" Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage. " ~ Lao Tzu

Chyna McCartney

Sid an I sat in the living room doing stupid things with whip cream, cookies, strawberries and waffles. My mouth was stuffed with three strawberries and I put another one in. "Four, you got fifteen seconds left! come on Chyna!" He laughed as he held his phone because he was putting this on vine. I put another in my mouth making it five. I was laughing so hard I couldn't make it ten strawberries. The timer went off as soon as the strawberries started fall from my mouth. We started laughing so hard that tears fell from my eyes.

"Okay, I'm done with your ass Sid!" I smiled and he laughed squirting whip cream into his mouth. I stood up to throw the strawberries away into the garbage.

"You know what we should do, to show the appreciation towards our friendship?" He grinned, I looked at him,

"And what is that?" I said raising a eyebrow at him.

"Let's go get a tattoo" he said grabbing his keys.

"What am I going to get?" I said like this was a ridiculous thing to do. He shrugged. "We'll see, let's go." He said grabbing my wrist. I already had my shoes on, so we left out of the house.

We hopped into the car and started it up. Sid backed out of his drive way and started down the street. "So I was just thinking about a rose dripping blood and your name sitting on it as if it was melting." He said getting on interstate. I smiled,

"Awwe your getting my name Sid!" I said putting my hand over my heart feeling honored. He glanced at me with a goofy smile plastered on his face,

"Yup, and your getting mine." He said and I nodded turning on the radio and " Don't Tell 'Em " by Jeremiah Ft. Yg blared through the speakers I sung Jeremiah's part while Sid rapped Yg's part as I danced in my seat. I like this song for some reason. Then " Touchin' Lovin' " by Trey Songz Ft. Nicki Minaj came on as we came off of the E-way. We sung the song as we pulled up to the tattoo shop, I'm not gone lie I was kind of scared since this was my first tattoo. Sid had almost a sleeve on his right left arm. We hopped out of the car and made our way into the shop. I looked around and it was interesting, because their was all kinds of tattoo art hung on the walls of the red violet wallpaper giving it a mysterious feel of not knowing what you wanted to get.

Sid walked up to a Carmel skin guy with dreads that hung longly from his head in a style with grey eyes and goatee with a nice lining on his head, he was cute! Sid dapped him up as I followed behind him.

"Was good Rico." Sid said, Rico smiled.

"Shit you already know getting this money. You came up here to get yo arm finished?" He asked cleaning his equipment.

"Awe naw bro Imma come next week before I go back to Illinois but I came to get another tat." Sid replied taking a seat on a stool that sat at the counter full of pictures. Rico nodded then glanced at me and did a double take and then looked at Sid.

" This you bruh?" He said licking his lips at me. I cringed as I started to feel uncomfortable, Sid looked at me and noticed and must have noticed.

"Awe nah bruh, this my best friend. This why we came, she getting her first tattoo." He confessed. Rico smirked and nodded,

"Ha! a rookie huh? Ight Imma' hook you up ma." He said a motioned us to follow him to the back. I'm not his damn mama, I really hate that word 'ma' last I checked he didn't pop out my vagina. We got to the back and he patted a leather chair next to a whole lot of needles and other shit I didn't know what was called. I sat in the chair and he slipped on some gloves,

"Ight ma-"

"Don't call me 'ma' I'm not ya mama" I corrected, he chuckled and sat at a stool and nodded,

"Okay, what is your name miss?" He smiled and showed a silver grill that I didn't notice was in his mouth.

"Chyna" I said simply. He nodded.

"Okay Chyna what would you like to get." he said.

"Um let me see the pictures of lions and or Tigers you got." I said. He turned around and pulled out a album book of some sort and flipped it open. After three minutes of searching for the perfect lion and tiger I found it. It was picture of a lion and tiger back to back with a heart on top of there head procuring from a flower. I wanted Sid's name on top of the heart and " best friend's Property " in cursive.

"Good choice, who's this for? " he asked opening up a pack with a needle in it. He put it into the gun and put black ink into the gun also,

"Sid." I said and he glanced at me.

"You crushing on Sid?" He asked and Sid started coughing and I laughed.

"Hell no! He's my best friend and I want niggas to know that." I said. He smirked and wiped my arm with a alcohol pad began working on my arm.

"Owe dammit! "I hissed as it felt like he was scratching my skin off my arm. He chuckled,

"Calm down newbie, you'll get used to it." he said.

After he was down he put vaseline on my arm and it was sore. He said it'll get better but it didn't it hurt like shit and Sid was laughing in the corner of the room like it was hilarious. Rico gave me some type of cream he said was going to help it go faster to heal. Then it was Sid's turn, I got a text and I checked my phone and Noah texted me.

Noah: Hey baby.

I smiled and texted him back.

Chyna: Hey!

Noah: What are you doing?

Chyna: Nothing, just got a tattoo😊.

Noah: Oh really, What did you get?!

Chyna: A tattoo with Sid's name.

Noah: Not mine!

Chyna: Awe I'm sorry baby. I promise I'll get yours next.

Noah: Mhm well I'll text you later. I have a client.

Chyna: okay, I ttyl♥️

Noah: alright love♥️

I exited out of my messages and took a picture of my tattoo and put it on twitter. After spending another hour in the tattoo shop we finally left and went to get something to eat. We pulled up to Apple Bee's and hopped out the car and went to a table.

"I can't believe I just got a tattoo!" I said excitedly looking down at my arm. Sid looked from his menu and and nodded.

"Yes, you were crying like a little baby!" he laughed.

I playfully rolled my eyes, "yeah what ever. But I came out better than I expected!" I confessed.

"Hello I'm Sandy and I will be you guys waiter what can I get you two?" She asked Sid looked up and her whole demeanor changed so did his.

"Sid?"

"Sandy." He replied angrily. I sat there confused, Last time we met a girl from a restaurant things got hectic.

It's going to be a long day.
