Will You Fall In Love Again?
I'm Afraid.
Mike and I have this need for each other, he has just come home from tour and we haven’t seen each other in 3 months. We are quick to rip each other’s clothes off and start kissing. I sit him down on the couch and nibble at his neck and the spot that drives him crazy. A moan escapes his lips and I feel him getting hard beneath me. I’ve longed for this. I’ve been craving it. I need it. I lower myself on him and start to grind slowly and passionately, letting moans escape both of our lips. We had a blanket from the couch round us and we stared at each other right in the eyes the whole time we made love. He clawed at my back and bit his lip. I’ve missed him so much. Everything about him.
“Mike you left this in my car- FOR FUCK SAKE!” Vic said, covering his eyes as he just caught us.
“Sorry bro, but we’re in love. Deal with it.” We laughed and Vic walked out of the house, shaking his head.
“So where were we?” Mike kissed me with a big goofy smirk on his face.
I sighed at the memory. That was 5 years ago, just after we got married. Since then we’ve had a beautiful daughter called Lucy Rose Fuentes. Rose being the name of my grandmother, who I loved so dearly. She is the double of Mike, everyone says it. She’s 3 years old and has hardly any memories of her father. Yeah. That’s right. Mike left. I don’t know why, or what I done to make him do it but he just got up one day and he was gone. He left for tour and never came back, changed his number, his brother and my own best friends have ignored me ever since. This was a year ago. I filed for divorce 6 months ago; I have no love left for that bastard. I should have known. I should have trusted my gut instinct that he was going to fuck up again. Why didn’t I? Because I was a stupid fool, in love with the man of my dreams.
I have recently opened up my own tattoo place and I absolutely love it. I love being my own boss and getting up whenever I want really. I poured my heart and soul into that place. It means the world to me. I get ready for my day and let Lucy get ready too.
“Mamma, I have pancakes for breakfast?” she smiled at me and god knows I can’t resist it.
“Of course baby girl, I’ll make some with chocolate chips in it okay!”
“Mmm! You’re the best mama!” she sat down on the couch and started drawing with her little crayons.
She’s so cute. She makes me smile almost all day every day. I miss her when she’s at nursey and I’m at work. I would love to be able to cuddle her all the time.
We ate breakfast together and I dropped her off at nursery. I made my way into work and went straight to my office to make myself a cup of coffee and put my hair up for my first client. My hair is now bright pink and Lucy always tells me I look like a rockstar. She comes out with the funniest things.
I’m almost done with my first client when I hear a familiar voice in the shop at the front desk. No fucking way.
*** MIKE’S POV ***
I’m back in San Diego after a world tour, finally! It feels good to be home. I need a new tattoo, I’ve been dying for one, and so I go into this new place that I’ve never really seen before, bringing Tony in with me.
“Hello! Do you have an appointment?” the woman at the front desk asks me with a smile. Wow. This place seems really cool; already I’m feeling like its warm and welcoming here.
“Uh, no sorry I do not. Do I need to make one or could I have anything done today by anyone? I’m not too bothered on the artist” I smiled at her.
“Well, let me check the appointment book and I’ll see what we can do…” she flicks through a book with different artists schedules on it for the day. “Hmm, there’s a time slot available in an hour if you want to wait, I’ll just need to let her know you’re here and do you know what you’re getting?” she looked back up at me.
“Yeah I do, thanks I think I’ll do that!” I smiled and sat down with Tony and we sat and talked for a while. Bright pink hair caught my eye and I looked up to see who it was, and I never thought I’d see her again. Fuck.
*** SCARLETT’S POV ***
He looked up at me and our eyes met. Rage is filling up through my body.
“You’re sure no one else can take him Mia? No one?” she shook her head at me apologetically, knowing why I didn’t want to tattoo him and I gestured for him to come with me. Mike and Tony got up and he told me what he was wanting and it was “Heart & Soul” on the front of his neck. I don’t even want to do this tattoo but I can’t just randomly refuse service to someone. I was allowed to freehand it and once he seen it and liked it he lay down and let me tattoo him. Most of it was in silence until he finally spoke up, voice a bit croaky.
“How’ve you been?” he looked scared for my reply.
“Fucking grand Mike. I’ve been amazing. It’s been just the best having to raise a little girl on my own and not have enough money to pay for that huge house so having to move to a small apartment. It’s great not knowing why the love of your fucking life left.” I seen a tear slide down his face. What the fuck did he have to cry about? “What about you?” I said as I got more ink, I could tell Tony felt tense, he hardly spoke at all and looked at me uneasy. He felt bad, I knew it. I gave him a weak smile, to let him know I didn’t care anymore, I was angry with Mike, not him.
“Uh, alright I guess.”
“Does this hurt?”
“Yeah it kinda does” he chuckled.
I mumbled a small “Good” before getting back to work and once he was done I left the seat and let him pay at the front desk. I didn’t even accompany him to the front desk. How unprofessional of me, but at this point I didn’t even care.
I felt an arm on my wrist as I went towards my office. Tony. I turned round to him with a weak smile, the same one as before and he hugged me.
“I’m so sorry Scarlett. I am. I didn’t want this. Here, call me tonight okay?” he slipped a piece of paper into my hands and turned away almost instantly.
What didn’t he want? I don’t get it. What the fuck? I suppose I’ll have to call him tonight and find out.
I’m afraid to say it because whenever I thought of bumping into Mike again I’d feel absolutely nothing, look amazing and feel like he was just a piece of shit. Unfortunately, I don’t think that’s the way I feel.
“Mike you left this in my car- FOR FUCK SAKE!” Vic said, covering his eyes as he just caught us.
“Sorry bro, but we’re in love. Deal with it.” We laughed and Vic walked out of the house, shaking his head.
