Chapter 25

“What are you going to get?” asked Reece, looking over at me as he drove down the road towards the Tattoo parlor. I bit my lip, I hadn’t planned this really, it had been an idea of mine since sometime earlier this year but I’d pushed the paper with the design scrawled on it to the back of my draw and forgot about it. Now I knew what I was going to get.

“Surprise” I smiled

“At least tell me where?”

“I’m getting 2 actually” I smiled and he looked shocked “On my ribs and I’m not sure where I’m getting the second one”

“Well” he replied, pulling up to the curb outside the tattoo parlor “Time to make your decision”

I stepped out of the car with Reece and tucked the piece of paper deeper into my pocket. He pushed open the door and I followed him in, a man covered in tattoo’s grinning at us from the front desk.

“Well If it isn’t Reece Mastin” he laughed, blue eyes twinkling “What brings you back, something wrong with your new Tat?”

“No” he smiled “The tat’s great, my girlfriend wants to get one done actually”

“Girlfriend?” he asked, looking back at me. I smiled and waved. “So you’re the girlfriend”

“Guess I am”

Reece smiled at me before turning back to the man “So Tim, reckon you could do this for me?”

“I’ll see what I can do” he smiled and looked at me again “You have a design?”

“2 actually” I said stepping forward to the desk “But I want to keep them a secret”

He laughed “I see this something special?”

“You could say that” I pulled the crumpled piece of paper out of my pocket and handed it to him. Tim opened up the paper slowly and studied the designs carefully.

“Where do you want these?” he asked

I pointed to the big tattoo “On my ribs and this one-“I pointed to the words “I don’t know where to get”

He nodded “I have an idea, so I’m going to go draw up a template and I’ll be right back” He pointed to the seats and I nodded, dragging Reece over with me.

“Still not going to tell me what you’re getting?” he asked, sitting down and dragging me onto his lap

“Nope” I grinned kissing his lips “Not even if you begged”

He pouted “Meany”

I laughed and kissed his cheek “I love you”

“I love you too” he whispered, nuzzling his nose into my neck “I told Bre and Liv we were here, they might drive over here”

I smiled “Fun”

He looked up at me again “Can I hold your hand?”

“During my Tattoo or in general?”

“During your tattoo” he smiled wrapping my hand around his “I don’t need permission in general”

Tim came back with a quickly copied design on a piece of transparent paper “Ready?”

I covered Reece’s eyes and looked back at Tim “Yup”

He laughed, grabbing his book to cover the paper as I removed my hand from Reece’s face.

“Come on then” sighed Reece, picking me up in bridal stride and set me down on the tattoo table, dragging a chair to my side so he could sit with me.
