Coffee and Cigarettes are my only escape.
I got my cup of Joe, my pack of stokes,
And I'm on my way downtown, to
Set up shop, and sing my cares away.
So, won't you sing with me,
'Cause it's cold outside, and I'm feeling kinda lonely.
(NeverShoutNever - Coffee and Cigarettes)

SUCH A NASTY HABIT...

Chapter 1 - Coffee and Cigarettes are my only escape...

"I guess it's just us," I said to the feline as he bobbed his head from my jacket pocket. He wiped his auburn paws with his tongue caressing his ears slightly as he cleaned himself. He purred, snuggling back into the pocket. I had had Nemo ever since he was a kitten. Nobody wanted a pest.

The streetlights began to flicker as the bitter winter cold bit at my face. I pulled my hat on tighter and held my jacket together. We had been out all night as soon as our last tour rushed us off to another destination. Spending the night in a city made it worth the while. It may be because I had gotten to see the beautiful sights, the glorious festivities and the amazing food. It was better than being chased by girls. I'll admit I had had my fair amount of them but some just screamed stalker.

Some even followed my mum on twitter. TWITTER. Hopefully she didn't post baby photos. I didn't exactly keep my clothes on in the photos.

Nemo immersed from my pocket and started to chew on the assortment of buttons and strings. He jumped out walking along side me. As the city clock chimed at 3 in the morning, hastily I made my way back to the tour bus which was pretty silent at this hour. Normally it wasn't. Standing outside, drawing onto the cancer-stick that was hanging from my lips, I gazed out further to the distant houses whose lights were just switching off. I exhaled the cloud of smoke that came from my mouth and stubbed it out.
"Nasty habit, you got there?" A voice slowly made its way towards me. I couldn't even stop myself from answering.
"Well, I guess the only way to live - is to show the world that you are not afraid to die," I answered squishing the dimly lit cigarette. The voice decided to show its face and its body. A woman appeared. Her upper body was slim covered by a leather jacket and her ripped jeans tightly hugged her hips. Her angelic face complimented her beautiful smouldering eyes. The chestnut brown hair flowed down her back and stopped right above her hips. Her full lips painted red parted as she threw her cigarette to the floor, standing on it.

"Huh, a philosopher? Or are you just a smart-ass?" She asked taking another glance up at me. Her cheeks flushed. The redness of her cheeks were enticing to say the least. Pure beauty.
"I dabble. What is a woman – like yourself – doing out this late?" I questioned as I played with the strings of my jacket. Nemo's soft breathing had altered as if he was waking. Silly cat never slept for very long.
"I don't need a reason," She winked before strutting away leaving me breathless as she swung her hips erotically with each step. I had to see her again. I needed to.

By morning, the band decided to lurk in and wander slowly towards the beds and shower. One night stands did that to you. They left you feeling dirty and not having any reconciliation of the night before. Nemo had emerged from my pocket and strutted towards his bowl that lay on the floor. As he drank his water I decided to clear away my thoughts from the previous night and drink some coffee. As I filled the kettle Jasper – my band mate – slapped my back, which was a signal for a coffee as well. His long blond hair was in his blue eyes as he sat on the couch. His clothes wrinkled from the night before. Even his shoes remained on. Jasper was content with silence. He was known to play with Nemo from time to time but Nemo had never been as attracted to others at all.
"Has it been a long night?" I asked. He groaned and nodded his head. He had muttered something about a stupid pixie that had got away.
"Man, I think I'm in love," He whispered. I choked back a laugh as I poured the hot water from the kettle. After pouring milk into our coffees and handing Jasper his, I sat down on the couch and slouched back.
"I know the feeling," I grumbled sipping the coffee. The beautiful brunette from last night was still out there and I wanted her.
"Even after Tanya?" I nodded. Tanya was my ex. Things had not ended well with T at all. Slept with my ex-best friend in my own home and lied to me about being pregnant. Jasper knew. Only he did. He blanched before gulping his coffee down quickly. "Comin' for a smoke?" I nodded again grabbing my jacket to meet the winter cold that was Seattle.

Puffing on my first cigarette of the day, I realised that Seattle was our last stop, we could stay here. Maybe find our girls. Well, technically, they were not ours. But they will be. Nemo sauntered out of the door and clipped my pant leg until I pulled him up into my pocket. Nemo had always loved my pockets – more than anything.
"One of these days, that cat of yours is going to shit right in your pocket. And I will laugh," Jasper confessed as he closely inspected Nemo in the pocket. What Jasper didn't know was – that Nemo had done it when he was a kitten and I had to get rid of the jacket.
"So who is your lady love?" I asked bringing the topic back. Jasper smirked. He grabbed his phone from his pocket and fiddled around until he found it. A picture. A small pixie like girl appeared on screen – with similar features that matched my angel – except she had chocolate-like brown eyes and jet black hair that was spiked around her face.
"Cute," I said as he flicked through the other pictures then I saw it. My angel. The girl I was hoping to see again. "Who is that?" I asked shocked to see her dancing with Jasper's girl.

"That is Bella. She is Alice's sister. Horrible break-up. Smoking hot body. What's not to love?" Jasper replied winking at me.
"That is her! The girl I saw last night and spoke to" I whispered, the other guys would have thought that I was a pansy if they had heard any of this conversation.
"We need to find them," Jasper mumbled. I nodded giving him a questionable look.

I coughed rather loudly and kept coughing until Jasper had to forcibly pat me on the back. I stood up straight again.

"I should really quit," I said before throwing the cancer-stick to the ground stubbing it out.

Let me know if you want me to continue the story...or if you think it's a failure. Nemo is mine.

Thanks
