Jackie's POV

I washed my camo pants last night so I can wear them today. Niall said he would drive me to the tattoo shop at noon. I'm keeping my ring on until I have to leave.

I printed out the picture of the owl I found. I want to get it on my left thigh. I changed into my camo pants and a plain white tee shirt. I put my dog tags under my shirt, then grabbed some short shorts. I have to change into them when I get there.

We got into the car and headed to the shop. We stayed pretty quiet the whole way. We were just glad to be in each others company. We got out of the car and I was literally jumping with excitement. I haven't seen everyone in awhile. We walked in.

"I have an appointment with Ben. Is he ready?" I know Cassie hates it when people ask if they were ready when they just walked in the door. I saw her roll her eyes then look up at me.

"Oh my god!" She got up and gave me a huge hug. "I didn't think you'd come back!"

"Well I'm just here to get a tattoo from Ben before I go back to America."

"Why did you move there anyway?"

"I'm in the army. I'm on leave right now so I can see my boyfriend and spend time with him. I leave next week, and I won't be back for twelve months."

"Wow. Hey is that what you wanna get?" She asked pointing to the paper in my hand.

"Ya. I wanna get it right here." I said and put my hand on my left thigh.

"Here I'll give it to Ben." I handed it over.

"Thanks Cassie." Niall and I sat down on the sofa near the door. A few minutes passed before Ben came over.

"Hey Jackie! How are you?" I got up to hug him.

"I'm good, you?" I said while in our embrace. He let go and looked at me.

"I'm doing ok. So you wanna get this on your left thigh?" I nodded. "Ok I just need to see how big you want it." He traced the outline of my thigh. "I'll trace this, then you can pick the size you want."

"Ok." He got up and left. Niall and I still sat on the sofa, talking. I said how excited I am to get this tattoo, and Niall was saying how he's excited he's getting his first tattoo from me. Ben came over and said he was ready for me.

"I'm gonna go in back and change into some shorts." He nodded as he started to set up. I changed into my black short shorts then walked back out. Niall made some sort of whistling sound. "Oh shut it." I retorted. Ben positioned the stencil so it's right in the middle of my left thigh. I went for the one that's medium size. I laid down on the table bed.

In my opinion getting a tattoo really doesn't hurt as bad as everyone says, but I held Niall's hand anyway. I heard the sweet sound of a tattoo machine starting up. I watched Ben as he created a work of art on my thigh.

When we got home I put some A+D on my new tattoo. Niall watched me intently from the doorway. I looked at him for a split second then back at my leg.

"Can I help you?" I asked laughing. I finished rubbing it in.

"I'v seen the guy's tattoos before, but I'v never watched them get them. It's actually really cool. And you didn't even move." I smiled up at him.

"So when do you want yours?" I put the A+D away, then Niall came and sat on the couch next to me.

"Well I have a really good idea on what I wanna get."

"Really, what?" I asked smiling.

"Can't tell you. Your gonna have to wait." I jokingly pouted. "Pout all you want I'm not telling you." I got an idea. I reached up and started kissing his neck. He shifted in his seat, I got on his lap facing him and continued.

"Alright alright." I stopped and looked into his eyes. "I'm only saying it has to do with you. That's it." I kissed his lips softly, then continued kissing his neck. I love doing this to him cause of his reaction.
