The Only One Series novel Chapter 22

I dressed and got on my bike and rode into town. Once there I pulled up in front of a Tattoo Shop I had passed on my way home. I saw that it had a tattoo artist wanted. I turned my bike off and got off. I took my helmet off and turned to put it on my bike when I heard "Is that Lana?" When did she wake up and does Gunner know she is back? I shook my head and turned and walked into the shop.

Hello, I heard. Hello, I am interested in the job you have upon your window. The woman looked at me and asked. Do you have experience? Yes, I do I handed her my pictures. She looked through them and said. I like these. I also handed her my references. America's Best Tattoos, Las Vegas Tattoo Company and Rise Above Tattoo. You do have experience and these are three of the best shops to work. You have to be really good to work here.

Let me give them a call and I will be right back. Have a seat and give me about five or 10 minutes. I sat down as she walked to the back. She came back smiling. You are hired. They all told me if I let you go I would be sorry I did. You can set your own hours. I would prefer that you not be here alone after 6:00 pm. If you have an appointment I want you to have Manic here with you. I will introduce you later. He is part of Gunner's club and basically our security.

I will show you the station you will use when you are here and you can either use the equipment here or bring your own if you have any. I do. I will use mine if you don't mind. Not a problem. I don't mind at all. I would prefer that actually. Good. Well, my name is Diamond and I am the owner. My husband is Gunner's VP. His name is animal. You will also meet him later. I have been with Animal for four months now. He can be rather bossy sometimes. But he is really a nice man.

Animal has been out of town on a run. I can't wait for him to come home. Oh, would you like a cup of coffee? God yes, with two creams. She came back and sat a cup down on the table beside be before sitting in a chair across from me. We were talking when the door opened and she screamed Animal running to him and jumping into his arms. He kissed her soundly before putting her down.

Come and meet my new artist she said dragging him across the room. I stood up and turned toward him. Lana? My name is Leigh. Why does everyone think I am this woman Lana? He pulled his wallet from his jean pocket and took out a picture. I looked at the picture of a pregnant woman and gasped. That could be me I said. But it isn't. I have never been pregnant let along given birth to a child. I handed the picture back. This was Gunner's woman, that is before he came back from the war. He was with her once long enough to get her pregnant.

She was gone when he woke up. She is supposed to be in a coma. I'm sorry she is in a coma but I wish everyone would stop calling me her. I looked at Diamond and said. I will be here in the morning. See you later I said walking out of the door and getting on my bike before riding home.
