It Matters How This Ends Part 120

I sat on the chair and watched the artist as she got close to me with the tattoo gun. I missed getting tattoos. She began and I didn't even notice.

I had become immune to the pain and for me, the whole procedure was actually kind of boring.
I closed my eyes and went back to the day Piper and I met.
I saw everything so clear, it felt like it happened yesterday.
I saw me and my friends, drinking and having fun, when all of the sudden this gorgeous blonde woman walked in. She sat on a bar stool and ordered a margarita.
She seemed kinda lost, but in a cute way.
She instantly caught my eye and I remember the feeling I got.
It was like this force, dragging me towards her and there was no way I could resist it.
I remembered her blonde curly locks, falling perfectly down her shoulders.
I remember her big eyes, full of mystery and innocence.
I remembered her smile and the way she looked at me.
I remembered that that was the moment I had first fallen for her.

"Al, are you okay?", Piper touched my shoulder.

"Huh? Yeah, I'm fine. Why?"

"I don't know. You just seemed kind of...It seemed like you had wondered somewhere. Everything okay?",
her worried face brought a smile on my face.

"Everything is perfect. Just like you.", I chuckled.

"Aaand..we are all done.", the artist put away her tattoo gun and took off her gloves.

"How do you like it?", she asked me.
I looked down at my finger and was absolutely shocked at how good it looked.

"We love it. Thank you.", I said and paid her.

We left the shop, hand in hand, with our forever rings on.

"What do you want to do today?", she asked me.
