Finally Free

Forty-One

***Alarm going off***

"Fuck" I hear Garrett mumble trying to find what is going off but I know that sound all too well

"It's my watch. My sugar is fucked" I mumble will a very dry mouth after a few more seconds of the alarm going off Garrett finds my watch and shuts the alarm off before handing me my phone so that I can see what is wrong with my sugar. Oh look it is sky-high.

"What do you need?" Garrett asks with a sense of panic in his voice I check the time and it is 4:42 in the morning.

"I got it you go back to bed," I tell him trying to get out of bed but he is already out of bed and has my phone in hand so he can see what to do

"No. Can I turn on a light?" he asks

"Yeah" I mumble tired as heck after spending most of the evening just sketching, eating dinner, some rated R things 😉😏.... then just watching Netflix until we fell asleep. He goes around and gets what I need to make my sugar go back to semi-normal. By the time it is all set and stable, finally, I am wide awake and I think so it Garrett "Sorry for waking you up" I yawn

"Don't worry about it, baby girl. How are you feeling?" he asks and I shrug

"Better now. But this is what I mean by it going crazy randomly because I was just asleep and it skyrocketed."

"Now it makes sense" he mumbles "Hey did your brother's friend ever answer?" Garrett asks I go to my messages to see if I have any new ones which I do

"Yeah. So Mike said that he had someone cancel so he is free this morning at like 10 and then he said it will probably have to be multiple sessions just because of how detailed it is. But he wants me to scan the design over as soon as I can so that he can get it all set to go and so he can see how detailed it actually is. And then he said that the price will depend on how many sessions and if you decide to add the color or not but expect between 500 and 750" I explain to Garrett after reading the message. Mike is Harry's friend who owns a tattoo shop in London but is currently over here for who knows what reason and is doing tattoos at a shop here thankfully.

"Wait today as in Saturday?" Garrett asks

"Yeah. I mean he sent it Friday and said tomorrow which would be today" I laugh

"Sweet and that's a lot less than I was expecting," Garrett says "Do you mind sending it to him?" he asks

"No, I don't mind. I'll send it now" I hate that I am awake right now I climb out of bed and set everything up so that I can scan it to him now and then I am going to keep the original for when Garrett goes to get it done and then keep it after the fact for either Garrett or I to keep. Hopefully, me because I am completely in love with this sketch.

"Probably, did he say anything about you getting your tattoo?"

"He said that he won't even give me a dot until he has Harry's permission." I roll my eyes "So I am going to talk to Harry at some point"

"I am not being mean but I will never understand your relationship with Harry"

"I don't either," I admit checking my phone again laying back down in bed

"Mike got the scan and he said to come in today, Saturday, around 10:30 and he wants to get it started as soon as he can but it might take some time just because of copying it."

"Is he redrawing it?"

"No. He has a software program type thing that can copy a drawing into a stencil and then he traces it out to add any remaining details that may have been missed. Or if he doesn't like how that turns out he just traces it over his light table, to begin with," I explain
