Part 2

So Aaron was heartbroken but soon realized the artsy guy wasn't Arlettes boyfriend but just a guy she wanted Aaron to meet so he can display his artwork. 'Phew..i guess i still stand a chance!', he thought as he took a sip of his beer.

Anyway life went on for Arlette and Aaron. She bought him gifts once in a while and he bought her roses to compensate!
Finally 3 months later Arlette decided she couldn't wait any longer and asked Aaron out.
They made an extremely cute couple. Little odd but cute...
Aaron started an art gallery and people loved his work- His paintings sold like hot cakes(yummy chocolate ones)!! Arlettes tattoo parlor was doing equally well and her body was now almost covered with tattoos! Aaron surprisingly managed to get a few more tattoos and his voice seemed to get screechier as he got older!!(trust me Janice and the nanny sounded better compared to him)


3 years passed and Aaron was still very much in love with Arlette who was now planning on moving to Australia... They didn't meet very often before she left, in fact they hardly even got to talk to each other.
On her last day in India, Arlette messaged Aaron while she was at the airport to tell him she was leaving...
He rushed to the airport to meet her but it was too late...
His world seemed to turn over on its head as he stood outside all alone holding a painting he had made for her- a painting of her and him...

pins n needles

Characters:Aaron-the main guy..no wait..gal..no guy..well i can't really decide.
Arlette-the 'pretty hot- timid looking -taking charge- tattoo artist'
N me-the passerby co-incidentally ending up everywhere Aaron goes. And I'm also apparently psychic cuz i can read his mind!

Aaron walked in one Sunday afternoon thinking about how cool people would think he was after he got his 'trippy' tattoo..."ooh i love guys with tattoos..do you wanna get a drink?", he imagined girls telling him. He was expecting a big, well built tattoo artist but found a timid looking girl sitting there instead.
Her half-tattoo covered body made him feel like an idiot and he was just looked forward to getting this over with.
"Well come on in", she said. "my name's Arlette and I'm gonna be tattooing you today".
He handed her the design he had made himself and sat down. He didn't really say much...
"Wow, that's really nice..do you want to check out the similar ones i have?" she asked.
"Thank you...it's just something i sketched when i was tripping(one would think he was just telling her that to make her know he was cool too and that her her half-tattoo covered body didn't intimidate him)...and i would love to see what you've got"
They spent the next half hour talking bout her tattoos and how he wasn't scared at all about getting this tattoo-his very first one.
"So can we get started now?", she asked enthusiastically while he tried hard to seem calm.
In an hour she was done with half of it and with each passing minute Aarons screeching got louder and higher pitched. Most people would think a girl was getting molested in there for sure!
(He was just glad he could keep himself from fainting!)
When he was just beginning to think it was over, she told him he had to come back another day for the colouring.
"F*** my stars", he thought. "Now the pretty hot tattoo-artist thinks i'm a pussy and i'll have to go through another embarrassing session!"
She continued acting like nothing had happened and he didn't quiet understand if she was being really kind or if she was totally deaf!!
Anyway he went back a few days later -wondering if he could tape his mouth to keep himself from screaming- and finally finished getting his tattoo which i must say looked quite impressive(not quite impressive enough to make me ask him out for drinks though!).
Like any other cliché love story days passed by and he kept thinking about going back and asking her out for coffee but she called him up instead and asked him to go have drinks with her.
Makes you realize who's going to wear the pants in this relationship if it works out huh?
So she decided the place and day- which was quite expected- and aaron arrived early and was contemplating buying her flowers but thankfully didn't and saved himself from being perceived as gay!
Arlette walked in a half hour late with a guy who seemed rather artsy leaving aaron heartbroken...

Well i'm going to leave you'll with this for now as i plan the ultimate ending...
so for now -to be continued..
