“Yeah, fuck. Sorry! I’m just dealing with some shit right now. Listen, Matt’s going to take care of you. I have to run, but if you’re in town for a few days then maybe we can meet up,” Tye said, giving Travis a look.
“Yeah, I’m here for the week. Call me. You know I’m here for you man,” Travis said and Tye nodded his appreciation.
Tye grabbed his black leather jacket off the hook and then turned before he walked through the front door. “Hey Trav! If you hear from Britney, make sure she’s handling everything okay.”
“I will,” Travis responded, looking confused by the request. And with those words, Tye was gone.
“What did that mean? Is everything okay with Britney? Are Brit and Tye friends, why would he say that?” I asked, completely alarmed by his comment. “Come to think of it, I haven’t heard from her since she went home for winter break. Maybe I should call her,” I said and my voice relayed my worry for my friend. I didn’t know what Tye meant or what Britney was currently dealing with so I needed to find out.
“I don’t know. Tye is close friends with Corey, but other than that, I don’t know why he would be asking about Brit. Maybe it’s something with Corey?” Travis shrugged, just as baffled as me. “Why don’t you call her?” he suggested.
“Yeah, I’ll call her now.” I dialed Britney’s number, but there was no answer. So, I decided to send her a text just in case she was in a place where she couldn’t chat.
Me: Hey Brit! Is everything ok?
I stared at my phone waiting for a response. Come to think of it, out of all of my friends she was the only one who hadn’t called or sent me a text for my birthday. We had become really good friends, so I worried that something was wrong. Earlier in the fall, her parents had told her they were getting a divorce and I wondered if it had anything to do with that. “I really hope she is okay,” I spoke softly as I continued to wait for a response.
Travis squeezed my arms and tried to alleviate my worry. “I’m sure she’s okay. Don’t fret, we will get in touch with her, even if we have to drive back and track her down,” Travis said. He was always so sweet and his reassurance made my stomach calm.
“All right man, the room is ready for you!” Matt came out and announced.
We both stood and followed him into the back room. I got myself situated in the chair next to Travis’s spot while Travis and Matt discussed the tattoo and the exact location for its placement. As I sat there, I began to feel nervous for him. Although Travis had been through this many times before, I didn’t want to see my baby getting hurt.
Travis held my hand as the needle started buzzing. I knew that he was clinging to me for my sake more than his, but I liked being able to be there with him. It looked painful though, so I found myself turning away and admiring all of the artwork hanging on the walls. “Wow! These are amazing. All of the drawings are like beautiful paintings that should be in a museum,” I said, completely awed by them.
“Yeah, Tye did all of those. He’s definitely got talent, that’s for sure,” Matt shared.
“Wow! He drew all of these? That’s incredible.” I stood to take a closer look at some of them. There was one web of flowers so beautiful that if I were brave enough I would consider getting it tattooed on my body. “I love this one,” I said, admiring it closely.
“Yeah, that one he did about a year ago. Tye won’t let anyone have it done. He says that it’s meant for ‘one and only one’,” Matt declared, pausing his work to look up at it.
“Oh, does he already have someone in mind for it?” I asked, curious if maybe there was a special girl in his life.
“No. Well, at least not that I know of. Tye doesn’t share too much and none of the girls that he’s seeing would be worthy. So, I’m guessing not,” Matt said and then returned his attention to his work.
I continued to take them all in and then returned to my seat by Travis. He was staring at me and then gave me a wink. “You good?” I asked, making sure he wasn’t in too much pain.
“I’m thinking of how I’m going to enjoy you nursing my wounds later, so yeah, I’m good,” he teased. I just rolled my eyes and shook my head at him.
When it was all finished, Travis stood to take a look in the long mirror on the wall and inspect Matt’s work. “Nice man! Thanks, it’s exactly what I wanted,” Travis said, studying it closely.
I came to stand behind him and see it for myself. Travis turned to face me allowing me to get a closer look too. The tattoo was slightly red and puffy looking, but for the most part it looked perfect. As much as he claimed I inspire him, I would say the same. “You know, you inspire me every day too!” I whispered, running my finger outside the perimeter of the symbol. “Thank you Travis.”
Travis leaned down and took my lips between his. His tongue asked for entrance, and I immediately matched his thrusts. This beautiful man, with such a beautiful soul, now had the most beautiful heart. And it was mine. All mine!
