Says she loves to talk to Jesus

I've got a really bad case of being good.

“I’m sure you have.” If he was honest, she didn’t strike him as particularly wild, but that wasn’t for him to judge. Jaxon sat back and stretched a little while she looked over the new altered drawing, and once she’d given her approval, he sat forward again. “So, the hip. Show me where you’re thinking.” He requested, picking up his scissors to quickly cut away the excess paper.

“I have,” she said, her voice a little unsteady, but trying to remain strong. She was sick of being seen as the good girl, the one who never rebelled, and this tattoo might just help that. Lifting her shirt a little, she directed him to the fleshier part of her hip. Taking a deep breath she tried to prepare herself for it all. “Should I lie down or?” Mamie asked nervously.

Jaxon nodded. “It’s nice to meet you too. Okay, so, B and M, got it.” He said before going back to sketching. He’d done so much script that he could probably do it in his sleep at this point. “Drinking out of the juice carton? Wow, you’re really wild, aren’t you?” He couldn’t help but tease, his eyes on the piece of paper in front of him as he perfected each of the lines. “Okay,” he said once he was done, “simple, but classy. What do you think?”

Nodding, she watched as he drew the script and smiled. She could hardly believe she’d have it on her forever and was giddy with nerves. “I’ve done lots of wild things,” she blushed, not mentioning any particular details. She wanted desperately to be more worldly, but was raised in such strict confines that it was a struggle. Looking back at the drawing, she smiled. “I love it! I think he will too.”

“Maybe you could go with his first initial and your first initial. Just as another option. So B and, I’m sorry, I didn’t even get your name. Or give you mine. I’m Jaxon.” He said, quickly introducing himself. Usually that was the first thing he did, but because she’d caught him off guard, he’d completely forgotten. “Script is always a little more classy, so I’d go with a script.” Jax nodded.

Mamie thought for a second then nodded. “I like that, then I can add our last name under it when we get married... that is if it doesn’t hurt more than I expect it to,” she chuckled. “Oh, I’m Mary, but everyone calls me Mamie,” she introduce herself. “It’s very nice to meet you Jaxon.” Nodding again she felt herself getting more and more nervous. “Script it is then. I like to think I’m a classy person, even though I sometimes drink out of juice carton when Brooks isn’t home.” 

[mamie-sheehan]

jaxon-moon‌:

“More than you think.” He nodded, his gaze focused on his drawing. “That’s probably a good idea. This show be small enough that it won’t hurt a whole lot, and if it does at least it won’t take too long.” Jax chuckled. “Probably twenty minutes. It won’t take very long.” He assured her. “Right, B.T. Just his initials? Not yours as well?” He asked as he finished up drawing the design. “Do you want the initials in the same kind of font as the original, or something more like a script?”

“I think I can endure twenty minutes,” she said confidently. She was certain she could do anything for twenty minutes if she put her mind to it. “I never thought of mine too, I like that. But should I do my initials as they are now or what they’ll be when we’re married?” Mamie asked. “I think a script might be nice, but whatever you think looks best.” She was surprised by how much she trusted him, usually she was one to nitpick over every detail in her life. But if she was going to throw caution to the wind, she might as well go all the way with it. 

[mamie-sheehan]

jaxon-moon‌:

He nodded, glad she didn’t seem to be offended. “I can work with initials, that’s cool. I’ve had my fair share of people come back pissed after a break-up, so I like to be careful, y’know.” Picking up the sheet of paper with the designs on it, Jaxon quickly traced her chosen design so that he could start making the changes she wanted. “If you wanna put it on your hip, it can go there. No matter where it goes, it’s not gonna be a tickle, it all comes down to your pain tolerance.” Each person was different, so it was hard to make a judgement on it. “What are the initials we’re putting in there?”

“I can imagine, there are a lot of people who make impulsive decisions,” she giggled. At that moment she was one of those people, but when it came to Brooks nothing was too impulsive, she knew she’d love him forever. “I think the hip might be better, then only he will see it, I’d hate to have it show if I choose a sleeveless wedding dress,” she remarked, having thought about it for a moment. “I... I think I have a good pain tolerance.” she said, her voice going up as if it were a question. “How long will it take?” Mamie watched as he drew out the hearts that would eventually be on her forever. “Oh right, B.T, Brooks Taylor.” 

