"H-hey," I smiled faking it a tiny bit. Chloe was cheerful as always, and of course, Andrei was laid back, but Vinnie seemed different.

"You guys are everywhere, aren't you?" I awkwardly smiled before beginning to introduce Carma.

"Andrei, Chloe, Vinnie, and...Sorry, I don't know your name, but this is Carma. Carma meet Andrei, Chloe, Vinnie, and-"

"Danica." Vinnie's girl spat out before looking away with her hands crossed.

The group greeted Carma and she greeted them back. I wasn't sure how he continued to pop up at random places, but, I wasn't sure I needed to see him after last night.

"So, what're you girls up to for the rest of the day?" Andrei asked Me and Carma.

Carma wasn't very shy at all. She answered very quickly, and it seems that's her had an eye for Andrei.

"We're just shopping and trying to rid her hangover." Carma blurted out before regretting telling all my business.

"Hangover?" Chloe buds into the conversation after getting bored from looking at all the dresses beside us.

Carma quickly covered her mouth from blabbering and looked at me before mouthing "sorry".

"I had a party by myself last night...and I don't remember much other than this headache that won't leave me alone. But I'm not dizzy anymore, so thank god for that." I gently smiled before rubbing the back of my neck.

Everyone looked surprised, but Vinnie didn't. His eyebrow still curved like everyone else's as if he was concerned about something.

"hey, I'm a bit hungry. Sorry to interrupt, but can we go dig into something? I'll start to get a headache." Danica whined, tugging on Vinnie's arm like a child.

The whole group gave her attention and agreed.

"Right, I guess we'll see you Monday?" Vinnie directed his attention to me.

"Of course!" I nodded my head before hugging Chloe and letting them walk off.

Carma gave me "what the hell?" Eye after they walked off, and of course I had to drop the details on her.

after the mall, I was finally able to rest my head. I knew it wasn't smart to do big brain stuff while still in a hangover, but you only live once right? I've made plenty of mistakes by relaxing and thinking by "you only live once".

As an example, while I and Carma were working late, we were left to close the shop down. But before we did, I had an idea. I thought about having a tattoo under my breasts. In addition, I sketched my design and places desired it to be.

So, Carma and I were dumb and young, and I let Carma give me a tattoo under my boobs. Again, I have only tattoos for my lover to see and that's one of them. I understand Carma saw it, but she's an exception. She's my spirit animal.

So as my tattoo design, it's "all eyes on me" with no uppercase letters. This to me means, that my soulmate's eyes were on me. I drew his eyes to me every time, and when we're to make love, he would still draw over my body. He would notice every piece of art on me. And when he got to see every piece of art on my body, hopefully, I could open up to him. Hopefully, he can understand all the pain I used to care about and how I express it.

As I was laying in my bed, remembering my dumbass actions, I somehow wanted to go on that balcony and see him again. I wondered if Danica was still with him.

I began to sit up from my bed and slide my hands down my face trying to take away these thoughts. My legs moved as if they were ready to stand up and shift to the balcony door, but my brain held me back from the through of my feelings.

"Gosh," I sighed laying back down and resting my eyes. When I see Vinnie again, will he still be as playful as he was today, Or will he return to his old ways?
