When we return to my apartment, we decide to stay up for a bit. We get comfortable on the couch and I put on a popular Netflix show called Love Is Blind. Sitting on the couch with my girls, we're watching the show while eating Autumn's favorite snack: mango with chamoy sauce. It's a really good combination.

We decide that we want to get tattoos. Right now, so we grab a ride-share and go see Axel. We all decide to get “good girl” tattooed on our hip bones.

“Axel! Thank you so much for fitting us in so late. We know what we want and where and it's not going to take long at all.”

“Are y'all drunk?”

“Nope,” Autumn squeaks out.

“A little,” Marley snitches, holding her thumb and index finger close together.

I tsk, “Snitches get stitches.” I giggle.

“No, we just had a couple drinks and sang karaoke. But we’re not drunk.”

“Fuck. Fine, fill out the forms and I'll get set up.”

“Yay, thank you!” I'm giddy.

Autumn looks like she's going to pass out, but Marley is excited.

“Fuck, are you sure we should do this, Monti?” Autumn whispers.

“Yes! Yes, we should.” I giggle.

“Okay, girlfriend, let's go,” she says with hesitation.

“Alright, let's do the damn thing,” Marley claps. .

“Okay, but I'm going first.” Autumn nods.

“Hell, yeah! Axel, we’re ready my dude!”

We walk over and Autumn lays down. She pulls her tights down and she's left in only a lacy thong. I see Axel swallow hard.

“Alright, you sure you want it right here?”

“Absolutely.”

“If Rocky comes in here and tries to kick my ass…”

“He won't. I won’t let him,” I reassure him.

“He better not,” he grumbles.

We can’t help but to laugh at him, he’s so nervous, it’s adorable.

“Done. Who’s next?” he says as he finishes Autumns tattoo, and she goes to look in the mirror.

I lay on the bed after he changed the plastic and I shimmy out of my jeans so he can do mine next. Once finished, I check it out in the mirror.

“Alright, trouble, you’re next.” He smirks at Marley.

“They’re perfect! Will you take a picture of us?”
