After I was done with my painting I stepped back and grabbed my cup of tea as I examined my art. “Damn this might be one of my best ones yet…” I said out load to myself.
The painting consists of a small waterfall pouring into a pond with lily pads covering some of the surface. I decided that it looked good and any changes would probably be unnecessary.
As I took a sip of my drink I realised I haven’t been on my daily walk. I have decided to do to loose weight. I know that walking outside a bit everyday isn’t always the quickest way to lose weight but I have been eating healthier more often and I’ve cut out soda entirely.
I looked outside my window as I drank my tea and saw that it was pretty cloudy outside. But that didn’t change anything for me. I finished up my tea and grabbed my coat and an umbrella and went outside.
It was definitely the right call getting the umbrella because it almost immediately started to rain. I decided to go into the downtown area because I usually don’t walk in that direction and also because I could pick up a new paint brush because my old one was getting kind of difficult to use.
As I was walking however I saw someone in the corner of my eye. I turned to my left to see what it was and it was a man in the alley that was between a bakery and a restaurant.
He was wearing very dirty clothes and he had a very torn up blanket that had so many holes in it that it was basically useless. He had a handsome face covered with dirt and grime with a beanie on his head that covers his hair and the top of his ears.
I don’t know what compelled me but I said “Hey are you ok?”
He looked up at me with a confused look on his face. Like he was surprised that anyone noticed let alone cared enough about him to talk to him. “U-Uhhhh yeah I’m okay I guess…” He said after a little bit.
I looked up and saw how much rain was pouring and looked back at him. “Why are you out here?” I asked already knowing the answer.
“I lost my house.” He said while staring at the ground with a look of hopelessness on his face.
I walked next to him so he was under my umbrella and asked him what happened.
“I was trying to make a serum that made it so whoever took it had the ability to see what kind of style would look the best on another person as well as the one they secretly desire. I met a girl who was willing to try it for money. But it had… Unexpected side effects and her husband sued me for everything I had.” He told me.
“Jesus” I said out load. This guy lost everything in one swoop. “What were the side effects?” I asked.
“Her hair fell out and it had this strange effect with her eyes that you probably wouldn’t believe. But she was ok with it because she thought that she looked good.” He told me.
He looked back at the ground and sighed. “But her husband wasn’t too accepting of it…”
I sat there thinking about it for a bit. “What’s you’re name?” I asked.
“David” he said.
I don’t know what compelled me but I just blurted it out without thinking. “Do you want to stay with me?”
He looked up at me with a look of disbelief on his face.
“R-Really!?” He asked with a smile growing.
My god he’s so cute I thought.
“Yeah I don’t mind taking you in until you get back on your feet again.” I said smiling back at him.
“Oh thank you so much miss… What’s your name again?” He said awkwardly but in a cute way.
“Shelly.” I said.
He got up and as soon as we started walking to my house the rain suddenly stopped and the sun started shining brightly.
When we got to my house I brought him to the guest bedroom “Are you hungry by any chance?” I asked him.
“Yeah I haven’t eaten in a couple of days.” He told me.
“Ok well I have some leftovers in the fridge I can heat up for you.” I said.
“Oh thank you! I don’t know how I can ever thank you!” He said thankfully.
“Well you can take a shower for a start…” I jokingly said.
He laughed and said “Yeah I could definitely use one of those!”
He went into the bathroom and closed the door. After he was done getting undressed he handed me his clothes through the door. But luckily I was able to sneak A peek through the crack and look through the mirror and see his chest.
“God damn he’s ripped” I said as I walked downstairs to the laundry room. I threw his clothes in to wash and then went to the kitcheana I don’t know how he was able to maintain such a muscular body while being homeless so I figured he couldn’t have been homeless for too long.
I heated up some vegan curry that I had in the fridge. After it was warm enough I set it on the table and waited. After a bit I heard the shower turn off and called David downstairs. When he came he was wearing a pair of shorts he had in his bag but nothing else.
I loved the view of his abs but I was secretly hoping he would have left the shorts in his bag. He thanked me again and started eating the curry.
We talked as he ate the curry. I learned a few interesting things about him. He apparently really liked reading and drawing but was also into painting like me! He liked cooking which was something I always wanted my dream man to have as a skill because I always sucked at cooking. He also enjoyed going to the gym which was pretty obvious considering the six pack that I (not very subtlety) kept eyeing at.
But as we were talking as he ate all I could look at was his hair. It was the first time I saw him without the hat. I couldn’t help but notice just how bad it looked though. I mean it wasn’t surprising considering the fact that he was homeless after but Jesus.
It was all unevenly cut and the roots looked horrible. As he was eating I said “Looks like you haven’t had a haircut in a while”
He looked up at me and chuckled “Yeah I swear it doesn’t look this bad all the time!”
