Peas and Carrots Chapter 12 After the long ride home and the screaming and endless screeching of fans, I got Nick set up for his "appointment." We set it up in the bathroom so the hair on the ground would be easier to clean up. He sat down on a stool in front of the mirror on the door. I put a towel around his shoulders and neck. I found a squirt bottle under the sink to wet his hair down so it�d be easier to trim up. "And you�re sure you know what you�re doing?" he asked again nervously for about the 7th or 8th time. "I�m positive. Now quit whining and be still," I said as I began to wet down the hair and comb it flat. "Now, how much shorter do you want it? I�m thinking just over the ears; not quite as short as the tops of you ears, just half and inch longer or so," I said as I looked at his reflection in the mirror and judged it. "What do you think?" "That�s kinda short, isn�t it?" Nick said as he turned his head to look at me. "I can start off a little longer and we can go from there, okay?" I replied as I turned his head to face the mirror again. "Well, I guess. We can always cut off more, but we can�t take it back once it�s gone, can we?" "Yup, that�s very true," I said as I started trimming up the back. The scissors swished as hair fell to the floor. Nick grimaced with the first snip. I could see his reflection in the mirror. He looked really nervous. Good grief, it was just a hair cut, it�s not like we were dying his hair blue or anything. "Oooooops!" I said after I had snipped a tiny bit of hair, trying to even it up in the back.Next: Chapter 13 |
