He glanced at his watch, 12.30pm prompt, as usual. Sarah was always on time, he loved to watch out for her and greet her as she arrived. "hi Sarah" said Mike as she entered the salon. "Hey you, how are you today?" "Good thanks, you are my last customer before lunch so we can relax and have time to talk too" "Great" she replied as she passed him her jacket. He put the gown around her shoulders and led her to the sinks. Usually a junior would wash the client's hair, but Mike enjoyed Sarah's company. She was an extremely beautiful woman with long blonde hair and green eyes that sparkled as she talked. She was so full of life and zest people couldn't fail to be enamored by her. She sat in the chair at the basin and Mike laughed "Well are you going to remove your sunglasses today young lady?" Sarah frowned, she said she was sorry and had forgotten, but when she removed them, Mike saw a huge bruise under her right eye. "What on earth happened to you Sarah?" "Oh, nothing, me being clumsy as usual". "That being clumsy wouldn't have anything to do with your boyfriend would it?" Mike loathed Sarah's boyfriend Rob. Every week when Sarah arrived for her usual appointment, she would tell Mike that Rob wanted her hair this way, or that way, he never let her cut it short how she wanted it. Sarah had often laughed and joked with Mike about cutting it off, but she said Rob would hate it and he was probably right, she would look hideous without it. A couple of months ago, Sarah had arrived at the salon with her arm in plaster, another accident. Mike looked at Sarah, who was trying to make light of the situation, he loved her so much and he couldn't understand how she could be so loyal to a jerk like Rob. He had often told Sarah that any man should cherish her no matter what her hair was like. She was after all more than Rob's latest fad hairstyle made her. Slowly over time, he saw her stop believing this, Rob was changing her, removing the very love for life that he probably fell in love with her for in the first place.
"Well, I guess we should get started, what do you want me to do today Sarah?" Mike asked when they were at the styling station, trying to help Sarah forget what had happened. "Well, Rob said it would look nice in a blunt cut, straight across the middle of my back today thanks Mike" "But how would you like it Sarah?" Sarah looked wistfully in the mirror. You know, I hate the bother of it really, but there is no way I can change it. Each day I get up an hour earlier than I have to in order to get it looking nice and with the heat it just looks a mess by midday. "How about something shorter then?" suggested Mike, "Lord no" laughed Sarah "Can you imagine Rob's face? He would be so angry!" "Hell Sarah! He doesn't own you, you should have what you want for a change!" Sarah was grateful that Mike cared, he always had and she had always sensed that he cared more for her then he ever allowed show. She often thought if only there was not Rob, but there was so there was no point going over that again. "No, just a blunt cut please today Mike, and thank you for caring" she smiled. "Sarah come for lunch with me after this?" Mike blurted. "I really want to speak to you, I will make us lunch upstairs" "Well thanks Mike, I would like that, I would like that very much" replied Sarah.
After he had cut her hair as Rob wanted, Mike told Shelly the receptionist that he and Sarah were going for lunch. Mike lived in the flat above the shop during the week, and spent weekends on the ranch his parents had left to him. It was very comfortable but he couldn't help wishing he had Sarah to share it with. Mike made lunch and chatted with Sarah, mainly small talk, she seemed uneasy talking about Rob. While he was in the kitchen, he had an idea, but rejected it instantly as insane. Then he thought it over more and went to the bathroom cupboard returning with some sleeping pills he had been prescribed after his parents deaths. He crushed them and put them into Sarah's food. "What are you doing you idiot?" he said to himself, but something drove him on and he and Sarah sat down to eat.
Sarah woke up slowly, the sunlight in her eyes. Squinting she looked around the room, she didn't recognize where she was and was trying hard to think of what she did before she went to sleep. She remembered going for lunch with Mike but after that nothing. She heard the bedroom door open and Mike came in with a breakfast tray. "Morning sleepy" "Mike? What am I doing here? More's the point, where are we?" "Sarah, I need to talk to you, but first are you hungry?" "Yes very for some strange reason" "Then listen while I talk, please" Mike replied. "Sarah, you know I care for you, and I can't stand the way that Rob treats you, no please don't interrupt, I need to say this. Do you realize how much of your vitality, your very being is being sucked dry by this guy? He doesn't love you, he owns you, you are simply his property to do as he wishes with. He makes you do things with your hair you don't want to do, makes you dress as he wants, where are you Sarah? Where is the very essence that used to be you?" "Mike, I know you care, but what can I do?" "Stay with me Sarah? I will love you, I DO love you more than you know" Sarah put her hand to Mike's cheek, her touch melted him inside and he leant to kiss her. She gently kissed him and then held him close, not knowing how she could ever change her life the way he wanted her to. She felt tired again and he laid her back down gently so that she could sleep some more. "We will talk later Sarah" Mike whispered as he left her.
