“I just got a text and I know it's from my girl,” I explain. Yeah, I just called Addy my girl. So what?
“So, where is she? I haven’t seen you with a girl before,” one of the girls says. She has been coming here for the past few weeks, having a large back piece done. I have normally flirted back a little, but nothing to lead her on. My head was always swimming with images of Addy.
“She’s away at the moment, visiting some friends. She will be home soon,” I tell them, still not looking up from the design I am finishing up. I wipe away the excess ink and take a look, before touching up on certain parts.
“So, while the cat is away…” She leaves the sentence hanging.
“Yeah, this cat will only play with his pussy, no mouse can compare.” She huffs, obviously pissed at my comeback. I honestly don’t give a fuck. I am not risking this thing with Ads for anyone. I reach over and pick up the cleaning solution to clean the ink and blood off the girl. I throw the paper towel in the bin and tap her arm.
“All done. Go and have a look,” I tell her and get ready to cover the new tattoo up. Her squeals make me lift my head and watch as she jumps up and down, not bothering to stop her big breasts bouncing all over the place. Normally I would be all over this chick, but not today - or any other day for that matter. I am a one-Addy-man.
“Oh Dex, I fucking love it.” She throws herself at me and I have no choice but to catch her. Her friends are laughing behind her, egging her on to kiss me. Did I not just say a few minutes ago that I had a girl? Fucking sluts. Before I can push her off, Jay comes around the corner and looks at the scene before him. He looks down-right pissed. I gently push the girl off me by her shoulder and take a step back. I expect him to blow up at me but he doesn’t.
“I knew it was too good to be true.” He looks at me with such disappointment. My baby brother just gutted me.
“Hey, Jay. Wait up.” I jog after him. “Hey, I didn’t do anything. She was happy with her new tat and threw herself at me.”
“Same old Dex, huh?”
“I’m fucking serious. Ask them!” I turn and point to the three girls now walking towards us. The girl I just inked up smirks at me and her two friends just smile. Bitches. “So, you’re just gonna stand there and lie to his face? Do you know how much shit you just put me in? The three of you are banned from Caste Ink. Settle the bill and get out.” I storm off, leaving three very pissed off girls whose voices carry through to my back room. Fuck them. Fuck them all.
I quickly clean up my station, not wanting to be around Jay anymore today. He can handle the fucking walk-ins for the rest of the day. I grab my stuff and leave my room. The three girls are gone, but I notice that Jay and Luke are standing by the door, talking in hushed tones. I have no interest in what they are gossiping about and I head for the door.
“I’m out,” I throw over my shoulder.
“Where the fuck are you going?” Jay asks.
“Home. I have had a fuck-full today. You two fuckheads can handle the studio for the rest of the day.” I don’t wait for a reply before I head to my car. I know the only thing that can calm the brewing storm in my head is Addy. I need to hear her voice.
