"Hurry up Harry!" Gloria called to her ten year old. He was dawdling again, as he usually did. It was time he was off to school, and she wanted the rest of the day to herself. Gloria worked four ten-hour days in at the beginning of the week and had Friday off. Her husband was off to work, and if she could just get Harry out the door, the rest of the day was hers.
"Okay, Mom, I'm so outa here," Harry said as he picked up his lunch money and stuffed it into his pocket. He gave his mother a quick kiss - much like it was going to kill him if he made it much of a kiss at all. The door slammed behind him, as it usually did.
There isn't much point in chastising him, she lamented to herself, he hates school and getting on his case about everything just seems to make it worse. As much as her husband and she had tried to get to the bottom of it, they weren't sure why he hated it so much. Well, at least he was off. He was a good kid, he just didnât like school. The house seemed suddenly very quiet. "Time to get going," she mumbled to herself.
There were a few errands to run. Friday's were usually interesting days for Gloria. It was her day away from work, and for much of the day, the family. It was her day and her time. She grabbed her purse, the pile of clothes, and headed off for the day. First, there was a trip to the cleaners to drop off a few work clothes. Then her car needed gas. Those were the un-fun ones. After that, things were going to be a little more interesting - a lot more interesting.
The first stop was the cleaners, just a few blocks away. It only took a few minutes to drop the clothes off and get the ticket from the little gun-chewing air head. Alfred wasnât there, and rarely was that early. He was the owner and gave her a special rate; he would be there later when she returned. After that, she stopped at a gas station and filled her car's tank; a smelly unpleasant job she'd rather not have to do. She missed the days when full service was the norm. It was a lot nicer when some young guy filled the tank. It was also fun to hike her skirt up and have an extra button undone on her blouse. The service attendant would just about clean the windshield and driverâs side widow right off of the car. Oh well, those days were gone.
Next, it was off to her hair appointment with Louis, never Lou or Louie, the completely gay hairdresser - who wasn't. It turned out that was just the impression he gave everyone - especially husbands. Anyway, she knew Louis wasn't gay - well, not completely. She had to wonder if he wasn't a bit of a switch hitter. Anyone who could keep up that much of a gay act had to be doing a few of the boys on the side too. But, he sure knew how to take care of women.
Louis had a few talents beyond hair for a few special customers. There were times when Gloria wondered just how many "special" customers Louis was keeping happy and just how many women he ran through that cozy little back room of his. She wasn't in love with him, so it really didn't matter. She was scheduled in for the "full treatment" today. She knew he was going to make her very happy, and thatâs all that mattered.
The sign on the door of the elegant little beauty shop said, "By Appointment Only." She had one; she pressed the little doorbell button and waited.
Gloria heard about this little shop from a friend of hers â one that, well, got around a little â more than a little. âMan shoppingâ Elaine called it. Elaine told Gloria about Louis â all about him. When Gloria decided to try him, Elaine told her to get her hair done by him a time or two, and then ask for a âfull treatment.â It seems that he never did the specials, or the âfull treatment,â for just anyone or a first time customer: he had to get to know you a little. And, he had been known to turn a few women down for reasons unknown. The first hair appointment had gone so well that she was hooked on him as a hair dresser if nothing else ever happened. She was getting along famously with him, and it was after the third hair appointment that she worked up the nerve to ask for a âfull treatmentâ the next time. She hated the thought of being rejected, and at the same time, was wet with anticipation. She wasnât turned down, and it even sounded like Louis had been dying to have her ask. That went so well, it was full treatments every time thereafter. Elaine knew hairdressers â real full service hair dressers!
In just a few seconds, Louis opened the door. Louis never left his customers waiting at the door. There was never anyone there when one of his "special" customers arrived either - at least not that she had ever seen. Louis was the utmost in discrete.
