I was finishing up at the gym and getting ready to leave when a girl walked up and said, "Hi. I was wondering if I could ask you something."
I was wiping my head off and through a towel I muffled out, "Sure."
She said, "It's kind of delicate and I was wondering if we could maybe talk or meet somewhere more private. Not total private, just somewhere more private."
I stopped wiping my head and looked at her. "Sure. I was going to get a hot dog. It's just across the street. Great hot dogs and fries. That's probably why I'm always at this gym."
She smiled. Nice smile, and said, "Ok. I gotta go change. Could we meet in about 15 or 20 minutes? I'm Dana."
"Hi Dana. I'm Phil. Sure, 15 or 20 minutes would be about right. See you there." I knew the girls changing room exited on the other side of the gym.
When I got there she was already there, in a booth in a corner. Private. Medium traffic here, never highly busy but great hot dogs. I sat down and they got our orders and I had to think a minute to remember her name. Dana. I said, "How can I help you Dana?"
"Phil, I need someone to shave me and I thought you might. You've always been easy going and I've never been afraid around you. I was wondering if you'd think about it and let me know. If you don't that's fine. Just wondering."
Phil stared at Dana with his eyebrows pulled in, some, trying to place her. Nothing came back. "Dana," he said, "I'm a little embarrassed but could you give me something to put me in the ballpark. I don't remember..."
Dana spoke right up smiling. "Oh sure. I'm Bob's little sister. I guess I grew up when you weren't looking. Sorry I didn't say something. You must think I'm a little off."
"Of course. Dana. Now I remember." He didn't remember. He used to run around with Bob in high school. "You look absolutely wonderful, and yes, you did grow up. What are you doing these days?"
"I'm starting my second year at State in about three weeks. I'm working toward a writing career. I already have a couple of books out and they pay for everything."
"Well, congratulations. Sounds like you're on your way. I have one more year at State. There are so many there it isn't surprising I haven't run into you. I'm working on an IT spot with the gov."
She knew that but she said, "That should be a nice profession and you can easily handle it."
"So," he said, "You need someone to shave you. What difficulty are you having?"
"Well, I must have had a small bump and shaved the top off because all of a sudden there was blood running and I had a devil of a time stopping it. Not much but really persistent. I finally got it dry and patched and it finally stopped. That was a two months ago so it's perfectly healed. Anyway, I can't get to everything and it's a problem. I haven't asked any of the girls about it. I just haven't. I thought maybe I could get someone to shave me and that would be that. At least for a while."
Phil lost his smile, just sat and looked at her. Finally he said, "Dana, you're not talking about your legs, or your arm pits, or your head are you?"
"No. The other place. Or places. I did trim with scissors. On the edge so I could wear a swim suit but that's all. I didn't trim all that much along there. I'm afraid to take scissors to the rest. I might cut something off or something. I'm not that brave and I don't want to try it. I guess the angles are worrying me. Mirrors don't help, they make things backwards and I go the wrong way."
"You want me to shave your..."
"YES!" She said, interrupting me and looking around, and smiling wildly, and holding fingers over her mouth. Her eyes were brilliant. It was the only way to describe them. She started to giggle and I guess I did too. I caught some cheek flush but it was soon gone. "I've seen you in the gym now and then and I finally got the idea and here I am. If you're not available that's ok."
"I could. Sure. You have to promise not to recommend me to someone else. Also, I've never done this before. Are you sure you want an amateur?"
"Phil, you're not an amateur. You've had a beard so you've shaved many times and probably shave daily. It's just a different part of the body. You know how to handle the equipment. Both types." With this she smiled again.
"You have to know how to not cause something that bleeds. It will be difficult in the bathroom but I have a thin rubber sheet and large bath towels so we can use the bed and I can just wash the towels. Also I can easily get into whatever position that you like. I could even make this into a neat sex scene in a book. It's kind of fresh and delightfully naughty and these days not a distasteful subject."
They were eating their hot dogs and fries as they were talking. He sat, chewing, eyes moving around slowly. He said, "Well, I..."
"You're going through it in your mind, getting a procedure together. I would too. Almost have to actually. How do I look? Can you see me after you shave me yet?"
