Under My Skin

~ Chapter Five ~

"Call Me."

We sat on our boards in a circle facing eachother. Making jokes splashing water and just enjoying everyones presence. "Who were you on the phone with this morning Em?" Scor questioned everyone turning their attentions to me.

"Uhm the guy from the gas station called me, Justin, asking me to be his date to the Rave..." I slightly smiled. I heard a scoff from Kieran. "No." He told me not even bothering to look me in the eyes.

"Thanks for the option but I can make my own choices." I snapped at him. "It wasn't a fucking option it was a demand. You aren't going to the rave with him. End of discussion." He ran his veiny hands through his wet hair.

"I don't take orders from you." His head snapped my way. "I was told to keep you and the girls safe and I'm not gonna let that go just so you can fuck an adult man at a college rave." His fiery demeanor made me realize he was jealous.

"Maybe you're just upset because you wish it were you being my date." Lias eyes widened at my words. Stifled down giggles coming from the girls. "I'm not doing this with you, I have an appointment today at a tattoo parlor and I need to get going." He tried swimming off alone only for the rest of us following and bugging him with questions.

"At least let one of us come with you." Bella begged. "Ugh fine!" Kieran caved in. He looked at the 5 of us. "Scor and Em you come with me, the rest of you go back to the hotel room and don't leave until we're back." Kieran ordered them. And by my surprise they obeyed like trained dogs.

Kieran led us down a couple streets after grabbing our things. We finally made it to the front of a tattoo parlor. It had a rustic vibe to it and tons of motorcycles lined out front. The door rang as Kieran opened it. "Hey I've got an appointment for a full neck sleeve and my torso." He informed the lady up front. She grinned her eyes roaming down Kies body making my skin crawl.

I scrunched up my nose at her as if I smelt something shitty. "There's this thing called deodorant babes you should try it." I insulted. She self consciously sniffed her shirt and excused herself to the restroom.

"Someone's feeling bold today." Scor commented. "But are you bold enough to get a tattoo?" Kieran arched his eyebrow down at me. I hesitated to answer. I had never gotten a tattoo before. I had a bellybutton piercing and multiple other piercings in my ears but a tattoo.

That's a whole different story.

"Someone's scared." Kie chuckled. "Am not." I countered. "Prove it then." He stepped closer. "I'll get 3." My eyes widened at my own words. What the fuck did I just get myself into.

"Great, excuse me sir! My friend here's interested in getting a couple tattoos we've got the money for it." He winked at me as he leaned on the counter. "Sure let me just set up." He walked off to a corner cleaning off his needles.

"Pick out your designs princess." He handed me a book. Scorpius leaned over my shoulder helping me pick what and where. "She'll go after you, let's get started pretty boy." The buff man told us.

Kieran walked off to his station Scor and I following close behind and sitting beside him. Kie laid on his back pointing his chin up. I sat on the soft leathery fabric beside his still body. He began tattooing his neck, Kieran's eyes shutting so he wouldn't move.

His hand gripped onto my harshly. As the tattoo gun continued on throughout the skin of his neck making his grip on my hand only intensified.

Scorpius was off by the side of us leaning on the wall and glaring at Kieran. He didn't think I noticed but I did. We're they in an argument?

After an hour Kieran's neck tattoo had been finished. It was a lotus flower on his throat the vines traveling down his shoulders to his already tattooed arms. Next was the dragon up his rib cage. Which was equally just as painful as the neck.
