"Who's Boy Toy?"
Lisa's voice brings me back to reality as she pokes me and asked for the clamp I just sterilized. I give it to her and try to pay attention as she goes over to Mimi and starts talking about how it will hurt a bit. She's this short Latina who's pretty cute for a girl. As Lisa tells her about basic hygiene I look back to her little boy toy. Actually as she looks like she's with Roger, this musician who I've tattooed and done some stuff for the drummer in his band, the guy I'm looking at probably isn't her boy toy. Which means that he might be single, which could be a very good thing considering the fact that he's adorable. Cute, not huge or macho so he probably doesn't have this huge 'I can control all" attitude. He is kind of quiet though, I wonder if he's always like that or if he's just shy.
I shake my head again and look up when Mark manages to bump into me. As he half-falls over I grab his hand and pull him up so that he doesn't land on the floor. Okay he's really cute! "Hey, sorry… I didn't…." He sputters looking genuinely embarrassed.
"Hey don't worry about it," I smile. "Most humans fall over once and a while and as I do more than my share of it I really can't complain. But seriously, are you okay?"
Turning bright red, which I must say, is very cute, he manages to say somewhat coherently, "Yeah I look like a fool but as you don't seem to mind that's great."
"I don't. Hey I'm Aaron by the way."
"Mark, you work here?" He asks shyly, making him soooo adorable.
"I do, what do you do?" I wonder, hmmm maybe I can run into him sometime, I wonder if he believes in fate…
"I'm a filmmaker and I love it, I'm all over the East Village. At the moment kind of unemployed but I'm looking so… bye," he says as Roger pulled him out the door. The East Village, hmm? Well that's not bad and if he lives anywhere near Roger than I can probably run into him. Hmmm, cutie.

This is just a short chapter, an introduction to Aaron, if you will. Oh, everything else from now on will be in present tense, only the introduction from Lisa is in past tense because… erhm… it's the introduction? And important? And special?
Disclaimer: Lisa, Aaron, Eddy and any other random unfamiliar characters are ours. I'm pretty sure that everyone else belongs to Jonathan Larson and etc.
