Heaven POV

"Where the hell is we going, girl?" Keisha asked in annoyance as she stopped in the middle of the forest huffing and puffing, I asked her to come out here with me to find the tattoo shop of a young man's that Angelic got a tattoo at when he was 15, months apart she was excited, so she came with and now I think we lost

"A tattoo shop, it's around here somewhere, Angelic said it was way past the little hut that the white man had with his friends." I said as I moved a huge leaf from in front of my path

"We straight killed that man friends, I mean I know he tried to kill us but damn!" Keisha said as I laughed

"Yeah, kill or be killed, he been looking for us, but we got him before he got us and over something we could've talked about, we should go raid the damn hut again and take more shit from him they been living lavish down here." I said as Keisha laughed

"You are sounding more like me every day, why we going to this tattoo shop, anyway?"

"I just want to see what it looks like, you ever notice we talk about so much in our childhood that seems to be fading away especially the people because the older men on this island are basically instinct until they need food or water than we see them but they haven't helped, the get togethers, family reunions a little far from the beach, do you remember the last time we had a whole get together like with everyone not just with our little circle?" I asked as I stopped in my tracks because I think I seen what we came down here for and I smiled at a young Angelic, innocent and happy to get a tattoo

"It's been a minute, I haven't seen the older ladies, only Savannah self, they talk about protection and love but only loving and protecting they selves." Keshia said as she paused with me

"It's real, let's go." I said as I grabbed her hand and we ran to the front entrance of course it wasn't fancy, but it had a calming surrounding and atmosphere, palm trees, sand on the floor, leaf made chairs that were actually stable, it smelled of incense and lavender, all plants growing inside the tattoo shop, it looked amazing

"Hello." Keisha said because it wasn't a door, it was a beaded door like the one on the dance hall, I love beaded anything it is so cute and it makes everything feel like a party, I then giggled the beads, and an old man came to the front as we backed back

"Angelic, Leonardo, Michael, is that you?" He asked as he then saw us and put his glasses on that was sitting on one of the leaf chairs as me and Keisha just stared at him, and he seen us

"Heaven, Keisha, come here for tattoo?" He asked as me and Keisha nodded, I was intrigued and excited, how did this man know are names, I've never seen him not once in my life, but he knows the boys and my brother, he must have never come out of this tattoo shop because my brother died

"Yes." I said as he waved us in and went to the back of the tattoo shop, I guess for equipment, we stepped in and looked around and sat next to each other in the leaf chairs that were available, I just can imagine a 15-year-old Angelic coming down here for a tattoo
