I walk into the palace and great Aurora as I walk up to her. She was dressed in a small black dress and I knew she had just come from a meeting. "Hello lovely, how are you?" She asks smiling as she looked up from her notepad. I give back a small smile and ask, "Where is Max?" She pouts and places a hand on her hip, pointing to his office. I nod and mouth a thank you as I walk in, locking the door behind me. "Wyatt my boy, have a seat." He says and I sit down with a deep furrow set in my brow. "What's wrong you look upset? Did that gig go wrong last night? I swear Joshua told me he wasn't going to get you into any of the weird stations they have there." He rushes out and I shake my head and he sighs as he lights a cigarette.  "No nothing too bad, just some masochists. But, guess who was one of those masochists last night?" I say and he raises a brow. "Who?" He says, stretching in his seat. His leather coat creaking ain't the leather chair. "Ivy Lynn." I say and he sits up so fast his chair flips back. I chuckle but he waists no time as he gets up and runs to sit on the desk right in front of me. He takes another long drag of his cigarette and blows the smoke out beside him.  He grabs my shoulders and smiles. "You saw her? After all this time you finally got to see her?" He asks and I nod. He claps and lets out a satisfied sigh, thrusting his hand in the air. "This isn't the first time I've seen her either. I saw her Tuesday night while I was getting groceries. She was with a guy from my gym, Justin and it was very clear they were together. Then, I saw her last night with a guy named Ronald." I say and he flicks his ashes into a try and rubs his head. "Wait so you're telling me that you have seen her twice in the same week with two different dudes. And one of those dudes was beating her with a f*****g flogger or something and she liked it last night?" He asks and I semi shake my head. "Well actually it was a riding crop and I could tell she didn't enjoy it at all. She wasn't moaning and whimpering she was hissing and flenching." I say and I notice him look off and he smirks at the mention of her moaning. I kick his shin and give him a cold stair. "Stop thinking about my girlfriend moaning." I say and he raises his hand in surrender. "Sorry man, it's just an image I can't erase from my brain." He says standing up and I squeeze the arms of my chair. "Don't make me punch you, Max, I will do it." I threaten and he nods and picks up the chair he so gracefully fell out of. "Deepest of apologies." He says and we sit there in silence and I sigh. "I have to go pick up Venus. I'll talk with you later." I say and leave the room without another word. The air was awkward and I know he felt bad about bringing it up. It kills me at times knowing he did that to her. He didn't penetrate her with anything but his fingers and even then it makes me uneasy. I chuckle that it made me so uneasy when just last night I was listening to how a guy f***s her. All these reminders of how she is in bed takes me back to our experiences. I could listen to her moan all day. I take a deep breath and try to calm down as I pull up to the school. I looked very out of place at this school and I felt like I embarrassed Venus but she assured me that was not true. Still, I always went through the car line.  I pull up to the school and Venus and another little girl jump in the car. I furrow my brows at the other little girl and smile. "And who are you munchkin?" I ask with a smile and she blushes and giggles. "I'm Genie. I'm supposed to get a ride with Venus to go to Mary's party." She says and I nod and turn back around, beginning to drive. "You packed my bag right?" Venus asks and I nod taking it out of the passenger seat and handing it to her. She smiles and looks in the bag to check everything and gives me a curt nod in the mirror. The two of them made mindless chatter about what they did at school at Genie asks Venus, "Is your brother a criminal?" and I hear Venus giggle very loud. "No, he's an actor. Tattoos don't make everyone a criminal Genie." I look in the mirror and notice Genie looking at me with her mouth agape and big eyes. "Woah, that's so cool. My mom always told me only criminals are covered in tattoos. Is he an actor like on Bizardvark?" I park the car and notice children running all around this women's yard and turn around. "As much as I would love to talk about my job, let's get you animals to the party huh?" I chuckle and get out to walk them both up. A women looks at me with wide eyes and looks me up and down in a scared way. She does not seem to like what she sees. "Venus, who is this sweetie?" The women asks, setting her lemonade down and standing up. "I'm her brother. Wyatt Princeton, it's a pleasure. Thank you for having Venus." I say and hold my hand out. She looks at it for a moment and hesitates as she softly shakes it and looks back at Venus. "Where are your parents?" She asks with a raised brow and Venus looks down a bit sad and Genie's eyes widen. "Dead, now if you'll please stop interrogating my sister I believe she would love to go play with your daughter." I say and she narrows her eyes and smiles at Venus. "Go play sweetie. Have fun!" She says and turns back to me. "Don't use that tone with me kid. I just assumed she had parents. You can't blame me for not knowing." She says and I nod. "Yes, but you seem to assume often. Like you probably just assumed I'm a criminal because of all the tattoos I see you eyeballing. But it's okay. I hope you have a good day and a very happy birthday to Mary." I say and turn around with a calm and cool tone about myself. I was used to this due to all my tattoos. So were intrigued, some scared, some turned on. It is what it is. I drive off and hed all the way across town to the tattoo shop. I have spent more time here in the past year than I have at home it seems like. Being around Ivy's friends made me feel close to her in some way. They welcomed me with open arms and it reminded me of her kindness. She accepted me. They accepted me. "Pinhead!" Big Ernie yells as I walk in and I smile, greeting him with a hug. He chuckles with a hardy laugh and I greet Aubrie who is working at her station on someone's back. I sit down in the front and Tatyana and Vicki come from the back with Jaela. Jaela sees me and smiles wide. "Hello precious. How are you today?" She asks and I sigh and smile. "Pretty good. I've seen Ivy twice this week." I say and everyone goes silent. I hear the guy yell at Aubrie and I peek around the corner to see Aubrie looking up at me. "Where did you see her?" Vicki asks with concerned eyes and I glance at Big Ernie who is hopeful. "I seen her at the grocery store and then at a s*x club." I say and I see out the corner of my eye Xander come forward. "How about you keep that to yourself. Ivy's life is none of our business. Especially yours, Wyatt." He says and I stand up off the couch and step forward. Did I say all of her friends excepted me? I meant to not include him in that notion. Xander hated me now. He hated me so much. I knew why. It was because I failed Ivy. I couldn't get her back from the edge. She thinks I cheated on her and honestly it was better than what I did.  "Xander, get off your high horse. I just care about her. That's all." I say and he pushes me. "Apparently you didn't when you were over at Tami's after dropping off that note." He says with a cold voice and I groan and run a hand over my face. I had nothing to say because I couldn't tell anyone why I was over there. I did bad things that day. I got wrapped up in something I will never tell anyone. I wish I could just explain it. But explaining it is the difference between me going to jail or not.
