》1981《

*Mallory*

Nikki and I have been together for a couple of months now and it's honestly been really great. We, of course, have a pretty active sex life along with the romance, and he gets pretty protective of me, too.

I actually feel happy and safe with him, and despite the crazy rock n roll bass player persona on stage, he's actually a huge sweetheart and really caring.

He insists that I shouldn't have to work stripping most nights to have money for food and for rent, that he can take care of it for me, but I don't want to leave all the work to him as well as the guys. I want to pull my own weight, too.

Despite how life was for me, its how I've been raised, and I don't see how I can't earn my part, too, if I'm able to work as well.

It was another Starwood weekend and the boys were killing it tonight, especially after performing some new songs. Thankfully I was off tonight so I can enjoy the show.

They were already on the last song, Starry Eyes, my favorite one.

Nikki had actually surprised me on my birthday with this song as a gift that night at the Roxy Theater.

"Starry Eyes")

"This one goes out to a special lady out there," Vince said into the mic.

The crowd cheered as I blushed, Nikki smiling at me before they started.

When she laughs
She's got the power of a child in her eyes
And when you cry now
She'll hold you like a man's supposed to be held
I can't get into words how I feel
Get it right in this song now
I had to set her free
Needed a friend
Come back to me

Oh starry eyes
Oh, oh
Oh starry eyes
Oh, oh

I danced along the music as the guys played, enjoying myself.

Standing alone in the light
You could see her cry
With a smile and a wink
And a sparkle in her eyes
She calmly sighed, I will be all right
Okay child
You've had to take the pain
Of a man in the streets
You gotta let me in
Needed a friend
Even just for one night!

Oh starry eyes
Oh, oh
Oh starry eyes
Oh, oh.

The crowd continued to cheer loudly as the boys performed excitedly.

Ooh no.
Ooooh no
Ooooh no
Ooooooooh...!

Mick then got to the guitar solo and the crowd went wild. As he finished he even took a moment to show off the paint job he did on his guitar as Vince continued the song.

Ooooh no
Ooooh no
Ooooooooh...!

Oh starry eyes
Oh, oh
Oh starry eyes
Oh, oh....!

I cheered along with the crowd as Vince ended the show, the crowd going wild and chanting.

"Crüe! Crüe! Crüe! Crüe! Crüe! Crüe!"

Vince ends the show with a farewell and the guys then got off the stage.

I high fived them as then Nikki ran up and hugged my waist, his bass hanging from his back, and then picked me up, spinning me around and making me squeal as he kissed me.

"You guys did amazing, as usual," I said as Nikki put me down.

"That was awesome!!" Tommy cheered, energized as usual.

"It was," Nikki laughed, his arm around me. "I'm starving now, though."

"Me, too. Let's pack our shit and go get some food," Mick said.

We all nodded as we cooled off, pack our things and headed out after getting the band's paychecks.

*Nikki*

We were all laughing along, eating and drinking, as Tommy was sharing a story about a threesome or something.

Mal suddenly moaned softly, adjusting herself a little in her seat, and I snickered as I pulled her close to me, my arm around her waist.

"She that good?" I whispered with a smirk.

"You may have some competition," she snickered, making me laugh as we shared a quick make out session.

"Get a room, guys," Vince snickered, making us pull back.

"We might," I joked, making them laugh and Mal blush a little.

That's when a guy in a striped shirt and weird hair walked up to us.

"Hey guys," he greeted us as we all turned to him, Mallory pulling up her panties and adjusting her skirt without him noticing. "I'm Tom Zutaut. I work for Elektra Records."

"Nice to meet you, bro," I greeted as I took a sip of beer.

Then Tommy did a weird cigarette trick with the stick between his chin and bottom lip. "Hey man."

"I'd love the opportunity to talk with you if you have a second," Tom said.

"Wanna sit down?" Tommy asked, keeping up the trick.

"That's really cool," Tom laughed.

"Sit. Do it," Tommy said, motioning to the empty seat next to Vince.

"Thank you," Tom said and sat down as Mal reached for a cigarette.

"Listen, uh, I've been seeing what you guys have been doing in L.A.," he said, kind of anxious but keeping it straightforward. "And I think, with my help, I think I could really, you know, do something for you--"

All of a sudden he jumped in surprise out of his seat and burst out laughing as he pulled the zipper of his pants back up.

"What is... OH MY GOD!!" Tom exclaimed in surprise as the girl, Candy I think was her name, poked her head out from under the table.

"No?" she asked Tom. "Not for you?"

"N-No thanks," Tom said awkwardly.

"You sure?" she asked.

"No, thank you," he said.

"Okay," she simply shrugged and went back under the table, I think going to service either Tommy or Vince.

"Anyway," Tom said as he sat back down. "let's get back to, you know, what I was talking about."

We all listened in as he spoke.

"So, what do you guys say? You want a record deal?" Tom asked.

"Uhhh," I said and then grabbed Tommy by the hair and slammed his head on the table a bit, everyone laughing as I let him go.

"I-Is that a yes?" Tom kind of laughed, confused.

"You know, I don't know if we can trust a dude who turns down a free blowjob," Vince said playfully as Tommy leaned against him.

"Yeah," Tommy agreed.

"Yep," Mick said, taking a drag of his cigarette as Mallory reached over for the business card.

"That aside, how would we know you are true shit?" She asked, reading the card. "For all we know, you could just be trying to scam the guys here."

"Swear, this ain't a scam," Tom assured. "You can even call and be sure."

I looked at Mal as she handed me the card.

"Its up to you guys," I said.

I looked at the others, who nodded. "Alright... Where do we sign?"

~~~~~

The performance part is a little sloppy only because I realized I originally had that they were playing Take Me To The Top and I didn't want to repeat it, so I changed the song and lyrics at last minute.

Hope you all still enjoyed the chapter eitherway and I also hope you like the story so far! 🌻
