SKINNY lOVE

chapter 19

Walking into the shop I began thinking about what I could get. If I wanted one.

"Hey there Id like to get the name Chevei tattooed on my right hip. Thats spelt C-H-E-V-E-I." Nirvan said cooly shooting my stunned face a wickedly handsom smile.

The spiffy looking guy behind the counter laughed, "Alright Ill get Loren on that- any special lettering or size?"

Nirvan looked directly at me and told him, "Nope. Whatever works with Loren."

I punched him hard in the arm. "You cant! I wont let you!"

"Too late I am!"

Oh my God. "Whatever Nirvan. Do whatever."

"I will. Now tell him what you want." He said with a smile.

I rolled my eyes. "I dont want anything!"

"How bout this?" Nirvan asked showing me a sketch of an illuminati symbol.

After five minuets of back and forth reasoning I caved. "Fine."

Ten minuets later we were both called to the back to get inked. I laid down on my stomach. The cold leather sent shivers through me. "So an illuminati symbol huh?" My tattoo artist asked.

"Yeeup. Nirvan made me and it looked nice so why not i guess." I studdered realizing I was ranting.

"Alright," he let out a chuckle, "Here we go."

The pain was smaller than when Id carved my hips out. But differently painful because it was on the back of my neck. The artist was quick and I was done within a halve hour. It was all black thin lines.

As I went and looked in the mirror I thanked the artist and smiled. It was amazing. I had no regrets on this one.

I had done a Henna heart on the top of my inner thumb. Id really liked it so i took a pin and pressed the ink into my own skin. It lasted months then it began to fade. "Can you touch this old one up?"

He nodded and got her done.

Soon enough I met Nirvan at the counter and payed my part. He lifted his shirt and showed me my name and another few words. Leaning down I read it. 'Ill remember you forever ~Chevei'. Had I written that? It was in my handwritting.

"We were like 12 when wrote me this in my school year book. I had a big crush on you. And Id kept it all these years. Decided to get it permenantly remembered-even if you didnt." He smiled sadly.

I just gave him a hug, and we left.