We both laughed but then he said “Unfortunately you’re going to have to deal with looking at this rat nest for a bit because I can’t afford a trip to the barber.”
“Well I can take a shot at it… If you don’t mind” I said.
David looked up at me “Oh I don’t want to give you any more of a hassle…”
I chuckled at his shyness “It’s really ok David I don’t mind. In fact it would probably be good for the both of us.”
He smiled. “Well… If you insist I guess I can’t blame you for not wanting to look at it anyway!” We both laughed and I went to the bathroom to get everything set up while he ate the last of the curry.
He came to the bathroom after he was done. “Wow it’s almost like I’m going into an actual barbershop!”
I laughed at his joke as he sat on the stool. I grabbed the scissors and walked behind him. “So what kind of style do you usually like?”
“Uhhhh honestly anything works as long as it doesn’t get in my eyes constantly and looks half way decent at least.” He sniggerd.
“Okayyy… Well I hate to break this to you hon but you’ll be losing quite a bit of this.” I said as I inspected his hair.
“Why do you say that?” He asked with a hit of concern in his voice.
“Well for starters even though you said this feels like a real barbershop it isn’t.” I joked.
He chuckled and I continued “And secondly your hair seems pretty damaged. But I’ll save as much as I can.”
He nodded and I started trimming. His hair was really stringy because he just took a shower and that revealed that some of it was uneven. I started trimming the sides and back but it wasn’t easy making it look better.
I started going at the top shorting the hair but making it bit longer than the sides.
I looked in the mirror to see if I did well and frowned. It just didn’t look right. “I don’t mean to hurt your feelings but I hope you aren’t done yet.” David said with a chuckle.
I laughed and said “I just don’t quite know what to do… I’ve tried to save as much as I can but also make it look good…”
Neither of us said anything for awhile. David suddenly spoke up. “What kind of styles do you think are handsome?”
I blushed “W-What…?” I said while my face was getting redder.
He chuckled at my embarrassment and said “Well the way I see it this haircut certainly can’t stay and since I’m going to be staying for a bit I figured I should look good right?”
“I-I suppose…” I said embarrassed that the subject was now on how I prefer my men to look. “I don’t imagine you would really like what style I think is the most handsome though…”
He looked up at me with a curious look on his face. “Well it would help to know what it is in order to answer that.” He said sarcastically.
“Ok…” I said getting ready to spill the beans. “I think that bald men are pretty hot…” I said shyly.
He raised his brow and looked at me. After a bit he laughed and said “You should see just how red your face is!”
I put my hands over my face and laughed. David shifted towards me on the stool “Really?” He asked.
“Yep” I answered. “I just think shaved heads are super hot on men”
David looked like he was thinking to himself for a second and said “Alright let’s do it.”
I looked at him shocked “What?”
“Let’s do it.” He said smiling at me.
“U-Uhhhh are you sure?”
“Yep. You said you probably won’t be able to save much of it so why not start fresh? And plus you shouldn’t complain…” He winked at me.
I smiled while still blushing. I bent down and got the Clippers and razor from the cabinet. I plugged in the Clippers and turned them on.
“Last chance to back out…” I said as I walked behind him and readied the buzzing Clippers.
He smiled and said “Go ahead”
I titled his head down to his chest and drove the buzzing machine from the bottom of his hairline to his crown. His hair came off in thick clumps since it was uneven. The Clippers made short work of it though as it devastated all the hair in it’s path except for the small stubble.
A few more passes later and the hair on the back of his head was pretty much gone. I tilted his head to the right and started working on the left side mowing all his are down with the hungry Clippers.
After that was done I titled his head to the left and started shaving the right side of his head leaving only stuble behind. I looked at his reflection in the mirror and he seemed to be enjoying it quite a bit. His eyes were closed and he was smiling widely.
All that was left was the hair on the top of his head. I could have asked him if he wanted me to stop and instead leave him with his crew cut but I instead put the Clippers tho the center of his forehead and pulled them towards his crown. His smile widened as I did this.
I finished off the buzzing and turned off the Clippers. “Do you want to keep the stuble or do you want to go all the way?” I asked as I motioned towards the razor and cream. He ran his hand over his head and chuckled “Why not?”
I spread the cream on top of his head and wet the razor. I put the razor to the center of his forehead like I did with the Clippers and slid it back to his crown.
Much like with the Clippers I shaved the rest of his head only this time there was not any stuble.
I grabbed a towel and whipped down his head and looked at him.
My eyes widened as I realized that I was looking at the most handsome man I’ve ever seen before.
He seemed to realize this as he stood up and kissed me gently. I kissed back in a loving way and I rubbed the back of his head feeling the smoothness of his scalp.
After we were done kissing I looked at him and said “I did have a guest room that I planned for you to sleep in but you’re not going to be sleeping there now.”