[mamie-sheehan]

“Then we should both be okay then.” He nodded with a grin. It seemed to help if he joked around a little, put people at ease some. So, while he tried to act really professional, he did try to keep it as light at he could. When she pointed out the one that she liked, and explained the changes she hoped for, Jaxon’s eyes went from the sheet of designs up to the the woman’s face. “I don’t mean to sound rude, but you guys, you the real deal? Because I’d hate for you to ink someone’s name on you and then show up to me looking for the removal number in a few months.” Names were something he tried to avoid if he could, but if a client really wanted it, he’d do it. He hoped the woman wouldn’t take offence to his question, but he always tried to cover his own ass. “You wear tops without sleeves often? Because it could always go on the inside of your upper arm, maybe?”

Smiling, she nodded. She appreciated his professional but approachable demeanour, it didn’t hurt that he was cute either. But she was a soon to be married woman so she pushed that thought from her mind. Blushing when he looked at her and asked if they were serious she nodded. “I mean we’re engaged. And I’ve known him most of my life,” she explained. “I love him more than anything, except maybe Jesus, but that’s different,” Mamie smiled. “If we break up I think I’ll have bigger issues than a tattoo with his name on me. But maybe we could do our initials instead? So it’s not as obvious.” She could understand why he’d asked. People seemed to go through relationships awfully. quickly, but she’d committed to marrying Brooks so that was already forever in her mind. “Not often, no. I like to be covered up. Would that hurt less than like my hip or something?”

He sat quietly while she rattled off all of her questions, letting a silence settle between them for a short moment just to make sure she didn’t think of anything else she wanted to add. “They’re permanent, yes. But, they can be removed. Personally, I prefer to live with my regrets, so I’ve never had it done, but I’ve heard the process isn’t pleasant. It’s always better to be sure before you jump in, because regret is very possible, but if you find you really hate it once it’s over, all you gotta do is find a laser removal place. But, that does leave a scar. Is it safe? Yeah, we’re super hygienic, and as long as you don’t have any tropical diseases, we should all walk away just fine. How much it hurts all depends on where it goes. Closer to the bone generally stings a little more.” It almost sounded rehearsed, like a speech he’d given many times before, which he kind of had. But, every word was just as true now as it had been the first time he’d said it all years ago. “I can do others, as long as they’re not huge. At things like this, there’s a bit of a time crunch, that’s why we come prepared. But anything simple, or any alterations you wanna make to what’s already drawn up, I can definitely see what I can do.”

His words were somewhat comforting and she nodded along as he answered her laundry list of questions. He seemed to know what he was doing and the place looked clean. “I haven’t been anywhere tropical that I know of,” she said with a smile. The more he spoke the more okay she became with the idea. And like he’d said, it could always be removed. “Okay,” she nodded when he was finished. “I really like the two hearts you have there, but could we change the words? It might be kind of silly, but I’d like to get my fiance’s name instead of the words. Is that too complicated? Do you think it would look okay?” Truth be told there were so many on the sheet that she didn’t understand, that it was no wonder the hearts had stood out to her. “And I want it some place I can cover it completely. My mother would kill me if she ever found out,” she chuckled, her palms sweaty with excitement. This was easily the most daring thing she’d ever done.

Sitting up a little straighter in an attempt to looking more professional, Jaxon offered the woman a smile. “Questions? Sure, fire away.” He encouraged. It wasn’t uncommon for people to have their fair share of questions, especially if it was their first time. It wasn’t often that he got asked something that he didn’t have an answer to, but it did happen on the odd occasion.

“Okay,” she took a deep breath. “So it’s like permanent right? Do people ever regret them? Is it safe? Just how much is it going to hurt?” Mamie rattled off all the questions that had plagued her mind. She’d only been considering this tattoo for a few moments, but already she’d come up with the list of questions, the biggest one of all being would her fiance like it, but of course the tattoo artist couldn’t tell her that. “Are these the only ones you can do? Or could you make an adjustment to one of them?” she finally asked.

Jaxon had just finished his sixth, maybe his seventh, tattoo of the day when he found himself all out of people waiting. Reaching for his water, he took a long drink, it might not’ve looked like hard work, but concentrating hard really took it out of him. Closing his eyes for a minute, worried that one day he was going to end up cross-eyed from doing so much fine line work, he didn’t hear the other person approach him. Opening his eyes again, he almost jumped. “Shit, hey. You looking for a tattoo? These are the options on offer today. What takes your fancy?”

