Needles, Ink, and Hardcore Love, chapter 2
Okay so about one week (the concert went AMAZINGLY! We sold a total sum of 30 demo CDs, which is unbelievable!) later I was driving in my shit of a car, a blue El Camaro that had been victim to numerous spray paint attacks, half of which had been my fault in some way, shape, or form. Well anyway back to life, I was driving in my Camaro to work, which was basically where I lived during the week, I had the song Sugar by System of a Down (one of the best bands ever) when my cell phone buzzed violently on my thigh. I turned down the music reluctantly and picked up the phone "Hey babe," was the voice I heard on the other line
"Um, who is this?" I said cautiously, anxiety biting at my voice.
"Its me, Tre, remember? We have a date tonight?" I smiled realizing who it was.
"Yeah I remember." I answered lovingly, although we had two one dates before, we had realized we were two completely different people. Me with my black and purple hair oddly arched eye brows (think Juliya from Uranium) and full dark lips, and him with his quirky smile, newly dyed bright green hair, and slight pudge. Although we knew we must look like a dominatrix and her man bitch or a pair of "punks" (I don't like labels) that like to dye our hair and wear odd clothes, we hit it off immediately.
"I have a surprise for you, I think you'll really like it." And with that he hung up, trying to make me more excited, oh my god this man was adorable.
After flipping my own phone shut, I turned the music back up and immersed myself in the metally riffs and Serj's yelling voice sing/yelling "Who can believe you," and laughed as i thought about all possible 'surprises' Tre could have thought of. Role playing, no, we did that on the last date, another tattoo? No that man obviously did not like tattoos as much as his friends Mike and Billie, who had made our shop their place for getting their numerous body decorations. The Green Day boys had moved to LA so it was easier to record and get more known, so Tre and I had more dates than hoped for, and Mike and Tal (no surprise) got together a little too much for my taste.
I arrived at work ten minutes early, so I took advantage of the extra time and went to the bathroom to fix my makeup. I wore a white t shirt with the vans skull on it with black sleeves, tight black dickies pants, and some black combat boots that went up half way to my knee. I took out my purple eye shadow and applied it generously to my lids. I then took my black eyeliner and put it on the pink squishy thing on the bottom lids and on my top lids. I then took a purplish lipstick and put it on lightly, followed by a darker purple lipliner. Lastly put my straight shoulder length hair into highish pigtails. I smiled approvingly at my reflection and left the ladies' room.
On my way out, I bumped into Tal. "Tre tell you the surprise yet?" she said grinning madly.
"Nope, not yet, he said after work," I sighed. I really wanted to know what was up my boyfriend's sleeve. The subject changed thanks to my ADHD "Is that my belt?" I said tapping my side. Tal smiled sheepishly.
"I didn't think you'd mind, you were sleeping and you already had your outfit layed out, so I knew you weren't going to wear it." I laughed and we went to the back room to check in with Jackson.
"Hey Jacky-boy!" Tal laughingly called to him. We heard a familiar grunt from the staff room. We jogged energetically towards our boss, who always seemed to lack excess energy.
"Good Mornin' Boss!" I said loudly in a faux southern accent
"Hey babes," he responded to our greetings as if it were an ordinary way to say hello.
Later that day, after tending to numerous first timer tattoos and about 3 men and 1 woman who knew a lot about our profession, which does make the conversation between artist and consumer a little more interesting. The door opened with a bell ring and my absolute love walked through the door. I greeted him by jumping on him and wrapping my legs around his waist, He cradled my ass as he held me and kissed me hello. After letting go he bent down on one knee with a velvet case in his hands. My heart stopped, my brain screamed TOO EARLY, but when he opened the case two plane tickets appeared. I sighed in relief and took the case gingerly from his hands. "What do you say? A nice trip to New York City?" I smiled brightly and pulled him into a hug. I kissed him softly on the mouth and whispered.
"I would love to go with you anywhere, Tre" before kissing him hard on the mouth.
"Um, who is this?" I said cautiously, anxiety biting at my voice.
