Guys- Just hang with me a few more chapters... We all know Morgan isn't a likable character right now but all the hate i'm getting is a bit to much. Around 5-6 more chapters and things turn around. 💖
The next morning I got up and got ready for work. I have a full schedule today and then I'm meeting Junie at 8.
When I went into work no one said anything about Trace and I was glad. Ethan smiled at me and I smirked back at him and then got my ink out and got things ready to go.
My first client was an older lady who kept me laughing wanting a teddy bear on her chest with a middle finger up in the air.
"So why this tattoo?" I ask.
"Well at my age I'm tired of telling them to fuck off so I'll just show them this." She laughed.
She really lifted my spirits. I hope that when I'm her age I have the same humor.
"You are such a beautiful girl and I love all of your tattoos." She smiled.
"Thank you! Not everyone likes my tattoos but they are for me." I shrug.
"Ignore the hater's sweetie." She said as she handed me a tip.
"Thank you and have a good day!" I smiled at her as she walked up to mom to pay.
I was cleaning out my area when Ethan walked over. "You ok?"
"Yeah that lady was a hoot and I loved doing that tattoo." I smile.
My phone vibrated in my pocket and I stopped and looked and it was Trace and I glanced at the text.
📱I'm such a stupid asshole for doing what I did. My mom is so mad at me and well Jessa is worse. Thought you might want to know. I know you don't want to talk to me but I miss you. You took my heart with you when you left. I do love you Morgan and I'm truly sorry.
I read every word he said and I felt sad but idk if I should respond. I excused myself and went to the bathroom and read the words again and decided I would respond about Jessa only.
📱Trace I'm very sorry about Jessa. I hope things look up and yes you are a stupid asshole..... 😟
I use the bathroom and wash my hands and take a deep breath before walking out and my dad was standing there.
"Are you ok sweetheart?"
"Yeah, I'm ok just having a hard time dealing dad. Thanks for asking though."
"Come here and give your ole dad a hug." He said opening his arms.
"I love you, Dad," I said hugging him back.
"I love you too sweetheart and I'm sorry you are hurting. I would take it away if I could." He said.
"Thanks, dad! I gotta get set up for my next client." I said as he kissed my forehead.
I walked back up front and a very buff-looking guy was sitting waiting and I was hoping he was my client.
"Who's next mom?" I asked walking over to her.
"The hunk." She giggled.
I walked over to the guy... "Hey there! I think you're next."
"Great! I'm Jamie."
"Nice to meet you, Jamie. I'm Morgan."
We walked over to my area and I had him sit down. "Was I supposed to stencil something or what?" I asked.
"No my friend came to you and you freehanded him something and I loved it." He said.
"Do you have a pic of it so I can see it? I might remember." I laugh.
He shows me the tattoo and I recognized it but maybe not the person I put it on.
"Ok, so what is it that you want?" I ask.
"I was hoping for like a robotic-looking shield on my chest and up over my shoulder."
"Ahh ok let me freehand it and if you don't like it we can start over," I said.
"Sounds good." He took his shirt off and damn he's hot.
I grab my marker and begin drawing what I think he would want. My hands are all over his chest and he doesn't seem to mind.
"So do you live around here?" I ask.
"Yeah I'm a lifeguard at myrtle and I also go to college." He said.
"Oh, that's cool. If you're a lifeguard why not a water scene?"
"Maybe that's next." He smiled.
"Make sure you book an appointment before you leave because I'm booked up for months," I said.
"I will. So what got you into tattooing?"
"Umm growing up in this shop." I laugh.
"Oh well, now I feel stupid for asking." He laughed.
"Don't feel stupid. Most don't know that Kash is my dad and Navy is my mom." I smile.
"Oh, that makes you even more awesome." He smiled.
"Ok go take a look in the mirror and let me know what you think," I said.
I watched him walk over to the mirror and damn his ass is so juicy and plump. I have to bite my lip to keep from moaning.
He walks back over to me and sits on the table. "It's perfect and I like exactly what you put on me."
"Great! Are you ready to get started?" I smiled.
"Oh yeah, I'm ready." He smiled and his teeth were so white and straight. I wonder what he tastes like.
I get started with the outline and ask if he's ok. He smiled and shook his head yeah.
"So do you have a boyfriend?" He asked.
"No, not anymore. Are you attached to anyone?" I ask him.
"No, I don't like to be tied down." He said.
"Same! That's all I've hollered and then I fucked up and fell in love and he broke my heart. I'm a fuck em and leave them kind of girl."
"You're my kind of girl. Want to go out tonight?" He asked.
"I can't tonight I'm going out with my friend but maybe tomorrow?" I ask him.
"Sounds good! Let's exchange numbers when your done and we can meet up and have drinks." He said.
"That would be perfect Jamie." I smile at him and continue shading.
