Tattoos on the Heart.

Louisa snickered again when Jenna mentioned something about Matt looking good naked. She could tell by looking at Jenna that that was what her friend was thinking about right now, and she shook her head. She was sure Matt did look good naked, but she personally had never really been all that attracted to super chiseled men, even if she could appreciate that he did look good. She'd always been more into guys with a little bit more cushion around the middle; she didn't know why, but she figured it was because they were cuddlier. "Just remember, you can't touch him while he's still your client, but once you're done, feel perfectly free to ride him into that very comfortable mattress of yours. Just make sure I'm not home when you do it." She chuckled, reaching under the counter for her lighter and pack of cigarettes. It had been several hours since she'd had one and she was starting to realize that she needed a hit of nicotine. She grabbed Jenna's wrist and pulled her out of the shop, around to the place where she usually went to smoke her cigarettes. She just wanted a chance to talk to Jenna without Katy listening in. She lit her cigarette and took a long drag and held the smoke in her lungs as she thought about how to start what she wanted to say. "So you don't think I'm being silly, getting excited about this guy when I just broke up with Jay two months ago?" Louisa asked. "I mean, we were engaged and I did sort of love him, even if he did cheat on me like three times. I just...I don't want to get hurt again, ya know? Or an I thinking too much into this? I mean, Zacky didn't even ask for my phone number. I dunno."

---

"I guess there's that," Matt said. He felt stupid that he didn't think about that. Of course he should figure out what Jenna might like to do. But he was like Zack and the rest of them, he usually planned evenings around his goal of getting into the girl's pants. And drinking was usually a good way to do that. But he didn't want to do that with Jenna. She was funny and blunt and he wanted to actually spend time with her. Matt paid for his ointment and walked with Zacky out to the car, laughing at how his friend said he wished he could sleep the week away. Zacky definitely liked his sleep, probably more than Matt did. "Aren't you glad you didn't puss out of coming to the tattoo shop with me?" Matt asked, pulling out of the parking lot. He smirked at Zacky. "You would've been sleeping instead of meeting your little redneck." And then Louisa might have been in there bothering him and Jenna, since Jenna had mentioned something about her liking to pester people. And then it would've been harder for him to talk to Jenna the way that he had. "Damn, damn, damn, this thing itches," Matt grumbled. It was so hard to resist the urge to scratch at his chest "I gotta get home and put this shit on my tattoo." Hardly fifteen minutes later, Matt pulled into Zacky's driveway and put his car in park. "My next appointment is at two o'clock next Thursday, so I'll probably be by to pick you up around one thirty. Unless you've changed your mind by then," he added, joking.

@ ZackyEffingVengeance
"Of course there's that. If you really want to show her you care and not just that you want to get in her pants, plan something better. Geez, Shadz," Zacky said with a shake of his head. Girls weren't stupid, they knew what certain dates meant when they took them out somewhere. Zacky smirked over at Matt, chuckling. "Yeah, I guess you're right. If I hadn't come with your sorry ass, I wouldn't have met Louisa, my little redneck," he said, rolling his eyes at him. He sighed as he looked up at his house, seeing the dogs in the window going nuts. "Make sure you brush up on your dating skills, would you. I'm not sure who's been out of the dating game longer, me or you," he said with a shake of his head, patting his shoulder. Maybe this Jenna girl just had Matt's head in a funk now, who knows. "Alright, I'll seen you then. Don't be late." Zacky got out of the car, fishing his keys out of his pocket as he went up to his door. He unlocked it, greeting his dogs as they greeted him. Icky scratched at his legs as Majesty jumped up to his shoulders, making Zacky grunt. "Hi guys, I missed you too," he said with a laugh, making Majesty get down so he could pet Icky. Honestly, he didn't want to leave the house for months if he didn't really have to. He had missed his pups so much while he was on tour. They were his babies. He would have totally taken them with him if he could have, but there was no way that Majesty could fit on a tour bus. Now Icky, yeah, he could. Brian used to take Pinkly sometimes. Zacky let the dogs outback, going out there with them to watch them run around a bit.

---

Jenna groaned, nodding. "Yeah, I know I can't. But you bet your ass I'll ride him until I break that nice comfy mattress of mine," she said, giving Louisa a pointed look. Jenna realized that she was totally on a mission now. She wanted Matt and she was going to have him. In more ways than one. It really sucked that she couldn't have him until she was done with his tattoo, but that only meant one more session. One more week. But that gave her enough time to kind of get to know him a little more. She didn't just want him because he was hot, so far she thought he had a great personality and was really easy to talk to. She's never been able to talk to easily with anyone before who wasn't Louisa. Her eyes widened When Louisa suddenly dragged her outside, not even noticing that she had grabbed her cigarettes. "Sweet cumsack," she said, almost tripping over herself. Jenna shook her head as she listened, crossing her arms over her chest. "I don't think you're getting overly excited about anything. You need a little bit of excitement in your life. Go on a few dates, hangout, have some good sex that you really need, and just have someone there for you to talk to that isn't me. Oh, and the vibrator in your nightstand," she said with a laugh. Jenna just thought this was great for her friend. It would probably take her a while to really wrap her head around the idea, but she'll get to it. "Fuck Jay. You know my opinion of him. You should have ended it a hell of a long time ago. You didn't deserve anything that he did to you. You need someone that's going to treat you like a real woman, and I'm sure this guy will do just that."

Louisa gasped when Jenna mentioned something about the vibrator in her nightstand, reaching over with her free hand to smack her friend on the arm. "You went sneaking through my nightstand, you little bitch," she laughed. She shook her head as she took another drag off of her cigarette. "But I guess you're right. I'm thinking too much into this. So far Zacky seems like he's a really nice guy, and I definitely wouldn't mind going on a few dates with him and getting to know him better. And who knows, maybe it might turn into something? I'm not getting my hopes up, but I also sorta am. And even if it doesn't, it would be nice to let him rattle my headboard a couple of times. And give my vibrator a little break," she added, glancing sideways at Jenna. "Because God knows I need a good lay. Jay sure as hell wasn't doing that towards the end, probably because he was too busy dipping his dick somewhere else. And I know how you feel about Jay, everybody fucking felt that way. And I also know I should've ended things the first time he cheated on me, but I was young and stupid and for some strange reason, I believed him when he said it wouldn't happen again." Louisa paused, taking a deep breath as she took another long drag from her cigarette. "But I'm done talking about Jay. All that does is make my head hurt. And I'm tired of letting him control my life. So what if I want to sleep with a guy I barely know? I'm a big girl, I can handle myself. And who knows, maybe Zack'll be so good that I'll forget what's his face's name. And I bet I'll get it in before you, too," Louisa added, grinning teasingly at Jenna.

