One Time Only

Chapter 11

Jerica places her painting supplies in the cabinet, throws her used brushes in the jar so they can soak over night, turns off the lights, walks out the door, locks it then walks next door to the tattoo shop. Walking in there she comes to a complete stop. Sitting in the chair, in Harry's station, is a girl a few years older than her, completely nude from the waist up. Harry is standing over her, his hands on her breasts, kissing down her neck, toward her exposed breasts.
Suddenly they both look toward her, so Jerica must have made a noise without realizing it. Seeing Harry suddenly jump back from the girl, looking guilty as hell, Jerica just shakes her head, turns and walks back out the door, running into Louis.
"Tell your friend to stay away from me." Jerica chokes out as she runs to her car.

Louis frowns as he walks into the shop, when he sees Harry tossing Jessi her shirt he just shakes his head. "So she finally got to you. All the flirting she's been doing every time she's been coming in here to get that stupid tat done, you finally caved and fucked with her. Knowing you have one of the best girls you've ever met right next door. You're such a dick Harry." Louis snaps.

"We weren't doing anything." Harry says. "Jeri didn't give me time to explain." He slurs.

"Oh come on love." Jessi smirks. "You had your hands on my breasts, and you were kissing my neck. If she'd have walked in a few minutes later she'd have caught you sucking on my tits like a baby." She laughs.

"Oh God, you bastard. You cheated on Jeri?" Andi yells. "How could you do that?" She snaps walking back out not giving Harry a chance to answer her.

"Well now we know you're single again, why don't we go to the club I was telling about?" Jessi says. "They don't care if you fuck in the booths there, we can have all types of fun."

Harry looks at the girl still sitting in his tattoo station, he can't believe he did what he did, she's nowhere as beautiful as Jeri. "You don't get your ass out of here in the next 5 seconds, I'll literally pick your ass up and throw you out, I don't care if you're dressed or not." Harry growls.

Jessi's eyes widen, she throws her shirt on and runs out the door.

Once she's gone Harry sits down and buries his head in his hands. He blinks several times the raises his head and looks at Louis. "I don't know what just happened, Lou I'm serious one second I was getting things ready to finish that ugly ass tat, then the next thing I know Jeri is standing there looking like I just hit her. When I realized where my hands were I jumped away from that bitch. You know damn well I'd never cheat on Jeri." Harry says as tears roll down his cheeks.

Louis sighs. "I'm sorry but that's not what we all saw. Is there anytime at all you left her in here alone?" He asks.

Harry shrugs. "I don't remember. Louis I don't even remember when she came in." Harry whispers.

Louis nods. "Okay I'm calling Randy, I guess dating a cops sister comes in handy." Twenty minutes later Andi's brother walks in.

"Hey Lou. You guys want to tell me what's going on?" Randy asks.

Harry explains to Randy what he remembers, then Louis tells him what he saw. "The problem is I don't remember half the things Louis is talking about. I do remember my girlfriend walking in and seeing Jessi and I together, but I don't remember what we were doing to piss her off." Harry says.

Randy nods, sets an odd looking kit on the counter. "Hand me your water bottle." He tells Harry, just as Andi and a red eyed Jerica walk into the door. Randy pours some of the Harry's water into a small bag, he then adds a few chemicals to it, seals it up and shakes it. Within seconds the contents turns an odd purple color.

"What does that mean?" Louis asks.

Just as Randy opens his mouth to respond, Harry groans, jumps up from his chair and runs to the bathroom. Even though she's still upset about what she saw, Jerica follows him to see if he's okay, only to find him on the floor throwing up. Grabbing some paper towels, she wets them and carefully wipes Harry face, when he's done she pulls a pack of gum out of her pocket and offers him a piece.
"You okay now?" Jerica whispers.

Harry nods. "I guess. Do you forgive me?"

"Let's see what Randy finds out, then we'll talk." Jerica says.

Harry nods and walks back into the shop. "Sorry about that, Randy what we're you about to say?"

"I was going to say, I need to know who this Jessi girl is. Because your water was drugged. It's no wonder you don't remember shit, and it's good thing you puked. The amount of drugs she lace your water with would have knocked out a fucking horse." Randy snaps.

Louis went over to Harry's station and writes down Jessi's name and address. "This is who you're looking for. She's been in here a few time to get a sleeve done, each time she's made a play for Harry but he's always ignored her. I guess she didn't like that and decided to even her odds a bit."

"Yeah well, she just landed her ass some jail time. She could have killed Harry with he amount of drugs in this water." Randy says. "I'm taking this with me. Harry you need to go home. You have someone to stay with you?"

"He's staying with me." Jerica says. "I'll keep an eye on him, he gets any worse I'll take him to the hospital." She says as she grabs his arm to lead him out the door. "Lou, you don't mind locking up do you?"

"Nope. I'll swing by later to see how he's doing." Louis says.
