Chapter 8.

I wake up to the sound of Vince yelling. "LILY! GET UP!" He yells through my apartment. He bursts into my bedroom with Mick, Tommy and Nikki trailing behind him. Vince picks me up, luckily the blanket stay wrapped around me.

"Vince put me down!" I yell.

"Nope," He says.

"Vince, I'm serious. Put me down, I'm pretty much naked" I say.

"Even more of a reason to not put you down" he smirks.

"Put her down, Vince" Tommy and Nikki say in unison. The others look at Nikki confused on why he said that and flashbacks of last night in Nikki's kitchen play in my head.

"I'm just messing," Vince says, putting me back down on my bed. I tighten the blanket around my body and sit up.

"So... are you going to tell me why you guys barged into my apartment all excited?" I say.

"We booked another gig tonight, even with the tour continuing tomorrow," Mick says.

"Oh my god, that's amazing!" I cheer, jumping up from the bed; ending with the blanket falling off my body, exposing my bra and underwear. "Shit," I say and quickly grab the blanket, covering myself again.

"Nice" Vince says.

"Shut the fuck up, Vince. She's off limits, ok?!" Tommy yells.

"Damn, ok," Vince says, putting his hands up in surrender. I stand there awkwardly and feel Nikki's eyes all over me.

"Nice hickey, Lily" Mick teases.

"What?" I ask confused and walk over to the mirror. I pull my hair to the side and see a hickey on the side of my neck. Nikki. "Shit" I mumble and hear Nikki quietly snicker. I look at him and he instantly shuts up.

"Someone had fun last night" Vince tease, laughing.

"Who did that to you?" Tommy asks.

"Uh, a guy" I mumble awkwardly.

"I'll kill him if I ever see him!"

"Tommy, calm down. It's fine, it's just a hickey" Nikki says. "Besides, I'm sure the dude could beat your ass better than you beat his."

"Yeah, you're probably right," Tommy says. "Just, be safe."

"Babe!" Nikki calls from inside his dressing room. I look around the hallway before walking into his dressing room to make sure no one heard him call me 'babe'.

"Shut up, Nikki. What if Tommy heard you?" I say, shutting the door behind me.

"Tommy will be too busy with his girlfriend to hear me yell 'babe'" he replies. "Besides, you shouldn't care if he hears, he's got a girlfriend, why can't you have a boyfriend?"

"Well he wouldn't mind if it was anyone else, but it's you, Nikki. Didn't you make a rule that we can't date each other siblings or some shit?" I ask.

"Probably when I was drunk or high, but that doesn't count. Besides, I made the rule... I can take it away" he says.

"Whatever. Anyway, what did you want me for?"

"Can you do the black line that goes on my cheeks, I can't be bothered?"

"Fine."

I walk up to his mirror and grab the black makeup he uses to put a line on both his cheeks. I tilt his head up so I can see better and start drawing the line of his left cheek with my thumb. I stop as I feel Nikki put his hands on my thighs, slowly slides them upwards causing my breath to hitch. I try to ignore him and carry on doing the line. I finish drawing both lines and put down the makeup.

"All done," I say and smile.

"Thanks, babe," he says and pulls me down onto his lap.

"Nikki, you need to go, your show starts anytime now," I say and try to get off his lap, but he holds me down by wrapping his arms around my waist.

"I don't care" he mumbles into my neck.

"Well you shou-"

Nikki stops me from talking by kissing me and he unwraps his arms from around my waist, putting them on my thighs once again. Before it gets any more heated, there's a loud knock on the door. "Hey, Sixx. Tommy's looking for ya" Doc says. I get off Nikki's lap as the door swings open and Doc stands there. "He wants to introduce you to his parents." I choke on absolutely nothing and cough.

"You ok?" Nikki asks and I nod. Why the fuck would Tommy invite our parents to this gig and not tell me? He knows I don't get along with them. "I see you've already met his sister," Doc says, looking at me.

"His sister just so happens to be my girl, but you've gotta keep that a secret or else Tommy will go nuts," Nikki says with a smirk as if it's the most casual thing.

"Nikki!" I say and slap his arm. "You didn't need to tell him that. Doc, please don't tell Tommy."

"Your secret is safe with me" He replies and I mouth 'thank you' to him.

Doc, Nikki and I walk into the area where all the equipment is and see Tommy showing everything to our parents. "Oh, Ma, Dad. Meet the Sixxter" Tommy says and Nikki walks up to them, high-fiving Tommy.

"So nice to finally meet you," mum says, hugging Nikki.

"It's a pleasure," dad says and shakes his hand.

"Hey, Nikki, we could fly your family our for the next LA gig," Doc says, not knowing about Nikki's past with his parents.

"Yeah, that's a great idea, Doc" Nikki replies sarcastically.

"Oh, guys, I want you to meet somebody else," Tommy says. "Babe, come here."

Suddenly, some brunette chick wearing revealing red clothes shoves past me and walks up to Tommy. "Mum, Dad. This is Roxie, my fiancée" Tommy says with a smile. I look at him shocked and sigh. Great, Anything I didn't know about. I walk away, trying to be unnoticed, but as I walk down the hallway someone grabs my arm, stopping me. They turn me around and I see it's Nikki.

"Hey, what's wrong?" He asks.

"Nothing, I'm fine" I lie and remove my arm from his grip.

"I know you're lying, tell what's wrong. There's something you're not telling me about your family. Why don't get along with your parents as Tommy does?" he asks.

"Ok, I'll tell you. But let's go to your dressing room." I pull Nikki into his dressing room and close the door. "The reason I don't get along with my parents or live with them is because when it was Tommy and I's tenth birthday, I got told by one of my aunties that I was an accident and that my parent where going to give me away, but then they saw how attached Tommy was to me and didn't want to break his heart by removing me from his life" I say. "So a few years later, I ran away from home and managed to survive on my own until I got myself that apartment and a job."

"I'm so sorry, Lili," Nikki says, pulling me closer to him. "Fuck them, you've got me."
