The beach is a great place to watch the world walk by. While Casey and I were on vacation to Sanibel, we had a blast making a running commentary on the poor mop-headed souls that past by. The hair style (if you can call it that) I dislike the most is the one where the top is all different lengths. Some curly and wavy some short and spiky. Then the sides and back are “blended” with the top. I called tacky shag. Well, one day when we were out to lunch, we saw plenty of that tacky shag cut, and we made several snide comments about one poor soul who had just walked out of a “salon” and how we could fix the bad haircut back at our house.
We got up to leave after lunch and I turned around and saw that another guy with the same haircut was really glaring at us. I nudged Casey we both rolled our eyes and laughed and paid our bill. Something hit me about that guy sitting behind us though. He seemed familiar.
Well, that afternoon while we were at the beach house we had rented, we were watching the soaps out on the beach. When Passions came on and there he was. Sam was the character’s name. We ran inside and looked him up. James Hyde. Tall, dark brown hair. Oh, so handsome. Those ice-blue eyes. Mmmm. Well, we went back outside and had forgotten that we had left the TV on outside. Well, someone with a brown paper bag was standing next to the TV watching it. He turned around and fortunately I had a railing on one side of me and Casey on the other. James Hyde. The guy from the cafe and the TV. Oh, boy, we are in trouble.
He started walking towards us and we braced for the worst. He introduced himself and then we introduced ourselves and what we did for a living. Hyde gave a wickedly, knee buckling smile and said that he probably did not need to have purchased the stuff in the paper bag. It would seem that after we left, he looked very carefully in the mirror and decided we were right. So he went to a local store and bought some clippers. He said that the clerk looked at him and shook his head and told Hyde that buying the clippers was the only way to take care of a haircut that bad. We tried to keep calm.
We invited him in and I apologized for being so insensitive, that maybe I had been to hasty. Hyde put a hand on my shoulder and said that he had paid over $100 for the cut and that alone was stupid. He sat down on a chair in the kitchen and said “chop it off.” I told him I would and that I would show him how to use the clippers he had purchased after I’d cut his hair. I also said I thought he needed to relax so I would give him a scalp massage and then the cut. That was fine with him.
I had Jim (he said to call him Jim...oooooo) sit on one of the reclining chairs on the back deck and leaned him back and using the good old lawn hose ran water through his thick, multi-layered brown hair. I massaged my fingers all through his hair. I ran my index fingers up and down his sideburns slowly. Then Casey gave me some shampoo we brought and a massaged that in to his thick wet and wavy hair. Massaged with my fingers over and over all over his head feeling that thick brown hair through my fingers. Rub the sideburns slowly with the thumbs. Then gently rinse the shampoo from his thick wavy and spiky hair. Massage fingers all over his head making sure that the shampoo has been rinsed. Rub index fingers up and down those sideburns one last time. Raise him to upright position. Jim was so relaxed, I thought he was asleep. His eyes popped open and a sheepish grin spread across his face. He said if for nothing else his trip had been worth that. (If he only knew.)
Casey brought me my clippers without an attachment. I told Jim that I was going to cut his hair shorter than necessary, but that this way he could cut it when he thought it was too long later. He nodded. I also told him that normally, cutting wet hair with clippers is not always a good idea, but since his hair was so thick, it would be easier. Deep breath. Click on clippers. Tilt his head back. Run the clippers straight back down the middle of his head slowly and firmly. Watch the wet wavy and spike mop fall to the deck and see the sexy brown stubble left. Straight back, slowly again and again cropping that thick brown hair down to prickly stubble. Buzzz back. Rub fingers over the prickly stubble. Top done. Move to his right.
Shave straight back from temple to the back. Buzzz. Rub the fuzz. Buzzz straight back. Feel the buzz. Shave of that long, thick,right sideburn. Buzz up the side of the head. Buzz around the ear. Look at all that thick damp brown hair falling to the deck. To the back.
