Chapter3

#Chapter3

It's been three days since I saw Charlotte and six since I went to the tattoo parlor, I'm back to my boring life only this time I walk Zeus every day and my new route includes the coffee shop and the tattoo parlor. It was stupid but he wanted to see that man with golden hair and tattooed skin again (which was obviously another stupid thing because the windows of the place were tinted) but he couldn't help hoping to find him walking down the street or smoking a cigarette.

But no luck.

Not even Charlotte mentioned it, of course I didn't ask her but she talked a lot about boys, but she talked even more about that blonde named Nathan who made her cheeks turn red even though she claimed that they would never be together and that they were just friends which made me want to kill her. So we got into an endless argument about whether or not I should tell her how I felt.

Today I wasn't going to go out, it was Saturday and I didn't really want to go out for a walk so I rolled up my sheets and looked for something new to watch on Netflix. Everything was going well, I was three episodes into an old series I had never seen before when my phone rang announcing a new message from Char.

Char:

Hey B, let's go 2 a club tonight, join?

I rolled my eyes at his poor handwriting and typed in a quick reply.

I'm not in the mood, it will be for the next one. Sorry.

My phone vibrated a few seconds later.

Don't make me go all the way and involve your mom, she will definitely side with me ;)

Dammit! She really knows how to play dirty, my mother of course would be more than happy for me to spend a night out getting drunk like a normal girl my age.

Well, you win.

I'll drop by you in half an hour! lv

Yes of course, you love me. Moron.

With all the hassle in the world I got up to pick out something decent to wear, nothing too sexy or edgy though. I wore high-waisted black skinny pants, simple black heels, and a white silk shirt with maybe too much cleavage. A little black eyeliner, mascara and lipstick, done! I grabbed my bag and ran downstairs when I heard the sound of a car in the driveway and stopped in front of my mom who widened her eyes.

/"Will you go out?/" I rolled my eyes and kissed her cheek.

/"Yes, and I'd love to discuss that but I have to go, bye!/"

/"Have fun honey!/" I mumbled an /"uh-huh/" to my mom and ran out the door, a black 4x4 waiting out front, Charlotte rolled down the passenger window and motioned for me to get in the back.

/"I must say you look hot,/" that was the greeting from Dylan who also looked really hot wearing a gray sweater, tight black pants and vans, his hair was messy and he had a bright smile on his face.

/"Well, I must say the same, boy./" He giggled and shook his head. I greeted Nate who looked beyond handsome in a tight white shirt that showed off every damn muscle on his chest, loose jeans, and biker boots. I gave Char a kiss and pulled her pretty green hair as revenge for bringing me but she just smiled, she looked stunning and colorful as usual in a too tight pastel yellow dress and matching shoes, she looked like a carnival of colors!

/"I'm sure I'm older than you, baby./" I shot Dylan a dirty look and pursed my lips in annoyance.

‘’I'm 19’’

/"And I'm 20,/" he said, raising an eyebrow and giving me a satisfied smile.

/"You made it a week ago, idiot,/" Nate interrupted and I smiled, Dylan rolled his eyes but didn't lose his smirk.

/"I'm still older.

/"Only for two months!/" I stuck my tongue out at him like a little girl and he did the same, I heard Charlotte complaining because we were babies but it didn't matter so I just laughed like crazy with Dylan. After a while we arrived at one of those bars with live music and the smell of beer and sweat. Charming.

/"I don't know how I let Nate talk me into coming here,/" Char told me as we walked around looking for a table, I leaned in close to his ear and whispered.

/"Because even if he asked you to go to the moon you would have said yes in less than a second./" She pushed me and I laughed, the boys pointed to a booth and walked straight there, we had to run to catch up. I almost tripped over my own feet when I saw who was sitting there.

This is not a time to panic.

But damn, I'm panicking!

Will, the super intimidating boss of inked was sitting with a beer in his left hand, his beard looked shorter and he was wearing an old Slipknot t-shirt, next to him was my man (not that he was really mine) looking amazing in a gray sweater that fit in all the right places, her golden hair was tousled and a shade of golden fuzz covered her cheeks. I sighed internally because he was too handsome for his own good, then filled my lungs with air and steeled myself to approach them.

/"Hey guys/" I could hear that sweet little voice even through the noise that the men around me were making, I hate to admit that my whole body reacted when I saw her appear out of nowhere looking like an angel in black and white, my fingers itched by the need to capture all that beauty on some canvas.

She looked at Will and raised her hand in a small wave, then looked at me, her smile fading for a second. Damn, I keep scaring her. She recovered quickly and gave me a crooked smile before sitting down on the seat across from me.

/"Hey Brooklyn,/" Will said matter-of-factly. So that was his name, Brooklyn, it was nice.

‘’What are you going to drink?’’ Nathan asked, focusing all his attention on Charlotte like the lovesick idiot that he is.

/"I want a beer,/" Dylan said, and Will immediately scowled at him.

/"You're not of legal age./" Dylan looked at Brooklyn and then they both put their heads together and made puppy dog eyes and pouted at Will, I must admit that's a face I couldn't say no to and apparently Will couldn't either because he sighed and he cursed under his breath. /"Only one. And you better get rid of those idiotic faces, both of you!/"

They burst out laughing when Will stood up and there was a weird flutter in my stomach that I didn't like when I heard Brooklyn laugh, I could almost feel her perfume reaching me and that only served to upset me more, I had to fucking get out of here.

‘’What is the matter with him?’’ I heard her sweet voice ask Dylan as soon as I got up and walked away a bit.

/"That's just Chris being a total jerk, as usual...

I couldn't hear the rest because I had already walked away.
