"Sin can you come downstairs? My brother is here" Kenny said standing in the door watching me put my shirt on.
"Okay" I said spraying myself twice before getting my phone and iPad off the charger. She grabbed my hand and I followed her to the living room.
"Nasir this is Sincere, Sincere... Nasir" She said rubbing my back.
"Nice to meet you bro" He said holding his hand out, wasn't expecting that.
"You too man" I said giving him a firm handshake.
"Sit down, let's talk" He said sitting down. "Go do Mel's hair Kenny, we can talk" He said looking up at her. She looked down at me and I nodded before she walked away.
I looked over seeing a confused look on his face. I sat back tapping my fingers on my phone.
"So what do you want to know" I asked seeing Kennys name pop up on my screen.
"How did y'all meet, she said that she wanted you to tell me. You don't have to tho if your not comfortable yet" He said folding his arms.
"No it's cool" I said looking down at my lap. "I was homeless and she saw me outside the grocery store. She bought me some food and snacks then promised to come check on me the next day. That night I was stabbed, I went into a coma, she was there the whole time. She put her number on a piece of paper in the bag the gave me and the hospital called her. I tried to tell her I would go back to the streets but she wasn't having it" I said looking up at him again.
"Oh you're definitely stuck bro, that's got we were raised. She's very protective of you, where were you stabbed" He asked sitting his phone on the table.
"My stomach" I shrugged lifting shirt making him frown.
"You strong as fuck, if I had somebody as nurturing as my sister taking care of me, I would be acting paralyzed" He said making me laugh.
"No need, she still acts like I'm in the hospital" I told him shaking my head.
"So Kenny told me you can paint, draw, and tattoo. Do you have any sketches" He asked leaning forward.
"Yeah" I sighed unlocking my iPad going to the sketch app. I gave him the iPad and sat back watching him.
"This is fucking perfect, we can start painting in a couple days" He said still swiping. "$500 a day for painting and you can keep all of the money you make tattooing for the first 2 years" He said giving me the iPad back.
