The Daily part two

The first two weeks went well enough. Every morning I’d be up by 6am. I’d brew the coffee for Miss Nicole and make sure a fresh pack of Virginia Slims 120’s was at the ready. Besides the posted chores I’d be responsible for, grocery shopping was included. Like clockwork every morning Miss Nicole would enter the shop, light a cigarette, pour her first cup, and then wordlessly shave my head. The shave was then followed by the cloth buffering to make my dome shine. Yes, tears came to my eyes everyday for the first few days, but then I got use to it.

I was to be mostly invisible too. When a customer was done Miss Nicole would ring the bell and I’d come out and sweep and reset the barber station. We never conversed, I just did my work and studied my books.

Last Tuesday I fell asleep in the library and I ended up missing class. When I arrived at the barber shop Nicole was in the barber chair facing the entrance, smoking as usual.

“I heard you skipped class today.” She seemed angry.

“I must’ve been exhausted and fell asleep in the library.”

“No excuses!” She alerted me “Now get in the chair!” I meekly obeyed. What could she do? I was already bald.

With her leather strap she sharpened her razor. Then she applied shave cream to my eyebrows, then promptly shaved them off.

“That’ll help keep your eyes open.” She coldly said. I looked ridiculous and began to cry. “Your punishment is not over. I’m gonna give you a reason to cry now. Get up and stand behind the chair. Now pull your pants down. Now put your hands on the chair.” I followed her orders. She then took the leather strap and spanked my bare bottom 25 times. My cheeks were red and I was sobbing when she was done.

“No go to your room and don’t miss another class.”

The next morning she silently shaved my head and eyebrows.
