~Michael's pov~
"Thank you again, Matt!"
"It's mike"
My customer blushed slightly and muttered a sorry before leaving the shop.
I rolled my eyes and went back to my room in the back to clean up for the next appointment. Picking up the clipboard with the info, I saw that it was two people. A sigh escaped my lips while I placed new sanitary paper on the table.
Once I finished I headed towards the front desk again. I had forty five minutes until my next appointment.
"Clifford!" I turned to see Ed carrying a couple of bags from a restaurant. "Help me out would ya"
I took half of the bags and we placed them on the desk. Ed started taking all the boxes and cutlery out. As I reached out to grab a box, Eds hand slapped mine away.
"Oi! Wait a damn minute, mike" He shook his head and opened all the boxes.
"Okay mom"
Ed rolled his eyes "Malik get out here I brought food!" Zayn appeared from the back at the sound of Eds voice.
Everyone grabbed a bit of everything and sat on the couches. It was raining outside. There was a low drumming on the roof. It was calming. I quite liked watching the raindrops roll down the window front.
"Is Bobbi working today?"
"Hm?"
Zayn sighed "I asked if Bobbi was working"
"Oh" I took a bite of my orange chicken "Nah she has the day off. She's at home watching the office" A small smile spread across my lips. Both of the guys started chuckling.
"What?"
They glanced at each other. "It's nothing, mate"
Just then the door opened and two people rushed in. One of them shook off an umbrella then closed it, leaning it against the coat hanger.
"Hi.. um we have an appointment, and I know we're early but we didn't have anything else to do..." the girl was fiddling with her fingers and I still had food in my mouth. After a moment of silence she spoke up again. "I hope that's alright that we're here early...? We made an appointment with um.." She looked to the guy.
"Mike. We made an appointment with Mike" The guy spoke up.
Ed cleared his throat, making me jump from my seat. "Oh uh yeah that's fine! Uhh let me um put this up and I'll take you guys back" I smiled awkwardly.

I sterilized the needles as...
"Wait what's your names again?"
The man shifted in his seat "I'm Liam, and this is Sophia" They both send loving looks to each other.
I continued setting up as they looked around my little "office"
This time Sophia spoke "We're engaged as you can see" She held her left hand up to reveal a rather large engagement ring while giggling. Liam gazed at her with lovesick eyes.
Gross
"Mhm so uh yeah. What do you want tattooed?" I scratched my head and avoided eye contact.
"So we wanted a couple tattoo on our hands" Liam pointed the the outside of his left pinkie "I was gonna get the king of hearts symbol and Soph is gonna get the queen of hearts symbol" His face beamed with pride at his, or so he thought, creative idea.
"Just black or black and red?"
"Black letter with a red heart"
Of course. This is so typical. and uhg. I hate couples tattoos. Like... You don't know what's gonna happen and they're so cliché. I mentally rolled my eyes and lightly grasped Sophia's left hand and put the inky gun to it. Her other hand quickly grasped Liam's.