Mamie approached the area with the man tattooing very hesitantly. She’d never considered permanently marking her body, but she was drawn in by the hearts and adorable peanut butter and jelly drawings. Taking a deep breath, she finally walked towards him, waiting a moment for him to notice her. “Hi,” she said nervously. “I uhm... I just have a few questions?” she said, he voice high and tight. 

[mamie-sheehan]

Mamie wandered the festival with a cupcake in her hand and a grin on her face. She loved Valentine’s day. She loved anything that had to do with love and romance and the colour pink. Licking the pink frosting off of her cupcake, she admired the crowd, so many people happy with their loved ones. A part of her ached, remembering all her homemade valentines as a child and how her mother would tell her the story of how she and her father had met every year. Trying to distract herself from the sadness she turned to the nearest person. “Did you know Hallmark was the first to mass produce Valentine’s day cards in 1913?” Mamie asked, hoping for a conversation. “But the tradition of passing out valentines has been traced back 600 years.”  @woodyanders

[mamie-sheehan]

“Kiki!” Mamie called as she burst through her friend’s front door. “It happened, it finally happened,” the girl flailed her hands excitedly, her new ring sparkling under the light as she waited for her friend to notice it.  @oh-heykiara​

he smiled at the names she suggested, picking one immediately in his head before. “magnus.” he smiled down at her. “i like that one.” he shrugged his shoulders, holding her close. he checked his watch, looking at the time. “the store is open for another 2 hours. say we head there tonight, get him some proper food and new toys.” brooks pulled himself apart from mamie. “it’ll be our first family outing.” he laughed, staring down at her hand with the ring on it. “it looks so perfect on your hand.”

“Magnus Taylor,” she said the name lovingly as she looked down at the pup then back up at Brooks. “That sounds good. Dinner will be ready in a few minutes, but we can always wait to eat and go now if you want,” she suggested, the sooner they went, the sooner they could get home and celebrate their engagement. Her stomach fluttered just thinking about it and she bit down on her lip. “It’s so beautiful,” she admired her hand with the sparkling diamond on it. “You picked the perfect one.”

“i love you more.” he was so happy. brooks was hoping mamie was okay with the way he proposed. “he’s our first baby. do you have any names you think would suit him?” he asked, letting the puppy down and grabbing for mary to be close to him, his eyes watching the little guy sit in front of them. “we also need to go to the pet store and grab him some more food, name tag…” he trailed on.  “i wanted to wait for you before i went ahead and picked all of his toys and stuff. i wanted you to be apart of that.” he kissed the top of her head. “mary taylor. i love it.”

Mamie wasn’t sure it was possible that he loved her more, only because she wasn’t sure it was possible to love anyone as much as she loved Brooks. Her heart was full and she let him pull her close to him. “We should name him after a literary hero. Like Gilbert Blythe or something strong like Magnus. Or what about Rufus, or Dougal,” she prattled on about names, excited to have a new member of their family. “I like that you waited. I want to pick out the perfect toys for him, and maybe a bow tie.” Smiling up at him, her eyelashes fluttered as he said her name with his last name. “Mrs. Brooks Taylor,” she said softly to herself. Wrapping her arm around his waist, she rest her head on his chest.

brooks started to tear up, wiping his eyes with his hands, standing up to embrace her and the new family member into a hug. “really?” he had to ask, taking a step back with the biggest grin on his face, looking for her ring finger after he got the ring off the pups collar. “you are my forever.” brooks kept saying, sliding the ring down on her finger, keeping his hands on it, rubbing his thumb over her soft skin. “he’s ours, baby.” he had to mention to her, taking the puppy from her arms so she could admire the ring fully. “we’lll have to figure out a name for him. he isn’t lost, i didn’t find him on the street outside our house. i picked him out. he was the most calm puppy of the litter, always snuggled up to his mom. so i thought he would be perfect for us.” brooks smiled down at her, holding the puppy in his arms. 

