"Are you sure that you want me to do it for you?" I asked Kamari as we walked into the tattoo shop I work at.
"Yes, I already told you." She rolled her eyes as she followed behind me.
It was just here since it was past 9, the owner said he trusted me enough to be responsible and not trash his business.
Locking the door behind us I turned around to see her sitting in my chair--at my station beginning to touch things and look around.
"Put that down!" I said seeing she had picked up one of my sketchbooks.
It wasn't one of my normal ones with tattoos and such, it was some of the things I had drawn. By the time I got over to her, she was already on a random page looking at the drawing.
"You drew this?" She glanced over at me turning the page before going back to the previous page.
"You aren't supposed to be looking at this stuff," I playfully rolled my eyes reaching to take the book from her but she held it out of my reach.
"I don't care. Why you don't want me to see it? This shit hard as fuck. A little creepy that it's me but the one with me and you." She skimmed through my book with a smile on her face.
She landed on a page where it was 2 hands intertwined inside of a car, it was something simple but it was probably my favorite one.
"Because none of that stuff is really good." I shrugged reaching in my purse and putting my speaker on the counter.
"Yes, it is." I felt her gaze on me but I simply went on my phone to connect to the speaker. "See this what I hate about you. You doubt yourself, it's no reason for you to be doing all that. You are so talented, Makayla. Do you know how many young black girls I know that are are tattoo artists and working on opening their own shop?" She asked me.
"Only me," I said.
"Exactly, only you. Because you're rare." She smiled at me.
"Okay, okay. Stop being cheesy. Let me get the stuff so I can start." I told her hitting shuffle on my playlist and walking towards my station so I could begin prepping.

We were now done with our tattoos. Now just sitting in the back together, she laid with her head on my lap while I looked down at her.
