Too Fast For Love

Chapter 21: Who's To Blame

I looked at the clock above my desk at the record store reading 5:57pm. Almost time to leave. It's been almost 3 weeks since Nikki left my place. For the most part and what I've seen, he's been clean and sober. Tonight, the guys had invited me out to eat which was different because they never do.

"Hey, did you want me to start locking up right now" Alice says peeking her head through the doorway.

"Yeah, that'd be great. Once your done, meet me in the car" I replied.

I grabbed my purse out of drawer and slipped on my oversized black and white striped sweatshirt. Considering it was the beginning of June, it was overcast and rainy all day, which is kind of weird for Southern California, especially out on the beach too. I got into my black convertible Corvette and turned on the engine. Only You by Poison Dollys started to play. I then saw Alice walk out after locking up the door and then walking over to the passenger's side. I then turned down the music.

"Are you down to come to dinner with me with the guys? They asked me to join them and I have no clue what it's about" I said with a nervous chuckle.

"Of course, doll. I'd do anything for you" she said with a cheesy grin.

"Sick. Well we are going to head over right now then, okay" I ask.

"Don't we need to change" she asks looking down at her ripped Levi's and oversized Cinderella tshirt.

"Naaa, we aren't going to some fancy ass restaurant" I say turning the music back up and pulling off into the street. Once we pulled up to Pacific Dining Car, the restaurant the guys told me to meet up with them at, Alice and I got out of the car.

"Damn, this place actually looks nice" Alice said putting her sunglasses on the top of her head.

"I know" I replied looking around the place to see if I could spot them.

"Over here" Vince said waving his hand with a smile on his face. We then walked over as each of the guys moved over a little bit in the booth to make space for us to sit. I looked across the way at Nikki who had his arm around some blonde bimbo. Of course. I was just glad he wasn't shooting up as much anymore (from what I know of). Tommy had Heather next to him. Mick and Vince were alone. Then the waiter came over to take our order.

"Is everyone ready to order" the guy asked taking out a pen. We then all proceeded to order.

"So What was it that you wanted to talk about" I ask looking over to Vince and Mick since they weren't busy sucking faces with anyone.

"Well the guys and I thought that it would pretty cool and fun to have you join us on our tour starting this summer. What do you say, Kat" Mick asked with a smile on his face. Joining Mötley Crüe on tour for six months straight? I'm sure I'd go crazy if I did. But looking over at how happy Mick and Vince were for their great idea, I couldn't let them down and say no.

"Fuck it, I'm down. What would I be doing though? I don't want to look like some slut groupie leaching of you guys" I say in a sarcastic tone and glancing over at the blonde bimbo kissing up on Nikki's neck. In that second, Nikki grins at what I say trying not to laugh.

"Excuse me" I heard her say.

"Yes" I ask taking a sip of my red wine.

"I have a name, you know" she replied flipping her hair and sticking out her chest more.

"Yeah, but what about a brain" Tommy said laughing, getting a slap on his arm by a grinning Heather who was trying not to laugh at it.

"It's not like Nikki would remember it anyways" I replied back. Alice couldn't help but spit out her drink because of laughing, which in return shot all over the girls face.