---

"Hey, you need to brush up on your dating skills, too," Matt said, pointing a finger at Zacky as the other man climbed out of the car. He reached down to put the car in reverse, keeping his foot on the brake. "And I think it's you who's been out of the dating game longer. I'm cooler than you." He waited until Zacky had disappeared into his house before he finally backed out of the driveway, making the short drive over to his own house. He grabbed his Walmart bag from the backseat and headed inside, slipping his shoes off by the door before tossing his keys on the counter. He went down the hall and rubbed a little Aquafor on his tattoo before he grabbed a beer from the kitchen and settled down on the couch. He might've jokingly told Zacky that it was him that had been out of the dating game longer, but Matt was sure he'd been out for quite a while, too. He was rusty. All he knew how to do was ply a girl with alcohol until her pants came off. But he didn't want to do that with Jenna. Maybe it was because he could talk to her so easily or that she was so blunt, which was different from most girls he'd ever met, but Matt didn't want to just sleep with Jenna and then leave her. He definitely wouldn't mind sleeping with her, but for the first time in awhile, he actually wanted a relationship with someone. But he had a week to figure out what he might want to do with Jenna. And maybe next week at his next session, she might actually tell him a little bit about herself so that Matt could figure out something she might like to do.

@ ZackyEffingVengeance
Zacky let the dogs run around for a while before he decided that it was time to go inside and stuff his face. That was probably the next best thing he did next to sleeping. You could definitely tell, since he wasn't built like Matt or very lean like the rest of his friends. He used to be, but as he got a bit older it just started packing on and he just didn't really give a damn about losing it. He didn't have anyone to impressed. Well, he had Louisa now. But if she didn't like him the way he looked now then she just didn't like him at all. He wasn't going to change his appearenxe for anyone. Zacky shook his head at himself, pulling out stuff to make some pizza. He totally should have had Matt stay for dinner or something. Now he was bored out of his mind with two insane dogs in a big house all to himself. But that was okay, because as soon as he ate he was going to go to bed and sleep until he couldn't sleep anymore and hopefully that would be the day that he had to go get the tattoos. Zacky pulled out some dough and rolled it out, spreading pizza sauce on it and some cheese. He put all of his favorite toppings on it before preheating the oven and throwing it in there. He tossed a couple of pieces of sausage to the dogs, making that their treat for the day. "Go lay down," he said, not wanting them bothering him while he was in the kitchen. Especially Majesty, she was such a pain trying to eat everything off of the counters since she was tall enough. Sometimes Zacky thought that maybe he needed to get a baby gate to keep her out, but she might just jump over it.

---

Jenna put her hands up in defense, backing away. "I was looking for something and I happen to come across it. Honestly, Lou, that's just a horrible place to keep it. At least I keep all of my toys in a more creative place, like a duffle bag in my closet," she said with a smirk. Jenna didn't care if anyone knew where her toys were. She wasn't embarrassed by them. She nodded in agreement with everything that Louisa said. "That's right, you say it," she said, her eyes widening when she pretty much said she was going to be tapping Zacky before Jenna would get any of Matt. "Dont say that, Louisa. You know how I am," she said with a groan. "Whoever gets it in first takes the other out for ice cream. No rush, no time limit, just whoever gets it first, gets it first," she matter-of-factly. Jenna couldn't resist a bet or a competition. Her and Louisa were always doing little ones for little things. "Let's go close up, shall we? it's getting late and I'm super hungry," she whined, pouting. "We can obsess over them some more over some good yummy food and fantasies on how cute our first dates are going to be." Jenna went back into the shop with a bounce in her step, feeling like this was possibly one of the best days ever. She cleaned up her station, putting everything in its place before she shut the light off to her room. She grabbed her jacket before going out to the waiting area to wait on Louisa. "Do you think I would look good with a half sleeve?" She asked Louisa, flipping through the tattoo books. She was considering What Matt said, but she didn't even know what she would get.

"I only keep it there for ease of use and just...shut up, you," Louisa grumbled playfully, nudging Jenna in the ribs with her elbow. What was the point of having a vibrator if she had to go digging in her closet to find it when she wanted to use it? "Yeah, I know how you are, you little dick magnet you," Louisa laughed. She couldn't really say much, because before she moved to California and met Jay, she was almost the same way. She was a wild little college girl back in her day. "Hell yeah, I'll be looking forward to that triple scoop you're gonna have to buy me," Louisa laughed. She could never resist a little bet, especially when it came to Jenna. It was almost their thing. Louisa nodded when Jenna suggested closing up, dropping her cigarette on the ground and stomping it out. She bent down to pick up the butt, sticking it inside the cigarette butt holder next to the front door. She was honestly a little excited about having a little girl talk with Jenna, especially since no one had ever wanted to do that with her when it came to Jay. But now they were both single with very good-looking and honestly pretty promising men in their lives, and it would be fun to gush over them. Inside, Louisa sent Katy and the other artists home before she went around to make sure everything was put away and clean. She shrugged at Jenna's question. "Yeah, I think so," she answered. She smirked. "Why? Did Matt tell you you'd look good with one?"

