New Creampie Story, Part 1
I sat in the chair, waiting my turn and reading one of those hairstyle magazines. I wasn’t sure if I wanted to change my ‘do yet or not, but looking filled the time. My regular stylist, Shanna, wasn’t done with her current customer yet. In this circumstance, rather than having me wait at the mall entrance to the salon, she always had me come back and had someone get me an espresso. And so I sat, idly flipping through the mag (was the shag really coming back?) and trying not to eavesdrop on Shanna and her current customer, Lisa.
“Oh jeeze,” Lisa said, “I forgot to tell you. You know I have been dating this guy for a while…”
“…Max…”, Shanna interjected.
“…yes, Max. Anyways, I told you he was a pretty wild lover, right?”
“Uh huh,” Shanna said, listening but also carefully snipping. Lisa was getting a precision bob, and the ends had to be just right.
“Well. Last Friday night, Max takes me out to dinner; says he wants to discuss something important with me.” Lisa looked at Shanna in the mirror, who was looking right back at her, pausing her work. Girls know that when guys take them out in public to talk to them, it is important. I wanted to look too, but I know the limits of involvement when eavesdropping.
New gallery in our creampie blog for today:
“OK,” Shanna said, indicating she was listening. She even lowered the scissors.
“Well. He orders us some wine, and we clink glasses right. Oh, he has ordered a back booth and is sitting next to me, not across from me.” I tried to see Lisa’s hand furtively. No ring. I was sure he was going to propose. This was a big deal setup.
“Go on,” Shanna prompted. These sorts of intimate conversations are why Shanna is always running behind, and why we all like her.
“Well,” Lisa said. I was getting annoyed at her style of punctuating her sentences. “We get the wine, and we take a sip. Then he looks over at me and tells me again that he wants to discuss something with me. I’m like, ‘OK’, and he has this embarrassed look.” She dropped her voice, apparently like Max did, and I had to struggle to hear. “He says, ‘I know we have tried a lot of stuff, sexually, but I have been afraid to tell you this one thing… and it is the one thing that I really really want’.”
“You guys are always surprising me with what you do!” Shanna said, in awe. “What could he possibly want?”
