I was sitting with my best friend Carter outside in the sun at a little café in downtown Baltimore, when the stupidest thing she has said in a while left her mouth that never stopped moving and I, Noah Rose did not hesitate to tell her so.

"You do know, that is the Dumbest idea to leave your mouth in a while?" I asked, picking french fry covered in ketchup up off my plate and throwing it into my already open mouth as she multitasked between grading 3rd grader spelling tests and sharing stupid ideas.

"No, I have had worse" She openly admitted it that was at one point worse than this. "But come on, one blind date can't be that bad. It is just dinner and a drink or 2"

"That is where you are wrong dear Carter." I replied, picking up my iced tea. "For all we know he could murder me. The whole experience will be traumatic for you, but I will be too dead to care."

"How many times do we have to go through this? He won't murder you." Carter hissed loud enough for surrounding customers to look up from their meals.

"To be honest, he could be anything. Aside from a killer, he could be a bed wetter, mummy's boy or even a thumb sucker! Who even knows? Because I sure as hell don't." Carter wasn't doing the Job of match maker very well as she insisted that the date she was trying to set me up on was so mysterious I wasn't even allowed a name.

"Please just this on-"

"Carter, you know I love you I do. But I will not be going on this date unless you suddenly become part of the BAU and you are allowed to analysis him." I stood up from the table and threw a few bills from my pocket on to the table. "I have to get back to work, I will see you tomorrow"

"Think about it!" she called after me as I walked away, giving her the finger from behind as I walked.

Walking into the tattoo parlour from the back entrance, I took off my black zipper hoddie and put my long lavender hair into a bun. "What did Carter day to you this time?" My boss Bear asked when he heard me sign as I walked up behind him.

"She is trying to set me up on a blind date" I rolled my eyes as the words left my mouth and The tall, bald, heavily tattooed man spat his coffee, narrowly missing the keyboard in front of him and began to howl with laughter.

"Wow she really is insane" He continued to laugh while wiping up the spit all over the desk. The bell rang above the studio door and a tall lanky man with short black hair walked in, a smug grin spread across his face.

"You must be Noah" The man looked at Bear and held out his hand. "I am Jack, I called earlier and was told you would be available."

"Actually, that would be me" I gave him a less than impressed look as he gave me a once over. Winking at me, Jack re-introduced himself as if I hadn't been there for the whole interaction between him and Bear. "I am aware, I was here the first time you announced yourself. What can I help you with?"

"A nightmare before Christmas tattoo." The smug grin still plastered across his face as if he was waiting for me to fall for his charm. He was going to be waiting a damn while.

"Jack, you are going to be a tad more specific or else you are going to get the Easter tree tattooed across your ass." I smiled as sweetly as I could without letting him know I wanted to slap the smirk off his face. Bear shaking his head with laughter and walking away.

"Jack Skellington playing my purple guitar on the left side of my chest" The smug look finally left when he knew his charm wasn't going to work, pulling out his phone, he showed me a few photos of his guitar including ones of him showing off on stage and I got an idea.

If I said I want your body, would you hold it against me?Where stories live. Discover now
