*Nikki's POV*

I sat on the couch, trying not to doze off as I stared mindlessly at the tv. I've been at Vanity's for over two hours waiting for her. Lucia had let me in before leaving for work.
I sat up and rubbed my eyes when I heard a car door open and shut, voices getting closer to the front door.
I stood up, walking into the kitchen and peering out the window as I saw her and Slash standing outside.
I didn't know her date with him was tonight? She made plans with me tonight. I frowned as I watched him try to make a move on her.

*Vanity's POV*

Slash walked me up to my front door, "I hope you had a good time." He said, smiling at me as he put his hands in his front pockets.

I nodded, "I did, thank you. It was different, fun...but different." I smiled, his hand brushing against mine. I watched him look around at the surroundings,
"I'm glad-" he seemed nervous, as he rubbed the back of his neck, "So I'll, uh....see you tomorrow at soundcheck?" He questioned, giving me a soft smile.

"Yeah, I'll see you there...." I became quiet as he pressed his palm against my cheek. I stared at him as he stepped closer, trying to give me a kiss but I stepped away from him. He had a look of disappointment as he moved away from me.

"Have a good night, Vanity." He mumbled before letting out a nervous chuckle,
"Goodnight." I said quietly as he walked down the steps of my front porch and too his car.

I walked inside, leaning against the front door, "damnit..." I muttered towards myself as I dropped my purse and keys on the entry table before beginning to walk through the house.

"That was more interesting than Spanish dramas." Nikki said, popping out from behind the wall.

I clutched my chest, leaning against the wall, "What is the matter with you!?! You scared the shit out of me!!" I shouted, lightly smacking his chest.

"What are you doing in my house?" I added on, trying to catch my breath as he laughed at me.

"You said to come here at seven. I woke up to the sun for movie night." Nikki explained, pointing to a few VHS tapes from blockbuster he had laying on my coffee table.

"What do you mean? I thought those plans were tomorrow?" I asked him as I started walking up the stairs, he was quick to follow me.

"No you said tonight, so how was your date? Did he take you somewhere nice?" He asked as he sat down on my bed.

I was quiet as I started taking off the red dress I was wearing and getting into something more comfortable. I could feel his eyes wandering down my body.