"Hi Gloria," he said when he opened the door. He was dressed in one of his usual gaudy Hawaiian shirts, dark baggy nylon pants with an elastic waistband, and sandals. "So nice to see you again. Let's see, I have you down for the full treatment today," he said consulting his appointment book on an elegant little wood book stand by the door. "This way," he said with a smile. He locked the front door again, and led the way through the small shop and into that unmarked, innocent looking little back room, the room where special customers got the "full treatment."
Once in the room, he closed the very solid six-panel wood door behind them, secluding them from the outside world. His shop was always quiet, so Gloria figured the walls must be well insulated. Inside this room, there was no noise at all. The room was softly lit by two desk lamps, not those glaring overhead florescent lights. It was a small room with dark wood paneling on the walls and heavy rich carpet on the floor. A counter ran along the back wall for Louisâs towels and things, a sink, and the lamps. Above the counter was a long wooden shelf with a small compact stereo on it. In the middle of the room was the massage and treatment table.
Louis turned on the stereo system, pressed CD, and out came some soft, nearly sexy, instrumental music. He was setting the mood as he always did. "There," he said turning back to her, "just slip out of those clothes and I'll take care of you," he said with a sexy grin. They were in a private little place of their own â he had made the world disappear for the time being. No one could see them, no one would hear them, and no one would disturb them.
"I'm counting on it," she said as she removed her blouse. The sexy little black demi bra came off next. She smiled as she noticed her hard nipples. Yes, they knew what was coming.
Louis made a few flattering comments as he kept an eye on her while he got things ready, a warm basin of water, shaving soap, and lots of fluffy white terrycloth towels.
Gloria finished slowly undressing. It was her turn to tease him just a little. At last, she turned away from him and bent over at the waist as she slid her skimpy little panty down her sexy legs, giving him a great view of her ass as she did it. Finally completely nude, she got up on the cloth covered table. It was a wide massage table, sturdy, nicely padded, and covered with an ironed white sheet â a soft cotton sheet, not one of those hard starched ones. She lay on her back; legs parted a little, and put her hands behind her head. She relaxed and stared at the ceiling as Louis finished getting things ready.
"Here we go;" he finally said, "underarms first." He got his shaving brush out and worked up a lather in the shaving cup before applying the warm foamy soap to her underarms â none of that shaving cream in a can stuff for Louis; he did it the old fashioned way. He set the cup and brush aside, got a disposable razor, and quickly shaved her. She was grateful that he wasnât so old fashioned about this as to use a straight razor. Every woman got a new disposable used on her. When he was done, he took a warm washcloth and wiped away every trace of soap; a warm towel dried her. Her other underarm was soon done in the same way. A sprits with an odorless deodorant followed - Louis was thorough!
Her legs were next. The treatment was essentially the same as the underarms. First he soaped her leg, then shaved it, wiped all traces of soap off, then dried her leg. Only then did he get to the other. Since she was on her back, he only did the front half of each leg. When the second leg was done, he had her roll over, and did the back of each.
With her legs done, Gloria rolled back onto her back. Now things would get a little more interesting. It was time for Louis to trim her bush, and he did seem to enjoy this. She thought he would have done it when he did her legs, but he made it a whole separate thing.
"Shall we shave the bush all off or just a trim today?" Louis asked.
"Just a trim," she said with a smile. He always asked, and she always just got it trimmed. She thought he was dying to give her a complete shave, but never pushed it; he just asked. Some time ago he had suggested that he take it all off and how very sexy she would look that way, but she had declined then as today. One of these days though, she just might take him up on that. Her husband would die of shock the next time they made love. He had asked her to shave it all off now and then over the years, and she had always refused.
Gloria moved her legs apart even more, and much like her legs and underarms, Louis soaped around her bush and down between her legs a little and then shaved that which needed to be shaved. Then he used a warm wet washcloth to clean all the soap away. A fresh warm towel made sure she was dry, well, as dry as she could be, for there was more moisture down there than just the soapy water had put there: Gloria was getting pretty excited.
The shaving was followed by a light full-body massage, front and back. He used a massage oil that had no smell. Again, she thought, old Louis was just being discrete - nothing he did left a trace; no smell, nothing.