Buzzzz up the back of his head. Slowly from nape to crown, shave off all that thick wavy damp brown hair. Reduce that thick mop to wonderfully prickly stubble. Rub fingers up the back of his head. Buzzzzz up. Rubbbb up. Over and over again. To his left.
Buzzz around his left ear. Watch the pretty brown hair tumble to the deck. Shave straight up the side of his head. Buzzz up. Rubbb fingers up. Buzzz up. Rubbb up. Shave off his long, thick, left sideburn continuing up the side of his head to the temple. Run the clippers all over his shaved head rubbing fingers his prickly head as I go. Click off clippers.
Casey took the clippers from me and handed me shaving cream. Massaged the shaving cream all over his prickly head. A wicked smile came across his face and a very audible purrr came from his throat. Slowly and firmly, I massaged his buzzed head. Rubbing my index fingers where sideburns had once been. Rubbing my fingers across the top of his head where thick brown hair had once been, but now just prickly stubble.
Mach 3 slowly, smoothly glided across the top of his head. Rubb fingers across. Ooooo. Nice. Again. Glide the razor across the top of his head removing all that prickly stubble and leaving silky smooth skin. Slow, long swipe back. Slow long rubbb back. Over and over again shaving off the stubble. To his left. Shaving up the side of his head. Slowly, glide up. Rub fingers up. Glide up. Rubb up. To the back. Slowly, firmly glide the razor up the back of his head nape to crown. Get rid of all that prickly stubble and leave smoooooth silk. Glide up. Rubbb up. To his left. Up the side of his head. Slowly, carefully. Glide up. Rubbb up. Glide. Rubbb. Rubbb. Rubbb. That face. Slowly rub shaving cream across that stunning face. New Mach 3 blade. (Taking no chances with that face.) Slowly glide razor across his very handsome face. Glide and rub. Glide and rub. Soooo niccccce. Sooooo smmmooooth. Glide and rub. Glide and rub. All over his face. Done.
Hot towel from Casey. Place slowly and gently all over his head and face. Wintergreen tonic. Massage slowly and firmly tonic all over his very smooth head. Rub thumbs over where sideburns once were . . . feel how smooooooth. Again and again, massage fingers all over his silky smooth head and face.
Jim got up and rubbed his hands all over his bald head and looked at his reflection in the sliding glass door and laughed and said he should have done this sooner. (Duh). Then he wanted me to show him how to do what I had just done. Well, Casey volunteered. Before the trip, I had given Casey a shaved H & T and so there was not much left to buzz. Casey sat down any way. I took out the clippers Jim purchased and showed him how to properly oil the blades and clean the clippers in general. I ran the clippers back across Casey’s head and a dusting of blond fuzz floated to the deck. Jim was entranced and proceeded to take the clippers from me and shave Casey’s head. He clicked off the clippers and picked up the shaving cream. I was very jealous and then Casey reminded me of just how many times he had seen me do this to other guys. Ok. Ok. So Jim slowly shaved Casey bald with a Mach 3 and then proceed to give Casey a massage to die for with the Wintergreen tonic.
Well, I could not stand it and when Casey stood up it was VERY clear he had enjoyed that. I sat down and said me too. Before the trip I had given myself a #1 buzz cut all over, so again not a lot to cut off, but Jim did not seem to mind shaving off all that blond fuzz. Rubbing his hands all over my head. At one point his ran his tongue up the back of my head. I thought I was going to die. Shaving cream and Mach 3. Glide. Rub. All over my head and face. Then a Wintergreen tonic massage all over my head and face. Slowly and firmly. Over and over again. Then he was done. He took his things and left. I was still in the chair. Could not move. Waved good buy. Casey gave him a business card. What ever. Casey was very jealous. Can’t repeat what Casey did next but, well it involved shaving cream . . . .
Passions, we all have them. It’s just how you express them that makes you special. Casey’s real special.br>
