In Love With An Outlaw

Author note: The cover picture belongs to my friend, Makayla Ricks. ( Just had to add that and give her credit for it.) Please let me now what you you think of the story. I want to know your thoughts about it.

    Waking up to Guns 'N' Roses "Welcome To The Jungle" playing on the clock radio, than I saw what time it was and oh man, 7:00 am, I almost overslept. I really need to rush and get ready for work. I'm so not a morning person. Why do I have to be at work by 9:00 am, I will never know.The guys won't like it if I'm late again, one time of doing that is enough, plus I love my job.

- An hour later-

     I walked out the door with my BVB backpack in one hand and my coffee in the other. Now to see if I can get a cab to work. This is one thing I'm having trouble getting used to since being in LA.

- A few minutes later-

      Man, that was quick, for here anyway. I got into the cab and told him to take me to Sunset Strip Tattoo. The driver said, " OK, almost late for work again girl?" It was my friend, Des. I love it when I get the chance to get his cab. " Yeah, again. " I said with a smile on my face.

      Des is my best friend that moved to LA with me. He is one of the most amazing people I know. But I know he misses his little sister, Kina, a lot though.

-20 minutes later-

      "Thanks Desi." I said smiling and paying him. "No problem darling." he replied smiling. When I turned around to go in, there was cameras and people from Tattoo magazine here. Ugh! I forgot the photo shoot today. Oh well, I have to go to work anyway.

     I went in and put my stuff down at the desk, I hate dealing with people over the phone, I love talking to people in person. I would love to set up the stations for the tattoo artists.

      As soon as I almost set down, 5 guys walk in the door. Damn! Just when I thought today was going to be easy. I took a deep breath and said hi to the guys and asked them who they were here to see.

      4 of them said hi to me and introduced themselves to me. Andy said he was here to see Rob. I don't blame him for asking for Rob. He is the best at what he does, he did some of my tattoos. Jinxx, Jake, and Christian got three of the other great tattoo artists here.

       Now for the "cowboy", the one with "outlaw" on his stomach. He finally introduced himself to me after staring at me for a minute.

      Ash- Hi. I'm Ashley. I don't remember seeing you here before.

      Me- Hi Ashley. Yeah, I just moved to LA a few months ago and started working here. My name is  Elvira by the way.

      I reached my hand out to shake his hand like I did with the others, but he gave me a hug instead. It was so out of the blue that he did that, but I wasn't going to argue with him about it.

      Ashley- Elvira, like The Oak Ridge Boys song huh?

      He laughs and smiles and it made me smile too. I love his laugh and smile.

      Me- Yes like the song.

      I couldn't stop smiling after that, he is so cute.

      He gave me another hug and walked over to the only free tattoo artist.

       All of the tattoo artists here are awesome. I got at least one tattoo from them, but most of my tattoos were done by Rob or Kat Von D.

-An hour later-

      The photographer came in and said to the guys, " OK guys, we're ready for you."

      This is so cool, Sunset Strip is going to be in Tattoo magazine. I'm so happy for the guys here, they deserve to get recognized for their art work.

      I didn't recognize the guys at first, because they didn't have all the make-up on, but I got to meet BVB.

- Later that night back at Des' and my apartment-

      As I told Des about my day and Ashley. I said that the photographer took pics of the guys and their tattoos. Than I finally told him who they were.

      Des- Honey, you met Black Veil Brides?

      Me- Yes I did. I met BVB. I didn't recognize them at first without the make-up. I'm glad I didn't freak out around them.

      I had a huge smile on my face. Plus I talk a lot when I'm nervous or excited.

      I can't stop thinking about Ashley. He is just so sweet. I hope I get to see him again soon.
