Axl’s P.O.V.

I had to leave for a break at the recording studio because, honestly, Monique was driving me mad. I couldn’t stand looking at her with Izzy, all smug, sitting on the couch together, with her legs resting on his lap, as he strummed her some songs. I just had to get the fuck out of there. I had quickly jotted down the lyrics that came pouring out of me when Slash played that little riff and we’ve both practically finished the song already. I really want Phoebe to know it’s about her, but I don’t want to come on too fast. I mean, we’ve known each other for not even a full 24 hours. I saw at the corner of my eye back in the studio Duff and Phoebe walking out just before Monique came in.

When I left and my feet hit the Strip, I had hoped they were just outside for a smoke or something, but they were nowhere in sight. Damn. I decided to go for a walk anyway and as I was walking down the Strip, it was just starting to wake up, as the sun was getting low. I was walking towards the sea and a thought hit me. Maybe Duff’s taken her to his spot? Duff has this favourite spot on a little hill covered in grass that’s right by the sand at the ocean’s foot.

Phoebe’s P.O.V.

As I studied Duff’s face change from blank to sly and I craned my neck back and my eyes trailed up the tight leather pants to eventually land on Axl’s stern face.

“Hey guys. What you up to?” Axl asked nonchalantly, still staring right down at us.

Duff looked back down at me, still hovering over me, he moved his hands down and around to the back of my thighs and brought them up to his waist, wanting me to keep them there, and he then moved them underneath my back and lifted me up so that he was sitting on his knees with me perched on top of him. I don’t really know what exactly he was doing, but I guess... it didn’t really mean anything because I had no idea where I was with Axl.

“Just having some food, man, and a swim you know?” Duff replied coolly as he wrapped his arms around me, which made me shiver. Axl just nodded his head and he looked down, almost looking a little sad.

“Well, I just came out to find you because we need you in the studio.”

“How much fucking time are we going to spend in there? The whole night or something?”

“I don’t fucking know, but I need your help on a song I’ve just written,” Axl’s eyes flashed to me and back to Duff, “Slash and I are really stuck on it.”

“Alright” Duff eventually sighed and he stood up, still holding me at his chest. “You’re not getting cold are you?”

Because I didn’t want to dig myself deeper into whatever I was getting myself into, I pretended not be cold (when really I was freezing my arse off) and Duff let go of me, and the three of us walked away from the beach in silence.

Duff obviously gave a shit about the environment, because he picked up our empty pizza boxes and carried them along the Strip until we reached a bin outside the recording studio.

Once we entered, all the lights had been turned off and it was empty inside.

“Motherfuckers! They didn’t wait for us to come back!” Axl yelled kicking the air. “I told them to wait till I found you two. Goddamn it!”

“Hey, man. It’ll all cool. We can come back tomorrow.” Duff attempted to calm Axl.

“You don’t get it do you? We’ve just been signed with a proper fucking record company, and you guys just want to slack off! Don’t you want to get some fucking money to live properly? We could die of starvation, man!”

I thought for a moment and wondered if Axl was always like this. I mean he did have a point about wanting to knuckle down and get some things done, but it was only the first day in the studio.

Duff just rolled his eyes and muttered something that I could just hear:

“Yeah, whatever, Axl. I’m going down to the Rainbow for something to drink, and I need to talk to Izzy about something... You want to come, Phoebe?”

 He held out his hand with a soft smile that made me die inside, but I felt Axl place a hand on my shoulder.

“Phoebe, can you stay? I want to show you something...”

I stood there, looking at the two sexy pieces of arse, both wanting me to be with them, but to make Axl not throw a hissy fit, I decided to take his hand.

“Maybe later, Duff” I smiled. He just nodded, looking a little sulky and said goodbye, and left the studio all to Axl and myself.

“I want you to listen to something...” He patted down on his lap with his hand as he turned on the power to the mixing board, and he turned on a newly recorded on tape on the table. I cautiously sat down on his lap as he slid both of his hands around me waist supporting me so I wouldn’t slide off.

“This is just a demo, by the way...”

As I was waiting for the music to come through, little did I know what I was in for... and my life would definitely change drastically in a few minutes.

Hey guys!!! YAY! I’ve got through my writers block and I’ve got the story planned out ;)

I hope this wasn’t too boring, but it was a bitch to think about what would happen after Axl found the two on the beach...

What do you think Phoebe will think of this mysterious song about to be heard?

Also, I’m letting you in on a little secret... I’ve started to write a fanfic about... Mr Izzy-fucking-Stradlin! Since he’s my newfound member, I can’t help but feel SO intrigued by him since I know hardly anything about him since he stays away from the public light. It’s very frustrating because I can’t stalk him! ANYWAY, it's called 'Bad Obsession' and I’ve written the first two chapters and I shall publish them... let’s admit it; I’ll probably upload them tomorrow since I can’t wait for you to read it!! 

Thanks for your support and I love you!
