He watched as the front door swung open & the blazing sun shined through. The figure that stood there gracefully walked through & took a quick look around. As the door softly closed & he could see more clearly he noticed it was a young woman.
Before he headed to his shoot today he thought it was another customer so he got up to see if he could help her. Before he even got closer to her, a smile burst across her face & she took off towards one of his barbers Seth who was in the middle of the room looking through a tattoo book.
He watched as Seth noticed her & he threw his arms open to catch her as she launched herself at him & completely enveloped him in a hug. Hearing them greet after many years apart, he felt his eyes widen & his lips part as the girl removed her sunglasses & turn to look once more around the room. Barely being able to think clearly, as he openly starred at her in awe, a single thought came threw his head.
" She is absolutely perfect..."

Unfortunately, I just found out that I accidentally hired him to work on the BIGGEST campaign of my career!💀 But when Gray's prismatic eyes fill with heartfelt apologies, I don't know how to feel. It's messing with my mind, my career, my new friendships, and worst of all, it's hurting what's left of my ruined heart.

Highest Ranks: #1 & #2 in Badboyseries #1 in Cancerpatient #1 in Cancersurvivor #1 in Tattoos || Completed & Edited || ❧ "Please don't leave me," I croaked, voice fractured and small. "I-I-I'm scared. Don't leave me, please." Lucien's sneakers hit the floor before I finished my sentence. He climbed onto the bed and pulled me gently into his arms, his chest behind mine, strong and anchored. "I wouldn't," he murmured against the side of my face. "I'm here, I won't." His hands moved with an uncharacteristic softness, not filled with arrogance, no sharp edges. Just warmth. What was he doing? I felt him hesitate, then bring a thumb to my cheek. He wiped away the tear I hadn't noticed falling. The moment his skin brushed mine, something inside me steadied. The Lucien I knew-quick-tongued and distant-was gone. My breaths slowed. The tightness inside my chest softened. And still, his hands remained gentle, mapping out the curve of my cheek like he was trying to memorise it. "You're no good for me," I whispered hoarsely, leaning my head against his shoulder, eyes wet. "I can't deny my feelings, Amara," he said, his voice more like a confession than an excuse. "I try, every time, I do. But your innocence haunts me and I'm left coming back to you." He brushed a strand of hair out of my eyes. That simple act shattered every version of him I had thought I understood. "You're going to hurt me," I warned, my voice brittle. His gaze stayed locked on mine. "I can't promise I won't, Amara. I wish I could. I'm flawed. I'm angry. I'm still learning how not to run. But I want you. I want every version of you, even the parts I don't deserve." ❧ || Sequel to How To Love : Chasing Secrets ✓ ||Complete

"Because I am the perfect housewife?" I asked arching an eyebrow. "No, because you are the perfect combination of smart, beautiful, and skillful." I blushed at that and I wanted to look away but one of his hands stopped me and turned my face towards him. "Get used to hearing compliments because you're going to hear them often in the future. Now, about my offer..." He gave me an expectant look. I thought for a while. I still wasn't sure it was a good idea but I liked working at the shop and still wanted to work there for a little while. "Alright, let's do it," I said. "Now? Here? Damn Angel, first the fiancé thing, and now this. For someone inexperienced, you sure move fast" He joked and I laughed. *Warning ⚠️* Strong language, triggering topics such as body shaming, depression...Complete

A smirk appears on his face "Like you want me to come over and take you now, as much as I would love to I'm a little bit busy".

"It isn't girly, I think it's really sweet." She said with a grin. "Maybe you should add some color to yours." I suggested, tracing her spine with my fingertips, I felt her shiver against my hand.
