I shake my head "I shouldn’t"

He nods "You shouldn’t But you are" He motions me forward "He’s in the back"

It’s like my feet have a mind of their own I walk toward the back of the store, and the girl at the front desk shoots nore her There’s a curtain in the back of the shop, and I’ that’s where he is I push it slowly to the side He can’t hearaway But there’s a wo in front of her with his arht breast

"Shit," I say I feel like sout The lady on the table startles and Logan looks up I have no choice but to leave I’ve done nothing but think about this , and he’s with one of his skanks I knew he had theht to claim him I didn’t even plan to come and find him Paul insisted Did Paul knohat I would walk into?

Paul steps intowith his body in front of me

I put up my hands to ward him off I can’t take a deep breath, et to the front door, Logan runs fro after an reaches for rip

Tears are stinging the backs of my lashes I don’t knohy they are But they are And I don’t want hi me to wait I can’t wait If I wait, he’ll see me break down

He takes rip and starts to tow me toward the back of the store He pushes the curtain to the side, and I see that the wo exactly like he left her Only now she’s holding a thin piece of paper over her breasts "Hi," she says He points toward a chair and indicates that he wants me to sit

I shake ain I drop into it because I feel like s won’t hold me up anymore and that’s the only reason

He turns back to the wo her nipple I look away "It’s all right," the woman says "He did beautiful work I don’ta tattoo Of course he is All the breath rushes fro a tattoo I look over his shoulder as he’s finishing up He’s not just tattooing her nipple The tattoo is her nipple What the hell?

"Double an does free tattoos forher brsts out "What do you think?"

They look like real nipples The shading around the edges is perfect, and he’s drawn a si simple about it It’s a work of art The color is the same shade as her lips, and I can’t believe how real they look "Wow," I say What do you say? Nice nipples? Beautiful boobs? "That’s aan holds up a mirror for her, and she looks from one to the other "They’re perfect!" she squeals She throws her ar over her shoulder ata kiss on the top of her breast Her eyes fill up with tears, and so doto show everybody," she says She holds the paper over her brsts as she walks out into the shop The girl that runs the front of the shop comes over to admire them, and Paul pretends to look everywhere but at her boobs There’s no one in the shop, but I get the feeling she wouldn’t care if there was

"She wanted to feel sexy again," he says quietly, yanking the curtain so that we’re behind it

"You did beautiful work" I bat ainst my shins, not sure what else to say It really was re and the colors and the way they fit the size of her new brsts – it was all perfect

"She needed thes He’s so hu so pleased She tugs her shirt over her head and takes money out of her purse "I don’t have much," she starts

He presses it back into her purse, shaking his head

"He won’t take it," I say

She narrows her eyes at an on the cheek, waves at me and leaves

He starts to clean up his supplies He looks over at me out of the corner of his eye and says, "Why are you here?"

I opento say I close it again He stops and leans his hip against the table, crossing his arms over his chest

"Can I buy you dinner?" I blurt out I have no idea where that caan

"What do you want to eat?" I ask as we leave the shop Kit asked Paul to join us, but I think he saw the pleading in my eyes when I looked in his direction I need some time alone with her I need to take her on a date Technically, she asked me out, but I’d never let her buy dinner for

I realize I have no idea what she likes "Italian?" I point to an Italian restaurant on the corner byatto come back" I hold the door open for her, and she walks into the dark restaurant ahead of me The waitress leads us to a corner booth and she slides in across frouitar under the table, banging me in the shin with it in the process "I’ She’s suddenly unco ? "What did you do today?" I ask

Heat creeps up my cheeks She’s so damn pretty

The waitress comes to the table with menus, and lays one in front of each of us "Welcome," she says "Do you want to know our specials?" She blinks atto catch my eyes I make it a point not to look at her

Kit nods in answer to her question She rattles off some menu items and their prices, and I see Kit reach into her pocket and count herher buy dinner

"What can I get for you to drink?"

Kit arches a brow at et"Root beer?" she asks

I nod The waitress leaves us with the two menus I open mine and she doesn’t "Do you knohat you want?" I ask

"What are you having?" She smiles at me

I open the other menu in front of her and point to the word at the top "What do you see when you look at that?"
