Chapter Twenty Eight: Surprises Continue
Heather sat in her room waiting for Shannon to come home from Matt's house. He didn't have to go to work until august, so he had a lot of time to take up. Settlement had gone and was over with by tomorrow then Heather could start working on her own shop. Shannon was supposed to come home and take her to the Gas Chamber so she could work for a little while, then she would come home and work on her designs. Heather liked working with the guys and Mandy at the Gas Chamber. Shane was one of the best tattoo artists she had ever met in her life. Mandy was great to hang out with. She and Heather could always talk about girl things. Mandy even said that she was glad there was another girl in the shop.
Shannon walked through the door and Heather grabbed her bag. She threw Shannon an apple and a towel and walked out the door. Shannon caught both and followed after her. Shannon put the fresh towel in the back of his Hummer.
"You're catching onto this life style quickly." Heather buckled up and laughed.
"Good." Shannon smiled and turned on the Hummer. He turned around putting his arm on the back of Heather's seat and backed up out of the drive way. The Hummer made a soft whirring sound as they drove down the highway toward the Gas Chamber. The music from the CD vibrating through it. Heather had turned up the bass and leaned back. Heather was always one for the bass and treble. Shannon could see her relax as the sound shot through her body. It was like lulling a baby to sleep. Shannon pulled into the parking lot of the Gas Chamber and helped Heather out of the Hummer.
Once inside the Gas Chamber a girl immediately squealed and Shannon was swamped by three girls. Heather signed and watched a man get a tattoo. Heather had a great fear of needles but she could watch people get tattoos. It was like a coloring book on skin. She didn't distract Shane because he was doing words at the moment. Once Shannon was finished with signing things, and taking pictures, he walked over to Heather and kissed her. Shane smiled and continued to do the tattoo on the man's arm. Shannon sat down beside Heather and she laid her head on his lap. The three girls looked longingly at the scene.
"I hate when people stare I wish they wouldn't." Shannon chuckled at her comment as he ran his fingers through her hair.
"I don't know maybe it is because you are with the sexiest man on Earth." Shane snorted with laughter but kept serious. Heather smiled and rubbed her nose against Shannon's stomach. He smiled and ran his thumb over her cheek and whispered, "Your gonna make me have to take a little trip to the bathroom if you don't stop." Heather giggled and stopped.
Shannon laid his head back on the wall and closed his eyes. Heather sat up and walked over to the door as a newbie got a tattoo. She cried out as the needle hit her skin. Heather stood outside and breathed. Once she heard her stop yelling she walked back in the shop. Shannon was now sitting at the register talking with one of the girls.
"All these are my own design, but the tribal tattoo is Shane's he thought it up." Heather looked at the new earrings they had got in. She happily picked up a pair and looked at them in the mirror. The silver moons made her skin a bit more tan looking. The girl got nervous seeing Heather and Heather walked to Shane.
"Shane, how do you think these look?" She held up the earrings.
"I think you should let me do moons on your back, because you're always buying moons, half our moon earrings went to you. You are one lucky lady because Shannon loves you." Heather blushed and took out some money. She gave the money to Shannon and put the earrings in her ears.
Shannon and Heather later went back to the house. Shannon walked her up stairs.
"I have a surprise for you." Heather giggled.
"What? She asked as he stepped behind her and covered her eyes with his bandana. He placed his hands on her hips and walked her down the hall. She was stopped and Shannon left her side. After a few seconds she could feel him return to her. His hands went behind her head and he removed the bandana. Heather opened her eyes and gasped.
In the room was her most recent designs tacked up in front of a long large table for her to stitch things u[p and to cut out fabrics. A brand new sewing machine was at another table and last but not least a professional loom stood on the other side of the room. The room was green with gold fish net around the walls. Heather looked to the ceiling and there was a black with silver speckles. Along with the silver speckles was glow in the dark stars and the moon. In the corner of the room was a bright yellow light like the sun.
Heather turned around and hugged Shannon tightly. Afterwards she grabbed his face and kissed him hard on the lips. He gladly kissed her back.
"That's not all." He said and started to walk her out of the room and down the hall.
