Fresh Cutt

House call

"knock, knock, knock"

It's open! A voiced yelled from within the house, beckoning the barber to come in.

"Creak, slam!"

And, make sure you lock it, I don't want any weirdos just walking in here like they own place, Darnell said as the barber made his way to him.

Man, I'm not going to lie I thought you weren't going to make it in time to cut my hair before my date with girl I've been talking too.

Woah! Dude, are you good? Darnell paused and asked the barber seeing him in a medical face mask and sunglasses.

Yeah I'm fine, It's just a cold I caught that's giving a sore throat, but I wasn't let some little sickness keep me away from favorite customer! The barber uttered under his face mask.

And, that's exactly why, you will and have always been favorite house call barber, hands down!.

But, you can go ahead and get set-up in the living room and I'll meet you-actully, I was thinking of trying something new that won't cost extra and will take less than ten minutes to do just for you "my favorite customer".

I mean, if it's free, why not. So, what is it? He asked.

It's just a head massage with some essential oils that give off a aromatic smell that suppose to make a women go in heat like a wild animal!.

Shoot, If that's true, then give me double the dosage, I'm trying to get lucky tonight! Darnell said in excitement, leaning back in his gaming chair preparing himself for the massage.

After this massage, you'll look and feel like a new man! The barber said putting on some latex gloves and moistening them with oil as they began the massage.

Ooh! Off rip, you got the magic touch, I already feel relaxed, a matter of fact this massage actually feels similar to one...I used to get...Ahh... by this girl...I used to know, Darnell spoke slowly as he slowly drifted off to sleep.

Three hours later...

Hey, Darnell! Wake up, your done! The barber called out to Darnell, lightly slapping his face to wake him up.

Huh, what? Ouch, my head hurts, how long was I asleep? Darnell asked shaking his head to wake himself.

Don't be a baby, your head shouldn't hurt that much especially after all those pain killers I slipped down your throat while you slept.

Wait, what do you just say?

I said your cut is finished, so why don't you open up those sleepy eyes of yours and take a look, the barber answered grabbing Darnell's gaming chair and spinning him towards a mirror.

Oh wow, that looks amazing but, how come I'm able to see the front and back of it, if the mirror hasn't moved? Darnell commented squinting his eyes in on his haircut.

That's because I removed your scalp after I finished your haircut, silly! The barber said in a cheery tone.

Hearing the barber's words, Darnell's eyes widened allowing to see a full picture of his freshly cut scalp being presented before him on a salon mannequin head while his hands and feet were bound by duct tape.

Oh. My. God! Darnell screamed as he fully snapped out of his drowsy state.

Oh no you don't, no alerting the neighbors until my business is finished! The barber told Darnell as they forcefully stuff his mouth with a rag to keep him quiet.

Now, your probably wondering to yourself "why would my barber do this to me?" the barber spoke in a mocking tone.

Well, the answer is simple, it's because I'm not your barber...I'm your ex, Victoria! The barber said pulling off their face mask as they revealed themselves.

Victoria? Darnell said with a muffled mouth while he shook in fear and pain.

Yeah, that's right, it's me, the same woman who gave you the best years of her life dealing with you, when you had no job, no friends, and no haircut until you met me, and after I spent day and night, customer after customer doing hair and giving haircuts, you never once offered to help me clean up afterwards or even learn how to do it yourself so you could make some money for yourself for God sake.

And on the night of my birthday I was on my knees begging and pleading for to get your hair cut, and when you finally agreed and I had gave you a nice "free" haircut, suddenly everything in your life began to change for the better, you looked better, you got a nice job, and even made some friends at workplace.

And, what did I get in exchange for everything in your life taking a positive turn? Victoria asked.

Nothing! I had nothing left, especially after you stole all my money I saved from all those customers I worked with the following year on my birthday!.

And, since I won't be able to get it back due to you spending it all on this new place and you using what's left to upkeep the haircut I gave you so you could go and chase after other women, then I'll take back the thing started all of this, this fucking haircut! Victoria said angrily shaking the mannequin head holding his scalp in front of Darnell's face.

Here, why don't you hold this for a second before you never see it again, Victoria said to Darnell placing the mannequin head in his lap while she cleaned up her baber equipment.

During the moment Victoria's back was turned to him Darnell started carefully wiggling his hand from the duct tape around his wrist, slowly Darnell inched his hand free looking back and forth from his hand and Victoria so he doesn't get caught and just as Darnell's hand was about to be freed a sharp pair of scissors came barreling down puncturing through his hand into the chair.

Mmmph! Darnell screamed in pain under his muffled mouth.

Hey, were you trying to escape behind my back? I already told you Darnell you can't leave until my business is finished and besides I already got what I came for, but don't worry I'm not going to leave you here alone to sit and rot even though it's what you deserve, Victoria said vaguely as she grabbed her things and the mannequin head wearing Darnell's scalp.

You know that little date you had planned with that work crush of yours to meet at her house. Well, I texted her to meet to intstead meet at yours!.

I hope it goes well! She said while making her way out the bedroom door.

Oops! I almost forget something, Victoria said suddenly dropping her stuff to the floor as she pulled out something from her barber bag.

Like any decent barber knows, "you can't forget about the alcohol", Victoria spoke as she grabbed Darnell by face and dumped the whole bottle of alcohol on the top of his freshly scalped head.

While Darnell squirmed and screamed in pain, Victoria proceeded to pick up all of her things and quietly depart from the house.
