That’s why I was caught off guard when TJ broke the silence with a question

"Chloe said you used to cut hair Will you cut mine for me?"

I blinked in surprise, but answered quickly, "Yeah, sure When do you want to do it?"

"Can I coht?" he asked, hesitantly

"Of course! Just swing by after you drop the boat off at home I’ll have my stuff ready for ya"

"Cool Thanks"

We both looked back at the dip of the boat to see Ian step up off the ladder I ju it back to hiht it with a wink "Thanks, babe"

He dried hi his lips to mine in a quick kiss before he moved past me to take a seat up front, just as Brandon and Chloe rub, ," Brandon called, his voice muffled under his towel as he dried off his hair

We all seconded that, so we headed back to the dock and helped TJ load and tie down the boat while we discussed ere going to do for dinner

"We can hit up the little grocery store and go cookout by the water in the park, or check out one of the restaurants around here," TJ said "I’ to decide just to stop so home When ere finished, Brandon and Chloe took us home and TJ stopped by his house to drop off the boat before he caot ho for TJ, Ian and I jumped in the shower to wash the lake water off of us We’d just gotten out and I was getting dressed when the doorbell rang Ian, who’d already donned a pair of basketball shorts and a t-shirt, went to anshile I pulled on a pair of cotton shorts and a tank top, grabbing my case with my stylist supplies

In short order, Ian was sitting at the kitchen table, and I had TJ sitting in a chair with a cape snapped around his neck to keep the hair off hih his hair as I asked what he wanted me to do with it

"I don’t know I think it’s just ti mohawk that he usually spiked up, and it was dyed black, red, and yellow, so it looked almost like flames His hair, paired with his whiskey colored eyes, only enhanced the striking look of hi that the man was HOT

"If I cut it shorter, you’ll have to dye it again, because I’ll end up cutting hter colors off You’ll probably just have the red and black left," I told hiers

"You knohat? Just cut it all off," TJ said decisively

"Are you sure? How about I just cut it short, that way you can still keep the ‘hawk, just shorter"

He shrugged "Yeah, that’s fine"

He didn’t say anything else, so I took it that it was decided I grabbed my clippers and buzzed the sides down, then took th off the rest until he was left with a three inch long one; in fact, his hair was black, with just the tips barely showing the red

He and Ian had talked a little while I was cutting, mostly about the tattoo shop, Skin Deep, that TJ was now part owner of with Brandon and Luke, but they’d lapsed into silence the last few h his hair, checking to ain

"Thanks for doing this," he said quietly
