----------------------

The doorbell rang, I was too god damn lazy to open it. Probably wasn't even for me anyway. So I just continued to sit there, on my laptop, looking at tattoo designs. I have big dreams of having my own tattoo parlour one day. Having loads of people come to me, to get something permanently designed on their bodies, from my creativity. 

I sat there looking at the pin up girl tattoo, I'd love to have a pin up girl, or even just to tattoo one onto someone. She was sitting with her back arched, putting her chest out. She had brunette hair that was wavy and her hands holding it half up, she was wearing white stockings, and black heels. From what I can make out from her outfit, she was a sailor. 

My attention turned back to who was at the door, I heard a male voice and my mum came through to the main door, following her- was my sisters friend. Drake. 

I've always had a bit of a soft spot for Drake if I'm being honest. I'm not sure if it's his unblemished skin, or his greeney-grey eyes or even the way he smiles. 

I turned around fully , to take a good look at him. I hadn't seen him in about two years, back when I was still in secondary school. Wow, I'm in college now, just started my second year. It's been a while. Drake looked at me, and kept his gaze locked onto mine, something about him seemed different. He'd lost some weight, and seemed a lot happier when I'd seen him last, probably because when he left, he looked really stressed out. 

Reality came back and Drake looked away, he was talking to my mum about something, but yet still kept looking at me through the corner of his eye. He smiled and walked over to me, he stood behind me and rested his hands on my shoulders, and then he spoke.

" Tattoo's ey? Well I'll be damned.. You any good at drawing or designing" He winked at me.

My heart fluttered a little and I'm sure I turned bright red, because I swear that wink was not casual! 

" Erm, yeah I guess so, here" I handed him my drawing pad. 

He opened it, and heard him take a breath in, he turned the pages slowly, and studied each of them in great detail. Pictures of butterflies, skulls, skeletons, people, animals even, filled the dull pages of my sketch pad. 

He lingered at the last of my drawings, this one had been quite recent. It was two koi fish, put together my only their scales, in the middle of the two, was a rose. And along the tail of one of the koi fish, it read a saying written in Latin. 

Drake smiled at the image, then gave me a puzzled look.

"What's the writing?" He asked.

"I'll tell you one day" I winked back. Wow, my confidence has just risen.

Drake looked down and let the biggest smile shine, his faint dimples appeared making me smile too. 

"You know, you're drawings are really good" he flicked through the book again.

' I was thinking of getting one of my own, I had a few idea's, maybe you can help me out" he suggested. 

By this time my mum had left, and it was just me and Drake left in the room. 

"Sure, let me know what you want, and I'll try put some stuff together for you" I smiled.

"But I'm going back to school not tomorrow, but the next day. Well college, it's kind of like a boarding school" I explained.

Drakes smile dropped for a second but then reappeared. 

"You have a blackberry right? Ray" He asked with a cunning smile on his face.
