"Just look at me" I repeated with a smile as I looked at the furrow that she had cut down my parting.
Her left hand cupped the back of my head and rubbed the undercut gently. I closed my eyes to enjoy her touch and then felt the caress of the clippers once more. She kept her hand on the back of my head and I moved my head slightly to give myself the sensation of somebody stroking me. That part was a bit sad really as I had hoped that it would be Rob getting to do that for me last night. If ever I was in need it was then!
In what felt like a matter of moments, the clippers fell silent. The remains of my hair were barely discernible, just a shadow to indicate what had been there until just now.
"Well?"
I looked at myself from various angles, pleased at what I saw.
"I'm so glad I've done this" I said and reached up to stroke my newly bald head.
I knew what was coming and could not wait. She smeared my entire head with shaving foam, making me look more than a little comical. She shaved me expertly and then did it again. I'm not sure if this was for any function or for the enjoyment of both of us, but I was pleased that she did. She wiped my head with a towel to get rid of any last traces of the foam and then patted me gently on the top of my head.
"You look beautiful" she said.
"You know" I said slowly "I have to agree with you."
She gave me a playful slap on the arm and then removed the cape.
"Now what?" she asked.
"I'm going shopping" I replied.
"And what about that man of yours?"
"Who?" I replied with a smile.
