"Fuck you got my ear amy!" i screamed as she yanked the curling tong away from my skin.
"It hurts to be beautiful honey, trust me just you wait, Nikki will take one look at you and it will be like an instant yellow brick road to his bedroom," Amy laughed as she popped the lid of double-strength hairspray.
"Well he can be my wizard of Oz any day," I smirked as i started spraying the dark brown curls that framed my face perfectly. Amy applied the finishing touches on my eye shadow and lipstick. I looked like a cover girl off 80s Vogue or something. For once, i felt invincible.
"How much time have we got," I asked anxiously. Amy sighed,
"It's like seven forty, we have plenty of time. Don't want to look desperate now do we?" i squirmed in my seat,
"Of course not, maybe we should get a taxi, that way we have more than enough reason to stay at Nikki's," i suggested, covering up my stress. Amy pursed her lips,
"Good thinking beautiful. Keep up this attitude and Nikki will be falling over his bass guitars for you," She pinched my shoulders and turned me around to face the full-length mirror on the other side of the room. I glanced down at my outfit and smiled. Black stiletto boots against lacy black tights made my legs look amazing. My glittery oversized shirt just covered my bum and drooped over one shoulder, leaving the other side bare. Amy let out a low whistle,
"Nikki's gonna know the true meaning of 'Looks That Kill' as soon as he sees you walk through his door," I giggled and did a little twirl in front of the mirror. Invincible, i thought. Suddenly the phone rang. And I almost fell over running to the kitchen to grab it.
"Hello," I answered breathlessly.
"Hey sexy," I could hear his rusty voice on the end of the line. I grabbed the stool to keep myself up-right.
"Couldn't wait hey?" I laughed as I pushed up my top and fixed my hair. Amy walked into the room and looked at me weirdly. I mouthed 'Its Nikki Sixx' and her eyes bulged.
"I guess I couldn't, Ha Ha, what are you wearing?" he breathed into the phone. Every word from his mouth was a blessing.
"You'll have to wait and see mister," I replied seductively. He groaned into the phone and I shuddered with pleasure.
"I'll see you soon then?" He asked as I pulled myself together.
"Very soon," I half-whispered into the phone and hung it back on the wall.
'I am fucking fantastic' I said to myself and turned to look at Amy. She was holding her stomach laughing.
"You are amazing Emily, you don't know how much I fucking love you right now," I smirked.
"Come on then I'll call a taxi, get your shit together, remember all you need is money, lipstick and breathe mints," I did a final check of my little black purse, and hitched it under my arm. I practised my smile and strut for the final time in the mirror and as soon as the taxi pulled up, everything felt like i was in a dream. The lights of the city engulfed my vision and Amy grabbed my hand.
"Don't do anything you don't feel comfortable doing, i don't want you to get hurt," I squeezed her hand.
"It's fucking Nikki Sixx, and i can handle myself pretty well now, this isn't the first time we've been to a blow-out party," i replied and she nodded.
"Not quite as famous though," she laughed and i mentally squealed, imagining the whole set up before we even got there. The car finally pulled up outside a massive gate. Amy jumped out of the car in a flash, but it was like my muscles were locked. She had to drag me out of the car and shove me to the gate.
"Pull yourself together girl! He's only human," Amy tried to soothe me.
"He isn't, that's the thing... he is a walking god," i swayed at the thought of seeing his face again. Amy sneered and pressed the button. A rough voice answered the phone, it was Vince.
"What's up?" the voice machine crackled.
"It's Amy and Emily, the party's here right?" She said in a playful tone. Vince chuckled.
"Ladies, ladies, come in," The massive gates slid open and we looked down the almost pitch black driveway to see a massive house. It was gorgeous, white with massive windows and a front porch lined the house. We click-clacked up the steps in our boots. The door swung open and tommy was standing there, no shirt, with his leather pants and a bandana wrapped around his head.
"Boys, i think god dropped some angels from the sky and they landed right on the porch," Tommy laughed as he took a swig of Jack. Was that all they drank? I didn't care, i was intently focused on looking the most seductive as i possibly could. Amy laughed,
"Well he's definitely sent us to the right place," i could hear 'Too young to fall in Love' blaring on the speakers inside. I already felt like dancing.
Tommy stepped aside and invited us in. I walked in to the dim lighting of the front entrance. I had never seen a house more beautiful. And then i saw something much more, Nikki was lying on the couch across from Vince, they we're drinking and smoking. I found Amy's hand and grasped it tight,
"Vince, Sixx, the girls are here," Tommy shouted over the noise. Nikki sat upright instantly; i smiled nervously as we walked into the light of the room. Vince growled,
"So the rumours true, the angels really did fall from the sky," i looked at Amy, and she smirked. She then directed my eyes to Nikki's, which were intently locked on my legs.
Score! I thought to myself. I shuffled my legs a little to show them off. His eyes trailed up my body and to my face, it was like heaven, just a lot more Smokey and noisy. He was wearing a ripped singlet and his normal black leather pants. Showing off every possible curve in his god-like body. Hair still spiked, but his face was bare, which still made the butterflies go wild in my stomach. He stood up and walked over, the leather tightly fitting to every crevice. I felt like jelly.
"You look… Stunning," Nikki said eyes wide with attraction.
"Not too bad yourself... i have a thing for leather," I winked at him and he grinned.
"Want a drink?" he asked and gestured towards the bar across the room.
"What have you got," i answered, walking over to the bar and sitting on the closest stool. Amy had made her way onto the couch with Vince, i felt proud for her. He was already touching her leg,
So Vince, i thought… Nikki opened the fridge. Every possible spirit seemed to be in that fridge, and they lined the walls too. It was like i was back at work again.
"I'll have a Jack… seems to be the most sought after," i said humorously. He pursed his lips,
"I like your style," he replied and set a glass in front of me. One of many, many glasses that continued to be put in front of me for the majority of the party.
