Chapter 18
The pain shot through my entire arm and I gripped Hunters hand as tight as I possibly could! "Ow!" I complained and Hunter rolled his eyes along with the tattoo guy. I guess they were getting really annoyed with me constantly yelling.
"Zoe just shut up. Look, he's already done with the 'U'," Hunter announced like it was the greatest thing ever!
Since I had to get the tattoo to finish the mark, Hunter decided we would go right away and of course his name had to have six letters! And of course Hunter had to tell the guy to make it look pretty! So he was decorating each letter with vines after he drew them.
"I can't take it anymore! Can't we just shorten your name to Hunt?" I asked, giving him my puppy dog look.
"Nope sunshine this is for making me say those things yesterday while you recorded it."
"Thanks because you ripped my teddy bear!"
We heard a chuckle next to us an I turned my head to give the tattoo guy an evil stare.
"At least I sewed it back up for you," Hunter muttered and I squeezed his hand tighter when the guy began the 'N'.
~•~
"See, it looks great," Hunter smiled down at my arm which was red and stained with his name.
"Yeah because it's your name that's written on my skin," I grumbled, blowing against it to hopefully cool off the burning sensation.
"Hey, at least we don't have to worry about my father anymore."
"Yeah," I smiled, reaching over to kiss his cheek as he drove down the road and back towards the house where I told Casey, Cole and the guys to wait so we can tell them the great news.
I held into Hunters hand as we walked through the door to find my brothers, Chris, Tristen, Casey, Tyler and two other guys who I did not know.
"We have some news," I began.
"No duh why do you think we're here?" I thwacked the back of Tristens head at his remark before sitting on Hunters lap next to Casey on the couch.
"Where's Cole?" I asked and she gave me a smile that said she was hiding pain.
"He said he had to do something and for me to tell him the news when I get back home." I rubbed her shoulder and she gave me a questioning look, but I knew she was hiding the hurt that she felt when he couldn't be next to her.
"Well, I finally marked Zoe," Hunter breathed, and all the guys began to clap except for Casey who gave me a confused glare.
"What do you mean mark?" she asked, and I completely forgot that she didn't know about the gang crap yet.
"Uhm," I stuttered, and Hunter looked between us before finally realizing that Casey didn't know anything. He cursed under his breath.
"Anyways," Chris clapped his hands together, pointing towards the two strange men that I still did not be introduced to yet. "This is Alex and Tony, they're friends of mine and are also in the gang."
"GANG?" Casey screeched, and Tyler slapped the back of Chris's head roughly. "WHAT THE FUCK ARE THEY TALKING ABOUT ZOE?"
"Look, just relax an let me explain," I began, standing up to hold her shoulders.
"NO! I AM NOT GOING TO RELAX LANDERSON! WHAT ARE THEY TALKING ABOUT A GANG? IS HUNTER IN A GANG? ARE YOU IN A GAN-"
I covered her mouth with my hand to shut her up, but she licked my skin and I stuck up my nose, whipping my hand away to wipe the spit away.
