When They Call My Name

Whose That?

"So who is he?" She asked again.

"I don't know, just some random guy on my bus route. I like to draw people when I have nothing to do on the way to work." He signed. Though that wasn't necessarily true since the stranger was the only person he had drawn while on the bus.

Juliet raised an eyebrow, rolling her eyes at this. "Bullshit." She scoffed. Andy groaned, she wasn't going to drop this anytime soon. "Am I not allowed to draw hot strangers that I have no intentions of speaking to?" Juliet chuckled in amusement at that, shaking her head.

"This is why you're single, Andy." She said, but Andy shrugged. He didn't care that he was single. He was more than content with his life.

All Juliet wanted was for Andy to be happy and to find someone that loves him for who he is. He was such a kind and sweet soul. He deserved to find love, but it seemed that he had no interest in pursuing anything or anyone.

Andy flipped her off with a smile, making her laugh. "Very mature." She signed.

"Hi! How can I-." Juliet spun around, cutting off whatever she was saying, though Andy assumed it was a customer that had walked in. He looked up to see a man standing at the front desk. He was on the shorter side with messy, long black hair and piercing eyes, wearing a leather jacket, a black t-shirt and skinny jeans. He looked older than Andy, but he couldn't be certain by how much.

"Andy? Can you take him? He asked for you and I wanted to make sure you had the time." Juliet said, facing Andy again.

"Yeah, of course." Andy stood up, sitting his sketchbook aside and made his way over to the man. "Hey, I'm Andy. Nice to meet you. What were you wanting to get?" He greeted.

"I was wanting a black widow spider here on my arm. My old artist moved and a friend reccomended you to me. I'm Jinxx by the way." The other man explained, holding out his arm to show Andy the spot he wanted it.

"Easy enough. You said your name was Jinxx, correct?" Andy asked, making sure that he didn't misread it.

"Sure is." The older man chuckled.

"That's sick. I like that." Andy complimented. "What size are you wanting it?"

"Maybe like this big?" Jinxx replied, holding his hands up to gesture the size.

"Okay, we have some black widows on our splash sheets if you want to take a look around." Andy said, grabbing his tablet so he could print off a a copy from the computer.

Jinxx walked around, looking effortlessly cool in a way that Andy doubted he could ever pull off, looking at the spider wall before pointing to one he liked. Andy walked over to see which one it was before nodding, and printing it.

He gestured for Jinxx to follow him back to the front desk, keep him in his line of sight in case he spoke as he pulled the paper out and held it up.

"Does this size work?" He asked. The older man tilted his head, taking the paper from Andy to inspect it closely before nodding. "I think so yeah."

"Awesome, I'll go set up my station. You can hang out here and Shevy will bring you back when I'm ready for you." He instructed before turning around to head over to his station.

He glanced at Juliet to make sure the older man hadn't said anything to him since his back was turned before proceeding.

"Shev? Can you bring the guy with long hair back when I'm done setting up?" He asked, approaching the desk she was sitting at. Shevy looked up and nodded, smiling brightly. She was such a sweetheart, he liked her a lot.
