"A lot of niggas do be fake though, like why you never with your baby, you put a nigga before your lady"

Autumn

I was fumbling around in my closet trying to find something to wear. I didn't need to dress up for work. However I was doing a celebrity tattoo today. Marcus had already made his way to the shop , he had to handle some business. After 30 mins of looking for something to wear I finally decided on my Balmain T-shirt and my robin jeans. I didn't want to over do it , I knew Marcus would find a way to complain. After I was fully dressed. I applied make up, jessica had been teaching me how to beat my face.I normally was to lazy to actually do it but today was an important day for me.

Once I got to the shop I greeted everyone before walking to my booth. I had to back track cause my eyes had to be playing tricks on me. Justice booth was right next to mine and when I walked pass... my client was in her chair.. and not just any client it was future. I rolled my eyes at her. She had a smile plastered across her face basically letting me know she wanted a problem. I swung Marcus office open and stormed in there. I could less about his business call. I push the end button on the phone causing the line to go dead.

Marcus what is that bitch doing with my client in her damn chair I yelled

Chill you not being professional right now. Close my office door, everybody don't need to know our damn business Autumn he said

Then explain to me why future is in her chair and not mine !! I yelled

The piece he wanted.. I feel as though justice could do it better he said. He waived me off as if it wasn't a big deal

She could do it better? I laughed yeah okay Marcus.. I bet she can do a lot better huh? Cause she's your first love right ? I told him

Aye... I ain't the only one keeping secrets he said

What is that suppose to mean Marcus? I asked

Exactly what it sounds like.. you got justice telling the whole shop how she saw you the other day with Brian and that you looked really happy he said

Wow..  first of all tell that bitch mind her business.. I met a friend at a restaurant and Brian happened to be there... when my friend left.Brian came to my table to apologize that was all I lied

He chuckled.... you still can't look me in the eyes when you lie I see. Look ma don't wait up tonight I got plans he said harshly as he brushed pass me walking out the door. Leaving me looking dumbfounded.

I walked out his office back to my booth. I could hear giggling coming from justice booth followed by Marcus voice.

Damn justice this shit look tuff, you did your thing with this one. Future do you fuck with it he asked 

Yes I fuck with this Tatt, make her co owner right now future joked

At that given moment, I felt like a failure. My work was dope I knew it was better then hers and I could of proved it, but no Marcus just had to give my client away....

Marcus

I know I pissed Autumn off earlier but I didn't care. I knew for sure she was lying to me and I'm no fool her and Brian was back fucking. That explains why I've been on this 6 month no sex probation . I pulled up to justice house and jogged up the stairs to her house. Justice asked if I could help her work on her free handing sketches. I agreed I had to go through with my threat to Autumn , I knew damn well I ain't have anywhere to go tonight but I wanted to piss her off. After ringing the door bell , justice opened the door. She had on a see through robe with a bra and panties matching set underneath.
