“Nice tattoos, didn’t peg you to be a guy who has them” Eli said in a slightly confused

manner.

“Why do you care?” I asked as Eli took a step forward.

“I don’t I just think the office would be surprised too to see you with a decent sized tattoo on your lower abdomen” Eli remarked as he looked at it.

“Are you suggesting something, Eli.” I said as he looked at me.

“ I told you only close friends can call me Eli and I am suggesting that it isn’t very proper to have tattoos in such as I would add a provocative place” He snarked as he had a smirk on his face.
