"Good morning, bitch!" 

"Mmmngh, five more minutes..." I groaned, rolling onto my stomach. I wasn't granted a single moment of solitude, Noah's jarring voice far too cheerful for this early in the morning. 

"Not a chance! It's your special day!" Noah shouted gleefully, "We have to go and come back before anybody else wakes up!"

"God," I whined dramatically, not willing to get out of bed. However Noah snatched the blankets off of me, which made me gasp and jut up in surprise. "Noah!" I exclaimed, crossing my arms over my body. I realize I'm wearing only Axel's t-shirt from last night. 

I don't remember putting it on, but it's sweet that he must have dressed me. 

I'm assuming since he's not here, he must have snuck back to his own bedroom after we... 

As much as I'd liked to have woken up to his beautiful face this morning, I'm glad he made an escape because otherwise Noah would've seen us together. Regardless, it's still apparent that he was with me because of the way that I look. 

"Somebody got some dick last night," Noah eyed me up and down. Analyzing the sheets that were messy and clearly used, she rolled her eyes. "Come on, Kameron! Get dressed!"

"What for?" I asked with annoyance, getting off of the mattress and shivering from the cold on my bare feet. I snatched my pants off of the ground and slid them on my legs that were bare of any clothing. My lower back is sore, but I tried not to let my mind wander to the events of last night. 

"Um, hello? Our tattoos. Don't tell me you're backing out already."

"Gosh, Noah... You weren't serious about that, were you?"

"Of course I'm serious!" She scoffed. Her ashy blonde hair is let loose, straight at the top and slight waves towards the bottom. She's wearing a pair of black leggings and white socks with UGG boots, and on top she has a gray sweater that's cropped. "Put on some clothes and let's go!"

I hestiated, but I know Noah isn't going to let me get off so easy. I've already agreed to completing everything on the agenda of hers, but this item isn't one that I thought would actually occur. Getting a tattoo... I've always thought that might be interesting but I can't decide on what I should get. 

Regardless, I have my best friend hovering over me, incessantly shouting about going to the tattoo shop so I'd better buck up and go. At the very least, I'll back out of the tattoo once we're there. For now, I'll go along with it. 

If I do get a tattoo though, there's only one thing I can think of getting. 

But I don't know why that'd cross my mind. Gosh, that would be crazy. 

I shook off the thoughts in my head and I shrugged with defeat. "Fine..." I muttered, rolling my eyes. 

"Yay!" Noah squealed. Then she started rummaging through my suitcase to get me some clothes. 

But I know it will be better if I get undressed on my own. The events of last night are painted very apparently on my body. Trying to play things off nonchalantly, I said, "Noah, relax. I can get ready on my own, so why don't you wait outside for me?"

She raised an eyebrow, instantly calling me out. "Since when have you been weird about getting changed in front of me?"

I blushed. She's totally caught me. I know that if I take my clothes off, all of the marks and hickeys that Axel left behind on my skin will be revealed.
