One Time Only

Chapter 34

Louis grabs Harry by the arm and pulls him into the shop. "Get them and hand them over, then go over to the studio and get those and bring me those. Don't take any and make sure you bring them all, or so help me I'll put your ass back in rehab." Louis snaps.

With tears in his eyes, thinking about the bruises he left on Jeri, Harry walks over his table and opens the drawer, he pulls out the baggie Josh gave him and hands it to Louis. He then walks over to the door leading to the studio and opens it, once he retrieves the drugs he's hidden in there he gives those to Louis also.
"Go flush them. Get them out of my sight." Harry says.

"Nope, I'm not doing it, you are." Louis says handing the baggies back to Harry. "Go, I mean it. You get rid of them."

Harry nods and walks to the bathroom, flips the light on, opens the first bag and dumps into the toilet. Just as Harry's about to open the second bag his hands start shaking, ripping it open he holds it over the toilet but for some reason can't seem to dump this one. "I can't." He whispers.

"Do it damnit." Louis snaps.

"Louis I can't, I need these." Harry says.

"So you'd rather have those, so you can do again what you did earlier? Think Harry. Remember what Jeri's voice sounded like after you almost choked the life out of her, can't you even now still see the bruises you left on her beautiful neck? Your very own finger marks marring her once perfect neck, the neck you used to kiss." Louis snaps.

Suddenly Harry turns his hand over and dumps the remaining drugs into the toilet, he then reaches out and flushes it. "I'm going home, to the UK. I have nothing here anymore. Jerica made herself clear, there's no since in trying anymore." Harry says as he turns to walk away.

"You're a coward." Louis snaps. "Definitely not the guy I used to know who would fight tooth and nail for what he wanted. So you're just going to give up? Let some other man raise your son? Okay, do that, go home, run the London shop. Maybe I'll have Nick find someone to run his place, have him come here to help me out. Never know Jeri might like him, he's a decent enough chap." Louis says. "Need help packing? I'll even drive you to the airport."

"Fuck you Louis, I'm not going anywhere." Harry snaps.

"Timmy, come on let's go see Aunt Andi and Uncle Louis." Jerica says as her son runs to her. Swinging him up into her arms she grabs her keys on the way out the door. Once at the tattoo shop, Jerica picks Timmy up and walks in, stopping when she sees Harry sitting in his station giving a half dressed girl a tattoo. Covering Timmy's eyes, Jerica walks toward the door going into the studio.

As soon as Andi sees Jerica walk in she's pissed. She told Harry Jerica was coming by with Timmy but he still chose to do Amber's chest piece. "You're a fucking ass Harry." Andi snaps. "This is the you I hate." She says, slapping the back of his head, before following Jerica.

Harry's head pops up at hearing that. He's so intent on getting this tattoo done he has no clue what the hell Andi's talking about. "What the hell Andi, what was that for?" Harry snaps.

"Timmy get back in here." Jerica says swinging her son up into her arms just as he steps into the shop.

"Shit, where is the fucking cover up I gave you? I told you there would be a kid here soon." Harry snaps, seeing it lying on the floor, picking it up he tosses at the girl in he chair. "Do that again and I'll leave this unfinished."

"Kids don't belong in tattoo shops anyway." Amber smirks, looking over at Jerica. "She should know better than to bring her child here."

Harry slams his hand on the arm of the chair the girl is sitting in, startling her, when he's got her attention, he leans forward. "This I my shop, that is my son and she's his mother. So I really don't think your opinion on this matters. If I want kids in my shop then I'll have kids in here. Don't you ever insult her again." Harry says. Just as he's about to add more Louis walks in with Addy.

"Damn, remind me never to give this kid ice cream again. She's running me ragged." Louis laughs. "Mom it's your turn." He says plopping the beautiful girl in Andi's lap.

Amber's eyes widen slightly when Harry chuckles. Andi stands up and kisses Louis' cheek. "Fine with me, I'll take her to the studio to play with Timmy, at least until we have less skin showing here."

"Hey, I told her to wear the cover up, I was trying to get this stupid tat done before my son got here I didn't even notice she threw it on the floor." Harry shrugs.

Andi just shakes her head. "Maybe we should have a new rule around here. All tit tats are done by Jeri, that way all these bitches don't make moves on you guys. Especially my guy." Andi says.

Harry nods. "Fine with me. You think I enjoy doing these all the time? Then the girls getting pissed when I have no clue what they're talking about when they say something about the chemistry between us, I mean Jesus. They pay me to do a tat." Harry says throwing his hands in the air.

Amber just stares at him for a few seconds. "Are you saying you feel nothing while having your hands on my tits. Come on Harry."

Harry snorts. "That's exactly what I'm saying." He says laughing. "Have a look." He says pushing his stool back. "Do I look turned on to you. Now I'll bet my favorite tattoo gun if Jeri walks over here and puts her hand on my leg I'll be hard as hell in seconds." Harry laughs.

"Bullshit." Amber snaps, pissed because Harry isn't turned on by her.

Jerica hands Timmy over to Louis, and with a smirk walks right up to Harry, and gently places her hand on his thigh.

Louis throws his head back and laughs. "I'll be damned."
