We go inside and I quietly tell the front desk lady what I want.

She tells me that she'll let me know when the piercer guy will be ready and it should be in the next few minutes.

I sit with Calum as I wait.

"Please tell me what you're getting! I can't wait anymoreeeeee!" He drawls out.

"No way, it's supposed to be a surprise!" I giggle.

The guy comes out and brings me to a room in the back.

I tell him what I want and he disinfects and cleans and blah blah.

"Are you ready?" He asks when he gets the needle disinfected.

"Ready."

He pushes the needle through and then puts the ring in and the pain lasts only a few seconds, and then it's gone.

I let out a sigh of relief.

We walk out and Calum looks up from his phone.

First he looks at my ears, then my face. Then he raises a suggestive brow.

"EW CALUM DON'T THINK LIKE THAT!" I exclaim and smack his arm.

"Well if it's not... that, then what'd you get?" He asks.

I start to lift up my shirt and he freezes.

"It's not my nipple you idiot!" I laugh and show him my belly button.

"Damnit! Well, I like that too." He giggles.

"Are you gonna get something?" I ask him.

He ponders and says, "Sure, I guess since you're paying."

He goes into the back and I wait for a few minutes.

Finally he comes back, with a lip ring.

"Just you're lip? Damnit!" I mock him.

"Do you like it though?" He nervously asks.

I grin, "Awwww, Cal! Of course I do. It looks hot on you."

"Let's celebrate! Party at my house?" He smiles.

A give him a funny look, "Celebrate what? That you're hot?"

"No, that you broke out of your shell. That you did something fun and adventurous!" He exclaims.

"Fine. Let's pay and leave, I'm so hungry!"
