14 Years [GNR/Mötley Crüe]

29. King Of Beers

Axl:

The show was amazing. The way Crüe did things made me realize how much successful they were right now compared to us. They were almost like a 'brand', a well functioning multinational company unlike us who were a small factory in a village.

We decided to go get drinks while the Crüe started their set, we could've waited for them, but... yeah well that didn't happen.

As we entered the bar, I saw a familiar figure sitting in distance sipping at her drink all alone, I should go talk to her I guess. We don't have to be awkward around each other. But I wasn't the only one who noticed her. Before I could Duff started moving quickly towards her. Before bringing her along with him.

She looked tired and skinny but not like a regular skinny more like an unhealthy way of being underweight, her hair was only till her shoulders now, the shortest they have ever been, in the same chestnut color. Her hazel eyes void of any expressions. Was... was she alright? I was slightly concerned.

My heart was racing. Why was I behaving like we broke up two months back? It's been ten years, get over it, it's not supposed to be awkward. Or just pretend that she doesn't exist.

"Dudee, look Erin is on the TV!" I heard Slash say.

What??!

I turned around to look at it, yep there she was, in some advertisement, she looked pretty, as usual. What is wrong with me?!!!! Am I still in love with every one of my exes!

"Who's Erin?" Nadia asked. Shit.

"Oh, that's Axl's ex-wife," Duff answered

Oh really? Really Duff? You really had to use the term ex-wife? You couldn't have just called her my ex?

She looked shocked at his reply nonetheless and turned to me, it felt like she was trying to ask me something but she couldn't bring herself to it.

"And he once punched David Bowie cos' he flirted with Erin. Yes THE DAVID BOWIE." Steven scoffed

"You punched David freaking Bowie! Why would you do that?!?" She exclaimed, that was the first thing she spoke to me since we met today afternoon.

Well I know she was a huge Bowie fan, who wasn't? Even I was but when it involved him and Erin, it pissed me off, though he and I later sorted it out.

I just shrugged in reply. Silence.

"Duff you wanna dance?" She asked him

Yeah right, go on do it, no ones stopping you, no one cares.

"Sure, but I will buy you a drink first." He smiled at her not before taking her hand and walking away.

I need to smoke.

o0o

Nadia:

"Vodka? How about I buy you Vodka? It's the best, I tell you." Duff looked at me

"No it tastes like shit, I will take black label on the rocks."

I was really getting into whiskey, especially in the past few months.

"I am sorry, I thought you were a.... you know?" He bit his lip letting out a sigh.

"Yeah, it's fine. I have been getting that quite a lot. At this point, I'm starting to feel there is better scope for me in that career than in law." I laughed

Duff thought I was a groupie at first. Every time a new crew member came, they did think I was the band's personal groupie.

"Oh really? What's your type? You into blondes?" He cocked an eyebrow with a sly smirk on his face.
