"lookin' for some hot stuff baby this evenin'
i need some hot stuff baby tonight..."

☆☆☆

"Well, well, well look who's finally here" Axl greeted us as soon as we walked through the door. The smell of alcohol and sweat immediately hit me. I made my way through the sea of people to the drinks because, this is a party after all. "There you are!" I heard a very familiar voice coming from behind.

Oh my god! Could it be? He showered!

"Aw were looking for me?" I said, teasing him. "Maybe" Izzy said and smiled "I just wanted to tell you something before I forget" "Sure, what is it?" "My room is locked so nobody can go in it. If you need anything come and find me alright? I'll open it up for you." Izzy said close to my ear so I could hear him over the loud music, sending shivers down my spine. I nodded and smiled politely "Got it. Thank you."

This man will always have my back.

Izzy returned the smile and then vanished in the crowd. I got myself a drink and walked through the sweaty crowd once again to get to my destination.

"Slash, Steven!" "Juliette!" Steven waved "Hey, hey, heyyy Hot Stuff" Slash said probably drunk already "How come you're not making out with some poor chicks yet?" "I don't know man, they are playing hard to get tonight!" Slash exclaimed, annoyed, causing me to laugh "I'm sure you're gonna find someone Slash." Duff said as he patted Slash's shoulder with his free hand, the other one was, of course, around Kassidy. "Yeah man let's not lose our hope!" Steven said. "There are way more people than I expected" Kassidy said surprised "For real! How did you even get so many people to come" I said. "We just invited people and those people invited others and well that seemed to work really well." Slash answered "Hey f*ckheads! I got us all drinks" Axl said making us all cheer.

We drank and drank and drank some more till most of us were hammered.
Well all of us except me. I decided I didn't want to get completely shitfaced just yet so I could walk around and help them just in case.

I didn't think they would need me for a long time tho. The boys were all making out with some girl, except Axl who stayed focused on talking with people, making connections and keeping me company.

"Did you ever think you'd actually be were you are today?" I asked, curious "To be honest I had big hopes for this so probably yeah. There were times where I lost faith, obviously, but I just kept on going and well it finally payed off. Look at us, we are working on our 2nd studio album and 1st actual album." Axl said, excitedly "I am really proud of all of you because honestly, you deserve this. Wait! let me make a toast." I said, drunk. "To your future success and I know there's going to be future success. If there isn't I'm going to be dissapointed. But that's not an option because there is going to be future success" I said and Axl raised his plastic cup and said "I'll drink to that" "I honestly don't know if that made sense but I'm mot in the right state of mind to form a sentence that's longer than 5 words." I said and we both laughed "Oh wait! I just did. My brain works in strange ways man" I said and Axl chucked. We then heard a voice calling Axl . "Excuse me, I have to go over there and talk." Axl said "It's all okay don't worry. I'm not making any sense anyway" I jokingly said. We slightly laughed and then Axl left

Alone again.

Heck maybe I should find something to hook up with.

I looked around and spotted an empty chair so I hurried my way over there and sat. I toyed the necklace around my neck while daydreaming.

I looked around the room and examined the vuew in front of me. Even tho I was drunk I still felt nervous about being here and especially now that I was alone.

I should probably go find Kassidy.

I looked around the room as I nervously tried to find my best friend.
Good news is that I did!

I walked over to her and suddenly I felt calmer "Hey, Jaws! are you alright?" "Yeah I'm fine"

I'm fine.

"Are you having fun?" I asked "Yeah I am thanks for asking. What about you?" "Could be worse." "That's an improvement!" Kass said and we laughed "Yeah I guess it is" "So what's up?" "I don't know man, I'm like so close to making out with the first male I see in front of me! I'm getting lonely." I said desperately and most importantly, drunk. We laughed and Kass proceeded to say "Anyone in here catch your eye?" and winked at me.
I looked over at Izzy, who was making out with some chick,for a split second.
"No, not really. Y'know even if someone did catch my eye, I would not hook up with him." "You and your cute little trust issues" Kassidy said and came closer "Also... I hope you know I saw you looking over at Izzy..." she whispered in my ear "What?" "I know you don't want relationships because you're 'focusing on your career' but you have got to stop lying about how incredibly hot you find Izzy! You know damn well that I know even tho you don't tell me anything." when Kass finished her sentence she realised that maybe she talked a bit too loudly because Izzy, who was sitting close to us, was looking over at us.

And then... Then we made eye contact and he... He winked. He winked AND licked his lips, without breaking eye contact.

Well... That was really hot.

"Juliette?" Kassidy asked, concerned "Is everything okay?" "Yeah... Um excuse me for a moment, I have to go and use the bathroom." "Okay".
I squeezed my way through but I finally made it. But of course, people were having sex in there.

Man this place is crowded.

