TATTOOIST SHOP*

Pearl__Wilson

She's a social butterfly unlike him, though she only socializes with her friends.

He wondered why, and the fact that she always told him not to come closer to her too.

It's like she hates the male gender or something.

His eyes caught one of the pictures, and a still smile covered his lips when he clicked on it.

In the picture, she's in a club, on the dance floor, rocking her @ss on Rebekah.

Her hair covered a large part of her face, but it didn't cover her smile.

It's obvious that the only happy times she has are times she spends with her friends, and he can't wait to change that.

He smiled cruelly.

"Tell me you noticed Hyce and Isaac" Axel said, bringing him out of his phone.

"What's it gonna be? Should we force him to be yours?" He said.

"Keep your crazy ways to yourself, Banks. I know what to do, and I'm not even sure if he's gay yet" Hyce replied.

"There's a gay side to every guy" Axel said freely.

"Knock me out of that goddamn list. Fuçking guys is insane when there's a lotta waiting pu$$ies" Roonie said.

Hyce was about to talk again when Isaac and Teal suddenly came out of another wing of the shop.

Hyce's eyes turned surprising immediately.

"Yo! Isaac!" He stood, pushing the tattooist with him away.

"Hey" Isaac muttered.

"We should talk" Hyce took his arm.

"But...

"Teal can wait, sure?" Hyce faced her

"Yeah" Teal sat, and Hyce pulled Isaac away.

Almost immediately, Roonie's phone buzzed in his hand.

His brows lifted when he saw the screen cos he knows who exactly it is.

It's a number saved as P.

He swiped green easily.

"Banks? Banks where are you? I've been trying your line" Pearl said breathlessly.

He could hear the fear in her voice.

He stood tall, his 6'5 height towering above everyone standing.

"What has happened?" He asked gently.

"We should meet right now and...

"What... happened?" He asked again, and he heard her suck in a breath before talking.

"Roonie's club took Lizzy, and they want me to bring you to them before they let go of her" she said impatiently, and he sat back.

"So you're not the one in trouble" he said.

"Banks I...

He cut the call before she could say the rest, and Axel faced him.

"Pearl?" He asked suspiciously.

"No" Roonie replied, and Teal looked up.

She looks like she wants to talk, but she kept it in and went back to pressing her phone.

Pearl's call began ringing in Roonie's phone again, but this time, he ignored, stroking his crotch calmly.

He was staring into space, debating various things in his head till the third ring happened.

This time, he picked the call.

"I really have no other choice, Banks. I know we're not friends but I'll pay you back if you can just follow me" she said, and he stood again.

"Come to Pedro tattoos" he said, walking out of the shop.

He only had to wait for two minutes before her taxi showed up, and she rushed down, forgetting to pay the driver.

"My cash, miss!" The man shouted, and she had to run back to pay.

Roonie's eyes dazzled for a minute...so cute.

She ran back to him, but as usual, she maintained a distance.

"They sent me this address" she showed him her phone screen, and he walked to his motorbike, bringing out an extra helmet which he threw at her.

She caught it, her hair covering her face in the process. She had to start sweeping it back with her palm.

"Am i riding the bike with you?" She asked, looking pale.

"You can't?" His eyes darkened.

"I... actually...

"If you won't, then I can just go back to minding my business" he said without smiling, climbing the bike.

He put on his helmet.

"I have problems staying close to guys" she said.

"But you were fine when you sat on my dîck last time" he replied rawly and her eyes widened.

She quickly rushed to him.

"Anyone might hear that and start thinking otherwise, keep it down!" She said through her teeth.

He maintained the expressionless glare, and she looked at the helmet with her.

Reluctantly, she put it on, and she totally held her breath before climbing behind him.

She made sure there's space between their seats, but immediately he moved the bike and she almost fell off, she slid back to his back, her arms wrapping instinctively around him.

Roonie smirked darkly in his helmet, his eyes twitching as he drove them down the road.

Meanwhile, Hyce and Isaac are still somewhere in front of the shop, talking.

"Nice tattoo" Hyce suddenly said, and Isaac looked at his new forearm tattoo

"Thank you" he said brightly.

"And I like the pants too" Hyce continued.

"Thanks, bro" Isaac replied.

"Was thinking, maybe...we could hangout sometime?" Hyce said, rubbing his nape.

"Wait..." Isaac suddenly narrowed his eyes, and Hyce sighed.

"I'm straight, I swear" Isaac quickly said.

"You can...

"Hundred percent, I'm straight. Ciao!" Isaac said and left hurriedly.

Teal joined him, and they left in his car.

Axel came out to Hyce with a mocking look on his face.

"He's straight?" He chuckled.

"Where did Banks go?" Hyce asked, obviously avoiding the question.

"No fuçking idea" Axel frowned.
