I looked at the mirror. Yes, I definitely needed a haircut. And if I didn't one today, it would get delayed for another two weeks, till I came back from my vacation. I picked up the telephone and dialed the hairdressers. A couple of rings and there was a sexy voice on the line.
"Good morning, Shear Delite. How may I help you?"
"Hello. This is Steve Renner. I would like an appointment with Betty Jo this afternoon."
"Hmmm… I don't know about today. Quite a few of our girls have taken the day off, and I think BJ is pretty much tied up. Anyway, let me check the register." There was a pause before she continued, "I'm so sorry. Just as I thought. I'm afraid BJ is booked up right through the day. Would you like to be taken care of by somebody else? Or else, I could fit you in first thing tomorrow."
"No, thanks. I have been having my hair done by BJ for years now. She knows me best. And I do need an appointment today itself. I am going out of town tomorrow. Listen, can I have a quick word with her?"
"Sure hon, just hold on. I'll get her in a moment."
I heard her put the receiver down, and yell out, "BJ, customer for you. Please pick up the phone."
A few moments, she was on the line. "Hello, BJ here."
"Oh, hi BJ. This is Steve Renner. I know you are tied up like crazy. But I need a haircut today itself. I'm going out of town tomorrow morning."
"Gee, Steve, I am booked right through the day. My last customer gets done only by 8 p.m., and that's when we close down. Can any of the other girls take care of you?"
"No BJ. You know how particular I am about my hair. I don't want anyone else messing around with it. Listen, do you mind if I came in after eight. Could you stay back for me? Just this once? I would really appreciate it."
"Okay, Steve, you are twisting my arm,. Remember, you owe me big." I could almost see her smile. "So, I'll see you at eight."
I spent the rest of the day finishing up a number of last minute chores connected with my trip. Bills to be paid, tickets to be collected….. all routine mundane things. By seven in the evening, I was all done, and even my bags were packed.
Exactly at eight I was at the salon. When I walked in, BJ was still attending to her last customer.
"Hello Steve. As you can see, I am running a bit late. The other have all left, leaving me to close up after I am finished with you. Will you give me another fifteen minutes? I'll be done with Ray here by then. Why don't you take a stroll and come back?"
"All right," I replied. Suddenly, I had a brainwave. "hey, have you had anything to eat? If not, I'll pick up a couple of sandwiches, and something to drink. Would you like that?"
"Sure hon…. That'll be great. You really are a sweetheart." She flashed me another of her 100 watt smiles.
I stepped out and walked a block down to Jeffreys, a deli that served great sandwiches. I got a couple of pastrami on rye with Coleman's mustard, some kosher dills, a bag of Cap Cod chips, two brownies, and four bottles of cold Heineken, dark. What the heck, if we were going to eat, might as well do it right.
By the time I got back, Ray had left and BJ was cleaning up. I sat down on a sofa near the reception area and put the bags of food on a glass-topped table. Twisting the cap off a bottle of beer, I took a long draught, and watched BJ tidy up her station. She was sweeping up the floor, pushing the fluffy piles of hair into a dustpan and depositing them into a trashcan. She then rearranged the table, putting the combs and scissors and the hair dryers in their proper places. Finally, she washed her hands and came over to where I was sitting.
She smiled, "that beer sure looks inviting."
I handed her a bottle, and she sat back in her chair, taking a deep swallow. "That really feels good, Steve. Do you mind if I smoked?"
Without waiting for my reply, she opened her bag and took out a cigarette from a packet of Virginia Slims and placed it between her lips. I noticed she had full, sensuous lips.
I leaned forward and flicked my lighter for her. She dipped her head and cupped the flame with her hands as she lit the cigarette and took a deep drag. She had long slender fingers, and her fingernails were painted a crimson red.
"I really appreciate your staying late, BJ," I said. "But you know how paranoid I am about my hair."
"That's cool, Steve. Actually I am a bit flattered when my regular customers insist that they get me. Anyway, you have now turned this into a sort of picnic. I am enjoying it after the hard day I've had. So I guess we are even." She took another deep swallow from her bottle.
I opened up the brown bags and laid out the food on the table. I had brought extra napkins and extra packets of mustard in case BJ was also a mustard freak like me. Opening the bag of chips I offered some to BJ.
"Hmmm… delicious," she said, munching nosily on the chips. For the next few minutes, the room was filled with the appetizing smell of cold cuts and condiments and the happy sounds of two hungry persons chowing down. I opened up the two remaining bottles of beer and passed one to BJ.
"Thank you hon, "she responded, after taking a deep swallow. With the back of her hand, she wiped her lips. "I didn't realize how famished I was."
BJ leaned back in her chair and stretched her legs. She was wearing a black sleeveless linen dress that stopped a couple of inches above her knees. It was buttoned down the front, and I could see the lacy, frilly edges of her bra peeking over the top of the low scalloped neckline. I observed she had large, full breasts. Her legs were long and slim and encased in shiny black pantyhose. On her feet she had black leather pumps, and there was a filigreed silver chain adorning one of her ankles.
We spent the next few minutes in desultory chat. She wanted to know where I was going on my vacation and shared the details of the last vacation she had taken with her boyfriend. With a final swig, she drained off her beer and put the bottle on the table.
"Well Steve, I guess it's time to get to work." BJ got up from her chair and beckoned me. I followed her to her station and sat down in the barber's chair. She turned the chair around and tilted it so that my head was positioned over the sink. Turning the faucet open, she began spraying water on my head with a tiny porcelain handshower.
"Is the water temperature okay?" she smiled at me. "Hope it's
not too hot."
I nodded to indicate that everything was kosher. I closed my eyes and gave myself up to the sensuous feel of the warm rivulets of water coursing through my hair.
Opening a bottle of shampoo, BJ poured a little quantity into her right palm and started working up a good lather on my wet scalp. She was standing close to me, her legs touching mine, and her firm thighs occasionally rubbed sibilantly against the sides of my upper body. She was bent over my face, working the shampoo into my hair, her fingers massaging my scalp in a circular motion. Her breasts were moving in rhythm with the movements of her hands and they brushed against my cheeks and the sides of my neck.
I opened my eyes and the sight before me was wondrous. The neckline of her dress hung low and the upper moons of her breasts spilled out invitingly, straining against the black lace cups of her bra.
I shifted my face imperceptibly so that my cheeks were occasionally touching her cleavage. Her warm flesh felt incredibly smooth and silken. There was bulge growing in my pants, and I was hoping that it wouldn't become too obvious. I was beginning to feel noticeably hot and flustered.
After a few more moments, BJ turned off the faucet and began to squeeze the water down from my head. Taking a towel from the cabinet, she started to dry my hair. This movement caused her breasts to jiggle and rub against my face. I was enjoying this sensation and moved my face closer to her bosom. I sensed BJ moving in a little closer so that her legs were now pressed tight against my upper torso. I could feel the heat emanating from her body as her thighs started rubbing deliciously against my right arm. My fingers were touching her knees and calves.
I opened my eyes and saw BJ looking at my face intently.
"You enjoying this honey?" she asked with a mischievous twinkle in her eye. She bent her body down so that her cleavage was now right in front of my face.
"Oh yes," I murmured dreamily, and throwing caution to the winds, pushed my head forward, burying my face in the sweet valley of her bosom. She smelled wonderful, a mixture of damask rose and her own body fragrances.
