"DON'T PICK anything stupid," I warned him as he kept on grinning while browsing the book with different tattoo ideas.
He threw me a glance for a second and was still grinning. He just ignored me and continued browsing through the book that he was holding. Did I make a bad choice by asking him to do this?
Napa-face palm nalang ako habang hinahantay si Cash na mamili ng ipapa-tattoo sa'kin. I saw him calling the tattoo artist and pointing at the book – whatever tattoo he picked for me, and I saw the tattoo artist look a bit surprised before nodding his head at Cash.
Oh, God. Anong pinili niya?! Should I back out na kaya?
The tattoo artist printed the tattoo that Cash picked. He also decided to put the tattoo on my left back shoulder, kayahindi ko talaga makikita. Pinag-usapan namin na we can't see our tattoo until tomorrow when we wake up.
I winced at the first touch of the needle into my skin. I just bit my lower lip as hard as I could.
"Does it hurt?" he asked, looking a bit worried nang sinimulan na akong tattoo-an. I nodded my head, and his face became more worried while looking at me.
Cash took a stool and sat in front of me before grabbing my hand and squeezing it. Hinayaan ko nalang siyang hawakan at paglaruan iyong daliri ko dahil ramdam ko iyong sakit ng karayom. Sabi kasi noong tattoo artist sa mga maninipis na balat at buto ang pinaka-masakit.
Sinadya siguro ni Cash na piliin iyong likod ko para makaganti sa mga ginawa ko sakaniya noon.
"Did you know that there are 54 holes in a Skyflakes cracker?" Cash suddenly blurted out. My forehead creased slightly.
"Ha? Anong sinasabi mo?"
"Do you know how many potato chips are in a can of Pringles?" he asked again, out of nowhere. Umiling ako dahil hindi ko alam kung bakit biglang nagtatanong nang ganito si Cash.
"There are exactly 100 chips," he answered, smiling.
Cash kept on spatting nonsense questions at me so that I lost track of time. I don't even feel any more pain while getting the tattoo on my back shoulder. He successfully distracted me while getting tattooed. And then, after a few more minutes, I heard the tattoo artist say, "I'm done."
Nilagyan ng cover iyong tattoo sa likod ko at sinabi sa'kin iyong mga dapat kong gawin bago ako tumayo sa pwesto ko.
"Thank you," I said to Cash. He just gave me a smile.
I told the tattoo artist what I wanted for Cash. I decided to put his tattoo on his right upper shoulder, and I picked a minimal design of a wolf inside the moon, which I saw on IG not too long ago, which means "I have a soft side and a wolf side."
Bagay na bagay sakaniya.
Cash is a mix of a soft guy and a tough guy. You would never expect that he has a soft and gentle personality that could warm your heart with his sweet gestures. I've witnessed it a lot of times. You will not notice it because of his tough façade, but if you really pay attention to him, I swear, you will see that he has the softest heart.
