True Love.
Dos.
“I feel like we should go out and get you furniture soon.” Mike said, hovering over me whilst I was doing someone’s tattoo.
“Oh yeah, with all that money I have.” I said, sarcasm hinting in my voice. Mike laughed, shaking his head and walking away to speak to a client that was at the front desk.
“Is that your boyfriend?” my client, whose name I have now found out is Claire, asked me.
I laughed, “Oh no, not all. We’re just friends.” I smiled.
“Really?” she asked, “The way he looks at you would suggest otherwise.”
I shrugged and laughed it off. What way did Mike look at me?
“In the way that he thinks you’re beautiful. It’s so obvious that he likes you.” Claire answered my question I hadn’t even realised I’d said aloud.
“Oh.” I blushed, “I didn’t realise I’d actually said that.” I laughed, “Nah, it’s nothing more than friends, love.” I smiled at her and wiped over her tattoo. “There we go, all done! You were a trooper. I nearly cried like a baby getting my ribs done.” I said to her, smiling.
“Thank you so much, I love it!” she gasped. “My friend wants to get a tattoo here but everyone was booked up, I’ll definitely let her know about you.”
“Aw thank you, that’s very sweet of you Claire.” I said, giving her a hug.
Once finished giving her a talk on how to take care of her tattoo, I walked her out to the front desk for her to pay. I stood behind the counter whilst she put her cardigan on and looked through her bag for her purse.
Mike slung his arm round my waist and I looked up at his grinning face. “You’re such a goof, get off.” I laughed.
“She wants me really.” He said to Claire.
I blushed, “I really don’t. Asshole.” I playfully glared at him, pushing him away whilst he laughed. Claire handed me the money and I thanked her.
“He really wants you.” she laughed. I shook my head and laughed whilst she walked away and I was finally on my lunch break. I grabbed my purse and walked over to the front desk where Laura was.
“I’m taking my lunch break now.” I said, waving goodbye to her.
I walked for about 15 minutes until I seen a little Starbucks and I walked in. I ordered a Caramel frappe and some salad thing that looked nice. I sat down once I’d paid and got everything and tucked in. It was a really warm day today, and I was sort of regretting wearing jeans. But hey, I’ll adapt to the heat, right? Once I was finished I seen a cute little shop across the road and I decided, why not?
I walked in, admiring the music that was playing, the girl’s clothes surrounding me – just everything. It was such a lovely shop. I looked around at some of the clothes and decided I had way more than enough clothes for just now. I went up the stairs to where the furniture and cute accessories appeared to be. The first thing I spotted was a make-up bag with an adorable little kitten on it (I was either a cat in a past life or I'm just simply a crazy cat lady), I picked it up, deciding I had to have it. I carried on my adventures throughout this beautiful shop, next spotting some pretty cushions that go with the bedding I already have. I picked up one of each and grabbed a basket that was near the beginning of the stairs, putting my items so far in it.
I walked around a little more and seen some candles, they were shaped as little flowers. I have dozens of Yankee Candles in my unpacked boxes in the house, and whilst I may never want to use these because they’re so cute, I picked them up and put them in my basket anyway. The last thing I fell in love with was a heart shaped floral memo board, I figured, since I’m always so forgetful, having a memo board wouldn’t be a totally bad thing. I’d also hoped that all my stuff had been shipped today, because tomorrow was my day off and my chance to start making my house a home.
I bought all of my items, nearly crying because I had close to no money left. I carried my bags back to the tattoo shop and walked to the back and sat them all down where no one could get them.
“You have a good lunch?” Laura asked as she passed me.
“Yeah.” I smiled.
“There’s a customer out front, if you wanna take him.” She said and I nodded, going towards the front desk and greeting my client.
“Hello Miss lady.” He said before I had the chance to look at him and I nearly squealed with excitement. I ran round the circular desk to hug him.
“Tony Perry!” I squealed as I jumped into his arms.
“How are you Sara? I spoke to your cousin the other day and he told me you moved out here!” he said as we hugged.
“I’m great, Tony, I’m really great. Moving out here was already the best decision I could have ever done.” I smiled.
“Oh I’m so glad. Well if you ever want to hang out some time, you know?” he said, smiling at me and holding my hand.
“Sounds good. Here, put your number in my phone.” I smiled, handing him my phone. He smiled back at me and took it, typing in his number.
“Tony! My man.” Mike said as he man hugged Tony. They got into a conversation about Tony's tattoo that Mike was doing and I drifted away in my thoughts.
Let me just tell you, Tony is my cousin’s old friend. My aunt and uncle moved over to London where we were when my cousin was about 15, and I was 13. Tony always kept in contact with him, and they often spent time together over the years. This also meant that I met Tony and we all used to hang out. However, apparently Tony liked me at one point. I didn’t feel the same, but we still stayed close as friends.
“How do you know Sara?” Mike asked as he put his arm round my shoulders.
“I was close with her and her cousin when we were younger.” He smiled down to me and I nodded. “Are you two together?”
I laughed, “Noo, Mike’s just a loser. How do you two know each other?”
“We’re in a band together, Pierce the Veil. You should check us out, Sara.” Tony smiled.
“I will do. See you guys later.” I said, as I walked down to greet a new customer who looked bored waiting.
“Oh yeah, with all that money I have.” I said, sarcasm hinting in my voice. Mike laughed, shaking his head and walking away to speak to a client that was at the front desk.
“Is that your boyfriend?” my client, whose name I have now found out is Claire, asked me.

Notes
So guys, I apologize for the lack of updates. My mum sadly lost her fight with cancer on the 19th September, and since then I've been doing my best to keep strong, thanks to all of my family, friends, and you guys on here. Any messages/comments I've gotten are amazing, and thank you all for every single one of them - I appreciate it. I felt like one of the only ways I'm going to keep myself sane is to put my heart back into writing these stories and pour my emotions out into them. I hope you all enjoyed this chapter, though xps, I know there's a lot of links in this chapter but I was actually shopping for new things and I seen these and thought you guys should see how cute some of the things were, ahaha :')
@cosette_
I'm sorry, I promise I will soon. But if you read my last authors note I hope it'll help you understand why I'm not updating that much.
