NEW LOVE

4

After I finish my last tattoo I clean up my station I felt Danay eyes on me, I turn to meet her stare and I see lust in her eyes. Making me cringe she walks over to me touching my biceps making me uncomfortable I move my arm away.

"Don't be that way Paris I've had a crush on you since you've started working here" this conversation is making me hella uncomfortable "Danay I'm not looking for anything right now I'm focusing on myself plus I don't date co-workers" although I know that's a lie because I'd definitely date Catalaya. I see her face turn into a frown, well shit now I feel bad.

"Nay, you a beautiful woman I'm just not interested I would love to be friends" she looks at me with her hazel eyes and I see a spark seeing her lip twitch into a smile "Yeah I could definitely do friends" she says "how about we go out to this new club downtown Friday night after work?"

I think for a second I don't really like crowded places, don't like people rubbing against me but I need to put myself out there. "Yeah, sure we can go I'll bring my brothers." She gives me a big smile & hug me I stiffen in her embrace she notices and pulls away

"sorry I'm just excited I get to hang with you even if it's as friends." I look to see she's being genuine so I open my arms to give her an hug. We exchanged numbers & I made my way to my Uber on the drive home I'm hit with a flashback

Flashback
"You're nothing you're the reason your parents got into a car crash that night" it's true I say to myself if I would've been strong enough to stay they wouldn't have had to come get me. I feel pain, pain in my stomach in my head arms everywhere pain pain pain

The kicks and punches don't stop I feel blood dripping from my forehead I just want it to stop 'please mom and dad come help me it hurts' I rather this be me than my brothers..
End of flashback

A tear falls from eye I wipe it and hold my head up high as we're approaching our house I notice a car I haven't seen before it's a rather expensive one. I enter the house I hear moans ahh must me Patrick and Erica.

I go into my room shower and lay in my bed. Lately I've been feeling a void like something is missing I want more I need more.

I pull my phone out and google Catalaya and my word is she beautiful her long brown hair her full pink plush lips, her beautiful brown eyes I see sadness in her eyes. I don't understand how someone who's a millionaire and does what she loves for a living look so sad.

I found out she's actually from Puerto Rico she's an only child. 'I wonder how she'll react to my mini me' guess we will see Monday I don't want it to be a secret with her I don't want her to be uncomfortable and I'm tired of hiding myself.

I think back to that expensive car I seen in the driveway did Erica get a new car? I doze off thinking of the brown eye beauty.
