Hello again. It took me some time to get back into the mood of writing again, but here it is, a third chapter of my story. It’s a direct sequel so if you haven’t read the first two chapters, or read them but don’t remember much since it’s been a while, here they are:
Chapter 1
Chapter 2
Anyway, I hope you like the new chapter. Hopefully, writing further won’t take me quite as much time.

Claudia’s mother felt really terrible all day. She didn’t knew what possessed her yesterday. She grabbed the clippers that belonged to her ex-husband completely instinctively. Her daughter just angered her so much… but probably she had something of a point. Before she could’ve collected herself it was already too late and Claudia’s hair was in shambles. She had to hurry up to work in the morning, however, just when she was about to leave, her eyes caught the glimpse of the damn clippers. She grabbed them and threw them into the first trash can she came across.
Unable to focus all day, she was just going through the motions. But now it was the evening and she was about to get back home, to be confronted by her daughter. She didn’t know what to expect whatsoever. With heavy heart she opened the front door.

Claudia was looking at herself in the bathroom mirror. There seemed to be a slight shadow on her head. It looked like her hair started growing back already. It still felt smooth to her hand, but she decided she would rather be safe than sorry – she wanted to look pristine for Jack’s concert, not to mention shaving felt so nice this morning – so she started lathering her head with a shaving foam.
***
Claudia’s mom entered the house. She put down the handbag on the kitchen table. Her daughter was nowhere to be seen.
“Claudia, are you home?” She asked. A moment of silence and then:
“In the bathroom.”
Claudia’s voice sounded fairly normal. Her mother felt surprised but also relieved.
“Okay… Would you care to talk to me when you are done?” The mother asked, gingerly.
“Come in if you want. After all, I’m not doing anything private. Just some… grooming”.
***
Razor was gliding over her scalp, pass after pass. What a nice relaxing feeling indeed. She was starting to feel slightly wet down there. When Claudia looked in the mirror again, she saw the reflection of her mother entering the bathroom with the corner of her eye. And what a sight it was! The absolute shock on the face of the older woman only added to her contentment.
“What are you doing?” Her mother asked.
“Isn’t it obvious? I’m shaving my head.” Claudia replied, continuing to operate the safety razor as if nothing happened.
“I… I guess that was necessary to tidy up the mess I left on your head yesterday. Surely it won’t look too bad… and I’m sure it will grow back sooner than you expect it.”
“Oh, you feel bad for what you’ve done? High time, mom, high time. But worry not, it doesn’t look too bad. In fact it looks sexy as hell. And growing it back? Nah, not planning on doing that anytime soon, sorry.” Claudia replied, enjoying the sight of her mother’s jaw dropping and her eyes growing to the size of dollar coins.
“What do you mean?” The older woman asked, still trying to collect herself.
Claudia finished shaving her head, rinsed the remaining shaving foam and took a long, scrutinizing look at her scalp in the mirror. Satisfied with the result, she finally replied.
“I mean this” – she pointed to her bald head – “is going to stay. I love the way it looks, I love the way it feels. Therefore I’m keeping it. Not what you expected, huh? Good. You know, I could sue you for what you have done to me. But I don’t think either one of us really wants to go through with this, won’t you agree?”
Claudia’s mom nodded.
“Just as I thought. Not worth the time and effort needed.” Her daughter continued. “So just as it was a crazy luck I ended up loving the bald look, I’ll let you off the hook for your last night’s “attack” – provided you get off my ass and let me live my life as I want it.” Ignoring her mother’s baffled expression, she still continued. “Okay? That’s great. Now if you could be a dear and let me take a shower. I’m going out tonight and I’m sure you have nothing against that, after all I need some little unwinding after yesterday. And it’s Friday, after all, no college tomorrow.” Claudia showed her mother out of the bathroom and started showering.

“Would you mind telling me where are you going, at least?” Claudia heard her mother asking when she came back into the kitchen, ready to go out.
“Not at all, actually. Jack, friend from college asked me to come to his band’s show. They are playing in this club in the city center, you know which one…”
“Excuse me, but… what is that in your nose?”
“Ah, right. I got it pierced the way I always wanted.”
“And probably wasted like a hundred bucks on it. Not to mention it is a quite outlandish thing.”
“It was a gift, as a matter of fact. From Jack. Outlandish, you say? Good, I certainly think it really fits well with my new style.”
“You mean that you are going out like that?”
Claudia looked down on herself. She was wearing her cut down shorts again. She treated herself to a new pair of shoes – a spiky ankle boots that she got for a bargain price of just 50 dollars – along with a pair of fishnet stockings. Finally, a simple tight black tank top finished her outfit.
“You are right, mom. This ain’t gonna cut it. Just one second.”
She grabbed a nearby pair of scissors and cut the top sideways, halfway between the boob line and original hem, not too concerned to get it perfectly straight. She ripped the lower part off, creating a crop top with uneven, ragged hem, exposing her toned midriff.
“Ahh, that’s much better, don’t you think?” Claudia said smiling upon seeing her mother’s slightly shocked expression. Just at that moment engine rumble came from the outside.
“That will be Jack. Okay, see you later, mom. Don’t wait up!”
Afterwards Claudia left, leaving her mother confused, with thousand thoughts running through her head.

