7:00 pm came all too soon for Tori. As she walked up to the tattoo parlor, she instantly noticed all the lights were off, except a faint one was on toward the back. She took a deep breath, and knocked on the glass door, knowing that it would be closed.

When she watched Shannon come out of his office toward the door, a smile crept on both of their faces. He looked alot different than this afternoon. He was in a pair of jeans and a different t-shirt, and the face paint and hair dye was gone. She could see his platinum blonde hair perfectly, and his smile was incredible.

"Hey Tori, thanks for coming back," he said as he held the door opened so she could come in.

"No problem. I'm glad I could help."

"Well, I definetly appreciate it. Come on, all the paperwork is in my office. I even ordered a pizza for dinner if your hungry."

"Yeah, that sounds great."

Tori sat down next to Shannon as they went through invoices and bills, and before they knew it, the book work that Shannon thought would take all night, was completed.

"I can't believe we are done," he said happily. "I was for sure it was going to take all night."

"Like I told you earlier, I am glad I could help. Anytime you need help, just let me know and I can swing by."

"Alright, I will have to remember that," he said smiling at her.

The two sat in comfortable silence for a few moments, and then Shannon broke the ice just a little bit.

"Tori, can I ask you something?"

"Umm...sure I guess."

"You seem guarded about something. Can I ask what's going on?"

Tori just took one look in his eyes, and knew that he could be trusted. Heck, it would even surprise Angela that she wasn't going to be Ms. Safety anymore.

"Well, I wouldn't call it guarded. I would say its more like...cautious. You see, I got out of a really bad relationship last year, and really haven't dated anyone since."

"To tell you the truth, Angela told me about that break up when it happened. If I could, I want to knock out the guy's teeth for you."

"Thanks," she said smiling. "I don't know if you knew Angela's intentions, but she was kind of wanting us to hook up."

Shannon chuckled as he sat on his desk, facing Tori better. "Yeah, I knew her intentions. Actually, I asked her for this meeting. I was hoping it work out too."

Tori smiled, biting her lip as she walked closer to Shannon. "Your real sweet, you know that."

Shannon smiled at her, as he leaned in for a soft kiss. Tori looped her arms around his neck, and soon the kiss was deepened.

"I thought you always played by the rules?" he asked playfully.

"Nope, not anymore," she said smiling, kissing him once again. His lips soon left her mouth, and traveled down her neck and chest, once her shirt was peeled off. Tori loved the feeling of his lips on her skin, and didn't want it to stop.

"Come here," he whispered as he took her hand, leading her down on the floor. He then crawled on top of her, leaving trails of kisses on her body once again, and then slowly started un buttoning her jeans.

"Are you sure about this?" Shannon asked as he watched Tori take off his shirt and started going for his jeans as well.

"Yeah, I'm sure," she said smiling. The two were soon naked, and once he entered her, a whole new kind of passion overtook her body.

"Oh my God!" she moaned in his neck, making him rock harder against her body. "That feels awesome!"

Shannon smirked while his fingers roamed her body, and ultimately finding her most sensitive in between her legs, making her moan more. They both soon reached the best possible high they had in a long time, and collapsed in each others arms.

"Tori, may I tell you something?"

"Sure," she said trying to catch her breath.

"I want you to know that I don't usually sleep with a girl I barely know. I have had a crush on you for awhile, and now that I got to actually talk to you today at lunch and tonight, I really really like you.

Tori smiled at him as she kissed Shannon once again. "I like you too Shannon. I must admit, the paint scared me today," she said as Shannon laughed, "but I got to know the real you today."

"Stay right here," he told her as he disappeared around the corner. He came back a few moments later with a fluffy blanket, wrapped him and Tori in it, and the two fell asleep on the floor, in each other's arms.
