Sugar Make it Slow

Chapter 9-How Could She Look So Fine

--Paisley POV—

The sound of the phone ringing jolted me from my nap. My heart racing, I pick up.

"Hellooo"

"Hey beautiful" the familiar soft voice greets me.

"How was rehearsal?" I ask.

"It was okay, the guys weren't too pissed at me. Were you asleep?"

"Yeah, I was just taking a nap" I look at the clock, damn it's 9 pm. "And I didn't even notice it's so late already... I have to work tomorrow morning" I groan.

"Well, I really want to see your pretty face tonight" Slash says quietly. The boys are probably listening to him. I giggle at the compliment.

"Well that's too bad cause I don't want to see you at alllllll" I say in a joking tone, earning a whimper from the other side.

"Can I come by in half an hour?" Fuck, I'm a post-nap mess.

"Yes please do, what's the plan Slash babe"

"You'll see, but wear a sweater, I'll see you soon!" With that, we both hung up and I start to get ready. I splash my face with water in some sort of attempt to wake up. Hair in a high pony and light makeup are my only options for now. I throw on a tight black turtleneck with a black cropped sweater that has a silver half zip in the front. I put on loose black high waisted pants that are tight at the ankles with a belt that has a silver buckle. With a pair of sneakers, I don't feel my best, but this will have to do. I eat a bowl of cereal the fastest I've ever eaten before and smoke a cigarette while I wait. I'm blasting Under My Thumb so loud and dancing by myself and I can barely hear the knocking at the door. The pounding gets louder and I dance my way to the door. I open it to see a laughing Slash holding a rose in his hand. He's wearing a leather jacket over a barely buttoned up black shirt and light jeans. His hair covering his face, I grab his hand and he spins me.

"This is for you!" He says half-shouting as I turn the record down.

"It's beautiful" and he leans down for a kiss. This small gesture means a lot more to me than he probably knows. I put it in a cup of water, grab my bag and my key. We step outside and I close and lock the door. When I turn back around, Slash is standing right in front of me. He puts one hand above me on the door, slightly pinning me against the door. I get slightly flustered as he puts one hand on my cheek, stroking it gently. He looks down at me with a small smile.

"You look absolutely gorgeous, those few hours without you were awful"

I close the space between us, kissing him. I don't know what to say to that, I just kiss him deeper.

"Thank you Slash, you look...well... so fucking hot" I say breathless.

He smiles and kisses my cheek.

"Let's go" he says holding my hand. I have no idea where we're going but he could drag me anywhere and I wouldn't complain at all. We get to a car and he opens the door for me.

"I didn't know you have a car?"

"I borrowed it from a friend, we're gonna go for a drive." He kisses my cheek again and walks over to his side.

We drive for a bit and I probably look like a small kid drooling over the sights of LA.

"You haven't seen anything yet" Slash just chuckles to himself. I turn up the radio and put the window down.

Rebel Rebel, your face is a mess

We somehow arrive at a lookout and it is absolutely breathtaking. I get out of the car as quickly as I can and look down at the city lights. We're all alone and there is just the sound of the trees blowing slightly in the wind and the radio playing. I run to the front of the car and lean against the bumper. I can't believe this, it's so beautiful. Just something about the lights and seeing the cars driving and just the whole atmosphere just moves me. I can feel Slash moving towards me.

"Slash look at this view, I just can't believe it isn't it beautiful?" I can feel his stare piercing into me as he mutters
"So god damn beautiful"

I can feel my cheeks turning bright red and I look at him.

"Thank you for bringing me here, this is insanely beautiful."

He finally looks at the view and we sit staring at it, his arms around me. I light up a cigarette. Something about smoking and looking down at the view is so romantic. It's almost too good.

"Do you ever think about like, what the point is of all of this? Like, sometimes I think...nothing really matters. We could all die tomorrow you know? Like when I failed out of school, in a way, it didn't even really matter to me because I know that I'm just going to be gone someday and nothing that I do and nothing that I ever did will matter anymore." I ask Slash, leaning my head on his shoulder.

"Well, I mean, what you do now really matters to me...if that means anything. I do think about it all the time though, like I guess we're all just trying to make the most out of it. Y'know, we're all just put on this earth and we didn't ask for it. So I guess it's all about finding small moments of happiness in whatever we do. Living our lives, doing what we want. But it all gets so complicated."

I nod slowly, wrapping my hand in his. I give him a kiss on the cheek and he sneakily moves his head, catching my lips.

"I don't like complicated" I say pouting.

"We won't do complicated"

I'm starting to get a bit chilly and he can tell by my shivers. It's also starting to get late, and despite my nap, I know I should probably get some sleep before a full day at work. I explain the situation and we start to drive back. We get back to my apartment and he walks to the door with me. I manage to get my door open and look at him. He looks so fucking perfect just standing there. I put my hands in the form of a fake camera and snap a picture of him in my mind.

"What was that you goof!!" He says laughing.

"I just want to remember this, all of it" I say slightly seriously.

He leans in and kisses me. This time with a deeper passion than before. His hands tight around my waist leading me the rest of the way inside. Slamming the door with his foot, he has me pressed against the wall. He starts sucking lightly on my neck and I moan softly. I slide his leather jacket off his shoulders.

"Why don't you stay a bit longer?"
