Accidental Love (Completed)

Chapter 4

Draya

When I woke up the next morning I was expecting to have to do dishes because Orlando kept me up all night. Round after round. I knew he was tired for practice this morning but it's okay. I'll put him to sleep later.

I headed down stairs and got to the kitchen to see that it was completely clean. "Ugh I love that man." I said to myself. I went back upstairs so that I could find something to wear today. Orlando told me he would make my appointment with August for today and I found a text from him confirming it. Only thing left was for me to call Tammy and see if she would come.

The phone rang about 4 times before she picked up sounding happy.

"Someone sounds chipper this morning."

"I know. I didn't get a chance to call you but they took his breathing tube out yesterday because he started breathing on his own. He's still in a coma but this is a huge step."

I could hear the smile in her voice and that made me extremely happy. "That's amazing T. So what are you doing now?"

"I came home to do some laundry. Now I'm just sitting here watching TV and sketching."

"Weeeeelllllll. I'm going to get a new tattoo. Do you want to come?"

She hesitated for a second before responding. "Sure. I've been wanting a new one myself but I haven't gotten around to it."

"Great! Be ready in an hour." After I hung up I jumped in the shower before getting dressed and heading over to Tammy's. She was damn near skipping out of the house and I couldn't help but be happy for her.

"So what tattoo shop are we going to?"

"The only one that Orlando trusts."

"August?" She asked with a little more anxiousness in her voice than I expected.

"Yes." I saw a slight smile creep across her face which was weird. I didn't say anything about it I just kept driving. When we got there it was fairly early so it was empty besides the employees.

"Damn what can I help your fine asses with?" One of the guys said to us.

"Sit your thisty ass down Troy before August comes out here and curses you out for being unprofessional."

"Angel mind your business." They started going back and forth.

"Uh excuse me." I said and the stopped. "We're here to see August."

"I'll get him for you." Angel said and walked to the back.

Troy and the other guy were looking at us like we were a piece of meat.

"Nigga act like you got some fucking home training." Tammy and I both looked up seeing August mugging them both.

"But.."

"Nah. You can't treat them like those attention whores that come through here yo. This is my niggas girl and her cousin. Be respectful and act like you have parents that raised your ass right." He walked up to us. "What's up Draya?" He licked his lips before looking at Tammy. "Tammy."

"August."

They stared at each other for a while before I spoke up. "Okay so I have an idea but I may need some help with it."

"No problem. I got you. Follow me." He was still looking at Tammy until he walked us to the back. "Aight so what is it that you want?"

"I wanted a choppa but not too big. And I was thinking I wanted it on my side but I'm not sure."
