Picture Perfect
Chapter 9

Jane handed Casey the keys to the Civic and watched as she scampered off.

"Well, at least she's dressed better," Jane mumbled to herself, referring to Casey's black halter top, jeans and flip flops.

Casey started the engine and scanned through at least ten stations before she found anything halfway decent. She sped out of the garage and cruised the streets for something to do…

Half an hour later she was set for the day….

"So is there anything new going on in your lives today?" asked the DJ. AJ smirked and leaned up to his mic.

"Oh yeah, Nick's got a wicked house mate now. Quite a talker."

"AJ, man!" Nick whined.

"A new house mate Nick?" the DJ asked with a smirk on his face.

"Yeah. My mom's friends' daughter is living with us for a while. She's a little mouthy."

"She spits out fireballs is more like it!" laughed AJ. "Nah, but seriously, she's just got a little bit of an attitude."

After the radio interview was over, Nick slapped AJ on the back of his head.

"Thank you for revealing my personal life to the whole world Bone. I don't want people knowing that that loud mouthed creature is hibernating in our home. It's bad enough that she's there, don't put salt in the wound."

Nick and AJ walked up to their respective cars. AJ was just glancing around the nearby streets when he noticed something that caught him off guard.

"Nick, isn't that your old Civic?" he asked, pointing across the street.

Nick looked to the direction which he was pointing. "Looks like it. But it's front of a tattoo parlor so…. Holy shit…."

AJ laughed. "You're not thinking that…"

"Queen bitch is getting a tattoo?" he asked himself.

"Hmm, even more reason to like her. Look, don't be mean to her. Just go over there and be nice."

"Yeah and while I'm doing that why don't you go remove all your tattoos. Not going to happen." Nick got in his car and drove it across the street. He parked it next to the Civic and walked into the tattoo parlor. There before him, sitting in a reclined chair, sat Casey, getting her belly button pierced.

"Fuck! God that hurts!" she screamed.

"Done," said a big dude with tattoos on every inch of his body.

"Great" smiled Casey as she admired her new piercing. When she looked up her smile faded. "For heavens sake, are you following me around?"

"What on earth did you do to yourself?" he asked.

Casey showed off her belly ring to him. "Oh, and don't forget this," she said before sticking out her tongue to reveal another piercing, in her tongue. "Oh, but this takes the cake. Take a look at this Susie Q." Casey held up her foot to reveal a gecko tattoo on her left foot.

Nick looked at her, disgusted. "You are one fucked up bitch."

"Well I guess it takes one to know one, doesn't it?"
