SOLD TO MR GRAYSON - EPISODE 19

Natalie’s POV

“So who hit you?” Thomas asked.

“It’s just from training the other day,” I lied.

“Sparring?” Thomas asked.

“Yeah,” I chuckled.

“Natalie lets go!” Kai yelled.

“See ya later,” I waved, and got into one of the armored cars. I slid in next to Kai, and sighed.

“Nice shot,” AJ smiled.

“At least someone thinks so,” I sighed.

2 days later

Carter won’t talk to me!!! He’s been giving me the silent treatment since the twins got kidnapped.

This must be my consequence. On the bright side my leg is healed, all that’s left is an ugly scab.

“Carter please talk to me,” I begged. He stayed silent, and put on his shirt.

“Okay I get it, I’m sorry I broke your rules,” I apologized.

Carter stayed silent, and walked out of the room.

I followed him down the stairs, and sighed,”Carter please.” He ignored me, and walked into his office.

“He won’t talk to you,” Kent chimed.

“I know,” I sighed,”How can I get him to talk to me?”

“Do something that will surprise him,” he replied.

“Like what?” I asked. Kent thought for a minute, and smiled.

“Carter doesn’t think you’ll get the trademark,” He admitted,”We all agree, but if you want Carter to talk you, you would…”

“Get the tattoo,” I finished.

“There you go,” Kent smirked.

“Where can I get one?” I asked.
“Wait you’re really going through with this,” Kent laughed.

“Yeah,” I sighed,”I am.”

“297 East Chester Avenue,” Kent stated,”Ask for Jay, tell him you want the Serpent.

Oh and when you’re done, tell him to put it on the tab.”

I nodded, and grabbed the keys to Carter’s Escalade.

I was almost out the door when I remembered Rule #3. Don’t leave without Carter’s permission.

I quickly turned around, and walked into Carter’s office.

“Hey Carter,” I began,”Keith wants me to go shoot with him. Can I go?”

He nodded yes, and I sighed. I mumbled a thanks then left.

When I got into the Escalade, I typed the address into the GPS and followed it.

Soon I pulled up to a sketchy looking tattoo parlor, but I went in anyway.

The place smelt of cigarette smoke, and there were pictures of girls on motorcycles everywhere.

“Can I help,” a deep raspy voice boomed. I looked at the man, and he was covered in tattoos and leather.

“I’m looking for Jay,” I squeaked.

“That would be me,” he replied.

“Umm I want the Serpent,” I stated.

“Really?” He chuckled,”You’re in Carter’s gang?”

“Yeah,” I answered. He motioned for me to follow him, and he sat me in one of the chairs.

“Where do you want it?” He asked.

“My right arm,” I squeaked. He nodded then gathered the supplies.

“It helps if you don’t look,” he stated. I could feel the needle pole at my skin.

This feels awful. Carter better talk to me after this, or else I’m gonna kill Kent.

After a while the pain subsided, and I looked at the tattoo. Hey, this looks pretty cool.

“Alright it’s done,” He stated.

“Awesome,” I gaped. Jay taped plastic to my arm, and we walked to cash register.

“Am I putting this on Carter’s tab?” He asked.

“Yep,” I smiled. I walked out of the parlor, and got in the car. My arm stings.

“He better like this,” I sighed, and drove home. Wow I called it home….I guess that’s cool. It feels like home ….sometimes.

When I pulled up, I got out and ran into the house.

When I got in, I ran into AJ and Madison. They were kissing!

“Umm,” I interrupted.

“Natalie,” Madison’s eyes widened,”It’s not what it looks like.”

“Mhmm,” I smirked,”Your secret is safe with me.”

“Thanks Natalie,” AJ sighed in relief.

“Where’s Carter?” I asked.

“He’s in your bedroom, why?” AJ asked,”He won’t talk to you anyway.”

“I have something to show him,” I smiled, and ran up the stairs.

I opened the door to our bedroom, and tripped over Carter’s shoes. “Sh!t,” I squeaked, as I tumbled onto the floor.

I heard a deep chuckle, and I looked up and locked eyes with Carter. I quickly stood up, and smiled at him.

“Are you going to talk to me?” I smiled. He sighed, and just stood there with his arms crossed.

I gazed at his figure, and realized the only thing he has on is a towel.

“Y-Your’re naked,” I stuttered. He did nothing, but smirk.

I rolled my eyes, then remembered my tattoo. “I wanna show you something,” I smiled.

His eyes widened, and his eyebrows raised. I rolled my eyes, and turned my arm so he could see my tattoo.

He stepped towards me, and took the plastic off of my arm.

He examined, and a soft smile appeared on his face.

“You got the tattoo,”he smiled.
“We’re talking now?” I chuckled.

“Did you get this for me?” he smirked.

“No,” I lied.

“Then why is it in the same place mine is,” he smiled. My eyes widened, and I looked at our arms.

“Crap,” I mumbled.
He chuckled then pulled me in for a hug…..which led to a kiss…….which led to……… well…. you know what happened.
