12: New Year's Eve

After a few weeks...

January 1, 2008| Los Angeles California

Again, I was in L.A. with my Dad. He took me to the studio where his band was having a rehearsal. I met the rest of his bandmates and they are very nice than I've expected. Ron kept on winking at me while I tried so hard to avoid Richard. The rehearsal ended up six in the evening, earlier than usual because everyone will be celebrating for New Year's Eve.

"Bye Ax, Happy New Year!" Robin Finck, the third guitarist shook hands with Dad before exiting the studio, as well as the rest of the band and crews did. I didn't noticed Richard but I guess that he already left, not even thinking of me like I do.

"Dad! I'm excited to go home!" I squealed as I follow him to the parking lot. The winter is not yet over. I was clutching my leather jacket around me as the snowflakes began to fall.

"Excited for what?" he asked jokingly. "To go to sleep?"

"Dad!" I whined.

"I was just kidding my lil' princess" he laughed, ruffling my hair.

"Lil' Princess? That's cute Axl" that voice sent shivers down my spine.

I turned around to see a motorbike next to my Dad's car and my eyes widened. The gifted musician is on it!

"There you are!" Dad pointed at him with a grin. "Mind joining our lil' party at my place?"

Oh. My. God. Dad's inviting him over our house!

He glared at his watch on his wrist. "Uhm, I'll try"

"Be sure, I'll be waiting" Dad said as he get into the car. I took a glance at him as I also get in, he raised an eyebrow with his iconic smirk.

He's so fucking hot!

We got home just as Sasha arrived from her modeling shoot. I twitched when the two started making out on the sofa. Definitely not what I wanted to see. Running up the stairs, I went to my room to get change. Hoping that Richard would come tonight, I chose a perfect winter dress with a matching cardigan. (Picture of the dress above/aside). Next is makeover, I smudged on some eyeliner, mascara and plum lipstick. Then, I brushed my hair and slipped on a pair of black ankle boots.

Perfect! Nice one Barbie, it's like your going on a date!

I made my way downstairs and thank God, Dad and Sasha has stopped sucking each other's faces. The smell of tonight's dinner filled my nose as I trudge to the kitchen.

"What's cooking?" I asked, standing by the dining table.

"Wow, Barbara. You look stunning darling" my Dad commented and I giggled.

"Thanks, I've been always good-looking"

Hey wait, where the fuck is Richard?

"Where's our special guess?" I pulled a chair to sit as Kyla, our cook began serving the dinner. The red candles over the table were lighted, there are also bottles of wine and the funny thing is, we got fruitcake for desert.

"You mean Richard?" Dad snorted. "The guy's quite busy I don't think he can make it"

I felt totally frustrated deep inside. "Okay"

"Babe, look at my pictures!" Sasha intervened, showing her phone to Dad.

I filled my plate with pasta and salad as the two began chattering. Ugh, why am I so affected about his absence?

"Mr. Fortus is here sir!" Louis yelled.

"Let him in" Dad replied and I felt a mixture of excitement and nervousness.

Shit, shit, shit!

"Happy New Year buddy" hearing his voice almost got me choked up. "I brought us something special" he placed a huge box over the table.

"What the fuck is that Richard?" Dad asked with a grin.

"Chocolate cake" he chuckled but still, I couldn't help but look at his handsome face.

Guess he really doesn't notice me...

In an unexpected moment, the gifted musician sat over the chair beside mine. At first, I glared at Dad's reaction across the table but he doesn't seem to mind it. I could feel his burning gaze on my pale skin. It seems like I've lost my appetite now because of excessive nervousness.

"What took you so long?" Dad asked Richard and I could finally breathe.

He poured some wine on to his glass before answering, "I went to friend's house"

"No date tonight?" Sasha asked him, faking her voice. Fucking bitch...

Please say NO!

Richard laughed again while shaking his head. "Probably, a date with my new guitar is perfect"

I sighed in relief. But not too obvious, of course!

Since I really don't have the gut to approach him. I just locked myself in my room, forcing myself not to cry. But it really hurts deep inside how much love flies away from me. I pushed away my thoughts when I heard some footsteps coming from the hallway. Like what I always do, I peaked a little bit from the door. Fucking satan, Richard's leaning over the window across the hallway. Seriously? He's staying here overnight?

I got out and silently walked across the hallway, standing beside him to catch his attention. The night breeze blew his hair as he gaze upon the full moon.

"You look amazing in that dress" his compliment set my cheeks into a deep blush.

"Hmp, I thought you don't see me!" I rolled my eyes but I was squealing like a little girl deep inside.

"I do, I just don't say a thing. Especially infront of Axl" he replied.

I could see, he got a big respect for my father. But

I want more than this conversation! I want him so bad!

"You don't know how much I value every single attention you give me... " my voice trailed off. He's not responding and I'm about to lose my temper. "If you were listening!"

At first, he just glared at me with a blank expression. "Were you shouting at me?"

I gasped when he held my jaw with his hand, making me face him. My heart was sent to overdrive again.

"W-what're you doing?" I stuttered.
