A Kiss That Taste Like Summer (Tony Perry)

My mind was running wild. I didn't even notice the person standing at the counter. I didn't wanna be at work. I wanted to be with Tony. He's been texting me all day waiting for me to get off work. I just wanna leave this place and go. But I can't do that. All my hard work that shit I'v had to do just to be here. I decided I would go talk to Danny about it. If he wouldn't make me an artist then I'm gunna tell him I quit.

"Hey Danny, can we talk?" I say standing outside of his office. He sighs and waves me in.

"What is it you wanna talk about?" He says rolling his eyes at me and going back to whatever he was reading.

"Well I was just thinking. I'v been your apprentice for 3 years and I'm still not working. You know I can tattoo. You saw me do that piece on Tony's neck and you've seen my drawings..."

I was cut off by Danny say "I don't think your ready"

"Why wouldn't I be ready?"

"You dont got what it takes" he said looking up from what he was reading.

I was so mad I didnt know what to say. What does he mean I dont have what it takes? I have what it takes. I'm better than half the artist here and have more passion than all of them. "I have what it takes" I say one last time.

He scoots up closer to my face "Look Liz. Your not gunna be an artist"

"I quit" I said hissing in his face. I ran out of his office grabbed my things for the front desk and left. I got in my car and just started sobbing. All the effort and hard work I'v put into my work has gone to waste. Maybe I wasnt as great as I thought I was. Maybe I was a bad artist. My phone started going off from Tony texting me.

Tony: (:

Me: Can I please come over?

Tony: Yeah, why? What's wrong?

Me: I'll tell you when I get there.

Tony: Okay

I drove to Tony's house. I was no more that 15 minutes away. I was just wanting to see him smile. When I got to Tony's I sat in the car and fixed my make up. I looked like a raccoon. I wipped off all of my eyeline and mascara that had run from me crying. I pulled my hair up into a messing bun and made me way to the door. I took a deep breath and knocked on the door. I was greated my Tony wrapping his arms around me and kissing my head. I immediately started crying. He just held me. I split out everything that happened and how upset I was and he just listened. He let me get everything out and comfort me. He squezzed me a little bit tighter when my sobs because a little more intense. When I was done I just burried my face in his chest and whispered "I'm sorry"

He shook his head "You don't have to be. Your upset. Shit I would be too" he said with a laugh trying to lighten the mood.

I smiled at him and he leaned in and kissed me. Our lips moved in sync with eachother. Tony's kiss became more and more passionate. I ran my hands through his hair and me ran him hands down my back leaning me up against the wall. Everything else right now didnt matter to me. Only that I was with Tony. He pulled away from me a started so kiss my neck. He gave me a little bite and a let out a small moan. The I heard someone cough coming for the living room

"Yo Tony did you forget we were in here?" I heard a voice ask.

Tony immediately and looked up blushing.

"Who is that?" I whispered to Tony.

He pulled me into his arms and buried his face in my neck and started chuckling.

"Tony what the fuck is going on?" I said starting to get pissed off. He took my hand and led me down the hall torwards the living room. We walked around the corner to meet 3 other guys

"Liz this is Vic, Mike, and Jamie he said pointing at eachone of them so I knew their names.

"Hi" I said a little embarassed that they just heard me and Tony sucking face down the hall.

"Hi I'm Vic" said a guy with long brown hair combed to the side. He was wearing a beanie. He held out his hand for me to shake.

"Hey I'm Mike" said this tall skinny guy. He had long brown hair too and it was shaved on the sided like Tony's. He had some lip piercings and lots of tattoos. He pulled me into a hug which I thought was a little akward but whatever.

"And last but not least me." said the guys who had short and spikey hair. "I'm Jamie" he grabbing my hand and kissing it. They all started laughing. I didnt really know what to think or do.

"So it sounded like you guys were um getting busy" MIke said nudging Tony in the arm.

"Oh my god! I'm so embarressed about that" I said covering my face "I didnt know Tony had friends over"

Vic laughed and patted me on my shoulder "It's tottaly fine were only messing around with you"

"As long as Tony's happy were happy" said Jamie making kissy faces.

I started laughing and so didnt everyone else. Except Tony he was turning all red in the face.

"Okat that's enough guys it's time to go. I'm Liz doesnt want all you guys here with us. She came over so we could talk"

"Trying to get rid of us so soon Tony?" Vic said

"I feel bad your throwing your friends out just cause I'm here"

"No it's fine" Mike said "We've been here all day. It's time we head out anyways"

They all said their goodbyes to be and Tony and made their way out the door.

"I'm sorry I didnt tell they were here" he said rubbing the back of his head.

"It's fine" I said walking up to him and putting my arms around his neck.

"So where were we?" Tony said leaning into my neck.
