over at me. “What?”
    “Devlin.”  I quickly answer her and then Devlin laughs again. At hearing her older brothers laugh Drew’s eyes widen.
    “Yo Sketch!” Devlin shouts and Sketch freezes what he’s doing.
    Everyone looks at each other, panicking about Drew being caught. If Devlin doesn’t like what he sees, then Sketch will be in the shit.
    I jump up from my seat, just in time to block Devlin from entering the room. At seeing me his eyebrows shoot up in shock.
    “Tash.” He greets. “What are you doing here?”
    “Thinking of having a tattoo.” I answer quickly.
    “Ok.” Devlin answers, still looking curious as to why I’m here.
    Frowning, he looks around me and I try to pass him and lead him out the room but he grabs my arms and stops me from moving.
    “Why don’t I believe you?” He asks me.
    My face burns and I’m lost for words. What the fuck do I do?
    My eyes dart to Rosanne and back to Devlin again. He’s watching me very closely.
    “You fucking him?” He asks.
    “What?” I’m lost, who does he think I’m fucking?
    “Are you sleeping with Sketch?” He asks me.
    “No!” I shout.
    Devlin frowns and lets me go, and pushes me further into Sketch’s tattoo room and freezes at the door.
    “What the fuck?” He asks.
    I look back and see Elise now stood, Sketch is sat with his hands firmly on his knees but Drew is still lying on the chair, her shorts pulled down revealing her thigh and the large half-finished red rose.
    “Drew what the fuck you doing?” He asks her and if I wasn’t so worried, I would honestly laugh.
    “Dev man,” Sketch begins.
    “Shut the fuck up Sketch, this is between me and my baby sister.” Devlin snaps, not even bothering to look at Sketch. His eyes stay firmly on Drew. Ok, the look on his face is now so serious that laughing is the last thing I would want to do.
    Sketch cleverly stays quiet. Devlin quickly flashes his eyes to me and then back to Drew.
    “You wanna tell me why you’re having yet another tattoo?” He asks her.
    Drew pales. “You know I already have tattoos?”
    Devlin finally smiles and steps closer to his younger sister. “Drew, you’re my sister and you think I wouldn’t notice?”
    “I hid them.” She insists.
    “Yeah you did, but you’re forgetting that I started getting ink when I was 14 Drew. I’m a pro at hiding so I saw the signs.” He laughs again and Drew frowns at him. “This looks like a nice piece.”
    He points down to her rose and Drew smiles. “Thanks. So you think I should tell mum and dad?”
    Again, Devlin laughs. “Yeah, I got news for you. Dad already knows.”
    Drew’s shocked expression is hilarious. “What!”
    “He suspected before me.” Devlin giggles and I can’t help but smile.
    “Shit.” She sighs.
    “Yeah, that don’t mean he’s happy with you. You know dad doesn’t like a liar.” Devlin looks up to me and my heart suddenly speeds up. “You knew all about this?”
    He indicates to the tattoos on Drew. “Yes.”
    Devlin stands and slowly walks over to me. “Sketch, carry on with Drew’s tattoo.”
    He indicates for me to follow and like a good little girl, I do. Rosanne is no longer at her desk, probably catching up with her old man in one of the rooms.
    “So you kept a secret from me.” Devlin says as he spins to face me.
    “It wasn’t my secret to tell.” I reply.
    Devlin thinks about that and then nods. “True.”
    We stand in silence, facing each other and it’s not weird at all. Instead my body lights with fire and I don’t know if Devlin can notice or not. I really hope not.
    “Are you going tonight?” I ask him to break the quiet.
    “Where?” He tilts his head to the side in the adorable way he does.
    “Lauren got the job and Grim wants to celebrate.” I answer him.
    “I’ll be there to pick you up.” He tells me, right before spinning around and walking away.
    “Wait!” I shout and he turns to face me again, with his hand on the door handle.
