My Neighbor The Marine by Skinned21

---

My new neighbor moved in almost 5 months ago , We've ran into each other outside a few times talking very briefly to each other , He seems like a nice guy. What I know about him is he is a former marine his name is Max he's 42 and into weight-lifting he likes staying in shape. Oh and by the way my name is Todd I’m 30 and I’m also into weight-lifting but I’m not as ripped as he is. He's more serious about it then I am , But since we both like lifting I've noticed we have been talking to each other more often. He has actually invited me over a few times to workout with him , He has his garage turned into a workout room which is nice because I have to go to the gym if I want to lift , But we've became pretty good friends and he told me anytime I want to lift feel free to come over and use the weights. Which I've done a few times.

Then Max told me he had to leave for 3 weeks on business and ask if I'd watch his house , Which I said I would , Plus I could use his weights while he was gone which I enjoyed.

Well the 3 weeks passed and Max finally returned home , I had gotten home from work and noticed his truck in his driveway so I gathered up his mail and the key to his garage and took them over to him. Going over I seen he was in the garage so I knock on the garages side door and he let me in , I handed him his mail and key and he told me thanks for helping him out , I told him I was glad to help and thanked him in return for the use of his weights.

Then I notice something different about Max , His head was pretty much shaved not bald but it looked like it had been clipper shaved. Now Max had always worn his hair very short but this was a totally new look for him , But with his build it just made him look that much more tougher.

"Wow Max"......That's some haircut you got , What made you cut it that short ?

Max rubbed his head and smiled , "Well I stayed with an old marine buddy of mine and we use to buzz each others heads so before I left we clipper shaved each others heads" , For old time sakes that is , I’m going to let the top grow-out "A Little" but I'll keep the sides and back this short , "Hell" who know Todd I might just keep it clipper shave for awhile. I mean I have the clippers a great pair of Oster I got a few years back with a #000 blade on them , They'll keep me looking sharp and bald.

Well I do admit you look great with no hair Max. It was at that point I noticed Max looking at me , And I was getting a little nervous.

"Well Max I'll leave you alone so you can relax from your trip" , Again thanks for letting me use your weights.

Todd you don't need to hurry off , I was thinking that I need to repay you for watching my house while I was gone.

Oh it wasn't any trouble Max , "Really" it was my pleasure.

"Hey" Just hear me out Todd , I notice your in need of a haircut. And by the looks of it you haven't had a haircut in sometime.

Max was very right , I hadn't had a haircut in over two years , My hair was pretty much one length and hit right about my shoulders. My Mom and Dad and some of my friends were always telling me I needed to cut it , But I like this look so I just kept it.

As I was standing there Max took a box off one of the shelves , His clippers were in it as was a barbers brush , He walked over to me and put his huge arm around my shoulder and we walked over to his weight-bench and he set me down.

"Todd buddy" Your a good guy but you really do need a haircut , You look like a lady with all that hair of yours. Now you don't have to let me cut your hair I mean we'll still be good friend no matter what , But I'd really like you to let me do this one thing for you. I can tell by the look of your head that you'd look great with a clipper shave like mine.

I really did like Max and I didn't want to disappoint him by saying no or have him think I was some "Pretty-Boy" that was attached to his hair , So I swallowed hard and told him O.K I'd let him give me the haircut.

I could tell he was pleased that I agreed. "Well Max" what do you need me to do first ?

Well I don't have a barbers cape so if you just take your shirt off we'll get started , I took my shirt off and put it behind the bench and Max had plugged the clippers in and laid them on the bench and took out a pair of scissors from the box.

Now Todd with your hair as long as it is I’m going to cut some of it off with scissors before using the clippers , "O.K" ?

Hey your the boss Max.....Whatever you thinks best.

With that Max took a hand-full of hair and started cutting , The scissors sliced there way threw my hair , Max threw the handful of hair on the floor in front of me , He then grabbed another hand-full of hair and cut it off , Again dropping it on the floor he kept repeating this until he had pretty much hacked off the biggest part of my hair.

I reached up and felt my head , In some spots I had maybe an inch length of hair left , In other spots Max had cut my hair right down to the scalp , Just by the feel of it I must have looked like a freak. Then Max gave my shoulder a squeeze and told me how proud he was that I was allowing him to help turn me into a man , Finally getting rid of all that unnesassery hair of mine , And that in a few more minutes I would look like a marine.

I told Max I was glad I had agreed to the haircut to , And it would be an honor to look like a marine. With that the clippers came to life and Max took ahold of my head very firmly pushing it forward and laid the clippers at the nape of my neck and very very slowly started running them up the back of my head , The cold metal felt good as it traveled up the back of my head and over the crown and as the clippers came off the crown of my head my hair fell in front of me.

I couldn't believe after all these years I was let my marine neighbor pretty much shave my head......"What a Rush".........Max kept peeling the back of my head till it was as smooth as he could get it , Then he started on the sides again he kept running the the clippers over and over the sides till they were smooth. Then he walked in front of me and smiled.

Todd I hope your enjoying this as much as I am.

"I am Sir".........I’m enjoying it alot I just wish I'd gotten this mop cut sooner.

And then Max placed the clippers at the front of my head and pushed them straight down the middle , It was the most amazing feeling having the clippers shear off all the hair on the top of my head. And Max coutinuosly ran the clippers over my head until he was sure there wasn't a hair left , Then for good measures he re-clipped my entire head one more time to make sure every bit of my hair was gone.

Max stepped back and looked at his handy work and smiles , Perfect he said then he pulled the barbers brush from his back pocket and cleaned off my head then my shoulders. Then as I was wiping off my chest Max walked over to a table and picked up a mirror and brought it back and handed it to me. I looked at myself and couldn't believe what I seen , I smiled and looked at Max and thanked him for this amazing new look.

He was right I did look like a Marine , And I thought to myself "Boy I can't wait for Max to give me my next haircut" And I already decided I would let Max do whatever he wanted.
