Sunshine peaks through the window, shining right over me. I open my eyes and roll over, rolling straight into a sleeping Colby.

He lets out a small grunt and rolls onto his stomach, tucking his arms under his pillow. I admire his beautiful resting face as he sleeps.

The way his lashes hit his cheeks and the way his nose twitches cutely. His lips curve into a small smile in his sleep. I smile and press my mouth to his bare shoulder, leaving a kiss there.

Standing, I run my fingers through my hair as I make my way into the bathroom. I do my business and brush my hair, as well as my teeth. I slip on a pair of sweats under one of Colby's shirt. Colby is still a sleeping when I walk out, except now he is cuddling a pillow.

I snap a quick picture and kiss his head a final time before heading downstairs.

"Mornin', Lee." Corey yawns from the living room.

"Morning," I reply.

I have to be at the studio in two hours, so I have an hour and a half to relax. I make myself a bowl of cereal and sit down at the bar.

"Yo, Lee!" Jake yells, running into the kitchen. "Do you think we could do a video at your studio today?"

"I think there's currently a two hour break between appointments. What do you want to do?" I lean against the countertop.

"It's a surprise." He grins.

"That's fine. I can make it so we don't have walk ins today. The free time should be noon if everything goes to plan." I say and he nods, running back to wherever he came from.

I continue eating my cereal until Sam comes downstairs. "Colby not awake?" he asks, making his own bowl of cereal.

"He wasn't when I came down, no." I shake my head.

"Okay. We just need to finalize the plan for this weeks video." he says. "Speaking of, did Jake ask if we could film at your studio?"

"Yeah. Just before you came in. He didn't say anyone else was coming. All he said was 'it's a surprise'." I laugh.

"So I just bought a $30 tattoo kit on ebay." Jake begins, holding a small box in his hand.

"No you didn't." I laugh, shaking my head.

"Why do you want to do this?" Colby asks from behind the camera.

"Content,"

"Jake, this setup is absolute shit." I hold up the pedal-activated tattoo gun. "Evie, would you tattoo yourself with this?" I ask one of my employees.

She scoffs and laughs. "I wouldn't tattoo my enemy with that if you gave me a million dollars."

I set the gun up with the needles and everything. "Jake, I'm not letting you use this ink. I'll pay you back. You're using my ink." I hold up the orange bottle that has a warning on it. "It literally says not to tattoo with."

After Sam and Colby choose their designs and I give them a quick lesson on the fake skin that came with the kit.

Colby begins tattooing first. "What was the weirdest thing you've ever tattooed on someone?" Jake asks.

"I once tattooed a jellybean on a man's nipple." I laugh loudly.

"Never have I ever made out with three or more girls, or guys, in one day." Corey says.

We're sitting in the living room, playing Never Have I ever, like we did at the old traphouse. Colby and Sam put their fingers down and so do I.

"You've made out with three guys?!" Colby jokingly yells.
