“Hey Louis do you remember that show Jimmy Neutron?” Natalia called from across the record shop.
“There is no need to shout Natalia what if a customer came in?” Louis said flipping through a magazine at the register. She came skipping over and hopped up to sit on the counter.
“Well do you remember the show or not?” He let out a sigh and nodded his head.
“When I was younger I was basically a carbon copy of that one girl Cindy who Jimmy liked. I was super bossy and a know-it-all and I fought with boys all the time.” She started swinging her legs.
“All I want in life is to find my Jimmy.” Natalia looked thoughtful for a moment before continuing “Even if it is Jimmy John’s sandwiches.” That earned a small chuckle from Louis.
“What is up with you, you’re all serious it’s weird. You don’t fight with me or tell jokes and I don’t like it one bit.” Natalia said with her arms crossed.
He just shrugged.
“Stop shrugging you know I hate it.” The door to the shop chimed signaling a customer.
“Hey babe I’m here!” Louis frowned before whispering “More than you hate being called babe?”
“Luke! I thought you weren’t coming until three?” She kissed her boyfriend on the cheek “And you know how I don’t like being called that.”
“But I think it suits you.” He pulled her in for a kiss but she leaned out of it “Feisty I like it.” He nodded towards Louis with barely any enthusiasm. “I can only stay for a few minutes but I wanted to show you my new tattoo I got.” Natalia smiled but it looked more like a grimace.
“What does that make twenty seven now?” Louis asked looking at Natalia with a smirk.
“See it’s a bird and below it, it says ‘don’t follow the herd’ deep right?” Louis was barely holding in his laughter as Natalia’s face contorted in confusion.
“Isn’t it a flock of birds? Sheep are in herds.” She asked.
“That’s the point, anyways I’ve got to go head to a football match between the boys and some wannabee’s.” He turned to Louis “Maybe you could come sometime if you’re not chicken.” With that he left but not before kissing Natalia once more.
Louis burst out into laughter. It was no secret that Natalia hated meaningless tattoos.
“Shut your trap Tomlinson or I will.”
