I went out the door, yelling to my husband, Greg, "I'm off to my haircut."
"Bring her home with you this time," he yelled back as I closed the door, a joke he always makes because he fantasizes about threesomes and I've mentioned how hot I think my hairdresser, Christina, is. She's got some sort of alternative, stylish yet punkish fashion sense that I can't nail down and she's a bit crazy, crazier than most of my girlfriends. I've wanted to cross over from customer to friend, but haven't ever been sure how to make it happen. She recently moved three hours away to Tahoe which doesn't make it any easier.
Christina and I had a good time while she gave me my haircut; I joked about how much Greg likes my boobs now that I'm breastfeeding and they've gotten so big. Christina responded that she could hardly blame him, grinning and shooting a glance down my shirt at my cleavage as she worked on my bangs.
We had such a good time that I got bold and asked if she wanted to get a glass of wine from the wine bar across the street since I was her last customer of the day.
"We could talk face to face instead of face to back of head," I pointed out and Christina agreed as she finished sweeping up the floor. She flipped the light switch, locked the door and grabbed my arm, "let's go!" and we marched across the street.
We sat on high stools in the darkened room and drank a glass of white wine. One glass became two glasses as we chatted. I noticed for the first time that Christina was showing some cleavage of her own, with a little silver charm nestled between her breasts when she crossed her arms and leaned forward on the table. She asked what else Greg liked and I mentioned that he liked taking pictures of me.
"What kind of pictures?"
"Well, sexy pics... usually of my boobs - in bras, without bras, in wet t-shirts, you name it... It's sorta arty, but it's pretty pornographic. I like doing it - it makes me feel sexy and it always gets him really turned on. We haven't really had much sex since the baby, so I figure I gotta help him out," I said, slightly embarrassed.
"That sounds hot. I wish my boyfriend made me feel sexy like that. Things are pretty dull between us right now. I have a hard time getting his attention. Can you show me some of the pictures?... oh, sorry... is that weird? Is that too much?" Christina grinned and then put her hands on her face in mock terror.
"...um... well I could show you some, I guess, but they aren't on my phone...maybe I could get a few of them on there before my next hair cut..." I stuttered.
Christina's phone rang just then and she held up her hand in apology and hopped off the stool and walked away, her tight leather jeans showing off her nice ass. She was gone for a few minutes and then came back to the table frowning, "that was my friend who I was supposed to stay with tonight - her boyfriend is really sick and is staying over so she can take care of him and so she doesn't want me to stay. I guess I'll have to drive back to Tahoe tonight."
"You should stay with us! We have an extra room. It's no problem at all," I blurted out, perhaps a touch too eagerly.
"Really? I wouldn't be cramping your style? You're not planning a photo shoot tonight, are you?" she said with a grin.
"Well, I'm never planning them, but I never know if Greg is," I grinned back, regaining my composure.
So we settled the bill, picked up her car from the garage where she had parked it and started the twenty minute drive to our house. I decided not to text Greg about our guest, just so I could see the look on his face when we walked in.
A few minutes later, we parked in the driveway and walked up the steps and let ourselves in. Greg was sitting at the dining table with the baby monitor and his laptop, buried in fantasy baseball research.
"You remember Christina, don't you, Greg?" I said as I watched his jaw drop. "She's going to stay the night because her friend couldn't host her after all. I didn't think you'd mind."
Greg recovered quickly with a gulp, "sure, that's fine. Hi Christina. Good to see you again."
I walked Christina back to the spare room to show it to her and yelled to Greg to run down and get a pillow off our bed for her.
"This is your bathroom, and this is your bed. I'll get you a towel, too."
"Do you think Greg would want to take pictures of me? Would you be okay with that? I'd like to feel sexy again." Christina asked, catching me off guard.
"Well, of course, he'd love that," I said, rolling my eyes, "would I be okay with it? I guess so, as long as I get to watch."
"I know you like what you see; I've picked up on that, Kate. Don't worry, you'll get to do more than watch," she responded and stepped close to me, bending down slightly to kiss me flush on the lips.
I was shocked, but it took only a moment for my lips to take over and respond, kissing her back, softly at first, but with more passion as the kiss lingered.
Greg picked this moment to walk in the open door with a pillow, struggling to slide it into a clean pillowcase.
Christina broke the kiss and turned to Greg as his jaw dropped for the second time in the evening. "Get your camera, loverboy."
Greg looked at me, looked back at Christina, looked at me again and then dropped the pillow without a word and turned from the room. I heard him hustling down the stairs and he was back in no time at all, breathing just a bit heavily, fumbling with the lens cap.