I went back to Kassidy and said "ok I'm so not fine and nervous right now." "Oh honey calm down, I'm here... " Kassidy said as she rubbed my back. "I need some fresh air" I said and thought about the whole room thing Izzy mentioned earlier today "Well that's gonna be hard." "Izzy told me his room was locked up so if I felt nervous I could go there." "Oh my god did he really? That's so cute!" "Or I could just go to our apartment I mean he seems busy." "What? No no no, over my dead body. He did such a cute gesture for you and you are going to turn it down? Just like that?" "Are you trying to make me feel guilty?" "Depends. Is it working?" "It totally is." "Then yes I am. So either you go over there and politely ask agree or I go over there and politely agree but also talk about how hot you think he is. You pick." Kass said and smiled at me "Fine, fine, I'm going"
I slowly made my way over and I awkwardly looked at Kass who made a hand gesture to make me go on.

I gently tapped on Izzy's shoulder but nothing. I turned around and tried to escape but Kassidy shot me a death glare.

She can be very scary.

I tapped on his shoulder again but this time I got a reaction.

"What?" Izzy said, clearly annoyed, before turning around to see that I'm the one tapping his shoulder "Juliette?" he said as his expression softened and he quickly got up completely ignoring the chick he was just making out with. "What is it, are you nervous?" he asked and I nodded. I was unable to say anything because I felt so embarrassed. Izzy wrapped his arm around my shoulder, leading us both to his room.
He didn't even say anything to the girl he was hooking up with.

He quickly unlocked the door and I immediately took a deep breath. "Izzy thank you so much, you can go back to the girl you were with I don't mind staying alone. As for the room key, I can bring it to you later!" I said in a rush because I truly felt terrible. Izzy put his hand on my cheek and looked at me deep in the eyes but my eyes were fixated on the floor "Juliette... Look at me please." he said softly and I did as he told me. "Relax..." he said and kissed my forehead. I hugged him tightly and he hugged me back.

After a few minutes I broke the hug and looked at him "Thank you, Izzy, you have no idea how much you helped." "Anytime. Now wait right here I'll be back in one minute, okay?" "Okay..."

A few minutes passed and Izzy came back with a disc filled with drinks and water "I didn't know if you'd be in the mood for a drink or water so I brought both" "Izzy if we are still single when we're 40, will you please marry me?" I said while I looked up at him with a look filled with amazement and he laughed "Get on your knee, give me the proposal I deserve and I'll think about it" he said and we laughed. I carefully got on my knee looked at him in the eyes and said "Izzy, my favourite stray cat, my greasy-" "Hey, no comments about my personal hygiene, alright?" "Right, sorry, uh where were we? Oh right-... Will you please, please, marry me?" "Yes, yes, a thousand times yes!" Izzy dramatically said and we both chuckled. "But thanks for bringing both because I will need both" I said and drank a whole cup filled with liquid "Cheers" Izzy said as he took a sip from his cup.

After a few drinks, Izzy and I had finally become shitfaced too and we were laughing at absolutely nothing.

Once we stopped laughing Izzy looked at me deep in the eyes and said "You know what I find really funny?" "What?" "How you somehow only come to me when I'm with some chick" he said and gave me a satisfied look "Alright I need more drinks" I said as I got up but so did he "Hmm... Are you jealous Williams?" he said and smirked.

Now is about time I say something and f*ck up.

"Maybe." I said and caught him off guard.

Ah there it is! I'm so gonna regret that.

I made my way over the to the door but before I could open it completely, Izzy slammed it close from behind me. I was now trapped between his hands. Our bodies were so close to eachother. I could feel his breath on the back my neck. His breathing was a lot slower than his normal but so was mine. I slowly turned around and looked up at him. Our faces were inches apart. That's when it happened. Something and I thought about since I pretty much met him...

I suddenly don't regret saying that.

(slightly passionate scene ahead)

His lips crashed into mine and of course, I kissed him back. He broke the kiss and took one good look into my eyes before I grabbed his face and crashed his lips into mine once again but this time, the kiss was passionate. The simple passionate kiss soon turned into a heavy makeout. I heard Izzy lock the door behind me and I smirked. We slowly walked to his bed as he unzipped my dress and I let it fall on the floor. I quickly took my boots off and soon enough we reached Izzy's bed. He sat in the bed with me on top of him. I started unbuttoning his shirt and once it was fully unbuttoned, I helped him take it off. I then processed to help him slide his pants off and returned to my position on top of him.

We kept on making out as I felt him getting harder. He unhooked my bra, I took it off and then he grabbed me by the ass and pulled me even closer to him. I started kissing his neck while he took his boxers off and then returned to his lips. He flipped me over and broke the kiss so he could wear a condom.

He started kissing me everywhere, making me go crazy with each kiss he planted on my body. From my lips to the neck as he went lower and lower and lower until he reached my underwear, which he eventually took off. He winked at me and...

And...

...That's when I blacked out...