Matt lounged on the couch for a little while, managing to finish half a six-pack before his stomach finally started to grumble. He reluctantly peeled himself up from his couch and went into the kitchen, digging around in the fridge before he finally decided to make grilled chicken with balsamic vegetables. He was the sort of guy that preferred to eat more healthy, but that didn't mean he wouldn't eat pizza or something like that every once and awhile. He just liked to keep himself looking lean and fit, and along with regular exercise, eating healthy was one of the main ways he accomplished that. And judging by the way Jenna had been looking at him during their session earlier that day, Matt's efforts had definitely paid off. He pulled out the chicken, along with asparagus and matchstick carrots. As he was grilling the chicken in a skillet on the stove, he heard the clicking of nails on the tile and soon felt a cold nose pressing into his palm. "Hey there, Bella," Matt chuckled, scratching her ear. "I was wondering when you were going to join me. Honestly, I think you sleep more than Zacky and that says a lot." Matt cut off a small piece of chicken and tossed it to Bella. He wondered if it would help his case any to mention to Jenna that he had a dog. Girls liked dogs, right? They were like the ultimate wing man. Or woman or whatever. And anything that helped him get closer to Jenna was a good thing.

@ ZackyEffingVengeance
Zacky finished making his pizza in no time, going into the living room and plopping down onto the sofa to watch some baseball. He wondered if he would still get to do this if he had a girlfriend. Was Louisa the type to make him eat in the kitchen because of crumbs? Zacky had a house keeper come in once a week because he was horrible at cleaning and was so messy. He wondered what kind of southern manners she'd rub off on him. Zacky chuckled, taking a sip of his beer. For all he knew she might not even be anything like that, she could just have the accent. He was getting way ahead of himself here. A thought came to mind and he grabbed his phone, texting Matt. Do you think Louisa is a real hot preacher's daughter? he sent, biting down on his bottom lip. This was going to be pure torture. That was probably going to be one of the first questions that his dumb ass self was going to end up blurting out without realizing it. Zacky needed to keep himself under control before he started to seem like some crazy obsessed creeper or something. He shook his head and took another bite of his pizza, putting his feet up on the coffee table. He wondered if she had a pet peeve about people putting their feet up on the coffee table. Zacky wondered what all of her pet peeves were and if he did any of them. Honestly he did a lot of things that got on people's nerves, he tried his hardest not to do them though.

Jenna smirked and wiggled her eyebrows at Louisa. She was a dick magnet. Jenna usually knew what she wanted and went after it, no hesitation. She honestly couldn't remember her last relationship, she had weird flings that satisfied her needs of having one but they were never official. Just fuck buddies. That's all anyone ever ended up being for her. Hopefully not with Matt though. She was really getting ahead of herself, she needed to stop. "He may have," she said, closing the book and pulling her jacket on. "But it's not like I haven't been thinking about it for a while. I could start it but I'd never be able to finish it," she said with a sigh, shaking her head. Jenna walked out of the shop with Louisa, letting her lock up before getting in the car. They usually drove together to save on gas since they lived together. "What do you want for dinner? I'm starving, I want something really good and yummy," she said, rubbing her tummy. "I wonder what kind of food Matt eats. Probably really healthy. I can go for that if he makes it. I'll eat any food anyone puts in front of me," she said with a laugh. Jenna would eat anything. Though she wasn't really a big fan of greasy food, it made her pretty sick. But she couldn't say she ate terrible either. She just didn't focus on eating really healthy.

"Well I'll help you design a half sleeve if you help me design the rest of mine," Louisa laughed, making a final check on everything. "I wanna turn this into a full sleeve." She'd wanted to make her half sleeve a full sleeve for the longest time, but seeing Zacky's tattoos today had reminded her how how much she wanted to do that. He had full sleeves on both arms, and she loved it. She shrugged her shoulders when Jenna asked what she wanted for dinner, sticking the keys into the ignition and starting the car. "I don't know. How about spaghetti? That's pretty easy to make. And I think we've still got some frozen meatballs we can toss in there. And he probably does eat healthy. You've seen his body. Does that look like the body of a man who eats a ton of junk food?" Louisa snickered, starting the car and driving to their apartment, shivering as she stepped out of the car. She could hardly believe it was almost November. But that just meant she would get to fly home soon to see her family. After tossing her keys onto the counter, Louisa headed down the hall to her room to change clothes, tugging on a sweatshirt before going back to the kitchen. "So I'm gonna start on the pasta and you can warm up the meatballs, yeah?" she said, grinning at Jenna. "And ooh, since we're gonna have girl talk, we should have a little wine. Getting wine-drunk and gushing about boys is always fun."

---

After realizing that she wasn't going to be getting any more chicken, Bella laid down on the floor at Matt's feet. He rolled his eyes at the dog. She always found a way to get right in his way. He poured her a little food before fixing his plate, grabbing another beer from the fridge before grabbing utensils and going into the living room. With the way he drank, he probably drank at least half of his calories. Not that he counted or anything. He flipped on the TV and turned it to the news, mindlessly eating as he watched and only breaking away when his phone vibrated. An alert that he had a message from Zacky flashed on the screen, and Matt laughed when he read it. Damn, if Zacky was trying to get with a preacher's daughter, that would be fucking hilarious. I don't know dude, you'd have to ask her. I bet she's either that or a farmer's daughter. Or maybe both. Matt tossed his phone to the side and continued eating. And now that he thought about it, he wondered if there was anything special about Jenna like that. Like was her dad a cop? That would be shitty. It wasn't like he was a criminal or anything, but he and the other guys definitely dabbled in a few less than legal things. And he would hate to be busted, especially by Jenna's dad. If he was even a cop. For all Matt knew, he could work in a cubicle or some shit.

@ ZackyEffingVengeance
Zacky finished up his pizza, his phone going off. He picked it up, reading Matt's text. Jesus, a farmer's daughter? Or both? That would be fucking inane. What if things got sort of serious between them and Zacky took her home for something and he got to meet her parents and see where she grew up. Can you imagine how insane that would be? Extremely hot, like playboy fantasies come true and all. But insane. I wonder if your little Jenna has any hidden secrets ;) he replied, snickering to himself. Zacky got up and grabbed his plate, heading into his kitchen and putting the dirty dishes in the dish washer. He went back into the living room and shut the tv off, grabbing his beer and heading up the stairs to his bedroom. The dogs followed happily, knowing exactly where he was going. "You two are just about as lazy as I am," he said with a content sigh, stripping off everything but his boxers and plopping down onto his bed. He pulled out his phone and began googling, looking for the tattoo shop and trying to find a little bit more information on Louisa and Jenna. He got their last names, so that was a plus. He liked the shop on facebook before going even further into being a stalker and looking up Louisa's social media. "Yeah, I really need a hobby," he said to Icky, shaking his head and running a hand down his face. He was going just a tad but to far, but what she didn't know wouldn't hurt her, right? Anyone could totally do this. Hell, every little bit of his life was on the internet now. Down to the mole on his butt crack, so what do you do.

