Heartstrings and Sixx-Strings

Part 5 - Bacon and Eggs

The smell of maple and toast filled my senses as my eyes fluttered. I rubbed my face and rolled over, stretching out my legs with a big yawn. The sun shined through the curtains and casted a prism on the carpet. I lifted my head up and looked at the clock. Eleven-forty?! I quickly jumped out of bed, putting my pants on and throwing my blouse and jacket over my arm. As I walked out of the room, I saw a shirtless Nikki preparing breakfast in the kitchen in black ripped jeans. He turned around to look at me with a big smile.

"Good morning sleeping beauty! What's the big rush? I made us something to eat." Nikki put a plate of food down. "Here, have a seat. I know it's not the best, but eat up." he said. Honestly, how considerate? And for a rock star? I threw my belongings on the couch and noticed a pillow and blanket. He had slept on the couch all night and left his bed for me? I went over to the breakfast counter, sat down on the stool and reached for a bite of toast.

"You're just making me like you more." I said with a grin.

Nikki smiled. "Well, It's my job to make sure I treat you right." he said with a bite of food in his mouth. "I also promised Doc so..."

Nikki downed his glass of milk. Oh, right...Doc. I thought. I recalled the conversation from last night. Nikki had already been in my pants, and it hadn't even been even 24 hours since I met him in the dressing room. Was I just letting him take advantage of me? I mean, he did satisfy me last night, not himself, right? Hmph.

After chatting for a bit, I finished up my breakfast and Nikki and cleaned the dishes at the sink together. He picked up a handful of suds and put it on his nose, making a silly face at me. I giggled.

"I love hearing you laugh." he said, softly. Once the dishes were done, I grabbed my things. Nikki jumped up.

"Do you want me to take you home? Call you a cab?" he asked.

"Yeah, uhm, don't worry, I'll take the bus. You should get all cleaned up for your interview tonight." I said, walking towards the door. Nikki grabbed my shoulder and turned me around. He was looking in my eyes.

"When can I see you again?" he asked with some desperation in his voice.

"I'll be at the next show this coming weekend. I'll make sure to find you!" I replied, promising. He looked at me with such puppy dog eyes. How could I resist that lovable face?

I grabbed him by his head and gave him a big smooch right between his eyes. I headed out the door.

"Wait!" he said. I spun around abruptly, walking down the steps. He reached over the railing ledge, picking off a rose bud from a bush. He trotted down the stairs to me, brushing my hair behind my ear before placing the red rose in my hair.

"A beautiful rose for a beautiful rose." he smirked.

He leaned over and kissed me three times before running back up the stairs. I just smiled at him. I felt like a schoolgirl with a big, fat crush. I walked to the nearest bus stop and caught a ride home. Maybe these feelings were something more?
