My nerves were on end as we arrived at the shop for our shift. I hadn’t seen much of Jensen since we had woken up together and I wasn’t sure what I was going to say to him or how to act around him. I was a mess and had done little in the last two days to get my shit together. If I hadn’t been such a coward on Sunday, I could have sat him down and we could have talked. Maybe it would have made things a little easier.

When we arrived at the shop, I told Saw to go ahead while I pretended to look for something in my backpack. I needed a moment alone to gather myself before I went inside. If I didn't get my head on straight, I might end up going in there and making an idiot of myself. I willed all emotion down, pushing it as far back as I could.

When I felt like I could do this, I headed inside. Just inside the door, I faltered. Jensen was sitting behind my desk looking as if he were expecting me. I mustered up a small smile and forced my feet to move forward.

When I settled into the seat beside him, he opened his mouth to speak. Before he could get a single word out, I took us both by surprise when I threw my arms around him. He stiffened in my arms before wrapping his around me in return.

“Luv,” he murmured in my hair.

“I’m sorry for avoiding you.” My voice was barely a whisper.

“You have nothing to apologize for,” he assured me. He pulled back to look me in the eyes, but I couldn’t meet his eyes.

“My head has been all over the place,” I confessed.

“No worries, luv. I understand,” he smiled.

“So, we’re fine?” I needed reassurance.

“We’re fine.” I nodded and moved away from him.

I wanted to say more, but wasn’t sure what to say and I was afraid that I would turn into a blubbering mess and make a full of myself. I sat back in my chair looking around spotting a binder I’d never seen before.

“What’s this?” I asked, turning to look at Jensen.

He grinned at me and flipped the binder open. “It’s my portfolio. I don’t have any appointments and we aren’t likely to be busy today, so I thought maybe you’d like to see my work.”

“Yes! Of course!” I pulled the binder towards me examining the pictures.

He was very talented, a fact I was aware of. I’d seen many of his pieces on customers who had come and gone, but these were some of the best he had ever done. There were so many and with every turn I found a picture of a tattoo I loved more than the last. The were amazing. He was amazing.

When I turned to the last page, I was surprised at what I found. It was a beautiful piece. Easily my favorite of them all, thought it wasn’t a picture of a tattoo he had done, but something he had draw on paper.