The final note echoed through the venue, followed by that unmistakable mic feedback sound. In the first row, right in front of the stage, Claudia was clapping and whooing excitedly. She had a blast during the show. Jack grabbed the mic again.
“Thanks for coming to our gig, you were awesome! Three final things. One: I hope to certainly see you all next time we play! Two: I’m super happy to announce we are working on our first album and it should be available within the next month or two! And three: I’d like you all to meet special someone. Claudia, will you come up on the stage?” Jack stretched his hand down to the audience.
Feeling everybody’s eyes focusing on her, Claudia grabbed his hand and climbed up on the stage.
“A real hottie, isn’t she?” Asked Jack and the audience erupted with cheers. Without skipping a beat, he pulled Claudia close to sensual kiss.
“Guess that’s one way of making us an official couple, isn’t it?” The girl asked when their lips parted.
“As long as you want it, of course. Actually, coming to think of it, I haven’t in fact ask you if you are seeing someone…” Said Jack with a slight grin.
“Well, you are lucky, Mr. Rockstar, because I am not seeing anyone. And I totally want you…” Claudia planted another kiss on his lips, hearing the audience cheer again. Then, without really thinking about it, she grabbed the ragged hem of her cut-down top and started pulling it up, taking it off over her head. Without a bra underneath, her breasts bounced free, her nipples hard and erect. The crowd went wild, wolf-whistling and whooing. Smiling, Claudia started spinning her top over her head and, whooing herself then finally let go of it, watching as the fabric flew towards the audience where it got caught by one of the girls. “I just trapped myself topless on the stage. I have to be mental!” Claudia thought. She felt Jack’s hand wrapping around her waist.
“Wow! Not only hot, but crazy hot that one is!” He said and kissed the side of her bald head. Claudia couldn’t help but smile again.

A while later Claudia was sitting at the bar, drinking a beer. Jack was having a cola – he was driving, after all.
“So, what would you think about modeling for our album cover?” He asked.
“Wow, seriously?”
“Yeah. I’ve been thinking about something eye catching, something that would grab people’s attention and honestly, I’d be stupefied if a beautiful girl with shaved head doesn’t do it. Some nice makeup, some edgy clothes, maybe shot you in some industrial place such as abandoned warehouse or factory – keep it simple.”
“Ah. I was wondering if you wanted these out for the cover.” Claudia smirked, gesturing to her breasts. She was still topless, still a little surprised it took her only a while to start feeling completely comfortable and natural like that.
“No, that would be too much, I think. Although, for the second album cover…” Jack returned a sly smile. “Anyway, I’m going to call Steve, our photographer, tomorrow. He’s good and always on the lookout for unique models for other projects. I’m sure you’ll pique his interest, so there may be a chance for some work – and cash – on the side for you. Nothing too risqué as he mainly works with makeup companies.”
“That would be great. A little cash independence would go miles for me.”
“Excuse me?” Claudia and Jack both turned their heads to a girl that just then approached them. She was holding Claudia’s top. “I was really tempted to take this home.” The girl continued. “But I guess you may need it back to not get into trouble after all”
“Thanks!” Claudia replied, smiling. She took the top and nonchalantly put it into her short’s back pocket. The girl, blushing slightly, gave a little wave and retreated back.

They were heading back to the Corvette. Jack was carrying his guitar in his left hand, with his right wrapped around Claudia’s waist. Her top still hung out of her back pocket. It was the middle of the night, the risk that someone would see her topless and feel upset enough to give her trouble was minimal. Not like she cared much anyway and the cool air felt so heavenly across her naked skin, from the top of her head all the way down to her waist.
Jack placed the guitar in the cargo space behind the seats and afterwards they both got into the car.
“Say… have you seen the movie “Gone in 60 seconds”? The newer one with Cage and Jolie?” Claudia asked.
“Sure, it’s a classic. Why do you ask?”
“Well… I always wondered if Angelina was right. Is the shifter indeed such a big problem for making love in the car? And I kind of want to find out.”
