Chapter Twenty Four - Aaron

Letting Lark get into Bailey’s SUV was torture. If I had my way, she would move into the house and I’d enjoy every morning waking to that lovely smile. Instead, I watched her disappear around the corner, knowing I wouldn’t be alone with her again until next weekend.

Every morning Lark worked at the restaurant, I visited and stole a few kisses while she served me coffee and French toast. She was different now and I loved the changes. More confident, Lark smiled easily and often. Whenever she glanced at me and beamed in such a way, I knew she wasn’t faking anything. Lark was mine and wasn’t planning on letting me go.

The rest of my days were dull in comparison to those fleeting moments with Lark. Hanging out with Cooper was annoying because he kept talking about his sperm and his woman’s eggs. He knew I wanted him to shut up which was why he talked about it more.

After grabbing a sandwich with him where he described how he likely knocked up Farah the night before based on the sheer gallons of sperm he left inside her, I was fucking done talking to him for a while. Cooper just laughed and ate a second sandwich.

“You’re so jealous!” he yelled when I flipped him off and walked out.

Truth was I was jealous that he was with his woman and I had to wait days to see mine. I wasn’t admitting any of this to Cooper who was having too much fun at my expense.

Even before entering the tattoo shop, I heard Jade’s voice and my fellow artist didn’t yell unless someone was on her last nerve.

“You don’t know shit,” Jade hollered at Melissa who shrugged.

Sitting on the couch in the waiting area was Jade’s boyfriend Tony who worked as a bouncer at a local dive. The guy was huge and likely got help of the injection sort to get so buffed. Yet, he was a teddy bear with Jade and she cooed over his every boo boo. Now though, Tony was flipping through a People magazine while his woman schooled Melissa.

“The guy looked like trailer trash,” Melissa said. “No way does a guy with a mullet have the money to pay for a tat.”

“You can’t know what he does and doesn’t have if you don’t talk to him,” Jade nearly screamed. “Where do you get off judging?”

Sighing, I nodded at Tony who gave me a grin. The women ignored me though, so I stepped closer.

“Do we have to yell?” I said, turning on Professor Longhair. Who could argue through the legend singing Jambalaya? Apparently, these two chicks.

“She sent away a customer without even finding out what he wanted.”

“The guy was trailer trash.”

“Melissa,” I said calmly, always the voice of reason. “You can’t judge people based on their appearance. Haven’t we all dealt with enough prejudice over the years from being tatted?”

“I’m not tatted,” Melissa reminded me.

“Well, we are and this is our shop. Next time someone comes in looking for a tattoo, you have them talk to me or Jade.
