3 o'clock appointment

--Just wanted to say that this is my first fanfic I have ever written and I'm pretty excited. I'll be updating either everyday or every other day. Hope you guys like it!

Amber's P.O.V

Today seemed to be dragging on for ages. I looked up at the clock and realized that is was 2:30. That means I had 30 minutes to get set up for my 3 o'clock appointment. I was about 20 minutes into getting set up when I heard the door of the parlor ring. I got up from my chair and walked out to the front desk only to be met with a pair of gorgeous brown eyes. "Hello." said the very tall tattooed man. "Hey, can I help you?" I asked him nicely. "I'm here for an appointment." he answered back. I checked through the list of clients that I had today and stopped at the one that was for 3:00. "Austin Carlile?" I asked him. "Yep, that's me alright," he said with a small laugh. "What's your name?" "Amber." I replied. God, he was so adorable. "Okay then, follow me and I'll get everything set up so I can start your tattoo." I said with a smile.

As we walked into my work space I quickly got finished setting up. "So what are you looking to get today?" I asked him as he got settled into the chair. "I think I just want a small heart on my hand." He told me. And with that I started tattooing the heart. "Is there a certain meaning behind this tattoo?" "It's for my mom that passed away when I was 17." He said sadly. "If you don't mind, may I ask how she passed?" I asked him with sympathy in my voice. "She had a heart condition called Marfan syndrome," He told me. "I have it also." "I'm sorry to hear that." I said to Austin. "It's okay, my fans and band members make it a lot easier to deal with." He said with a smile.

I was cleaning up his tattoo when he said to me,"You know, you're very beautiful." "Thank you." I said as my cheeks grew red. "I know I don't really know you, but I was wondering if you would want to get a coffee or lunch sometime?" Austin asked me with hope in his eyes. "That would be great." I replied with a smile on my face. "Awesome! What's your number?" He asked. I had finished telling him my phone number when I noticed him look at the clock. "Oh shit, I'm gonna be late for sound check." He whispered to himself. "I gotta go, but I'll see you later Amber, bye!" He said with a smile. "Goodbye!" I replied. Little did I know that meeting him was going to change my life forever.
