I Knew I had the Itch â€" Final

I woke up Saturday morning with a text from Duncan and a text from Shawn. My stomach turned. What had a done! Sex with a great friend then sex with the stud QB. Not to mention I shaved the QB’s head bald. I had a full day of clients coming to the garage. I texted them both back like nothing happened. I wish Shawn good luck on his SAT test. I asked Duncan if he had an regrets. I didn’t hear back from Shawn as I assumed he was already in the test. Duncan said "Hell no! My mom is pissed though." I replied "Oh I am sorry. What about us? Any regrets there?" He replied "I don’t know yet to be honest Zack. I am still processing that. Is it ok?" I said "Sure! Just let me know. I have a busy day in the garage." He never replied.
I went down got things set up for the day. I guess that it wasn’t a secret that Duncan had shaved his head because everyone was talking about it. I think I need another barber in the garage! I had so many guys and even a couple of girls getting cuts. Most were just trims. One girl got a buzz cut that was kind of fun. I did a nice pixie cut too which looked really sick! I was cutting Trevor’s hair taking several inches off his over grown hair and giving him a nice fade when Shawn walked in. It was about 3pm. I got butter flies when I saw him. He looked so damn cute. He came over and gave me a quick kiss and I got back to work. He sat and watched as I finished up Trevor. He was really happy with the new look. He thanked me and went on his way. Shawn looked at the floor. "OMG you’ve been busy!" I said "Non stop since 10am! It’s crazy!" Shawn smiled "I don’t think you know how good you are Zack." I looked at him and smiled "thanks babe you are too sweet!" Shawn helped me clean up. We ate a sandwich and he could tell I was nervous.
Shawn said "everything ok?" I looked at him with watered eyes "I need to tell you something. Its hard to tell you for many reasons." Shawn looked at me nervously "you can tell me anything Zack!" He walked over and hugged me as I sobbed a little. I wiped my eyes "If I told you I cheated would you leave me?" He stepped back "what? With who? When? Why could you do that when we just got going together?" I sat in the barbers chair and put my head in my hands. I told him that it just happened! I had no idea. But that I couldn’t tell him who because it would screw the guys life up. Shawn didn’t say anything. He was rightly pissed and just walked out of the garage.
Things were a mess all of the sudden. I posted on my FB that the shop would be closed this week. I had a lot of comments asking me if I was ok and when it would open again. I just replied thanks for the concerns, I will be open again very soon. I hadn’t heard from Duncan all day. Just the gossip about the fact that he had shaved his head bald. I texted Shawn a few times but no reply. How did I let all this happen! I was perfectly content just cutting hair. That was why I started this in the first place. I didn’t mean to fall in love with Shawn and then end up messing around with the hottest guy in school that was likely straight and would probably not even talk to me again. Jeez I just want to go back to cutting hair. No more drama!!
A week went by. I posted on my FB that I would be open on Saturday from 10-6. I started to get a few requests and it really calmed me down. That’s it! This is the solution. I will just give haircuts! No more messing around. It had been a long week at school. Every time I saw Shawn he walked the other way. I saw Duncan a couple of times but he didn’t even acknowledge me. He had a dark shadow on his head by mid week so I guess the head shave was just a one time thing. Saturday went well. Did lots of trims and several fades. Nothing extreme or exciting. It was about 6:30 pm when I finished up my last customer of the day. I was sweeping up drinking a coke and listening to music. The music was up kinda loud so I didn’t hear the door open. When I turned around I was shocked to see Duncan standing there. I didn’t smile. I didn’t show any emotion. I just walked over and turned the music down. Duncan looked at me "Hey, how are you doing?" I looked at him wanting to say so many things but just replied "Good thanks. I had a busy day. Just cleaning up. What brings you here?" Duncan looked down at the ground "I wanted to say I was sorry. I heard about you and Shawn breaking up and it pretty obvious you were super cool and didn’t say anything about what we did and stuff. So I just wanted to say thanks for that." I looked at him "Its growing back fast." Duncan smiled rubbing his one weeks growth "Yeah kind weird how fast the smoothness went away. Felt good smooth." I looked at him with a smirk "You’ll have your luscious locks back in now time." Duncan smiled "yeah probably not every growing it that long again. I don’t know. Haven’t decided what I am doing with it yet." I smirked again "so what happened, I mean after I shaved your head, that was what? You were just using me to do what? Just a one time thing? A hook up? You said would text me which you never did, ignored me at school all week. I lost my boyfriend over you because I couldn’t lie to him. But of course I would never give you up. So you said you were sorry. Im tired I am cleaning up and getting some dinner." I couldn’t believe I stood up to the QB. He could easily break me in two if he wanted to. I started sweeping again. Duncan walked over and sat in the barbers chair. He watched me for a bit and then said "Michelle dumped me did you know that?" I looked at him "I heard. Guess she wasn’t a fan of your shiny head." Duncan cracked a smile "Well we were kind of on the outs anyway. I told you last week I was tired of not being aloud to be who I am." I felt the butterflies forming but got control of myself quickly "Duncan listen, if you think I’m going to be your bounce back or something you have no idea who I am. I had everything just how I wanted it until you walked in here after your game last week." Duncan "I know Zack I know. I screwed up. I didn’t do what we did because you were willing. I did it because I have seriously been looking at you for a while. I wanted to text you all week. I didn’t know what to say." I looked at him "Listen, I want you to leave. If you want to talk tomorrow then text me and we will see. You have me totally confused right now like I don’t even know what to think." Duncan said "That’s cool. What time do you wake up on a Sunday?" I told him "10ish." Duncan got out of the chair and said he would talk to me in the morning.
That night I didn’t sleep at all. No way this dude was actually going to text me at 10am. I was laying in bed. Anxious to see if he was the jerk I think he is or if he was actually going to do it. It was 9:58 and my phone went off. I looked at the screen and it was a text from Duncan. I stared at it like I did the first one he sent me the week before. We said our good mornings and what not. He asked me if I wanted to hang. I said sure and we agreed to meet at noon. He came over right at noon. My mom was out with one of her flings so it was just he and I in the kitchen. I looked me in the eye "I know what I want Zack. Im ready to be who I am. I told my parents this morning who I am. My dad flipped my mom said she knew." I was shocked at what he was saying. I didn’t even know how to respond. He looked at me and said "Did you really think I looked hot with a shiny head." I nodded and smiled "I wasn’t kidding when I said you looked hot bald Duncan. You really pulled it off!" He looked at me "Shop open?" I grabbed his hand and led him to the barbers chair in the garage. I started rubbing his head. It was so soft. Not even enough to pull on yet, but a nice dark shadow of soft fuzz on his head. He suggested we make this one more intimate. I obliged and the next thing I knew we were both naked. I wet his hair down and lathered it up just as I had last week. His hands were all over me. It was more intimate for sure. We were past the exploratory point. We knew where this was going. I spent the next 30 min making him smoother than ever. His head shined as I massaged it gently making sure it was perfect. We went to my room. Two things happened that day, I fell deeply in love with a great guy and Duncan never had hair again. He came to the garage almost nightly and we repeated the process at least 5 times a week. Sadly Shawn and I never spoke again. I felt bad about that. But my new BF was the best thing that ever happened to me! Well besides opening a barber shop in my garage! ……. The End
