Marcel

Chapter 8

The next morning. My head is hurting real bad. My make-up is smudged all over my face. I look like a wreck. I look over at Ana who is staring at her phone.

"Good afternoon sunshine." Ana says.

"Afternoon?" I questioned.

"Yea. It's 2 in the afternoon."

"Ugh. God."

"So what happened with you and Niall last night?" I ask with a big smile.

"Last night was great. We talked a lot about ourselves. We we're thinking about making an appointment to get a tattoo today. And guess what?"

"What?!" I shout.

"He kissed me!" Ana says.

"Oh my god! That's awesome!!" I say.

"Yeah!"

"Do you remember anything from last night?" She asks.

"Umm.. Not really." I say.

"Oh. Well Marcel was dragging you to the car last night. It looked like something was wrong."

"I'm gonna call him right now."

I dial Marcel's number.

Ring

Ring

Ring

"Hello?" Marcel answers.

"Hi baby." I say.

"Hi." He says a little harsh.

"Um. What's wrong?"

"Last night was just not a good night for me. And it came up again this morning."

"What happened?"

"You were being so stubborn last night. You wouldn't listen to me and it go me mad."

"Well you don't control every single move that I make."

"But you need to understand that I'm doing what's best for you."

"I know but don't get crazy."

"Sorry honey. I just want to protect you."

"It's okay. I understand."

"Good. I'm not trying to make things hard for you."

"I know. So did you hear what Ana and Niall are gonna do today?"

"Yea. They're gonna get tattoos. Why?"

"I want to go with them. I want a tattoo."

"You sure?"

"Yea. I wanna conquer my fears."

"Okay then. I'll be there around 4 so we can go."

"Okay bye love you."

"Love you too."

I look over at Ana and her eyes are wide open.

"What?" I ask.

"You guys are crazy!"

"I know. Let's eat and get dressed."

We head downstairs and get something quick to eat. We had cereal with bananas. When we finished we eating. We got dressed. We both something comfortable. I put on a black tank top with gray joggers. Ana is wearing a blue t-shirt with black joggers. We brushed out teeth and head out the door.

I knock on Marcel's door. Anne answers.

"Hey honey!" Anne says to me.

"Hi Anne!" I say.

"Come in guys." Anne says.

Ana and I walk in and see Marcel and Niall sitting on the couch.

"Wow. I thought you guys were gonna take forever getting dressed." Marcel says.

"No. Let's go to the shop." Ana says.

"Okay. Mom we'll be right back."

"Where you guys going?" Anne asks.

Is Marcel gonna tell his mom?

"We're gonna go to a tattoo shop."

That answers the question.

"Okay. Please be careful."

Wow.

Niall sits in the passenger seat and Ana and I sit in the back seat. I talk to Ana about what tattoos we're gonna get.

"I wanna get a cross below my thumb." Ana says.

"That's beautiful." I say.

"What do you wanna get?" Ana asks.

"I want a flower with vines on my wrist. I just think it will look pretty."

"That's a good idea." She says.

We pull up in the tattoos shop parking lot and I get nervous. We walk into the shop and there's plasters of drawings of tattoos on the walls. A guy with multiple tattoos and piercings come up to us.

"Hey Marcel! What can I do for you?" He asks Marcel.

"We're all getting tattoos today Jim." He says.

"Okay then. What can I get you little lady?" He asks me.

"A flower with vines on my wrist." I say.

"Nice pick. Come sit in my seat and my buddy will help out you guys." He says to Ana and Niall.

Oh god I didn't wanna go first but I wanna get this over with.

I sit in the chair and the leather is really cold. Marcel is standing next to me and he is holding my hand.

"Ugh I'm really nervous."

"It's okay. I'm here for you baby."

He kisses my forehead and I hear the machine making noise. When the needle hits my skin. My body goes numb, but not the pain from the needle. I can still feel it.

"Your doing good honey. I'll be right back." He says.

I ignore him because I'm just trying to focus on not moving from the pain.

He walks away and in left with the Jim.

"Okay little lady. Your all set to go." He says while whipping the remainder of the ink.

I look over at the tattoo and it looks beautiful. The colors in the flower and the detailing is astounding.

"Wow. This is gorgeous. Thank you so much." I say.

"Not a problem. Your friends are waiting for you out in the waiting room." He says while pointing at Niall and Ana. No Marcel.

"What did you guys get?" I ask.

"I got the cross like I said." Ana says while unwrapping the bandage from her hand.

"That's really cute. What did you get?" I ask Niall.

"I got a barcode and below it, it says made in Ireland on my arm."

"Wow that's neat. Where's Marcel?" I ask.

"He's still in the room. I think he should be done any minute now." Niall says.

A couple of minutes later, Marcel comes out with his lower arm bandaged.

"What did you get?" I ask him.

"A rose. The rose is for you." He says and I'm in shock.

"What!? Are you crazy!" I shout.

"I love you Nina. With all my heart. And I'm proving to you that I will always be committed to our relationship." Marcel says.

"Oh my god." I say and kiss him.

I think that it's really cute that we have similar tattoos. It makes me feel like he really does love me. I'm happy he came into my life.
