Smoke of cigars, and the perfume of Ivor, mixed in the air inside, as we enter the shop. There's not much people in here cause it's only 2:00 in the afternoon. Ivor leads the way, holding my hand. I roam my eyes inside the room. A lot of tattoo pictures were hanged in in the wall and some are band posters, this guy obviously like bands.
"Joey! We're here." Ivor shouted and it echoed inside the room. And then Ivor's friend came out of the red door holding a cigarette spreading his arms for a hug.
"Ivor! My man! How are you?" He said as Ivor walked up to him and accepted his hug.
"Fine, man. How are you doing?" He asked
"Well still kicking some ass." He laugh at him. He looked like from mid-40s man. He was wearing a loose black shirt with The Cranberries Band printed on it. I was just looking at them happily, and suddenly that guy joey, take a glance at me.
"Is this your girl?" He asked Ivor pointing his cigar at me.
"Yeah." Ivor turned his head to me and lends his hand.
"Come here, baby." He said smiling happily. I accepted his hand immediately and walked up to him, he suddenly rests his arms around my shoulder.
"Hi." I said half smiling at the guy.
"Hello. It's nice to finally meet you, Lumina. You are so beautiful, no wonder Ivor likes you so much! He always mention you everytime we talk. Right Ivor?" He said smirking at Ivor.
"Y-yeah." He said nervously and laugh. He must be embarassed haha.
"Uh. I dont know about that." I said to Joey and looked up to Ivor teasing him more. I am going to be friends with this guy. He has a humor inside him.
"So? What are you waiting? Let's go inside. Are you up for a tattoo, Ivor?" joey asked changing the topic. Ivor just shooked his head and looked at me. Hmm. Maybe it's the right time to asked him.
"Can I get one?" I asked him trying to sound nice and gentle.
"Uh." He looked at me and glance at Joey whose eyes lit up.
"You should get her one, Ivor!" He said to him excitedly.
"Uh. Okay. Are you sure about this?" He asked looking straight to my eyes.
"Yeah. I want one since highschool." I smiled.
"Okay! Let's get her inside now." Joey interrupted our conversation. We enter inside the red door and Joey asked me to pick some tattoo that I would like.
"This one." I said pointing the small moon phase tattoo art. Ivor looked at me, like he was wondering what's got into my mind.
"Are you really sure about this?" He asked crossing his arms.
"Yeah." I said focusing my attention to the tattoo art I just picked.
"It's going to hurt. But not really painful. Not sure if you can do it." He said with a bit of a worry in his voice.
"I can take it." I said smiling.
"Okay? Now what are we waiting for? Get in here Lumina." Joey said tapping the black soft couch. I walked to him excitedly and sat on the couch.
"Now, where do you want it?" He asked.
"Hmm. Maybe here." I said pointing at my collar bone part.
"Okay. Now, Ivor your duty is to distract her. This may hurt a little bit." He said with authority to my boyfriend.
Ivor walked up to me and held my hands. His hands are wet. Did he wash his hands? Like it's really wet.
"Wait. What's your favorite song?" Ivor asked smirking.
"Um. Never say never by The Fray." I said wondering.
"Okay." He suddenly played it on the speaker.
"Okay. I'm going to start now." Joey reminded me.
"Okay." I said chilling. Ivor was just looking at me smirking.
"You can never say never, while we dont know it. Time and time again Younger now than we were before Don't let me go, don't let me go, don't let me go Don't let me go, don't let me go, don't let me go."
I started to feel the song. And then there I felt the pain like in my chest like it's removing my skin out of my body. It's really painful but bearable. And suddenly I was distracted by some deep voice. I listened to it. It was Ivor's, I opened my eyes.
"We're falling apart, And we're coming together, Again and again We're crawling apart, But we're falling together, Falling together Together again"
He sang infront of me while looking into my eyes, while holding my hands. And then the pain went away, I saw sparks floating in the air and then it felt like just the two of us in the room. He sang the last sentences of the lyrics. His eyes still glued in me.
"Don't let me go, don't let me go, don't let me go Don't let me go, don't let me go, don't let me go Don't let me go, don't let me go, don't let me go Don't let me go, don't let me go, don't let me go."
And then the song ended, just as how my tattoo has perfectly drawn into my chest.
"Okay! Now it's done! Take a look at the mirror girl!." Joey said that made me come back to my senses. I walked slowly glancing at the mirror.

Wow. It's beautiful. Ivor walked up to me. I stare at the vision of us in the mirror. Perfect. Perfectly made for each other. I smiled at the thought. He removed my hair that was resting on my neck slowly and he glance into the mirror. With his eyes expressive. I was about to touch the tattoo on my chest but
"Don't touch it. It's still hasn't dried up." He whispered into my ear, I gasped. Then suddenly he pecked at small kiss at my neck, making me fall for him harder and harder.
