I dipped the needle into the black ink and began to trace over the outline of the tattoo. I had 3 appointments booked today and I was starting number 2. After my incident with Rih, I felt like a jealous girlfriend.
I hated the sight of her with another person. I wanted her to wait for me to end things with Kae. I wanted her to stay innocent and rely on me to help her with things. I hated the person she was becoming, and I hated how I felt about her, and I hated this entire situation.
I know it was selfish of me to feel this way, but I couldn't help it. I turn into a complete bitch when I think about her.
".. So anyways, girl! I swear if Jamal doesn't make a full recovery I'm done with Empire." Raquel said as I finished the final shading of her tattoo.
"Mhm." I hummed, not paying much attention.
"Like really, why would they kill off everyone's favorite brother? Should've killed Hakeem's confused and dumbass. I would be fine if Lucious dies. I couldn't stand his snake ass." Raquel shook her head.
I wiped off the tattoo. "All done," I said. I stood up and helped her to her feet. She looked at the tattoo in the mirror.
"Wow." She breathed. "This looks great. You never disappoint."
"Alright, pay Cameron at the front desk." I began cleaning up my ink and sanitizing my needles.
Raquel nodded, gave me a hug, and walked out of my room.
My next appointment was tonight around 6 and I had about 2 hours to spare. I grabbed my keys and left the studio.
Maybe if I spoke with Rih alone, I'd be able to fix our friendship. She'd understand that I was slightly jealous and hated seeing her pretend to be someone she wasn't.
It only took ten minutes to get to her hotel building, and when I pulled up, I saw her and Chris putting bags into the trunk of Thomas' vehicle. There were paparazzi standing a decent distance away snapping pictures not so discreetly.
I parked my car across the street and sat there for a moment. I contemplated if I should get out or drive away before she saw me. I shook my head and I got out of my car.
