A roar of laughter filled the shop, I could literally feel the purple wall's shaking. "Come on man!" Another burst of laughter erupted in the little tattoo shop. My hand grabbed on the dark oak wood of the desk as I nearly toppled from the black work chair onto the black and white tailed floor. "Ma'am What in the world is so funny!" a young boy asked. His dirty blond hair falling into his eyes. The laughter calmed for a moment. He had come in with his father the moment after we all started, "son, a wonderful artist of ours had, how do we say" I looked towards a fellow artist for a help with the words that had escaped me. "He had, a blond moment" the boy simply nodded. He had no idea what we were talking about. We all busted up laughing, Filling the room. Slowly our laughter calmed into a few giggles here and there. "So, how can I help you?" I managed to laugh out. "Hi, I have an appointment with Chad." "Let me check" I turned towards the large book with the days of the week and times, moving the Gas Chamber Inc pen. I looked at the clock that ticked. In my mind it clashed with the purple walls with a canary yellow clock. Yuck2:30 p.m. I looked down at the book yet again. "Mark?" I said looking at the man. I hadn't gotten a good look at him. "Uh, No Steven bell" I looked down. "Wrong week, sorry" I turned the page, It was clearly a Monday at work. "Ah there you are. One moment" The tall man nodded. As I walked away I couldn't help but think I knew the man. "Chad, Steven is your next client" "thank's sky" I smiled and started cleaning his station. The man stood with a child, at least eight years old. I hadn't lived in my home town for at least that by now. I shook my head slightly as I continued to clean Chad's station. He couldn't have been my woods teacher how many years back. He looked like him though. Tall, muscular, I knew those scars, he got them from an accident. I watched as the man I thought was my teacher moved around. Shorts, I looked at his right calf, tribal dragon tattoo. That has to be him. I knew the hair, I knew the eyes. I shook my head yet again, I was probably just imagining things. I walked through the doorway of Chad's station, across the large room to the garbage, throwing out the things that needed to be thrown. I smirked as "Use somebody-Kings of Leon" started playing from the speakers that were all around the room. I smiled as I seen the little boy singing along. Once Chad's station was all set up, I walked over to the young boy. Steven was sitting on the couch, along with his son. "So, Have you ever been in a tattoo parlor before?" The boy looked at me. "no," "well, would you like to look around, my my, I have not asked your name" "Its Max" "well Max, would you like a tour of the place?" He looked over at his dad that was sitting looking at Shannon's portfolio. "Dad can I?" "Sure thing, Go look around with Skylar" I looked at the man, "You know my name?" "Yeah, Chad told me" "Makes sense, Alright come on Max" I chimed at the same time as the doors opened once more. "Hey!" I looked at Nikki. "Hey sis" "hey, watcha doing?" "Taking Max here for a little tour" "cool" I nodded in agreement. "Alright Max, let's get going"
Whoa Yeah!
The roar of the crowd was louder than it had been lately. I smiled as my music hit. Filling the venue we were playing. As I ran out the adrenalin, excitement and energy of the crowed felt as if it was racing through my veins. The WWE crowd was going crazy. Chanting, cheering. I high fived the outstretched fan's hands as I passed them. "I love you!" A man wearing a blue shirt called to me. I smiled noticing that the design of red face paint that was plastered on his old looking face was the same as mine, from the week before. I felt my cheeks warm a bit. I guessed that they had turned a pink color but underneath the mass amount of face paint that was on my face no one could tell. I felt the floor dip underneath my feet, going into a slight slant. Looking up I seen the ring in front of me. I smirked and lifted my self onto the apron. My hands grasping the orange ring ropes, which tonight were rougher than normal, and stiffer. Looking at the mat I seen the blood and sweat from the other matches. I was one of the only Diva's who would wrestle against the biggest, most hard hitting men in the business. Besides my sister. As I got the crowed worked up even more, I seen the lights start to dim. Once they were dark I got down and started to stretch while my sister ran out towards the ring. This would be our biggest match together yet.
Whoa Yeah!
I sat with Nikki as Max was with his father. "So, how do you feel after last week?" I turned the chair towards Nikki. A smirk was playing on her lips. "I'm sore and you" She smirked yet again. "So am I" I rolled my eyes as I heard the chimes chime as someone walked in. I looked up. "Hey babe!" I smiled as Jeff hardy walked in. "Hey" Then I seen her. Beth Britt, Jeff's girlfriend. "Hi Beth" She made a face in my direction. I was about to say something when I felt Nikki's tight grasp on my wrist. "Skylar, No" My head snapped towards Nikki. "Why not" "because I said so. And your at work" "Shannon will understand, so will everyone else" "That's not the point at the moment. Your at work, there are children in here." "So" "Skylar!" I glared once more before dropping down onto the chair to get back to work. There was a lot that needed to be done.
I was checking over the list of inventory, we had a lot that needed to be bought. I went onto the sight where we bought almost all of our material's when Beth walked over and sat down. I wasn't exactly that fond of Beth but we'd talk, sometimes. "So, How's wedding planning going?" I felt my ears perk up at the question. Why was she asking Beth that, while I was sitting behind her? "It's going great, We should be married by next month" "Well of course, Y'all set the date for June 27" Beth laughed, "that's very true" I continued to click place in my basket for every item we needed until I heard Shannon call my name. Rising to my feet I looked to my left, Shannon sitting there "Yes?" "Can you get me some paper towels?" "Yeah" I turned towards the two women sitting behind me "excuse me" they both moved out of my way as I headed to wash my hands and get Shannon some more paper towels. I glided across the room with ease, paper towels in hand. "Thanks sky" I smiled, "No problem"
