I had promised Brandi a two week vacation for everything we had been through. Brandi came to me and asked if we could postpone it for a few months. She said that she just didn’t feel like going anywhere right now. I told her that there would be know problem with that. In fact, I think we should wait about six months.

When Brandi was in school her major was biology. The branch of biology that she got her degree in was zoology. Brandi was working for a travel agency and we could get decent rates anywhere in the world. I decided to do a safari, in Africa. What a surprise that would be for her, she has always wanted to go to Africa. I planned to fly into Tanzania, it had been voted the best safari country in Africa. I knew this could be put off.

It had been almost six months to the day when we finally planned the trip. We were leaving on Monday, Brandi was going to get her hair fixed that Saturday before we left. She found out Saturday morning that her hairdresser had come down with the flu and was unable to do her hair.

She talked to her friend Ellen, who set her up with her hairdresser Brad, for a Sunday afternoon appointment at one. Ellen called Brandi at 11 o’clock Sunday morning and told her she was not going to be able to go with her.

Brandi looked at me with those big blue eyes and said, “John, could you go with me? Ellen’s hairdresser is a guy and his shop is in his home. I would feel a lot safer if you would go, I will owe you one.”

“You know I wanted to watch the football games? I will go with you and will owe me two.” How could I turn those big blue eyes, pleading with me down?

Brandi ran and jumped in the shower and changed her clothes. She put on a tank top, no bra and a real tight pair of levies and her western boots. What a fine ass! Out the door we went. We arrived at his address ten minutes early. It was a large ranch style home. We knocked on the door, a guy answered.

He said, “I am Brad and you must be Brandi? I usually don’t work on Sundays but Ellen is such a good client I could not say no to her. Ellen talks about you all the time. You are much better looking than she led me to believe. In fact she called me this morning and told me she was not coming with you I was expecting you to be alone.”

Brad was six foot one, blonde hair, piercing blue eyes, he looked to be between twenty-five to thirty. I knew this guy was a womanizer. I didn’t know if I wanted Brandi with him. I was glad that I had come along. I knew Brandi was not drinking so I didn’t see any problem.

Brandi said, “Thanks for the compliment. This is John my boy friend and he is missing his football.”

Brad reached out and shook my hand. “I want to show you two what I have done to my home. I bought this house five years ago and decided I was going to have my shop here. When you walked in you are in the waiting room. You can see there is a big screen and I have direct TV. John you can see all your games while I do Brandi’s hair. You also can have a beer a glass of wine or a soft drink the frig is stocked. Follow me down this short hallway, on the right is the bathroom. At the end of the hallway is my office.”

I said Brad, “Did you do all this work? It looks great.”

“My friend who is a general contractor did 90% of it. I had to hire another contractor to do the electrical.”

We were standing in Brad’s office. There was a window in front of his desk that looked into the shop. You could see everything that was going on. Brad reached up and pulled the blinds down. At the left side of the room there was a door right before you stepped into the shop. I reached to open the door, Brad stopped me.

“This is my storage area. I keep all my excess supplies, my perms and color in there. It is usually locked you can’t trust anyone. I really don’t want you to see the inside it is really a mess. Lets go ahead and go into the shop. This used to be a three car garage.”

Brad opened the door to the shop and we walked in. On the right hand side was two cutting areas with hydraulic chairs. To the right of the chairs there was a door that lead to the outside. The whole back wall, where the garage doors use to be, was a large room where he did all his chemical work. On the left side of the room was four shampoo bowls. Still on the left side was a changing room. I walked into the changing room. I noticed there were mirrors on all of the walls and a large couch.

Brad asked me, “Do you want to go back in and watch the football games while we get started?”

“I guess so I don’t want to watch you cut her hair that would be a real bore, when I have football on.”

I went back inside and turned the TV on and grabbed a beer. I decide to go back to Brad’s office to take a look and see what they were doing. I pulled the blinds up a couple of inches. I had notice when we were taking the tour through the shop that there were mirrors on the office wall, looking at the office from the shop. That lead me to believe that Brad had installed two-way mirrors. That meant I could see them but they could not see me. I notice a speaker so I turned it on, I could here everything that they were talking about.

Brad was looking at Brandi’s hair suggesting how much to cut. He also suggested a type of coloring and Brandi seemed to agree with him. Brandi was also having a glass of wine. I do believe this was her second glass. This sort of worried me.

Brad said, “I want you to go into the changing room. Take all your clothes off and your boots. The reason for this is when I am doing any chemical work its possible I might spill what ever I am using. I just want to protect your clothes and those beautiful boots. Here is a smock that ties in the front put it on. While you are doing that I am going in to see how John is doing.”

I knew I had to get out of the office and get back to the TV. I let the shades down and out I went. I could almost see the door in the office that lead to the shop from where I was setting. I heard the door open. In a reflection from a mirror in the office, I saw Brad go into the storage room. I thought maybe he is getting the chemicals that he was going to use.

Ten minutes later Brad walked down the hall towards the waiting room where I was. He said, “John how is it going, is your team winning? Brandi is starting her second glass of wine. I think she is getting really relaxed. I have to ask you a favor. Please don’t come out to the shop. When the door is opened it will cause a sudden draft and it really can affect the chemical that I will be using.”

“Sure, I am in the middle of a game and my team is six points behind. So if you hear some hollering don’t let it bother you two just get her hair done.”

He left the room with a big smile on his face and didn’t say another word. Now, I knew there was something being planned and I was going to watch. The hell with the football game! As soon as I heard the door close I went back down to the office. My first thought was to look into the storage room. You would never guess what I found? Two-way mirrors, that means he stood there for ten minutes and watched Brandi take her clothes off. I got the biggest tint in my pants it was really exciting for me waiting to see what was going to happen. I pulled up the chair in front of the desk. Then I lifted the shades four inches, setting down for the show that was going to come.

Brad took Brandi over to the shampoo bowl and washed her hair. He then took her into the chemical room. I heard the blow dryer going. I could see him applying something to her hair. When they came back to the styling area Brandi had a plastic bag over her hair. Brad sat down in one of the chairs and Brandi sat in the other. They had been together about twenty-five minutes. Nothing is happening my hard on is starting to go away. Maybe he didn’t like what he saw when Brandi was undressing. There is no normal man out there that would not like to see those thirty-four double D’s, maybe he is gay.

I decided to go back to the football game and see how my team was doing and another beer. I watched the game for about ten minutes. I started getting curios to see if anything was happening between those two. I got back in the office and Brad was standing behind Brandi messaging her shoulders.

Brad said, “Brandi we have about twenty minutes more for this color to be on.”

They started talking about everything football their jobs. Finally Brad took Brandi over to the shampoo bowl and rinsed the color out. They went back and Brandi sat in the hydraulic chair.

Brandi said, “Brad we have talked about football, hairdressing and my job. We have not gotten into family. Are you married do you have any kids, what’s going on in your personal life?”

“Well, I have never been married, no kids. I am 28 years old. My mom and dad are still alive. I am really close to my dad. My mom ran off with another guy when I was ten and have not seen her since. My dad got married a year after she left. His new wife has been a mother to me. They have been married seventeen years. This stuff I am going to tell you I usually don’t talk about. Not many people know this. Two years ago a drunk driver T-boned my mom’s car she is now a vegetable it has almost killed my dad. He goes to her every day and sets with her. If I could I would pull the plug but there is no plug. She could live like this for another thirty years.”