---

Adelaide agreed on spaghetti, thinking that sounded really good. She went into the apartment and changed into her pajamas and went on to work on the meatballs, laughing when she mentioned wine. "Oh my goodness, wine sounds freaking amazing," she said, bouncing on the balls of her feet. "Nothing like some good food, wine, pillows and blankets in the living room, and a bunch of boy gossip to make you feel like a little teeny bopper again," she said with a nod. Jenna couldn't wait to talk about the guys that they had met today. She wished she had gotten Matt's number. Maybe it was on google? If it was there would be so many crazed fans calling him in the middle of the night moaning his name, like she would probably do. Jenna snickered at the thought. She was terrible. "We're like love sick puppies with guys that might or might now have interest in us. Actually, no, I take that back. You know Zacky does because you flirted with him for like, hours, me and Matt? Dude, I don't know what kind of conversation we had besides talking about my hidden tattoos and my no underwear problem. I'm getting way in over my head." Jenna was starting to freak out a little. She felt like she was building some sort of fantasy up in her head of something that was literally never going to happen. She needed to come down to earth and get a grip on reality before it slapped her ass right in the damn face. Besides, she had no idea if he was even single. They didn't even get that far in the conversation. But she was going to make damn sure that she found out next week when she saw him.

"It's settled then. Mission get wine drunk and fantasize about sexy tattooed men is a go," Louisa laughed. She poured the spaghetti noodles into the pot once the water had started to boil, grabbing another small pot to start the spaghetti sauce in. She was more excited about their plans for the evening than she probably should be, but it would be fun to act like teenagers again. Even though the nights she'd had like this as a teenager didn't involve wine or the sexually explicit subject matter that was sure to arise. "Oh please honey, you don't have to do a lot of talking to get Matt to like you, all you have to do is walk into a room," Louisa laughed, looking over at Jenna. She wiggled her eyebrows. "All you've got to do is walk into a room. And you did mention that you don't wear underwear, so I'm sure that peaked his attention. But don't worry about all of that! Tonight isn't about knowing for sure that they like us, it's about fantasizing. And you do have next week to find out more about him. Hell, you could probably look him up on the internet to find out more about him. He's a rockstar for crying out loud." Louisa glanced over at her phone when the screen lit up, seeing an alert from the shop's facebook page. "Oh my God, Zacky liked the shop on facebook," she told Jenna, grinning excitedly. Biting her lip, she went to his profile and from her own personal profile, she sent him a friend's request. What could it hurt? The least he could do was decline it. "I sent him a friend's request," Louisa said. "Should I have done that? What if he thinks I'm weird for doing that? God, I think I'm going to cancel the request."

---

Matt changed the channel to Family Guy, letting Bella lick his plate clean before setting it on the coffee table. He was a damn good cook, which was something a lot of people didn't know about him. Maybe he could use that to his advantage too, since he was sure most girls liked guys who could cook. Hell, maybe that could be what he did with Jenna, whenever he asked her out. Kicking back on the couch again, Matt reached for his phone when it vibrated again. He chuckled at Zacky's message. And how exactly would it be hot if Louisa was a preacher's daughter? I think it would be fucking hilarious, regardless. But I'm sure Jenna does have a few little secrets. I just hope it's not that her dad is a cop or some shit. Can you imagine that? But I guess it would be kind of hot. Matt was sure his reasoning for thinking that dating a cop's daughter would be hot was the same as Zacky's reasoning for thinking dating a preacher's daughter would be hot. As a cop's daughter Jenna would ideally be some sweet, innocent little girl that he could corrupt and make no so innocent anymore. But he was getting ahead of himself here. The chances that Jenna's dad was actually a cop was slim to none. He might have some boring job in a cubicle. But that wasn't a super big deal, because he wasn't really in this just to get into Jenna's pants. He actually wanted to get to know her a little better. And if her dad had a boring job, that might make him seem exciting, since he was a rockstar and whatnot.

@ ZackyEffingVengeance
Zacky dropped his phone on his face when it vibrated multiple times, signaling facebook and a text. He scrambled to get it, going straight for the facebook notification first. "Oh sweet cumfarts," he said, his eyes wide as he saw that Louisa added him on facebook. He quickly accepted the request, feeling like he couldn't get to his text messages fast enough so he could tell Matt. DUUUUUDE. You'll never guess what just happened. I liked Louisa's shop on facebook so then she went and added me so now we're facebook friends. It's official. It's facebook official, man. he replied, biting down on his bottom lip. He wasn't sure if he should go and send her a message or not. Would that be going to far? He really wanted to talk to her though. But he didn't want to act like some teenage boy with an obsessive crush, even though they was totally how he felt right now. "Okay, guys. I'm going to do it," he said to the dogs with a nod, going to Louisa's page. There were pictures of her and Jenna most recently plastered everywhere, obviously they were pretty good friends. He hit message, trying to decide on what he wanted to type. Fancy seeing you here. he sent, rolling his eyes at himself. He was seriously next level dork. He was starting to get worse than Jimmy. Maybe spending all of that time on tour with him this time around did him more harm than good.

---

Jenna sighed, shrugging. Maybe Louisa was right, but who knows. She'll just not let it bother her tonight and let her inner teenager out. Obsesses over a sexy rockstar like every over girl in the world. Jenna's eyes widened when Louisa said that Zacky liked the shops's page, squealing and running over to her to look over her shoulder at her phone. "You better keep that request," she said, right as she got a notification that he accepted her add. "Oh my god, oh my god," she said as she bounced around, really excited for her friend. "Message him! Go on!" She said, blinking when a ding came from her phone that said that she had a facebook message. "Damn, I swear I'm physic," she said with a snap, walking over and checking on her meatballls. She kind of wanted to stalk Matt and add him on facebook. Would that be completely unprofessional? She pulled out her phone and went on Louisa's page, then Zacky's, finding Matt. She looked through the pictures that he had public before adding him, biting the bullet. She didn't care. What was the worst that could happen, he decline it and then next week it be all awkward? Totally okay. She didn't need new clients anyways. "I added Matt. Do I feel like every organ in my body is about to come up through my throut? Fuck yes. Do I regret it? Hell no."

