Brianna had enjoyed Tom's futile pleading for the last few days. And she took a great delight in giving him the same, stern answer. "You're going to that appointment and that's final." She knew exactly why he felt it would be humiliating. And that's partly why she'd set it up this way. To right a past wrong and to humble Tom's macho ego.
And so she had made the appointment. Tom Caley was going to be waxed and shaved.
Brianna had been very clear to the salon boss. She wanted every single hair below his neck down to his feet removed. And special attention to his groin was required. His penis was to be completely bare.
"H-h-his penis?" A startled salon owner had said.
"That's right." Brianna had replied, savouring the revelation for the woman on the other end of his phone "He will be completely naked for you. And you will take his penis in hand and shave it. Be as thorough as you can be."
Sweet revenge, thought Brianna. Because this wasn't just any salon owner, this was Naomi, her childhood friend. Growing up they had been inseparable. But poor Naomi hadn't had it easy. She had always been a chubby girl, and battled tortuously with her weight. And she had also battled with something else, her long-lasting crush on Brianna's step-brother, Tom.
But Tom and the other boys had been cruel to Naomi and he had treated her love for him with loathsome disdain. And then there was the camp incident. At summer camp, Tom and his bunch of chauvinist pals had stolen Naomi's towel and clothes while she was in the shower. And they howled with laughter as poor Naomi had come out desperately trying to cover herself with her hands.
Brianna had never forgotten how awful that had been for Naomi. And now, all these years later, there was a chance for justice, for sweet revenge.

Brianna marched confidently into the salon reception area with a cowed Tom following behind. They were met by a perky young receptionist called Chloe. The star-struck girl beamed with joy as she excitedly told them she had all of Tom's posters on her bedroom wall. Tom remained indifferent and Brianna gave him a reproachful scowl for his rudeness. Would he ever learn to treat women with respect?
The receptionist took them past two older women sat waiting and opened a door which led straight into the waxing room and left them with Naomi.
Naomi stood tall besides a waxing bed, hands on hips, looking straight at Tom as he entered.
"Hello Tom. It's been a while."
Brianna grinned with delight as she observed Tom's reaction. 'That's right!' she thought 'look at whose going to be shaving you naked. The girl you tormented all those years ago!'
The two ladies remained unconvinced and glared at him with righteous fury as a terrified Tom tried to express that he was happy to see Naomi again. What pleased Brianna particularly was how wonderful Naomi now looked. No longer chubby but curvy in all the right places, wearing a tight blue dress that really showed off her magnificent figure. Her hair was like a glamorous 80s film star, all volume and wavy. Oh yes, Naomi had clearly done pretty well for herself in spite of the torment she'd gone through when younger.
"Well shall we get down to it?" Naomi proposed with a hint of mischief. Brianna gave her a nod of approval, Tom remained silent before the two women.
