Hurrying in the front door to my apartment, I dropped my laptop bag on the kitchen counter and grabbed a bottle of water from the refrigerator. After a long Friday at work, I had an appointment scheduled with my barber, Hannah, for a much-needed shave and haircut. I had been traveling on business for most of the week and needed to look presentable for a casual date later on in the evening.
My name is Andrew, and I'm a thirty-one-year-old attorney for a small software firm based in Washington state. I'm about 6'1 and a fit 165 lbs with wavy brown hair that I wore trimmed to a medium-length. Though I usually kept clean-shaven, today I was sporting a two-day growth of stubble thanks to my recent travel schedule. While I've been told by previous girlfriends that I'm easy on the eyes, I've never been the confident, overly-outgoing type obsessed with my own appearance.
After spending the past few years in our Seattle offices buried in corporate memos and never-ending e-mail chains, I had relocated to South Florida about a year ago to enjoy the sunshine and warm beaches. Work kept me traveling several days each week leaving me with little time for dating and socializing, but so far I loved the relaxed lifestyle and prevalence of gorgeous, bikini-clad beachgoers near my apartment complex.
I stepped into my bedroom, quickly stripping out of my dark grey suit before venturing into the master bathroom to turn on the shower. Waiting the water to warm, I grabbed my phone from the bathroom counter and opened my text conversation with Kelsie.
Kelsie was a stunning twenty-six-year-old brunette, about 5'4 with almond skin and deep brown eyes that matched her gorgeous shoulder-length hair. We had matched two weeks earlier on Tinder, and had already met once for drinks, but tonight seemed different. Kelsie had been increasingly flirty over text while I'd been away, culminating in our conversation earlier this afternoon.
*Bzzt bzzt* As if on cue, my phone buzzed in my hand with a new text from Kelsie: "trying to pick out an outfit for tonight, what do you want me to wear?"
"Hmm let me see some options" I responded, hoping for a sexy selfie to jerk off to in the shower.
"I can't show you yet, have to leave something to the imagination ;-)" Kelsie texted.
"Not even a glimpse?" I teased back.
My phone buzzed in my hand with the arrival of a message.
The picture Kelsie had sent displayed a shot of her standing in front of her bathroom mirror with wet hair wearing only a towel around her torso, one hand posed teasingly as if pulling down the edge of the towel to expose her full tits. "U like?"
"Very much. Ur making me horny rn" I typed, zooming in on the picture in an attempt to glimpse the brown of her nipples above the edge of her towel.
"Show me. fair is fair, after all."
Holding my phone in my left hand, I pointed the camera at the mirror and snapped a quick shot of me palming my erect dick through my boxer briefs. After hitting send, I waited a few moments for Kelsie to respond but my phone remained silent. Stripping completely, I hopped into the shower and quickly soaped and rinsed off. Ten minutes later as I was stepping out of the steamy shower enclosure, my phone buzzed with Kelsie's return text: "gonna finish, uh, getting ready ;-) can't wait for tonight."
I quickly toweled off before moving back into my bedroom. I threw on on a pair of grey denim jeans and a clean surf t-shirt, grabbed my phone and keys. "See you soon," I texted, "can't wait to see what you pick out." Grabbing my keys, I headed for the garage.
Ten minutes later I walked into the salon and was greeted with a chirpy hello by the platinum blonde receptionist. "Hey Andrew, you're here to see Hannah at 6:00, right? She's just getting ready for you, if you want to take a seat she should be right out!"
"Thanks!" I responded, "no rush at all." I took a few steps into the well-appointed waiting area and settled in a comfy leather armchair, pulling out my phone to answer work emails while I waited for Hannah.
Hannah had been cutting my hair for about a year, she had been the first barber with an available appointment when I got into town and we had immediately hit it off. Twenty-three, with bright green eyes and an infectious smile, Hannah stood only 5'2 and had a petite frame that highlighted her toned bubble butt and well-rounded medium breasts. Hannah's best feature was clearly her hair, a thick mane of dark blonde tresses that she usually piled on top of her head in a messy bun while she worked. Hannah was cute and flirty but had always worked hard to keep things professional while I was at the salon. Today seemed no different as she wore a pair of fitted high-waisted black jeans and a soft grey cropped t-shirt that hugged her slim figure and offered a tantalizing glimpse of her tanned navel.
"Hi Andrew β nice to see you again. How have you been?" Hannah asked with a hug. "Here right this way, I'm all ready for you."
Following Hannah into her corner cubicle workstation, I put my phone, wallet, and keys on the counter next to the sink and took a seat in the barber's chair in front of the mirror.
"I've been pretty good, how about you? How's the new apartment?"
"It's so great!" Hannah squealed, "I can't wait for you to see it at our housewarming party next weekend!" Hannah squealed, reaching out to run her hand through my hair. "You're coming, right?"
"Of course," I responded, "I've been excited to see your place and catch up with you and Katie." Katie, Hannah's roommate, was dating one of my gym buddies so we occasionally ended up crossing paths at social gatherings.
"So what are we doing today, the usual haircut and shave?" Hannah asked as she placed a short barber's cape around my neck and tied it in the back.
"Yeah that sounds good. I haven't been in for a few weeks so maybe a little shorter on the sides. Whatever you think is best."
Hannah took a pair of clippers from the counter and began to work, humming along with the salon stereo while trimming the back and top of my medium-length brown hair. With a contented sigh, I leaned back against the headrest and closed my eyes, intending to doze for a few minutes while Hannah worked.
After a few minutes, I heard my phone vibrate against the counter with an incoming text, then again to indicate that I'd received an attachment as well. Not wanting to interrupt while Hannah was in the middle of working, I relaxed, in no hurry to see how Kelsie had responded.
"So what's new in your world? How's work? Any hot dates lately??"
Hannah and I usually bullshitted about work for a few minutes before dissecting our respective romantic lives, with Hannah often getting a kick out of my most recent terrible date stories.