Before Louisa could even really consider canceling the request, she got a notification that Zacky had accepted it. Damn, he must have his phone in his hand. Probably doing a little facebook stalking. She glanced over at Jenna when the other girl started to bounce around, ready to bite the bullet and just message Zacky like Jenna suggested when she got another alert that he'd messaged her first. She took a deep breath, opening his message and chuckling softly when she read it. What a dork. But he was a cute dork, so it didn't matter. Louisa didn't know what she wanted to say in response, so she sat her phone aside for the time being, turning her attention to Jenna and the food. "Just remember that you have to wait until you're done tattooing him before you can screw him," she told Jenna, hearing that she'd added Matt on facebook. "But as soon as you stick that cling wrap on his chest, feel free to rip his pants off, too." Louisa finally decided what she wanted to type to Zacky, and she picked up her phone as she stirred the spaghetti, typing out her message. Yeah, who would've thought that we would run into each other on facebook of all places? "Man, I have so many terrible pictures on facebook!" Louisa exclaimed, setting her phone down. "What if Zacky stalks me and sees them?"

---

Matt reached for his phone when it vibrated, actually laughing out loud at Zacky's message. Jesus Christ, he was such a girl sometimes. DUUUUUDE. You're such a fucking girl, I'm sitting in my room laughing my ass off right now. But that's great, man. Now you can continue to show her what a fucking dork you are. Matt set his phone aside, only to have it ping a few seconds later. That wasn't a text message. He picked it up, raising an eyebrow when he saw that he had a new friends request from someone named Jenna Ashburn. That had to be her. He clicked on the request and went to her page, smiling when he saw numerous pictures of Jenna and the blonde girl who'd been bothering Zacky while they at the shop. He accepted the request and quickly went to the messenger, typing out a quick message to Jenna. Guess you couldn't wait a whole week to see my gorgeous face again, huh? After sending the message, Matt went back to his texts and sent a text to Zacky. Looks like you're not the only one who got a friend's request.

@ ZackyEffingVengeance

Zacky poured when he read Matt's text. You laugh all you want to. Jenna probably just added you on facebook to tell you that your pits stink and she couldn't tattoo you anymore without a gas mask. he replied, flicking his phone off as it sent. He probably was being a bit girly, but he couldn't help himself. It didn't help the fact that he was just a bit buzzed from the few beers he had with his dinner and he was getting a bit tired. He went back on facebook to check his messages, chuckling as he read Louisa's. I know! It's a small world after all. It's not like you own a pretty hip shop or I'm in a happenin' band or anything, or that google isn't a thing. Zacky really needed to learn how to talk to girls. He wondered if there was a manual for smooth talking to the ladies when you were half dead and snuggling with your dog. He could totally smooth talk her panties right off into his bed right now if he wanted to, but he didn't want a one night stand with her. He wanted to get to know her and have something that might actually last. She seemed like a great girl and he wanted to know more about her than the little bit she told him in the tattoo shop.

Jenna scoffed. "The same goes for you. No screwing tubby until you slap on that cling wrap on in exchange for a condom," she said, wiggling her eyebrows. Jenna finished up the meatballs, setting them aside so they can go in the spaghetti. She pulled out some plates and wine glasses, along with a bottle of wine. She was totally impatient and couldn't wait any longer to have a drink. She poured herself and Louisa both a glass, taking a long sip of hers with a satisfied sigh. She only enjoyed wine when she was really in the mood for it, or it was all she had. She was a hard liquor person. Jenna jumped when her phone went off, fishing it out of her pocket. Her heart began thudding wildly in her chest as she saw that Matt had accepted her request and had sent her a message. "Oh snap, buff boy sent me a message," she said, opening it and smirking at what it said. Of course I couldn't, sugarplum. Your dimpled smile is just to much to stay away from. she replied, swaying back and forth where she was standing. Jenna raised a brow as she looked up at Louisa, wondering what she was talking about. "You don't have any bad pictures, you don't even know what you're talking about," she said with a wave of her hand. Louisa couldn't take a bad picture to save her life. Zacky was probably going to love them all and save them to his phone like some creep or something. At least that's what Jenna would do, but she was a total creepy anyways.

"Excuse you, what kind of girl do you think I am?" Louisa gasped dramatically. "I never use condoms," she added, laughing at her own little joke. She drained the water from the spaghetti and poured the sauce inside, mixing it together before taking a sip of her wine. "And he's not tubby, he's fluffy. And that just means he's cuddlier than your little buff boy. And he's got more cushion for the ride." She laughed as she grabbed a plate, spooning a little spaghetti onto it, along with a few meatballs. As she sat down, Louisa took a sip of her wine and unlocked her phone, opening the facebook message from Zacky and laughing. Hip? Happening? I wasn't aware we were living in the 1970s, darlin'. Okay, so maybe Zacky wouldn't really be able to hear her accent through facebook message, but maybe he could imagine it. Louisa stabbed a meatball, stuffing it into her mouth and chewing as she watched Jenna type away on her phone. She smirked. "See, all that worrying you were doing about Matt not liking you was for nothing," Louisa drawled. "Looks like we both stand a high chance of getting laid very soon. And pssh, yes I do," she added, moving on to the subject of her pictures. "I was in a sorority in college, I went to way too many frat parties and was tagged in way too many drunk pictures."

