“I need to watch that movie,” I whisper.

We both laugh and she pulls away nodding. “Tonight, we’ll all stay up and watch it.”

“What about work?” I ask.

“Fuck that, I’ll leave early. I’m not missing a second of this epic adventure,” she says.

Epic adventure.

That says it all.

Chapter 4

“I can’t believe that shit just happened,” Waylen says, again.

I keep flipping through the papers that Lucas Johnson just dropped off. Fucking Lucas Johnson. The man that directed Games. That movie is amazing and holds a popularity that doesn’t happen often with movies. Getting the opportunity to make the design for the next movie is like a dream. I never expected something so huge to walk in the door of my shop.

“It happened and I need to really get to work on some ideas,” I say, looking at him.

“Yeah, of course, go lock yourself away. Harry and I can cover everything,” he says, crossing his arms.

I grab everything in front of me and stand up. “Thanks, man.”

When I designed this shop there was a huge storage room in the back. I had them cut it in half. Half of it is still storage and the other half I turned into an office for myself. I do all my design work in here. I think best in here. I stay focused without the distractions of what is happening out front.

There’s exposed brick on the exterior walls and the walls that have sheetrock are painted a deep green. I have a large wooden desk and leather chair and a design table behind that. I have my favorite designs framed on the walls and bright lights.

It’s my favorite place to be and no one but me is allowed behind the door. Even Harry and Waylen are kept out. It’s my place and mine alone.

I look over the design of the falcon that Lucas left, and I know I can create a better-looking falcon. I do great realistic design and with my black and gray experience, it will look amazing.

I turn to my drafting table and begin sketching out a falcon. I make sure to get the feathers perfect, the beak and talons fierce, and the eyes distinctive.

Before I know it, I’ve been at it for almost three hours.

I lean back in my chair and grin. So far, this design is kickass. The falcon is so damn realistic with his wings spread wide. I need to figure out a background that makes the falcon pop and I think adding more white will do just that.

My phone buzzes and I grab it off the desk.

Waylen: Going to get lunch, I’ll lock up.

I chuckle and stand up, shoving the phone in my pocket. I could use a break and lunch is the perfect distraction.

When I get out to the front, Harry and Waylen are talking about a chick who stopped in. I shake my head and smack them both on the back.

“Always thinking with your dicks,” I say.

Harry laughs, while Waylen shrugs with no apology for his thinking.

“Oh yeah, we think with our dicks but you don’t?” Harry asks, raising an eyebrow.

“I definitely think with my dick but I’m capable of having other thoughts in my head,” I say, grinning.

“Whatever, who gives a shit. We all like fucking. Can we get lunch now, I’m starving,” Waylen says.

Once we get seated at the bar and grill, I ask them what was going on while I was locked away. Nothing big, just a tattoo each and that’s fine by me. Right now my focus is this Hollywood design. I have to present something to Lucas by the end of the week and I intend of blowing his mind.
