For better or for worse (Changed Man sequel)

05: No petty shit

*Chris

I focused on the butterfly tattoo I was doing on baby girl's lower back.

Taking a near by wet cloth I wiped down the extra ink, picking back up with the drawing and most important task at hand..to please my client the bell above the shop rung, but I paid it no never mind and kept working.

"yo Breezy wifey here." Keeis yelled

looking up I seen London smiling at me as she held a sleeping King. smiling at her with a quick wink I returned back to my work.

So in tuned with my work I didn't realize baby girl was talking to me.

"What you say ma?" I asked

"I said lucky you." She said referring to London who sat talking to Keeis.

"That's my life right there." I nodded towards her

Ma giggled "That's cute."

Not knowing what to say, I said nothing.

"Your son is so cute." she said

"Thanks." I mumbled tapping her back so she could turn on her side

"How old is he?" she asked yet another question

Being the friendly person I am I normal engage in a conversation with my customers...you know make them feel comfortable, but something about shawty seems off. but then again this is New York, you never know.

"He's one." I replied

"Cute." she smiled again

"He takes after me." I felt myself smile thinking about how much King act like me when I was younger.

"Oh is that right?" she asked smartly with a slight giggle making me look up from her inked body.

"Hell Yeah. What you mean?" I laughed at her shocked face

"You funny." She playfully rolled her eyes making me laugh loudly. Feeling as if I was under someone's cold glare I turned to see London staring holes into us. Blowing her a kiss she rolled her eyes and went back to her phone.

"Wifey looks mad..." Ma trailed off laughing

"Shid why you playing she might be...fina get me in trouble." I mumbled

"Oh sucks for you." She laughed

"Shid if I'm going down, you going down with me." I tried not to laugh but failed

"Oh why you so rude?!" She laughed loudly

"That's just me." I replied standing up

"Alright ma...we're done here." I replied

Standing up she admired her new add on to her collection of body art.

"Wow Chris this is amazing!" She cooed

"How'd you know my name?" I smirked

"What?! Everyone in Brooklyn know you a bomb ass tattoo artist." She insisted

"Aw shucks, I'm the shit." I wiped down my shirt

"We cocky or nah?" She asked with a raised eye brow

Thinking about it I answered "Maybe just a little?" I questioned in a playful manor making her laugh.

"What's your name?" I asked

"Karrueche." She smiled

Shawty was cute. She has a skin kissed tone just like London, long black hair with brown at the ends, and a real cute innocent face. She wasn't as thick as London, but you could tell she worked out.