---

Matt scoffed when he read Zacky's message. He went to his facebook message thread with Jenna and took a screenshot, which he sent to Zacky. Looks like you're wrong, dork. She likes my dimpled smile. After making sure the picture had sent, Matt went back to his message thread with Jenna so that he could actually message her back. Well I'm glad to know that my dimples still have their intended effect ;) but I'm going to be a little honest here and tell you that I don't really plan on using them for that purpose this time around. He was sure that message would make no sense at all to Jenna, but it made sense in his head. He knew that women loved his dimples, and he usually used that to help charm their pants off. But as much as he enjoyed this sort of flirting with Jenna, he didn't want to do this with her. He actually wanted to get to know her a little better, take her on an actual date, things like that. That didn't mean he didn't want to fuck her, because he would be lying if he said he didn't. He just didn't want that to be his end goal with her. Maybe it was because they talked so easily, and she had no problem saying exactly what she was thinking. Matt knew too many girls who bit their tongues because they were afraid of saying the wrong thing.

Zacky chuckled at Matt's screen shot. Thats right, Shadz. Use them magic dimples to get her in that warm and cozy bed of yours. (; he replied, snickering to himself. Matt could always get the ladies with that dimpled smile of his. One shot of that their way and they were done for. Zacky used to always be jealous of that during high school at parties and stuff because he always got the hottest girls because of it. He sighed and shook his head, going back on to facebook and reading his messages. It was actually pretty scary how he read her message in her cute little accent. Oh, you didn't know? I could have sworn everyone knew that today was national 70's day. Anywho, what are you up to, beautiful? he replied, biting down on his bottom lip. He didn't want to come on real strong with the flirting but he didn't want to make it seem like he wasn't interested. He just wanted to call her cute little names and give her a bunch of compliments. Maybe that was coming on a bit strong. Oh well, as long as he didn't get a creeped out vibe from her then all was well in the world. So far whatever he was doing was totally working so he was going to keep us with it. Zacky just really hoped that eventually he'd stop being a complete fucking dork around her. But who knows, she just might make him become more of one if his feelings for her got deeper.

Jenna made herself a plate, sitting down with her wine and her phone. She looked up at Louisa and smirked, wiggling her brow. She looked down at her phone as she read her new message from Matt, her wiggle turning into a furrow. "I think Matt wants to kill me with his dimples," she said, tilting her head to the side. What purpose did he intend to do with his dimples if he didn't want to charm her or be cute with them or something? Make her dislike him? Murder her? That was a scary though, but kind of funny. An extremely hilarious headline to wake up to in the morning. What do you plan on doing with them then, sir? Make me dislike you? Murder me? You'll be "Matt The Dimpled Slayer" she replied with a snort shoving a meatball in her mouth. Jenna looked up at Louisa, her eyes widening. "You were in a sorority? How come I'm just now finding out about this?! Girl, I can't even picture that," she said as she giggled. Looking at Louisa in front of her right now she wouldnt in a million years imagine her in a sorority. At least stereotypically. Jenna didn't do all of that fun stuff in college, she just went to class and that was it. She didn't have that many friends, at least ones that understood her or anything. "He's going to love snooping through your pictures, I can't believe I haven't snooped through your pictures. I really need to do that later, oh my goodness."

"Matt wants to kill you with his dimples?" Louisa snorted, sipping at her wine. She couldn't imagine how he would do that, unless he used them to charm Jenna into his bed and then choked her or something. Louisa shook her head, chewing on a mouthful of spaghetti as she read over her new message from Zacky. She smiled to herself, blushing just a little. Beautiful. He called her beautiful. She didn't know why that made her blush, it wasn't like she'd never been called beautiful by a guy before. Maybe it was because of the way things had ended with Jay. She definitely hadn't felt beautiful when she caught him in bed with someone else for the third time. No, I didn't know that. But thanks for enlightening me, darlin'. And right now I'm just eating dinner with Jenna. We're gonna get wine drunk and talk about these cute guys we met at work today. Louisa bit her lip as she sent the message. She could feel herself liking Zacky more and more and it made her feel like a teenager. Wow, she was really getting ahead of herself. She didn't know if Zacky actually liked her or if he was just flirting with her to get into her pants. Louisa set her phone down on the table, smiling and groaning when Jenna mentioned something about not believing that she'd been in a sorority in college. "I was in the Alpha Upsilon chapter of Alpha Chi Omega. I only joined at first because I didn't want to live in the dorms, but I ended up having a lot of fun. And frat parties were a great way to get laid. Oh my God, stop reminding me that Zacky might look through my pictures," Louisa laughed, taking a sip of her wine. "I can't imagine how he's going to react when he finds out I was in a sorority."

---

Matt chuckled at Zacky's response to his screenshot. Oh trust me, I will. And probably waaaaaay before you have your little redneck in your bed. The guys always liked to mess with each other about who would get laid first, although it was usually with girls they picked up at bars. He absentmindedly scratched Bella's ears as he watched TV, only stopping when his phone vibrated again. He saw that he had a message from Jenna, laughing out loud when he read it. Well that wasn't quite the direction I was heading in, but I do like it when you call me sir ;) what I meant was that I usually use my cute little dimpled smile to charm girls into my bed, but I'm not going to do that with you. He really hoped Jenna wasn't the rare sort of girl who was put off by the fact that Matt wanted an actual relationship more than a quick fling or a fuck buddy. He was twenty five now, and he felt like he was starting to grow out of that sort of lifestyle. It wasn't like he wanted to get married and have kids or anything right away, but it would be nice to wake up to the same face on the pillow next to him everyday. And Matt felt like Jenna was a pretty compatible match for him, even from the short amount of time they'd spent together at the tattoo shop. Matt glanced down at Bella when she started to whine at him, reluctantly peeling himself from the couch to take her out to the backyard. "You're so needy," Matt said. Wow, did he really just tease his dog? Now he knew he definitely needed a girlfriend.

@ ZackyEffingVengeance
Zacky made a face at Matt's text, shaking his head even though the other man couldn't see him. Are you sure about that, Sanders? Just because you have them dimples and that body doesn't mean you're going to get Jenna into your bed any faster than I'll get My little redneck. I could have her in a weeks tops if I wanted. he replied, getting all riled up. Matt knew how to push his little buttons. Zacky shook his head, going to Louisa's facebook and deciding to do a little bit of stalking. He wanted to see if he could find any more pictures, and behold, he found a goldmine of them. She must have only met Jenna when she opened her shop, which made sense. There were no pictures of them together before that. Zacky was having a ball looking through all of the old pictures, his eyes widening when he saw an old picture from college. Louisa was apparently in a sorority. The picture was of her doing a keg stand and Zacky was totally flipping his shit. He took a screen shot of it and sent it to Matt, saying oh my god, look, she knows how to do a leg stand! little did Zacky know though that he had accidentally liked the picture. That was rule number one of stalking, never like an extremely old picture. That was like sending alarms off everywhere. Zacky kept going through her pictures, a goofy grin on his face. He was definitely going to have to somehow get her to tell him about her college days.

