Nine

I woke up and got dressed into a black muscle tank that had a skull cutout on the back, a pair of black skinny jeans, a black bandeau, and a pair of black vans. I french-braided my hair on both sides and did a simple black eyeliner and covered up my acne scars and anywhere I break out with a bit of concealer.

I walked downstairs to my kitchen and I instantly popped in a pop tart and once it was out, I grabbed it and ate it on my way to the bathroom and brushed my teeth immediately. I put some deodorant and perfume and headed out.

I drove to the tattoo place and entered. I instantly took a seat near the tattooing station. A doorbell chimed meaning a customer just walked in.

"Lauren!" I was embraced I'm a loving hug. "I've missed you, how are you?" He asked.

"I've missed you too ya little bum, and I've been good as well how about you?" I asked the little leprechaun.

"Good good, so where's luke?" Niall asked looking around for the Australian lad.

"Oh, I'm covering for him today." I said smiling. His face lit up into a bright grin. I patted the chair in front of me indicating for him to sit on. He sat down still grinning at me.

"What?" I asked feeling a bit self conscious since he was staring at me.

"Nothing, just you are tattooing me and that's amazing!" Niall said ecstatic practically bouncing up and down in his seat. I giggled at his cuteness.

I was about to pull out the tattoo handbook when Niall stopped me. "I know what I want it's okay you don't need to pull that out." He said assuringly.

I mentally thanked him because, most customers take ages to know what tattoo they want. "So, what do you have in mind?" I asked.

"I want a little moon on my wrist not colored in of course..heh." He said wanting to continue but embarrassed to.

"Hey, we would have a matching tattoo if you got the moon!" I said grinning. "Really? Oh my god I want to get that for sure then." He said excited.

"Now what's the other tattoo you had in mind but too embarrassed to say?" I asked.

"Well you see, I'd like to get a rose, on my other arm. I would only like the flower and the leaves no stem." He explained.

"Okay I understand. I'm going to quickly sketch out and I'll show it to you and see if you'll like it." I said taking out my notebook and a pen. He nodded and waited patiently.

Once I was finished with my sketch which only took about five minutes, I held it up to show him. He bobbed his head up and down smiling.

I prepared the needle and placed the sketch on his arm to transfer the drawing. I noticed he was holding in the pain so I decided to ease it a bit.

"So, may I ask why you want to get a rose and a moon?" I asked him curiously.

"Well, the rose and the moon kind of go along with the same idea. The moon stands for my love for the night. I met someone at night and we have gotten so close and I believe I'm honestly falling for her. Every time she messages me its this feeling I can't contain inside of me. And its so obvious to the boys that I quite fancy this girl." Niall explained seeming a bit more relaxed.

I nodded for him to continue. "As for the rose well, I want to get it because, I believe the girl I met is the one for me and when we meet, I will sooner or later come back in and get it colored in her favorite color to show her my love for her.." He explained with the pink tint rushing up to his cheeks.

"Well, whoever it is, she's one lucky girl because, guys like you are so hard to find in this world. She must be truly beautiful and I wish you the best of luck with her." I said truthfully and gave him a smile. I had to admit a was a bit jealous of this girl but, as long as he's happy. I'm happy.

I looked down and admired my work. I showed Niall before I placed tape over the tattoo to protect it from getting infection.

"It looks sick thank you so much!" Niall said and was about to pull out a hundred but I stopped him and smiled at him. "Its on the house." I said smiling.

"No, I can't leave you empty handed. Let me take you out or something." Niall said refusing to leave me without a penny.

"Oh no its fine, the paps will probably assume something and I don't want to ruin your career over me." I said.

"Please, even if we do get caught by the paps, they'll take pictures of a beautiful girl." Niall said and threw in a wink.

He grabbed my hand and we rushed out of the tattoo parlor. He opened my side of his car and soon after he got in. "What about my car?" I asked worried they might tow my car.

"Pfft, you're fine. You'll be staying with me for the night if you don't mind?" He asked with a hopeful glint.

"If I'm not a bother then yes I'll stay." I said internally fangirling. How have I not lost my chill yet?

He took me to an ice cream parlor. He rushed over before I could even open the door and opened it for me. I thanked him quietly and he opened up the door to the parlor and we entered.

Behind the counter was a middle aged woman most likely in her 50s with some gray hairs starting from her roots mixed in with some brown. "Hello, what can I get for you?" She asked giving a heart warming smile.

"Do you have mint chocolate chip?" I asked. She nodded and put it in a cup for me. "Can I have one scoop of cookie dough, a scoop of vanilla, and a scoop of mint?" Niall asked her. Damn, this boy eats good.. I giggled to myself and he heard.

"What?" He asked. "Nothing, you eat so much." I said giggling. He started blushing.

"How much?" I asked the lady who I came to know as Sally. I was pulling out my money and Niall's hand stopped me. "No, I invited you and I wouldn't be much of a gentleman if you paid." Niall said looking me in the eye.

"Oh hush, its on the house babes. You guys are such a cute and lovely couple." Sally gushed at us.

"Aw thank you, if you'd like come sit with us?" I asked. She shook her head no. Niall put in a $50 tip. Sally thanked him for it.

We sat there and just got to know each other better. Niall aimed the spoon for his mouth and didn't notice he got a little bit on the corner of his lips.

I reached over and got close to his face and whispered, "You got a little something right here." As I wiped off the ice cream off with my thumb and licked it off.

He seemed so nervous and when I pulled back his breath hitched a bit. However, he sighed in relie and thanked me.

"So, how about we go and hang at my flat now?" Niall said. I nodded eagerly knowing a fun night awaits.

"Will the boys be there?" I asked nervously.

"Yes and don't kind them if they bother you." He said looking at me smiling before opening the psssenger door and closing it after I climbed in.

Oh boy this night will definitely be fun...
