Lola

Chapter 14: Strawberry

*VIOLA'S POV*

I walk into Grey's work place after getting my morning coffee. One for him of course.

I walk through the big doors and see the usual worker.

"Hi Viola." She smiles.

"Hi Whitney." I greet before walking up the 3 flights of stairs to Grey's floor.

I use my chin to undo the door handle as my hands are full of coffee, my phone and strawberries.

Grey looks at me and goes to rise from his seat.

"Don't worry i got it." I reach his desk dumping everything on there. Being extra careful of the coffee's.

I grab Grey's and shyly stick it out to him.

"I-i got this for you."

The corner of his lips tug as he takes the coffee.

"Thank you."

I sit in the chair opposite him as he sips on his coffee working away. I like his company.

"Do your tattoos hurt when you get them done?" I tilt my head.

"No."

"Cool. I'm getting one." I smile.

His head whips up to me.

"Where? What is it? Why?"

"On my boobies, it's a weiner and because i want too."

His eyes harden as his jaw clenches.

"I'm kidding, Grey."

He swallows hard with a small nod.

"I want to get a strawberry on my rib."

"No."

"Oh."

I break our eye contact looking away.

Does he think it's childish?
Ugly?
Weird?
Boring?
Girly?

"Lola, look at me."

I draw my eyes slowly back to his.

"You can do it. But it will hurt."

"You just said it won't!"

"I lied."

I cross my arms over my chest with a huff.

"How bad will it hurt."

"Hard to explain."

"W-will you come with m-me? T-to get it?"

"If that's what you want."

"I do."

He nods.
