Almost 9 PM. Another slow night. But as it dragged on, more drunks would wander in looking to get "tattooed up." It sucked for my social life, but I h...d loans to pay and my dick of a landlord needed his pound of flesh. But I was getting some good buzz; this time next year, Spider Monkey Tattoo and Piercing would be in the black. Then my ol' lady could get off my back.Maybe.I peeled off the latex gloves, throwing them and the tattoo needle into red biohazard trash can. You couldn't be too. ..."And she interrupted me, "No....you...were...staring...at...me."And I looked down from her eyes at the bar. I knew I couldn't deny it. "I'm sorry....you're quite attractive. I shouldn't have done that. I apologize. Can I make it up to you? What do you want? Can I buy you a drink?"And she replied, "Sure...buy me a beer...I like Heineken."And so I called over the bartender and bought her that beer. After the bartender brought her the beer she introduced herself, "I'm Gabbie.....Garbriela".And. . Jennifer, Jesus Christ what's wrong with me?" It's alright Jennie, you need time to think that's all. Melanie knows how to reach me if you ever want to, well, just call me sometime okay, we'll get together, no pressure."We would kiss, and I would watch as she redressed. I knew I could love Jennifer for ever, and I also knew I would never see her again."Jesus Jennie, that's some story, you almost make it sound like you were there." So, are you ready Mark? Hand me the lotion will you, want me. "Whatever happened to our promise that the day when one dies, the other will do the same?" I've had the same thoughts," Michelle said. "But how will we do it? Say you go first, how am I going to do it? I sure am not going blow my brains out, cut my wrists, or jump from the top of a building. I want it to be fast and painless." We've lived full lives, we've had three husbands each. Plus a few lovers.Both male and females. Mostly though, it's always come down to you and me.I guess we came out of.
