You're The Only One

"I'm scared" I said.

"It's not that bad" Khalif told me.

"Of course, you have like a million of them." I said.

"Look, when we go in here don't be acting scared and shit" he laughed.

Today, I was getting my first tattoo. I really didn't want to get one, but Khalif convinced me. How bad can it be?

He held my hand as we walked in the shop.

"Aye, Swae! Where you been?!" a girl said as she seen him. "Swae?" I said.

"Yeah, it's a nickname" he said.

"Shit, I ain't been over here in a minute"

"You getting a new tattoo?"

"Nah, but my girl getting one" he said putting his hand on my shoulder.

"Hey, I'm Kayla" she introduced herself.

"I'm Kali" I smiled.

"What you getting?"

"A quote"

"Okay, you can sit in my chair." she told me. She put on her latex gloves. "What's the quote?"

"Don't forget to love yourself."

She was about to get started. "Where you getting it?"

"Right here" I said pointing around my shoulder.

She nodded her head and I looked at Khalif. He was taking pictures of me.

"Can you stop?"

"No"

"Hold your shirt like this" she said showing me how to do it.

I did as she said and she got started.

10 minutes in and it was already hurting like hell. Khalif was over there laughing at me. I should really get up and punch this nigga.

"You almost done" she said.

"Damn" I managed to say.

After a bit more pain, it was finished.

"I like it" Khalif said.

"After all that, you better love it" I said pulling money out my purse. "How much?"

"$30" she said.

Khalif and I began walking out the door.

"Want me to drive?" I asked.

"I mean you can" he hopped in the front seat.

I got in the car and turned on Tonight (Best You Ever Had) by John Legend. I began singing and Khalif looked at me.
