Carter P.O.V


"Yeah so a little to the left, no other way, my left. MY LEFT CARTER!" my bestfriend yells at me
"My god Crystal which way? Why dont you just do the stupid thing. Im done" i through the sign down
"You are just soooooooo stubborn. Im just trying to help" she mutters


I roll my eyes at her and light a cigarette. I seriously do not understand why its so hard to hang a sign. Is it my right that is her left? Or my left that is her right? I do not know. Our relationship is actually a relationshit. We arent really together, we're just eachothers lesbian lover when a guy that has a smaller dick comes around because 2/3 of it is in his personality. So almost everyday.


My dog, K.O., comes around for me to scratch his ears. He began to lick my fingers which caused me to groan in annoyance. Slobber and drool were hanging out of his mouth. Im not ready for this. Im not ready for alot of things. Like when theres a cliffhanger on my shows. Like really people, go ruin someone elses lives your own size. Jerks.


I hear the shop phone ring so i put out my cigarette and answer it, because Crystal is lazy.
"C.C's Needles&Ink. This is Carter speaking" i answer in a chirpy tone
"Hi yeah um, im Alan. I was wondering about a tattoo?"
"Well Alan, what about a tattoo? How can we help?"
"Well i was sort of wondering if i could come by, are you guy's open? I would just like to look at some options. Im looking bare"
"Oh sure! Were open from 8-10 on weekdays and 9 to 11 on weekends."
"Great! So ill see you guys in about 30 minutes"
"See ya then Alan" i hang up


I scratch my neck and grab my monster. Crystal was busy away on her phone, that ment im the one who is going to do all the work. Dont get me wrong, Crystal is a big help when it comes to like numbers, shipments, and shopping. Im just the one who does the physical work.


I tidy up all of Crystal and mine's artwork. Drawing, sketches, and photos of previous customers artworks. The ones that me and Crystal done. There was one, it was like a matching couple artwork. Where you both get it done. Or just single like me.
It had two skeletons in it, one male and one female. The female had roses around her, the male had spiders. I really like it.


I hear the shop bell scream. Yeah, scream. It doesnt ring. I also hear K.O. bark. So the Alan dude must be here. K.O. always lets us know if someone is around. He barks. Hopefully Crystal got up and helped him, i was sort of stuck on a table that was wobbling.
I set one foot down then it all fell. I let out a squeal along with the crash. Which caused K.O. to come back here. He began licking and biting my clothes. Pulling me.
He does that alot. He's really strong. So im pretty sure he can drag my fat ass.


"You fell, didnt you?" Crystal laughs, i was on my back while K.O. had the neck of my shirt.
"I dont want to talk about it. Is Alan here?" i groan
"The ginger headed cutie? Then yes, yes he is" she laughs
"I guess? Ive never saw him before. He called the shop earlier" i finally get up
"So you dont have dibs?"
"Crystal! Alan im so sorry"
"It's fine. I dont really mind. You both are some cuties", i roll my eyes at his comment
"Anyways, what do you need help with?" i smile
"Actually, just some of your works"
"I can do that! Carter why dont you take the rest of the day off?"
"Bu-" im confused
"You look tired"
"But i-" i protest
"See you later babe" she pushes me out my door, along with my phone and cigarettes


Okay, so i guess im taking the rest of the night and day off. Which is fine, i needed to grab some cigarettes and gas before home. I get in my jeep and drive to the gas station closest to my house. Which was only like a few miles down from the shop.
I get out and walk inside. I pay for my gas and ciggs then walk out, only to run right into someone.


"Ow" my elbow hit the brick
"Oh God i am so sorry. I didnt even see you there. You're just so short and im such a clumsy guy" the dude apologizes, I still havnt glanced up
"No, its fine. I shouldve been watching" i rub my elbow
"Im Austin" he holds out a hand for me to shake
"Im Cart...er" i had to pause in my name when i looked up. He looked so familiar


I must have looked like shit because he was also looking at me wide eyed.
"Mhmyoumhlookmhmher" he jumbles together quickly
"What?" i could only make out 'You' and 'Look' and 'Her'
"Sorry, you, uhm, have pretty blue eyes" he walks off, leaving me dumbfounded
"Thanks i guess" i mutter under my breath


I go back to my car and put my things away. I pump my gas just to see that Austin guy watching me. He waved a bit before turning away to get in his car.
I do the same and drive home. Still that face cluttered my mind and thoughts. Causing me to miss my house and keep driving. I back up and finally park. I walk to our mailbox and see that there were envelopes. Bills. I'll use Crystal's money. I mean her family is loaded. Im sure that a few hundred of dollars wouldnt hurt.


I open my front door and get attacked by Dobey. Well, not really. Just in sniffs and licks. I scratch behind his ears and make some baby noises with my mouth. I open the backdoor so he could go pee. I heard someone say name name, so i walked back out.


"Well hello there Mrs. Hampton, how's your day going?" i wave and smile at my neighbor. She hates my guts for some reason
"Hello Carter. My day is going dandy. Not that its any of your concern" she mutters
"Just being friendly"
"Then tell your dog to quit scaring my little kitty every time it walks over"
"Dobey is a guard dog. A dog that guards. A guarding dog that guards territory. Do i need to spell this out or perhaps write it down?" i smile sweetly at her before walking back inside.
