Part 3

I woke up to the repeated sound of banging on my door I groaned as I got out my bed "I'm coming!" But the banging continued until I opened the door to see Dustin "finally! Come on!" I didn't get the chance to react as Dustin dragged me into his room sitting down next to the radio "Suzie meet Lu, Lu meet Suzie!" My eyes widen as I realized that this was the girl Dustin liked! "Hi Suzie it's so nice to meet you!" Suddenly a young girls voice came through sounding cheerful "hi! It's nice to meet you too, Dusty buns told me so much about you" I smiled and giggled a bit at the nickname "I've heard about you too Suzie, im glad my brother has you i hope you two treat each other well" Suzie giggled "I promise Lu, thank you" Dustin smiled nodding in agreement "Same thanks Lu" i got up ruffling his hair "im going to go to work soon okay? i'll drop you off with the gang so get ready and i'll make you breakfast" Dustin nodded as Suzie bidded me farewell as did i. I made a simple breakfast for Dustin since i need some time to get ready, after i served the breakfast i called him to eat as i walked into my room to take a shower and my morning routine. A few minutes later after preparing i put on my makeup going for a simple look not feeling to do much.

After the makeup i looked at the time seeing time is almost out so i rushed to my closet throwing clothes around finally choosing something and wearing it

I grabbed my keys and my tote bag before running out "Dusty are you done?" he was busy talking to Suzie so of course he wasnt done. i groaned "Dustin! eat! im going to be late c'mon!" he jumped a bit quickly saying goodbye to Suzie then scoffing down his food putting his dish in the sink. We then left the house getting into the car "Okay everyone is at the Diner where Riri work, make sure to check in with Steve time to time or me" Dustin then looked at me waving his hand "Lu calm down, we'll be fine its not like we havent been alone together before" I nodded "I know im just worried" he smiled "I know thanks Lu" i smiled ruffling his hair, soon we arrived outside the diner. We both got out going inside to see the gang at a booth. I ordered a coffee, I hugged everyone but once i got my coffee i said my goodbyes and rushed out almost falling down on the way out. As i got in and drove to the tattoo shop but as soon as i got out and parked i noticed a familier van near the shop but i shook it off walking inside. My boss/coworker Jacob came rushing to me a bit frantic "Lu! thank goodness you are here!" I looked at him with a raised brow "Whoa i know im late but no one is here yet and my appointment isnt until an hour" He shook his head "Lu, they came early and they have been waiting for you in your room" my eyes widen as i heard that "What?! shit i didnt get anything ready" Jacob nodded as he pushed me to the door of my tattoo room "Exactly so get in there, apologize and get your stuff ready quick!" he then left then i took a deep breath bursting into the room then closing starting to ramble "Hi! I am so sorry i am late and keeping you waiting, im Luka but you can call me Lu i'll be doing your tattoo just let me see the design as i get everything ready" i didnt look at my appointment yet as i was getting my stuff out and sanitizing everything but then i froze hearing a familier chuckle then i turned around to see the one and only Eddie Munson "Ed- i mean Munson? what are you doing here?" He smirked looking into my eyes "You almost called me by my first name Lu" A small blush crept onto my face as i put my stuff in the corner rolling up my sleeves and putting on my gloves, he then looked me up and down of course i noticed it raising my brow "Munson i dont think what you want will be on me" He got up coming close to me smiling "But i want you.." he said softly, my face turned red as i looked away clearing my throat "I- i uhm a-anyways what do you want?" he sat back down on the tattoo chair as i sat by him "are you able to do two seperate tattoos?" i squinted as i thought for a moment "Mmmm dependsss, lets start on the first one" he nodded taking off his shirt i then quickly thought- WE MUST STAY FOCUS NO WONDERING NOW THIS IS STRICTLY PROFESSIONAL-. i cleared my throat once again "So..wheres this going to be?" he points at his chest a spot above his heart "I'd like a date tattooed on" i nodded grabbing black ink and my tools ready "In cursive? and what date?" he smiled once again "Sep 7, 86 and of course in cursive" I nodded once more starting the tattoo "So..mind telling me what happened on that date?" i didnt look at him wanting to focus "Well i met this girl, pretty sure you know her" I raised my brow "Oh really? who?" he watched me as i did my job "Lu Henderson" i froze but then shook my head feeling my cheeks burn "Munson, you are such an idiot" I said laughing a bit but after a few minutes i gave him a mirror. He looked at it seriously then sighing "Its missing something.." i cleaned a bit then looking at him "Really? what is it?" Eddie leaned his head back "maybe add a red heart?" he said with his smile that makes me melt. i laughed again "you are so cheesy.." I grabbed the red ink then started doing the heart after he decided it was perfect so i put pain relief gel on it and covered it with a plastic wrap cleaning up. As i was walking around cleaning then going to the front to grab the payment Eddie payed but looked at me seriously "Hey Lu?.." i nodded signalling him im listening he stayed quiet for a bit shaking his head giving me a smile "nevermind, see you soon Lu" i returned the smile watching him head out. Jacob playfully bumped me "Someone is in love~" i punched his arm shushing him.
