K E I T H

I started the engine and flew off. Looking back once to Lance entering the Flower Shop. I sighed stopping at an intersection. Suddenly, I had this really fluttery feeling in my guts and I smiled really wide. I've never felt anything like this.... I shook it off but I noticed that it wouldn't go away.

The traffic light turned green and I drove. Thinking about the current events in the past days, I arrived at the Tattoo shop fairly quickly. I smoothly lined up with the small parking spot in one drive and turned off the engine.

I hopped off and entered the shop,confused as there was a line up outside of the shop. I entered the cold rushing, filling up the air around me. I looked around for Dylan but suddenly remembered that he went on a date with his girlfriend and I was here to be in charge. I see the other workers lazily in the lounge on their phones.

"Uh, guys?! What are you doing? And why are there people lined up outside?" I exclaimed.

They all snapped their heads up, some people jumping.

"Oh Dylan said to wait until you came, to open the shop again." One of the new girls said.... Carly was it?

I felt a slight surge of pride, Dylan wanted to wait for me! I snapped out of that mindset and slapped both of my hands onto my face, making some of the workers jump again. I felt my face ache and burn at the spots where I had slapped but I ignored it.

"Okay! Well let's open this shop!" Even knowing this was the busiest time of our week, where tons of people flood in to remove, or get a tattoo.

It was good profit but we had to work our butts off rushing for the phone or to get a cart.

I walked over to the door and turned around to see them all setting up. I turned to Carly,

"Hey do you mind being on phone duty for a bit?" I asked.

She sighed in relief, nodded and walked to the phone.

I opened the doors, hot air flooding in. I see the people start flooding into the shop. I put a door stopper in the doors and let the cold air mix with the hot, making most of the room cold and the front warm.

"Let's get to work..."

———————————————————

I released a giant breath as Carly and I closed the doors of the shop. The rest of the workers had just finished cleaning and were sprawled all over the couch.

I walked over and collapsed onto a very squishy chair and let myself sink in. We sat there in silence.

Finally I peeked at everyone else.

"We should probably get going.." I laughed. They all chuckled.

Soon enough, everyone packed up and had left. Some workers bunched up together to get a drink, some went to study for exams and my the library and some went home to get a, hopefully, undisturbed rest.

I walked over to the parking lot and got on my bike as quickly as I could and drove home.

On the way home, I stopped by at the grocery store and bought some groceries.

I frolicked home with bags full of groceries, walking up the parking garages stairs, finally making it into the elevator.

I pressed the button for level 10, my level, when someone's hand stopped the door.

The door reverted back into the sides and someone walked in. He had long white platinum hair. I let out an irritated huff,

"Not now Lotor! I'm really tired!"

He smirked and stepped closer,

"Well then I could release some of that stress—"

"LOTOR THAT'S DISGUSTING!"

I stomp out of the elevator at level 8 and walk up two flights of stairs and end up panting and out of breath.

I stumble into my apartment drop all my stuff and save my bed for last.((Is that just me or do you guys do that too?))I promise myself I'll take a shower in the morning (but to be honest, I won't) and change and brush my teeth. Then I collapse onto the bed. My muscles immediately release and I let myself sink into the mattress.

Picking up my phone to let it charge, I send out one more message.