Whe
n Sarah woke again, Mike was with her, leaning close to her watching her sleep. Sarah again went to touch his face as before, but she could not. Her hands felt heavy and didn't respond. She was confused and didn't know what was happening. Mike comforted her, "Sarah, I love you, I am going to do something for you that will prove my love to you once and for all. I am going to show you how special you are, I am going to show you WHO you are Sarah." "What are you going to do Mike? Why can't I move my hands?" Sarah was still blurry, and finding it hard to wake up, she knew she couldn't move and that somehow Mike had bound her hands, but she wasn't afraid. Strangely, she trusted him and knew he would not harm her. Mike continued talking to her "Sarah, you know I would never hurt you don't you" Sarah nodded, she did know he never would. Then Mike reached over and touched her hair, he put his hand under the back of her nape and gently raised her head off of the pillow. He leant down and kissed her gently, passionately and she responded. They continued to kiss and suddenly Sarah became aware of a noise, a quiet low buzzing sound and recognised them as clippers. She pulled away from Mike and instantly saw the clippers in his hand. She looked at Mike, afraid, knowing what he intended to do. "No Mike NO you cannot cut my hair, Rob will kill me, I will look awful like a freak he said so, please Mike PLEASE don't do this to me" Again, Mike gently raised her towards him, his face touching hers he softly whispered in her ear "No Sarah, I am doing this for you, not to you, trust me baby please, I will not hurt you" As he said this Sarah felt the clippers touch her forehead, she panicked and wanted him to stop, but she would not pull away from him again. Part of her wanted this, but part of her was panic stricken as to what Rob would do to her once she went home. Sarah felt the clippers push back gently into her hair, she heard their sound change as the first cut was made. Mike was so gentle as he pushed them to the back of her head, he had placed a number one guard on them and all that remained was fine stubble. He was cutting away all the pain, all the control over Sarah that Rob had, he was giving Sarah back to herself, giving her the ability to start again, free from everything Rob represented to her. Again he brought the clippers to her forehead and pushed them back over to her crown. His hands were so gentle, Sarah closed her eyes and leant her face closer to his. He felt the tears on his cheek, and whispered to her not to cry. That she would soon see the beauty that she truly was. He told her he would make sure she was never unhappy again, and help her to believe how beautiful she was. Pass after pass he made as her hair, her hated hair fell away behind her to the pillow below. Gradually Rob lost his grip over her, she knew this also now. Mike gently moved her head so that he could shave the sides bare of hair. As he looked into her eyes, she moved towards him wanting to feel his kiss, Mike paused from clipping her hair and kissed her. He held her close and felt her shudder beneath him, softly Sarah asked him to release her hands. He did so and they embraced, she moved to him gently pushing into his body with hers. She took his face in her hands and kissed him, moving her hands down she began to unbutton his shirt, kissing his chest and arms as she did so. After removing his shirt she looked at Mike and asked him to make love to her, he took her in his arms and laid her gently down on the bed they caressed for an eternity and Sarah whispered to him to finish shaving her head. She told him she wanted to be bare, to have nothing left of Rob in her life. Mike took the clippers once again, and this time rolled Sarah onto her front, he gently pushed inside of her as he removed the remains of her hair, gently clippering it away until all that was left was a shadowy stubble. Their love making continued and Sarah rubbed her hands on her head, amazed at the feeling, how light her head now felt and how free she felt inside. She took Mike into her again, more passionately, finally leaving her old life behind. Sarah knew that Mike loved her, his eyes told her so, with or without her hair she was beautiful to him. They lay in each others arms for the longest of times, suddenly Sarah took the clippers from the table and removed the guard. She put them to her own head and began shaving the remaining stubble. "I want to be truly free Mike, I want you to shave it all off, I want nothing to remain, then I can truly start again" Mike took the clippers and once again, shaved Sarah's head. When he was finished, she took the clippers from him and without speaking placed them at Mike's forehead, pushing them back through his hair. He felt a surge inside of him and took Sarah again. This time their lovemaking was forceful, he wanted her he wanted her to shave his head. Just having her touching him, wanting him bald like her, shaving his hair away was almost more than he could stand and he pushed hard inside of her. The new Sarah, the released Sarah, forced Mike onto his back, she was in control, she knew what she wanted and she made love to him while she shaved away the remainder of his hair. When it was over they lay in each others arms and talked of their new lives together..
