Princess and I were at the Tattoo shop with Lauren and Steelo. They decided they wanted Tatts as well so we made it a group date. While Princess was looking some artwork on the wall, I went behind her and wrapped my arms around her waist.
"Whatchu thinking about getting Princess?"
"I'm not ready for the tatt dedicated to my parents yet....I haven't finished my idea...so I'm just looking for now...What about you?" she asked me back, her ponytail lightly brushing my face as she looked back at me.
"Uhhh I don't know...maybe something small"
"You should get Princess all across your chest" she said as she moved her hand over my pecks.
I smiled because I already had the thought in my mind to get her name somewhere on myself. She knew me too well.
"Don't tempt me, I might just do it" I said.
"I will NOT let you get my name tatted on you...What if we broke up and I wanna leave you this time?" she joked.
She turned to walk to another side of the studio with a cheeky smile. I grabbed the belt band on her jeans and pulled her back into my chest. Wrapping my arm lightly around her neck, we walked forward together as I whispered in her ear.
"You plan on leaving me?" I asked seductively. I bit her ear softly and she hummed a little.
"If you tatt my name on you, I'm never going anywhere" she answered.
"That's all it takes huh?" I joked back at her.
She stopped, turned to face me, and kissed me passionately. Then she looked me straight in my eyes.
"I'm never leaving you babe,....or letting you leave me again....so if you get my name tatted...I'll get yours"
"You don't have to do that Princess" I said, palming her face in my hand.
"I know I don't HAVE to...I want to" she said palming my face as well. I laughed shyly as she mimicked me. Then I pulled her in for another kiss. Steelo and Lauren interrupted us soon after.
"Aight lovebirds...did you two decide yet or you too busy sucking face" Steelo said.
"Don't hate" Shon threw back at him. "And yes...I think we have" she said smiling at me.
"Baby leave them be or you won't be sucking face later" Lauren teased Steelo. She pecked his lips then went on to show us what she was getting.
We spoke with my boy Tony who owned the shop. He got three of his best artists to work on the ladies and Steelo, while he hooked me up.
"Baby I have an idea if you're down for it" Ashante said to me.
"What is it?" I asked raising my eyebrow at her.
"You trust me?"
She raised her eyebrow back at me and it made me laugh. I nodded and she leaned over and whispered to Tony. He then in return, whispered to Sasha who was working on Princess. Sasha smiled and Shon just looked over and winked at me.
45 minutes later I was looking at my left ring finger knuckle, which had the initial "A" with a crown on it. Her name, "Ashante" spelled in cursive on the right side of my finger.
She had the same but with my name and initial on her ring finger. I looked over at her surprised.
"What do you think?" she asked nervously.
