"How are things going with Catalina?" Mamma watches me try to finish my breakfast as fast as I can.
"Good. We're just keeping our relationship a secret for now." I keep my eyes on the food in front of me as I chew and swallow.
"Why? And why are you eating so fast?" Papa gives me a judgmental look.
"It's a long story that has to do with her ex, but I'll explain another time." I attempt to chug my coffee, but I immediately stop when it burns my throat.
"Azrael, slow down. The food isn't going anywhere." Mamma stares at me in horror. "You're going to get sick. Stop it."
"Azrael." Papa gives me a familiar intimidating look that he used to give me when I misbehaved as a child.
"I need to eat well before leaving. I have an appointment in a few minutes." I get up prepared to leave now that my plate is close to empty.
"An appointment for what?" Mamma and papa stare at me in concern and confusion.
"Tattoo." Is all I say as I go to get my car keys and shoes.
"I'll be back later. Enjoy your meal. I love you both." I tell them, not letting them say another word as I head out the door.
In a matter of minutes, I arrive to the tattoo place. I'm quite excited. It's the first time I am getting a tattoo. I've always wanted one, but I've never had a reason to get one. Now I do.
Just last night right after sharing a few kisses and several hours of intense intimacy with the love of my life, an incredible idea came to mind. I was unable to get it out of my mind all night and I loved it too much to forget it, so here I am.
The guy doing the tattoo warned that it would hurt because of the place on my body where I am getting it done. That doesn't bother me at all, but he also advised me to eat well before coming in order to prevent dizziness and some other issues.
I already love what I am getting done and it's not even inked on me yet. I am especially excited to see everyone's reactions whether they are positive or not.
"Silas, welcome." The tall and buff guy greets me when I enter the place.
Seeing how cool it is in here, I trust him completely. He also has done Ace's tattoos in the past and they came out great, so I have faith in him.

I enter the Bianchi household to be greeted by Ace, Lucia, and Dahlia.
"What is it that you wanted to show us?" Lucia questions when seeing the big, excited smile on my face.
Ace stares at me in suspicion. It is like he is trying to read my mind to figure out the purpose of my visit before I can say it.
"I got a tattoo." I inform them, delaying telling them and demonstrating what it is for a little while longer.
