I had nervously finished Matt's tattoo and cleaned up. While Oliver and Adam were watching me.
I was dying inside.
Why did they have to watch me? Why couldn’t Paige or Toby come and occupy them?
The only thing I was grateful for was how I always had a steady hand. If not im pretty sure this tattoo would look like a 4 year old had drawn it.
I sat in my chair behind our table cursing everyone under my breath. While Paige talked to Matt and Oliver , showing them our portfolios. Toby was with another client and Adam had gone to check out the venues.
The guys had stayed for a bit but told us they had tour things to attend to, so they left. Stating that they would see us later at the bar.
I really didn’t want to go to the bar after but obviously I was forced too. So here I was, lying on my bed waiting for Paige and Toby to get ready.
I've never been the one to take long getting ready when going out. Firstly because I never wanted attention from guys and secondly I never understood what the point of standing in front of a mirror caking on make up and making your hair perfect only to come home with raccoon eyes and sweat drenched hair. It seemed like a waste of time.
Flicking through the TV channels I settled on just watching the weather for a while. Adam txted me the place they were at, luckily enough it was were most of the artist from the convention were headed and the live show. It sort of made my night a bit better, I loved live shows.
My stomach was in knots knowing that the guys from Bring me the horizon were going to be there though. Matt also had been txting me, asking if I was coming still and that he couldn’t wait to see me. Not to mention how many compliments he was sending a long with the txt.
I had shown Paige earlier and she told me to take it and use it. I had to get over my fear when guys showed interest. This was for the shop.
“Well don’t you look like your plotting to murderer everyone in this place” Adam placed a beer in front of me as he slipped onto a stool beside me.
“Maybe I am.”
I heard him snicker at my bitterness.
“And why is that?”
“Because”
“Because what?”
I looked at him straight in the face giving him cut eye.
“Because all of you sat there and watched me! Its bad enough Matt started hitting on me and asked me to go out! ”
“What?! that’s a good thing, you have to stop being so scared.”
“Scared of what?” A voice came from my other side making me cringe I knew who's voice it belonged too, quickly racking my brain for a lie. I turned.
“Scared that our shop will be shut down by the time we get back. I mean its everything to me.” I was sounding like Paige, she would pout and try to take sympathy from others while battering here eye lashes.
“Well I don’t think that will happen.”
Wait what? is it working?
“Your art work is one of the best ive seen, when it gets noticed by the right person. Id be more concerned on when to get a bigger shop"
Huh? Did Oliver just compliment me? Does batting your eyes work?
“ if that person ever comes along” I sighed still continuing.
“I know of such a person” he smiled cheekily.
“you do?”