“Really, really,” she assured him with a nod, tears still slipping down her cheeks. She could hardly believe it was happening, all of her girlhood dreams coming true as he slipped the ring onto her finger. Marvelling at it she looked up at him with a smile. “I love you so much,” she said, squeezing his hand. “He’s ours to keep?” shocked, Mamie could hardly believe she was getting a ring and a dog in one night. It was the perfect proposal. “He’s so sweet,” she nuzzled her face into his fur. “Our first baby together,” she laughed. Moving closer to Brooks she stood on her tiptoed and pressed a kiss against his lips. “I can’t wait to be Mrs. Taylor,” she murmured, still kissing him.

brooks was sweating, driving to his partners house to pick up the small friend he had hiding there for the past couple of days. tonight was going to be the night he proposed to mary, along side a beagle puppy to carry the ring for him. he was nervous. he didn’t want to tell her to get dressed up and go for dinner, he wanted to be at home. it was intimate, private and with the new puppy, it was perfect to be at home in his opinion.

he knew as soon as they started getting serious, he was going to marry her. old brooks was in the past, the way he used to be was no longer him anymore. he was gentle, caring and attentive, especially when it came to her. she came back into his life and he became soft like butter, doing everything he could to make her happy and to be happy with her. mary was his soulmate. he could talk to her for hours about his thoughts, what he wanted to do in 10 years or less. how many children he planned in his head with her. she listened to him and never judged him. mary was the light he needed.

as he sat in the driveway, ring already attached to the blue collar, brooks smiled at the new family member, hoping his girlfriend would love him just as much. “you ready big guy?” he asked the calm puppy, sitting in the passenger seat of his truck. he was still in uniform, wanting mamie to think it was a regular day. his plan was to walk in, telling her he found the puppy and asking her if she could check the collar for any tags, hoping she would see the ring eventually waiting to be slid onto her ring finger. “let’s do this. you’re about to be part of our family.” brooks rubbed the pups ears before picking him up in his arms and getting out of the black vehicle.

“baby?” he called out, opening the front door. his eyes scanned, catching a glimpse of her in the kitchen. “princess, look.” brooks said to her. “i found this little guy all by himself, I couldn’t leave him on the street.” he lied. “you know, it’s going to start raining soon.” which was true, the clouds did start to darken the sky. “do you think you can check his collar for a tag? I didn’t get a chance to before coming in.” which was such a dumb thing to say, he would have had lots of time, but he knew she would do it for him. he watched her look at the collar, and before she could react, he was down on one knee. “mary…” he whispered. “will you marry me?” @mamie-sheehan

[mamie-sheehan]

Mamie loved Brooks in a way that she’d always dreamed of. He was the fairy tale prince she’d heard about as a little girl and as corny as it was, he made her feel like royalty. When they’d gone on dates in high school, she’d always liked him, but it wasn’t until they rekindled their friendship that she really fell in love with him. He was everything she could ever want and she wanted everything with him.  She was bopping around the kitchen when she heard him come in, cleaning dishes while she waited for dinner to cook. It was just another night as far as she was concerned, the sky was gloomy and the threat of rain loomed, but nothing was out of the ordinary.  “Hi,” she greeted him, turning around from the sink to find Brooks standing there with a puppy in his arms. “Oh my goodness,” she squealed, reaching out for the little dog. Cradling him in her arms, she stroked his head. “His owners must be so worried, he’s just a baby,” she remarked as she reached for his tags and saw the words on them. It wasn’t a name and number like she’d expected, instead the was a question, the one she’d been waiting for her entire life. Will you marry me? Shocked, she looked up only to find Brooks on one knee. The emotions swept over her and she gasped. Tears flooding her eyes, she held the puppy close to her and looked down at the man asking her the most important question. She hadn’t been expecting this, sure they’d talked about marriage but she didn’t think it would happen so soon without her suspecting a thing. Finally she nodded. “Yes!” Mamie told him excitedly, still crying. “Yes, I’ll marry you!”

Mamie wrapped herself around him when he lay beside her, tangling her legs with his and resting her cheek against his chest. She felt warm and safe in his arms, but even he couldn’t stop the guilt that crept up inside of her. Had she really done that? Was she still a virgin? Questions scurried around her mind and she squeezed her eyes shut, trying to silence them. “I love you too,” she whispered, holding onto him tighter, worried that if she let go he might leave. Mamie was confused, this wasn’t who she usually was, but so much had changed since Brooks. Somedays she didn’t recognize herself. Her breathing had quieted and she let out a sigh. “Am I a bad person?” she asked quietly.
