Chapter Eighteen

Dear Harlow:

My boyfriend only cares about getting himself off in bed. I love him, but I have needs too. How should I handle this?

~Unfulfilled in Minnesota~

Dear Unfulfilled:

Be blunt, and if he can’t give you what you need, dump him.

Good luck,

Harlow

Harlow

Harlow sighed in relief as she walked into the air conditioned lobby of Misfit Tattoo. It was Friday, the Friday, when she was going to finish her tattoo then go out with Toby. She had butterflies in her stomach at the thought of the finished product on her skin. It meant so much to her: a permanent, beautiful mark that represented life and death intertwined, but it also represented her daughter, in a way. Her precious little girl’s memory, that was. It also hid a few of the many scars she struggled with. Then there was Toby—a conundrum of a man she couldn’t seem to resist with his sexy good looks, big heart, dedication, and loyalty. But she was also drawn to his darker side. She could recognize the internal struggle inside his gaze, as if he understood her sense of loss and grief. A kindred spirit with whom she also had a deep connection. It might have been her need to help people, including herself, that made that draw more enticing because everyone has those demons inside somewhere. He was just another fellow broken soul who she happened to be falling for fast and hard. Some of the excitement she endured by being there today was also for the man himself.

They’d been busy with work but had talked several times over the week since she’d made the first move by calling him. She looked around at the few people seated in the lobby looking through books, cleared her throat, and pasted a big smile on her face as she approached Rebel and Dee, who looked quite cozy together behind the counter. “Hey, guys. I’m sorry to interrupt.”

Rebel winked, and the beautiful receptionist blushed. “Nice to see you, Harlow. I’ll just let Toby know you’re here.” He walked backward, addressing Dee. “We’ll talk more later. You can count on it.”

“Thanks, Rebel. It’s nice to see you again, too.” Harlow waved, then arched a brow at her colorful friend with curiosity. “So, you and Rebel, huh?”

“When there’s something to tell, I’ll let you know.” Her friend held up a hand and fanned her face as if to imply there definitely would be a story to tell later.

“You go, girl!” Harlow giggled as Dee gave her a high five. “Hey, what’s Mel up to? I was hoping to say hello.”

Dee pointed behind her. “She’s in back doing a Prince Albert.”

“A Prince who?”

“You’re hilarious.” Dee chuckled. “It’s a piercing on a guy’s…” When she pointed to her crotch, it was Harlow’s turn to blush.

“Well, okay, then.” She cleared her throat. “That sounds painful.”

They both turned to the sound of Carson’s voice coming from the hallway in the back. “Well, well, well. If it isn’t two of my favorite women.” He winked and strode toward Harlow until he stood in front of her.
