"Nervous?" I looked over at Harry. He was starring off into space. "Hm?" He looked over at me. I laughed dryly and repeated myself, "Are you nervous?" I asked again. "Oh! Yeah a bit," he shrugged and started to mess with his phone. I chuckled and stared at all the pictures on the walls. I was with Harry in LA to get his first tattoo. I came with him so he wouldn't flip on the artist when he gets the needle out.
"Harry?" A tall muscled man with both arms covered in ink asked. We both stood up and walked into the back. We weren't alone in the back room. A girl was straddling a chair leaning her chin on the back. She was getting her back done. She looked up and I was taken back. She had the most gorgeous blue-green eyes. She gave me a small smile. Her dark brown and what looked like purple hair was pulled up into a messy bun on the top of her head. She had a hoop nose ring, a couple smaller tattoos on her wrists. She was so different and I loved it.
"Sit down there and take your shirt off," the artist said. Harry looked over to the girl. I guess I wasn't the only one who noticed her.
"Don't worry, I don't bite," she chuckled lightly and Harry smiled at her and pulled off his shirt and set down. I set beside him and watched as the guy who I learned was named Mitch put the stencil on his arm. Then, he began working his magic.
"So what are you getting this time Miss Harmony?" Mitch asked as he traced the tattoo on Harry's arm. I glanced over at the girl who was named Harmony and she looked over at Mitch.
"Just an owl," he scoffed.
"What a girl," Harmony gasped playfully at him.
"If you haven't noticed I am a girl." She giggled and looked at me. "So do you have any?"
"Uh, yeah, I have this," I showed her the one on my arm. "And I have one on my chest and I'm planning on getting more." She nodded approvingly.
"Nice," she furrowed her brow at me. "Where you from?" That's when I realized she didn't know who me and Harry were.
"London. But originally Bradford," I told her she smiled.
"Awesome. I wanna go there bad," she said smiling. Her smile was something. It made the already bright room, brighter.
"So do you have any other tattoos?" Harry asked trying to keep his composure.
"Yeah a couple," she said nonchalantly.
"She's been coming here since she was 18. I've never seen someone that young devoted to getting inked," Mitch chuckled and wiped away at Harry's arm.
"I practically save all the money I get for tattoos and concert tickets," she smiled at us both.
"So what do you do?" I asked trying to keep conversation going.
"I'm an aspiring musician and singer. But for now I just work at this music store down the road,"
The man who was tattooing her spoke up after wiping her back, "Harmony can play a killer guitar." She laughed at him.
"Rick you are too much," She sat up and pulled her tank top. I tried not to stare at her boobs but it was hard..She was wearing a purple bra and her top was pulled down so she could get the tattoo done. She walked over to the mirror and stared at it in awe. It was a pretty good size tattoo and was on her left shoulder. She smiled and hugged Rick.
"Thanks man! It is wicked," she went back to her spot on the chair and got it covered by plastic wrapping and pulled her tank top back up. I'm thankful for that otherwise I wouldn't be able to control myself. Sorry.
"I'll see you guys around one day. It was nice meeting you...?"
"Zayn. And he's Harry," I smiled up at her. She nodded and smiled.
"See ya around..Zayn," she winked and left.
"Damnnnnnnnn," Harry said laughing.
~ It is so short because this is like a couple weeks before the actual story begins. How the boys meet her.
