That Dragon Tattoo

I sat there in front of my computer, as frustrated as ever. I had a five page paper due within an hour, with only three pages written. I was getting nowhere, it wasn't my fault though. It was his! Well not directly, I guess you could say. Seeing as he had never even spoken a word to me, or even glanced in my direction. That didn't change the fact that my heart was pounding and my body on edge with the thought of seeing him in class within an hour. The only reason I continued with the crappy introduction to technology class. After all, I was very capable of turning on a computer myself. Though I must admit, it was an easy A for my college GPA. I was only a freshman, but you had to start early if you wanted everything to turn out right. I sighed and closed my eyes, thinking of his perfect features as I reluctantly finished typing the paper I luckily had memorized by heart. I pictured his deep emerald eyes, and bronze hair that I was dying to run my fingers through. My heart hummed as I thought of those gorgeous snake bites, the hoops wrapping perfectly around his thick full lips.

I jumped as my phone vibrating signaling I had ten minutes before class was to begin. I quickly hit the print button and grabbed my papers as that came from the printer. Snatching up my laptop and sliding it into its case I left my dorm. Glad my class was only a short walk from my room. A room that I had paid extra to ensure I had to roommate. There was nothing worse than an annoying roommate that you knew nothing about.

The moment I entered the room, I did my usual scan of the class, spotting him within seconds. I quickly scanned over him as I felt my breath catch in my throat. He had new ink, as if he wasn't hot enough, he had gotten a Japanese styled dragon wrapped up his right arm, the end around his wrist perfectly. The same tattoo I had admitted in a class discussion that I was obsessed with. Could this mean anything? I shook my head as I peeled my eyes off of him and made my way to the other side of the room, where I always sat. As far away from my favorite distraction as possible. I turned on my computer, and quickly went through the daily class assignments and began to work on the "first profile" assignment that was due next week. You would think a college professor would frown upon the thought of designing MySpace pages as a class assignment. But this teacher wasn't an average professor when it came to how he taught. It didn't take long to create the page and post it on the class bulletin so the others could add me. In fact, it didn't take me long at all seeing as I used my old account. I added the others that had been posted, and felt my heart thud the moment I added his. By scanning his profile I learned his name was Edward. Very suiting for him, and sexy. He was into body modification just as I was, and his pictures had a folder dedicated to his own modifications. I quickly scanned them until I can along the newest one, the dragon tattoo. In picture it looked amazing, the caption under it stating "From an inspiration of mine, I designed it myself." I sigh to myself as I realized I was detailing his tattoo to memory. It was a good thing no one could see my computer screen from where I was. This could be embarrassing if they were able too. I chewed on my lip as I nervously scrolled down the page to the comment section and clicked out a small comment on how cool it looked. After all it was part of our assignment to comment the others in the class. So I was just doing my work, right?

I flipped through the rest of his profile, taking note of his musical taste which seemed all over the place and noting the fact that from my observation he seemed to be single. Maybe I had a chance after all? If I could ever get up the courage to speak to him that is. I sighed as the teacher gave a short lecture, one I didn't listen to like always. We were dismissed after an hour and I quickly slid my laptop into its case as I felt someone come up behind me. I turned slightly, looking up at the figure to see the object of my obsession. My face turned red automatically.

"Thanks for the comment." He smiled warmly as he laughed, seeming to take note to my bright red face.

"I was only being honest. It's an amazing piece of work."

"I'm glad you like it, it took me about three weeks to design. You were my inspiration you know." He said as his lips tilted slightly into a crooked smile before he turned on his heel and left the room. I must have sat there, dumbfounded with my mouth open for several moments before going back to packing up my things. I had to hurry or I would be late for my job, and that was something I did not want. After all, it was a dream job for me.
