6 - Tattoo

Seth
"Wasn't that wonderful!" Bayley just nodded, yawning as she stood up to turn the lights on and the movie off. "I've missed this, just watching films with you." Bayley smiled back at me and I thought back to the countless times me and Bayley have had movie nights together. "Yeah Bay, this was the best. It was just like the old times, before we moved away. Sorry about moving away." She shook her head, taking the DVD out of the player and clicking it back into it's box. "I know you needed to or you wouldn't have gone, it's fine now look the dream team have been reunited." I stood up enveloping Bayley in a hug, holding her tightly. "I've missed you." She laughed, a very heartfelt laugh that made me feel all happy inside. "I've missed you too Seth, now let's get you home before Roman starts to worry."

Becky
I groaned to myself as my phone starting ringing on the counter, I was in the middle of a tattoo design but it must be important so I pull my phone out to see it's Sasha. "Sash...I'm really busy right now." I started to impatiently tap my pencil. "Uh Becky you win the bet..." Her voice was shaky and I couldn't help as concern flooded through me. "Huh? Sash whats going on?" I heard the click of a few keyboard keys before she spoke again. "It's just I did some digging on this kid and I don't think he needs us messing with his head." I needed the money so I couldn't let Sasha give up on the bet. "Are you just scared Banks that at the end of the month I'm gonna Bankrupt you?" She huffed. "Fine, guess we're still on then. It's your funeral Lynch." Then she ended the call and I could get back to designing the tattoo Seth asked me for, butterfly surrounded by all pretty colours.

The almost painful noise of my alarm went off and I sat up in bed, rubbing the sleep out of my eyes as I shut the alarm clock up. I climbed out of bed, heading immediately to the kitchen to make something to eat. Unsurprisingly the kitchen wasn't empty, but I didn't expect Becky to be standing over the hob cooking bacon. "Oh morning, thought I'd come round Roman let me in." I couldn't help but feel a smile creeping onto my face. "It's alright, what you making?" She moved out of the way slightly, showing the pan of sizzling bacon to me. "And before you ask, yes Princess you can have some."

"Princess?" I furrowed my eyebrows together at the nickname. "Yeah because you like flowers and your room looks like something straight out of a Disney film." She seemed quite pleased with herself as she placed a sandwich down in front of me. "Go on then, eat." She pulled out the chair opposite me and she sat down as I took a bite out of my sandwich. "So we're both off uni today, do you want to go into town?" She asked me and I felt myself becoming nervous. "...Sure?..." She clapped her hands together and I just began to nervously eat my sandwich once more.

I don't understand this Becky girl, one minute she's all smiles and giggles and the next she's snappy and inconsiderate, maybe Bayley's right, maybe I should try to stay away from Becky. "Maybe I could take you to my tattoo parlour, I could show you the tattoo I've been sketching out the past few days." I just nodded, standing up from my chair to wash up my plate. "Cool, I'll just go and get dressed and we can head off!" I quickly ran into my bedroom, accidentally slamming the door a little too hard.

My heart was racing at the thought of spending a day with Becky and I don't know why. She's rude and cruel but I can't help but overlook that because she's kind, has already given me a nickname and she actually wants to spend time with me. I took a deep breath, trying to regain control over the thoughts swirling around my mind. I grabbed my wardrobe doors and my eyes scanned over all the clothes I own and suddenly I couldn't decide what to wear.

"Seth? Are you okay in there, we're going to miss the sales!" I couldn't speak as I sat down on the soft carpet. "Uh...I don't want to go." I heard the door open and I felt my eyes go wide as she stepped into my room. "Oh come on, you were up for it five minutes ago?" I stood up, feeling red rush to my cheeks. "Whatever, I'll just go myself." She turned away and she went to leave. "Wait! Uh...I don't know what to wear, could you help me?" She stopped, her angry glare completely wiped off her face. "Sure, open up the wardrobe doors!"

Soon she'd picked me out an outfit, a pink sheer top and a pair of white jeans paired with a striking electric pink jacket I completely forgot I owned. "See you're ready now, come on....let's go!" She took my hand and she pulled me out of the flat and onto the busy streets of Iowa. "My car's round the back, I'll take you to my tattoo parlour and then at lunchtime I'll buy you something nice!"

"Do you want to grab a McDonald's breakfast?" I nodded, trying to remember the last time I'd had a McDonald's breakfast. "I do want one but we've just eaten." She shrugged and I nodded again. "We're adults, we're allowed two breakfasts! Live at little." I sighed shaking my head with a laugh. "I s'pose you're right." I looked out of the window at all the cars on the road alongside us. "Alright, I'm gonna get a double sausage and egg McMuffin. What do you want princess?" She took a sharp right, cutting across the lanes as she pulled into the drive-thru. "Could I have pancakes please?" An impressed look flashed across her face. "Course you can, I expected you to be one of those weirdos that gets bacon rolls from here." She stifled a laugh as I pretended to be offended. "Thanks for that." She turned to face me a bright smile on her face, as a song from Maneskin came on the radio. "Oh I love these!" She whacked the volume right up as she tapped on the steering wheel, waiting somewhat patiently for the drive-thru queue to move along. "Yeah, they're kinda cool." I half shouted over the radio as we pulled up to the first window.

We quickly got our breakfast with Becky giving me two minutes to eat my pancakes before she was already starting the car again. "What I can't be late for work again? Just because you take forever to eat princess." So I ate my pancakes as Becky drove down the freeway.

Becky
"Dean this is Seth, Seth this is Dean my boss." Dean just nodded, he was in the middle of tattooing someone. "Ronda's out back, she's waiting for a tattoo." I rolled my eyes, I hate it when Ronda comes out for a tattoo especially when I was planning on offering Seth one. "Can't you just do her?" He stopped tattooing, angrily glaring up at me. "You want a job?" I nodded. "Then do the damn tattoo." He shouted at me and I quickly grabbed Seth's hand, pulling him through to the back room.

"Becky! Wondering when you were going to get here!" She was rifling through my designs and she currently had the one for Seth in her clutches. "This ones pretty." Seth stood awkwardly beside me as she tore the design up. "Get out!" She shook her head. "Came for a tattoo." I could feel the fury radiating off me as I stood in the doorframe. "Ronda you can't come here, rip up designs I've been working on for ages and then demand a tattoo. I'll do it another time, I'm busy." She smirked at me and I watched her eyes drift between me and Seth. "Right then, I'll leave you and the boyfriend together...but I will be back for my tattoo." She walked out of he room, purposefully bumping into Seth's shoulder as she left.

"Sorry about that." I spoke quietly as I stepped into the back room, reaching out for the design I'd been working so hard on...destroyed. "You alright?" Seth asked and I looked away, not wanting my tough girl image to fade. "...It's fine, I'm fine." I sniffled as I tried to piece the paper together, deflating when I realised a piece was missing. "Becky~" I grabbed the paper in my hand, turning to Seth. "I said I was fine, I'm going home...enjoy your day!" I left quickly not wanting Seth or Dean to see me cry. I was excited to see his reaction to the tattoo, I was excited to potentially give him the tattoo but now I can't...

Damn, what is this boy doing to me...