---

Jenna poured and shrugged, taking a sip of her wine. It was totally possible. Like it one of those movies where the guy would take one look at the girl and she just fainted on the spot. The wine was totally kicking in now. Jenna looked down at her phone as it pinged, reading the messsge. She blushed when she read that he did like it when she called him sir, rolling her eyes a bit. Sir, yes, sir. I would salute you right now if I could. So if you're not going to charm me with those dimples into your bed, how else are we going to get to cuddle? That's totally not fair. But I guess there's no cuddling on the first date, huh? Netflix and cuddles, perfect first date if I do say so myself. Jenna was a simple person when it came to dates. She didn't like fancy or anything really over the top. She liked going out or staying in for a movie with take out or going to a carnival. Anything that didn't require very much money. She hated it when someone had to spend any sort of money on her. It just made her feel awful. Jenna raised a brow as she listened to Louisa, shaking her head. "He's going to look and he's going to love it. Seeing you drinking in all those pictures? Hell, I'm sure he'll throw a party just to see if you can party like you did in those pictures," she said with a laugh before taking another bite of her spaghetti. That would be so funny if he really did that. Jenna hoped that they would get to go to one of the guys' parties one day. She heard that they were a freaking blast. Plus, seeing if Louisa could party hard like a rockstar? By far the best entertainment ever.

When a few minutes went by and Zacky hadn't responded to her message, Louisa couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. But she didn't want to seem desperate by double messaging. What would she even say? She ignored her phone for the time being, figuring Zacky just might be busy. She took a big sip of her wine, raising an eyebrow as Jenna spoke. "Man, it would actually be really fucking fun if they invited us to one of their parties," Louisa said. She was sure they threw amazing parties, they were rockstars after all. And if a picture of her possibly hanging on Zacky's arm happened to surface on the internet and Jay happened to see them and get jealous, it would be a win-win situation. "I haven't drank like that since I was in college, though," Louisa added, laughing. Back in the day she would go to a party three nights away and drink herself to a point near alcohol poisoning, but ever since she'd graduated and moved to California, she didn't drink nearly as much. Her phone pinged and Louisa reached for it a little too quickly, hoping that Zacky had finally messaged her back. But he hadn't, and instead she'd received an alert that he'd liked one of her pictures. She clicked on the notification and when she saw which picture it was, her face turned red. "Jesus H. Chris Almighty, he is stalking me!" she exclaimed. She turned the phone around to show Jenna the picture. "This picture is from my sophomore year of college. Damn, he's way far down the rabbit hole, that was like six years ago." Louisa couldn't help but wonder if Zacky knew that he'd liked it. With a grin, she took a screenshot of the notification, sending it to him. I'm very flattered that you're putting so much research into me, darlin' ;)

---

Matt scoffed at Zacky's message. Pretty damn sure, Baker. In fact, she's already asking me how we're supposed to cuddle. Matt shoved his phone into his pocket, leaning against a column on his back porch as he waited for Bella to finish using the bathroom. He honestly had no idea if he'd have Jenna in bed before Zacky had Louisa. He just liked to press the guitarist's buttons and he knew that was one of them. Soon Bella decided she was finished and Matt let her back inside, going to the fridge to get another beer before returning to the living room. As he sat down on the couch, his phone pinged. It was a message from Jenna, and Matt smirked when he read it. Well if you want to cuddle, then jump right on into my bed, sweetheart. And we can cuddle on the first date. Whoever said we can't? But if I take you on a date, it's going to be something more exciting than Netflix and cuddling. I'm M. Shadows, I know how to have fun. But we could always watch Netflix and cuddle afterwards. Just be warned that it'll probably lead to something else ;) "Jesus Christ, that message was a giant clusterfuck," Matt mumbled to himself, reading over the message after he'd sent it. He was so used to just trying to get girls into bed that trying to do anything else sometimes came out a little awkward. His phone vibrated and he saw another text from Zacky, with a picture attached. It was one of Louisa doing a keg stand, with some ridiculous caption from Zack. That's cool, man. Wonder if she can stil do that? You'll have to test it out. Matt wondered if Jenna drank. She didn't seem like the type, though. But then again, Louisa didn't seem like the type to do a keg stand. Matt could see Jenna being one of those girls that drank fruity drinks like margaritas or daiquiris.

Zacky stopped his deep photo stalking, checking his messages. His eyes widened when he saw the screen shot that Louisa sent him, jumping up out of his bed and pacing back and forth. "Shit, oh god, I can't believe I did that," he said as he ran a hand through his hair. He was totally flipping shit. He took a screen shot of the chat before replying to her. Oh Jesus Johnny Christ. Did I really do that? I was trying to be so sneaky too. My ninja skills failed me. I'm super embarrassed lol. he sent before going to his text messages. He didn't even care about whatever else Matt said before, right now Zacky was freaking out. He sent Matt the screen shot, along with I fucking liked her picture that I sent you. I don't know when or how I did it, but I did. She saw it and said something. Do you know how embarrassing that is. I think I might actually die or something I'm not sure yet. Zacky groaned, shaking his head before he stopped pacing. He looked at his dogs on his bed, sighing heavily. They looked so content and worry free "Dicks," he grumbled before flopping back down. There was no way that Louisa was going to want anything to do with him now. He just proved that he was a total creeper. What was he going to do if she decided that she didn't want to talk to him anymore after the tattoo? Well, he guessed he was going to have to just move on like he never met a hot southern tattoo artist that made him blush like crazy. That was actually a hell of a lot easier said than done. Matt seemed like he was having an Easier time with Jenna. If Zacky had better skills in this department than none of this would be happening right now. Who was he kidding? It totally would be, he was just that nosey, he couldn't help himself. He liked stalking facebook profiles.

