I turned over my shoulder and smiled sweetly at the giant "I hope the actor who plays you for the reconstruction video in the crime documentary of us captures all of your ugliness."

The theme of bright lights continued inside the shop. The stairs led to a large room lit up by neon signs. There was no normal lightbulbs or lamps. Everything was a bright purple, blue and green. It was like the northern lights compacted into a small space.

Covering the walls was sketches of all different kinds of things. From animals to portraits of people to landscapes of cities.

I stepped closer to admire the drawings as Stone went further into the shop to start talking to someone.

One drawing in particular caught my eye as I flicked my gaze over the wall of sketches.

It was a dragon. The creature took up the whole space of the paper. The curl of the tail reached the bottom of the page. It was extremely detailed from the talons to the few flowers at each side of the fire breathing creature.

The dragon looked like something straight out of a storybook. A fairytale came to life. I instantly fell in love with it.

"That would suit you." An unfamiliar voice called.

I turned from the drawing and hurried over to the two guys.

Stone's dark eyes watched me as I joined him at his side.

I forcefully drew my attention away from him to look at the other guy in the room.

The stranger had hair that was a mixture of red and brown. He was skinny with a larger height than me. He was nowhere near the height of the giant, however. Overall, he was quite handsome. The rounded glasses perched on his nose suited him.

I might have found him attractive if I was not too busy looking at the larger male beside me.

The red headed stranger smiled and let out a laugh when I looked back up at Stone.

Shaking myself out of the eye lock, I spoke to the other person in the room "Hi. I am Ella."

"Oh. I know." The stranger grinned "I am Reed. It is great to finally meet you, Ella."

"It is nice to meet you too." I said back before I asked, "Are you a friend of Stone's?"

Reed let out a chuckle "I do not think Stone would class me as his friend. He does not have friends. Non-sociable asshole that he is."

I nudged upwards at Stone's ribs and stage whispered, "I like this guy already."

The giant glared at Reed before he finally spoke up in his rough sounding voice "Are you going to start this tattoo or not?"

The poor tattooist rolled his eyes at his rudeness and turned to me "How do you put up with him every day?"

Laughing, I grinned wickedly at the subject of conversation "It is hard work, I will give you that."
