Tattooed Heart
Urban Wyatt x ModelOC
Series Masterlist
Here’s the last fic that’s part of my one year anniversary celebration!
Giovanni stood in the corner of the bar as she watched men and women in fancy clothes as they sipped wine and fake laughed at everyone’s shitty jokes. She felt out of place in her custom made outfit. Party girl at heart, she would usually love being in a bar but not with these asshole models who thought they were better than her because they didn’t have face tattoos. After three dirty looks as she approached magazine editors to network, she was over it. Already hitting her social quota for the night, maybe even the year.
Behind her she noticed an employee- only door which took you outside the club. Not being able to stand it any longer any longer, Giovanni quickly exited before anyone noticed.
She sighed in relief as she made it outside as she leaned against the brick wall of the bar, hyping herself up to go back in when she heard a flicker of a lighter, followed by the heavy smoke of weed.
“You look like you could use a puff or two…”
Giovanni immediately turned her head and saw a tall white guy with long blonde hair with a camera hanging around his neck,with his hand held out. It wouldn’t be the first time she saw that while in NY, at least this time, this guy was cute.
She realized she was staring too long and took the blunt out the strangers hand and took a long puff. Giovanni immediately felt her whole body relax. This was exactly what she needed.
It was quiet as the two passed the blunt back and forth, as they finished Giovanni couldn’t help but roll her eyes at the fake drunken laughter coming from the other side of the wall. She really didn’t want to go back in there.
“Yo, there’s a pizza joint like a block from here you wanna hit it up?” The guy suddenly asked.
She raised an eyebrow before answering, “You don’t even know my name and you’re inviting me to get pizza with you?”
He simply just shrugged his shoulders. “I mean, you can stay here with these snobs if you want…but I’m going to get pizza.”
Giovanni looked between the strange but cute man and the door that would lead her back inside and immediately she knew what she was going to do.
“Okay, I’m coming with you but can you at least tell me your name? I've just been calling you “strange guy with weed” in my head.”
The guy let out a chuckle at that. “It’s Urban.” He held his hand out for her to shake.
She grabbed his hand and pulled away almost as quickly when she felt a spark. “I’m Giovanni.”
“Nice to meet you, Giovanni. Now, that we’ve got that out of the way can we go get pizza, I’m hungry as fuck!”
Giovanni nodded before pushing away from the wall and following Urban’s lead to the pizza shop.
“I carry a knife by the way, and I’m not scared to use it.”
Urban looked at Giovanni with a grin. “Cool.”
***
“So are you like a real photographer or like one of those guys who just likes to take pictures of naked women and call it art?” Giovanni asked before taking a big bite of her pizza.
Urban covered his mouth with his hand as he chewed. “I’m a real photographer, my best friend does music so I basically document everything for him.”
Giovanni nodded, not shocked, it’s NY, everyone was into music. It was quiet for a moment before Urban spoke again. “So what’s your story?”
She paused as she reached for another slice of pizza. “My story?”
Urban nodded, “yeah your story. Everyone moves to NY to chase their dreams so what’s yours?”
Giovanni laughed nervously. No one ever asked about her story before, and when she told people what she did they never took her seriously because of the way she looked.
“Well, I’m a model.” She said sitting up straight in the booth.
“Fuck yeah! I figured.”
Giovanni immediately got defensive. “What do you mean by that?”
“Chill dude, don’t pull out your knife. I just meant that I figured you did something with fashion because you look dope as fuck. The outfit, the grills, the face tattoos, plus the fact that you’re stunning…”
She relaxed a bit in her seat, people always used the grills and face tattoos as excuses to not work with her because she didn’t look like the typical model, and here’s this stranger who has only known her for two hours and turned all those excuses into positives.
“Oh thanks, I’m really happy you see it that way. Not everyone gets it.”
Urban simply shrugged his shoulders. “I call it like I see it.”
Giovanni could tell Urban had something else to say, and it was like a light bulb went off on his head when he suddenly dropped his pizza.
“Let’s prove them wrong!”
Giovanni raised an eyebrow “what?”
“Let’s prove those fuckers wrong and show them how damn good a model you are.”
“….and how are we supposed to do that?” She questioned him
She watched as Urban rolled his eyes and waved his camera in the air with a duh expression.
“We can run around the city and take pictures.” Urban started sliding out the booth and throwing away his trash. Giovanni just sat and watched. He turned around when he noticed she was still in her seat. Walking over he grabbed Giovanni’s hand and dragged her out the pizza place. “Ok ok, stop pulling me! I’m coming!”