Jenna was drinking some of her wine when Louisa showed her the notification, choking on it and almost spitting all over the place. "Oh my goodness, that's great. Pure gold, I didn't think he'd really do it," she said as she laughed, shaking her head. That was totally cute though. He was acting like a little teenage boy with a crush, just like her and Louisa were acting about him and Matt. "That's so adorable though. He's trying to study up on you before he sees you," she said as her laughter calmed. She finished off her spaghetti, pushing her plate aside and working on her wine. She picked up her phone when it buzzed, reading the message from Matt with a small giggle. He was totally cute. You're cute. As long as no slimey bars or fancy places are involved I'm down. But after wards we can "cuddle" at your place because I've already gotten a lecture from Louisa that I'm not allowed to do any of the sort while she's home, and she's always home. :( she replied, taking yet another sip of her wine. She pretty much just gave it away that they've been talking about him, but she didn't care. His imagination could run wild with that. Jenna didn't even want to tell him just her why she wasn't allowed to have sex in the apartment while Louisa was home anymore. Apparently she was way to loud, not that she could help it. It totally wasn't her fault. "I hope something super fantastic comes out of this. Wouldn't it be great if we were best buds with the rest of the guys and we hung out with all of them? And we got to do some tattoos on them too. Oh, and the shop got really well known because our new boyfriends totally put the word out like crazy people?" Jenna couldn't help but fantasize. This was the first time she had been truly interested in someone in a long time and it just had to be a famous rockstar.

"And he's so embarrassed about it too, it's so cute," Louisa told Jenna, reading over Zacky's message. She wondered if he was blushing. He probably was and she wished she could see it. Aww, no need to be embarrassed, darlin'. Like I said, I'm flattered. And I think it's cute. You're a little cutie pie. She giggled as she sent the message, setting her phone back on the table to finish off her food. He was acting like a teenager too, which made Louisa feel so much better about how her and Jenna were acting. She finished off her glass of wine and reached for the bottle to pour herself another glass, topping off Jenna's glass as well. Louisa laughed as Jenna started to gush about what she hoped would happen. "That would be amazing," she said. "Can you imagine us being friends with rockstars? We'd probably get to be like their personal tattoo artists, and ooh, maybe we'd get to tattoo other rockstars, too! And you totally just called Matt and Zacky our boyfriends." Louisa added the last bit with a giggle, taking a large sip of her wine. She didn't care if she barely knew Zacky, she liked the idea of him being her boyfriend, even if she hadn't been broken up with Jay for all that long. "So," Louisa started, leaning forward onto her elbows. "Let's change the subject a little. What do you think Matt is like in bed?"

---

Matt opened his message from Zacky, and for the second time that evening, laughed out loud when he read. Way to fucking go, dude! She probably thinks you're a total creeper now. Excellent job Zack, excellent job. What he wanted to know is how the fuck Zacky managed to accidentally like one of Louisa's pictures. But it was hilarious either way, especially since she called him out on it. Matt reached for the blanket he kept over the back of his couch, tugging it over his legs as he heard his phone ping. He quickly opened his message from Jenna, smirking to himself as he read it. Nope, no slimy bars or fancy places. Save those for like the fourth date or something. And wherever you want to "cuddle" is fine with me, sweetheart. I wouldn't want to scar Louisa or anything. But I have a feeling that Zacky might be getting her out of the house a lot more often once he stops being a creepy stalker and asks her out. So we can "cuddle" at your place, too ;) Matt wondered if there was any special reason that Jenna was allowed to have sex while Louisa was home, besides the issue of common roommate courtesy. Ooh, what if she was really loud in bed? God, wouldn't that be fantastic. If there was one thing that Matt loved, it was a girl who actually made a little noise when he was fucking her, and one who was vocal about what she wanted instead of just laying there and making him assume. He wasn't a mind reader, especially when he was thinking with his dick.

Zacky heard his phone go off and he didn't think he could read Louisa's message fast enough. He grinned, not believing she just called him a cutie pie. Why thank you, glad you don't think I'm some total creeper. ;) So, Miss Louisa. Tell me a bit more about yourself. What are some of your favorite places to go? he sent, wanting to get some sort of idea on how to plan their first date when it came time to it. There was definitely going to be one, there was no doubt about that. But he wanted it to be perfect, something that she would most definitely enjoy and something they would both remember for the rest of their lives. Zacky opened his text messsges, rolling his eyes as he read Matt's text. Its okay, she totally said I was a cutie pie and thought it was cute. So win for me. Why don't you stalk your lovebird on facebook or something so I'm not the only idiot around here. he replied, sighing as he turned the tv on to some old horror movie. He had no idea why he was just sitting in the dark. The only thing he could hear were the sounds of Majesty snoring down by his feet, which really were kind of soothing so it didn't really matter if he turned the tv on or not. Zacky decided to flip the channel onto something else, definitely not in the mood for fake gore. He looked beside him, really wishing there was someone else there. These were the moments that he really wished he had a girlfriend to spend his nights with. He was starting to want to just settle down and have a long term relationship.

---

Jenna giggled, shaking her head and thanking her for the wine. "That is pretty cute," she said, taking a sip of her wine. "Tattooing a bunch of rockstars would be living the absolute dream. I can't even imagine, honestly," she said, her eyes widening when Louisa said she called the guys their boyfriends. She blushed and shrugged. "Just playing out the fantasy here," she said with a giggle. Of course she would love for that to happen for them but she totally didn't want to jump the gun. They still didn't know that much about them. What if they didn't like their personalities as much as they thought they did? Anything could happen. You just never know. "I bet Matt is one kinky bastard. He's already hinted that he likes being called sir," she said with a smirk. Jenna didn't really want to have sex with Matt anytime soon. She wanted to build the sexual tension and it was definitely building. She wanted to hold out for at least a few dates. Unless they really just couldn't control it and just kind of went at it like baby monkeys, then what can you do. "What do you think Zacky is like in bed?" she asked Louisa, messing with the stem of her wine glass. She could already feel a slight buzz and she's probably only had a total of two glasses but she was also pretty tired.
