YOU!
Ashton stood near the recycling area deep in thought holding an empty can of beer in hand.
"I have never seen a girl so beautiful. However, there is something odd about her or is it just me??"
As he stood there not knowing about people waiting up behind him, an old woman yelled,
"Hey boy, if you are not going to move, I am going to shove my trash up your ass!!"
Ashton was astounded by her choice of words but chose not to reply and walked away from the whole scenario.
The night was calm and composed. But, Ashton couldn't get a wink of sleep thinking about the two peculiar beings he met in one day.
[ NEXT DAY MORNING]
"Shit, Its 10 am already!!"
Ashton jumped out of bed cursing his alarm clock and ran to the wash room.
"Will take a dump in the evening", he thought while brushing.
He got into the first set of clothes he found in the wardrobe and ran to the salon.
"This is so unlike me."
He ran with his newspaper rolled in hand. The street was a bit empty than he presumed.
"I am late! I am late! I am late!!! He panicked. "But,I am the CEO!" He tried to convince himself while he ran.
He pushed the glass door hard and was surprised to see his subordinates staring at him.
"What's with the raccoon eyes?" Asked Jerry for which Ashton replied with a stern glare.
He enquired about the business status in the last week.
"The salon which is opposite to ours is running quite good" Jerry said.
Ashton got a little irritated and asked Jerry why he was telling that to him.
"I thought I should start the morning sharing some good news!" Jerry told with sarcastic grin.
Ashton was too tired to engage in a fight, hence went directly to his office and sat down on his comfy chair. He sighed deeply and laid his head on the desk.
"This darn headache is killing me!!"
[ANYONE HERE?]
The conversation between the assistants was broken by a slight knock on the glass door.
"Our first customer of the day", they said among themselves.
Jerry opened the door with a wide smile and enquired, "Aah... What can I do for you Madam?"
He couldn't help but notice her torn dress and messy hair.
"Ma'am, are you looking for a salon or sauna?" He asked humorously.
The girl ignored his remark and told him about advertisement written on the board outside.
"Which board?" Jerry asked and looked in the direction pointed by her while the girl tried to peek inside the salon. Seeing this Jerry stood in front of her and cut her line of sight.
"Ahh, the hair advertisement?? Oh, I see! You want to sell your hair?"
The girl nodded and asked regarding the payment.He told her the price will be decided based on the length and quality of hair and started to estimate her hair length.
"Why can't I guess the length just by seeing it? Does it have to do anything about me being poor in math? Jerry mumbled while the girl curiously looked around.
"I have definitely seen the hazel eyed man come out of this glass door yesterday, but why can't I find him here today?" she thought.
Jerry took her inside and made her sit on one of the chairs trying to ignore the excited faces of his friends for getting a customer.It has been a long time since that advertisement was placed.
"You do have beautiful and long hair Ma'am."
"I will wash and dry the hair after which I will cut it. How much do you wish to cut?"
She opened her arms wide to both sides trying to show him how much he has to cut.
Jerry was a little puzzled by her action, but still opted to keep his words to himself seeing how pretty she was. He was always a gentleman to pretty girls.
He started washing her hair and was amazed at how soft yet dense her hair was.
After cutting approximately one metre of hair, presuming his mental calculations to be correct, he told her to move into the office to collect the money.
She got out of the chair and started walking towards the office. She stopped in between, turned towards Jerry and thanked him.
"Praise the lord!. She looks damn pretty in that short hair", he thought a little bit gasping for breath.
She couldn't help but notice his reaction and felt good about herself. She felt happy.
"Boss! 1 metre hair. Please do the payment" Jerry called out from outside.
She knocked the office door and asked whether she can come in.
Ashton hearing a sweet voice suddenly changed from lying to sitting in a manly posture.
'Guess all men will be the same when it comes to women.'
"You!!!" shouted Ashton forgetting to mask his excitement to see again 'the mysterious green eyed girl' .