***
They had been walking on the sidewalk for a few minutes trying to find a good location. Neither of them had noticed they were still holding hands.
Urban suddenly dropped her hand at the empty crosswalk, scooping out the area. “Ok, Gio, pretend this crosswalk is a runway.”
Giovanni ignored how he shortened her name and nodded before walking to the middle of the crosswalk.
She naturally put her hands on her hips and started strutting down the street, but stopped when she noticed Urban shaking her head. “What?”
Urban jogged towards her “Don’t put your hands on your hips. It should be more natural.” Giovanni watched in amazement as Urban demonstrated how he wanted her to walk. She knew he meant well but she couldn’t help but fall over in laughter as she watched his flip his hair over his shoulder as he walked across the street.
“Urban please stop I’m begging” Urban couldn’t help but smile huge at the way Giovanni was bent over laughing at his silliness. He could listen to her laugh on repeat. He watched as she calmed down and wiped the tears that were threatening to fall from her eyes.
“Act like I’m not here.”
Giovanni took a deep breath and walked across the street towards Urban as he snapped shots of her, she made sure to turn her head to the side as if she was looking out for incoming traffic. Her confidence rose as she could hear Urban praising her from behind his camera.
Giovanni continued to pose, bending down and hugging her knees. When Urban walked closer to get a close up, she flashed him a big smile. Urban’s breath hitched in his throat at the sight of her beautiful smile. He didn’t even have to see the photo to know that was going to be the money shot.
They ended up taking photos all night long before they noticed it was 5 o’clock in the morning. Thankfully they weren’t too far from their cars. The streets were a lot quieter than it was a couple hours ago, as they walked in a comfortable silence. Feeling a lot more comfortable than she was a few hours ago, Giovanni nudged Urban with her shoulder as she walked beside him to get his attention.
Urban playfully nudged her back. Giovanni was the first to speak. “Ok, you know my story but what’s yours?”
Urban, never the one to like to talk about himself, just shrugged his shoulders. “I told you, I’m a photographer.”
Giovanni rolled her eyes, “If I hadn’t just spent the whole night with you, I would simply just take that for an answer. Tell me about your friend who does music, you say you travel the world with him so he must be good.”
Urban smiled at that, his best friend was pretty good at this music thing. “Yeah, we’ve been best friends since middle school, after we graduated we got an apartment together in Atlanta and were legit working at Chic-Fil-A trying to make ends meet…”
“Wait wait? You were my pleasuring people and served homophobic chicken sandwiches?” Giovanni said as she cut him off.
All Urban could do was laugh and shake his head. “Definitely not, we were just in the back buttering the buns. But anyway he got signed a couple years ago and we’ve been traveling the world ever since.”
Giovanni loved hearing success stories like that, it always inspired her to keep going.
“That’s fucking awesome dude, what’s his name? I’m going to add it to my playlist.” Giovanni asked before pulling out her phone so she could add him to her playlist. She looked up when Urban didn’t speak again.
“Dude, are you going to tell me?”
She watched as Urban nervously rubbed the back of his neck.
“Uh, his name is Jack Harlow.”
Giovanni nodded and added Jack to her playlist. “Cool, I can’t wait to listen to his music!”
“Wait—“ Urban grabbed her arm lightly to stop her.
“I said his name was Jack Harlow?”
Giovanni nodded, giving him a weird look, “yeah, I heard you. I’m going to listen to his music, what’s the issue?”
“Oh…people usually act really weird when I mention him so…”
“Not gonna lie, dude I’ve never heard of him before.”
Urban widden a little in shock, almost everyone knew who he was. “Really?”
“Yeah really?” Giovanni said confused, making a mental note to look him up when she got home.
They continued walking down the sidewalk before eventually making it to Giovanni’s car next to the bar.
Leaning against the car Giovanni spoke first, “Thanks for walking me back to my car and for saving me from this place.” She said as she motioned towards the building behind them.
Urban rocked on the back of his heels with both hands shoved in his pockets. “Don’t worry about it.”
Giovanni unlocked her car, and got inside. She rolled her window so she could tell Urban goodnight.
“Goodnight, Urban.”
Urban placed his hands on the roof of the car, leaning into her window. “Goodnight, Giovanni” before tapping the roof of her car.
She gave him a wave before driving off. Urban watched as she pulled away and started walking back in the opposite direction. Giovanni didn’t need to know that his car wasn’t close by.
Once he got in his car, Urban cursed to himself when he realized he never got her number.
