Flowers & Tattoos

Chapter four: Secrets & Birds

(Louis' POV)
Today has been quite slow, hardly anyone has booked a tattoo in for today and people have just drifted in and out looking at tattoo designs. I hate days like this. I love being active and busy! I have someone booked at one and I think it's the guy who has tattoos all over his body... I'm not sure if he has any room left!

I never replied to Jack, I don't really know what to say or if he'll even reply? What's the point of giving me false hope? I can't get hurt again I know that. I can't go through anymore pain. I've just kept the ring safe in my draw until he messages me again.(if he does)

Today I'm clad in all black which makes my red hair pop, I'm still not sure if I like it, hopefully it'll fade into a pink colour,which I secretly love. I'm so gay inside it hurts, it may look like I'm a goth/emo and nothing will hurt me but I love rom coms, pink and sometimes I even paint my nails. I have a whole box of chick flicks in my room which I watch when I'm lonely or upset, how sad.
Nobody knows this, but Jack, now it'll take a long time for me to tell someone else. Sometimes I wish I wasn't gay, maybe things would be different for me who knows. Maybe that's why I put on this persona, I don't want to be judged on how I am, just how I look like.

Then the door opens, it's exactly one o'clock. I was right. It was the guy who has tattoos everywhere. He said he wants a bird on is left shoulder but I literally can't find a space for it!

After an hour of trying to make a little bird fit, I'm finally done. I open the door for him and shout 'Thank you, come again soon!' I know he'll come back again because I've pretty much done all the tattoos on his body, oh well. I look past the man and see a guy similar age as me looking at me, is he looking at me or just wondering what I'm shouting at? I smile at him because he looks quite cute dressed in a baseball hoodie and jeans, maybe he's a tourist? He stops and finally gives me a smile back. What was that about?

People come and go for tattoos and I finally finish at 5. I can't stop thinking about the guy who was looking at me, who am I kidding he's probably a tourist and will be going home soon, no point trying to get to know him. He was pretty cute though not going to lie.

I turn on the radio as I get ready for bed, 'I'd go hungry I'd go black and blue' I quietly hum along. That's another thing nobody knows about me, I love cheesy songs!
I sing the rest and belt out as loud as I can, it's not late so hopefully my neighbours don't bang on the wall! As my voice is quite high, I can't sing the low notes so when I sing some songs I just sound strange.

I sing along to some more songs then settle into bed, I love having a king sized bed to myself, it's so spacious. The only reason I got it was because of Jack and our well, night time activities let's say. I do miss it not going to lie, it connects people together and brings them closer I think. Who knows when it's going to happen next, hopefully soon. I'm feeling deprived haha!

-no idea what this chapter is about, doesn't really have a story line but oh well, it's just a chapter to carry everything on and get everything started again.
