Ashley's Wedding (8 page)
With little prompting from Teri, Ashley yelled back, "It's OK, Craig. Ah … er … I know you'll love my new look!"
"Come back at 6:00, Craig, and we'll have her all ready for you. Make sure you pull the car right up to the front of the hotel, she probably won't want to walk too far."
"Are you going to ...?" He started to say with a smile of pleasure beginning to form on his face.
Suzi cut him off with a sly smile herself. "Ah ... you'll see."
"Then get to work! I'll be back at six!"
Elsa had already unpacked her bag. She handed an electrolysis wand to Teri, to Kate, and held one herself. "Eyebrows and pubes have got to go," she said matter-of-factly.
"Untie me first, please," Ashley requested. "I'll lie still. Please don't tell Craig about Tony."
"No one is going to tell him anything. It's all behind you, as long as you do what we say." Suzi started to untie her cousin. Ashley, rubbing her hands, lay perfectly still as Elsa started removing her brows, and Teri and Kate worked down below.
A couple of hours later, Ashley's eyebrows were gone. She was red, sore, and slightly swollen, but truly brow-less. Teri and Kate continued to work. Elsa produced her needles and a small jewelry box.
Ashley moaned, "Do you have to do that? And how thin are my brows now?" She was still on the bed and not within sight of a mirror.
"Absolutely, Cuz," Suzi replied. "And if you remove even one of them, you'll disappoint Craig in two ways. Number one, he really likes the idea of what we're doing to you, and number two, we'll tell him about Tony.
"Oh, by the way, your brows are infinitely thin - since you don't have any at all!"
"But I didn't have all of yours removed!” Ashley started to complain.
"True, but you had a permanent expression of surprise etched on our faces." We're actually being kinder to you. You can pencil on a thin line wherever you want and it'll look more-or-less OK, except for close examination."
Elsa numbed and pierced Ashley's nose on the left side. She inserted a diamond stud into her nose and locked on a fastener inside. Elsa next pierced each of Ashley's ears twice more, to total three in each. A bright, diamond stud was inserted in each new hole. She then pierced each ear twice through the cartilage near the top. Ashley yelped in pain since the local anesthetic provided little comfort as the needle and stud were driven through the tough part of her ears.
Teri and Kate continued zapping Ashley's pubic hairs. They were making real progress now, as only a small tuft of hair remained. It took another hour before they completed the task. While they were finishing, Elsa tattooed a butterfly on her shoulder. It was Elsa's first tattooing – she’d just finished apprenticing a few days before - and she was quite proud of the job she did. It matched the others' perfectly.
At the same time, Miki removed the frosted white polish from, and trimmed Ashley’s finger and toenails as short as possible, then painted them a bright red. Suzi stepped up to Ashley’s side.
"Now, Ashley, what comes next is gonna hurt a bit so we’re securing you to the bed again," Suzi told her. They tied her wrists and ankles to the four posts, near the top, spreading her legs wide and propping a pillow under her bottom.
Ashley felt Elsa rub the anesthetic over her inner groin. "No!" she yelled, her eyes wide with fear. Miki put her hand over her mouth, shushed her, and told her if she burst out like that again they'd have to gag her. Her hand stayed in place as Elsa jabbed the needle through Ashley's inner labium lip. Ashley jerked involuntarily, recoiling in pain. She winced again as the small, half-inch, gold ring was locked into place.
Not taking any chances, Miki kept her hand over Ashley's mouth as Elsa pierced her twice more on the left and then three times on the right side. Suzi held Ashley's hand through the ordeal, and gently massaged her temples. In spite of what Ashley had done to her (and she had actually come to accept and even appreciate much of it – especially thanks to Jack’s acceptance and interest), she’d felt that the genital piercings were going too far. Nevertheless, all three of the other bridesmaids had insisted.
They were done. Ashley sported six small rings between her legs. Teri pointed out that, "You won't be walking very comfortably for a week or two. We're sending a supply of the anesthetic with you to help out some. Fortunately, you'll be in first class on the plane so you'll have room to sit with your legs apart. That's not very lady-like, but it should help."
They carefully rolled Ashley onto her side as Elsa tattooed the rose onto her hip.
Next, they set a pillow on a chair, put a Tucks between Ashley's legs to soothe her, and sat her upright in the chair. She still hadn't seen herself in a mirror. It would be a little while yet before she did.
Without fanfare, using a sharp barber’s scissors, Suzi started cutting Ashley’s long, thick hair from the front of her head, as close to the scalp as she could. For the first time, tears formed in Ashley's eyes. The tugging and the crunching of the scissors continued as Ashley's full head of long, rich-dark-brown hair cascaded to the floor. When Suzi had reduced the long hair to random stubble, Miki handed her the electric clippers, without a guard, and Suzi proceeded to quickly shave the rude tufts.
They each helped to lather Ashley's head and shave it clean with a vibrating, Gillette Fusion razor. They rinsed and dried her and massaged lotion into her scalp. Like Suzi, she had a perfectly-shaped, blemish-free head. They took her into the large, darkened bathroom. Ashley walked cowboy-style, holding her legs apart as best she could.
In the bathroom, one of them flicked on the light, and Ashley saw herself for the first time. She gasped a loud, "Oh!" as her eyes adjusted to the bright light and her image came into focus. She reached up to feel her head, rubbing her fingers gingerly over it. Without eyebrows to reinforce her personality, her usually assertive, dominant manner seemed to fade away and her demeanor became that of someone else entirely.
She turned her head from side-to-side to examine the studs in her ears. "Those are kinda pretty, don't you think?" she asked meekly.
"Honestly," Kate said, "you're now as pretty as we are. You know we've grown to accept and even like these changes, and you will too. By the time you get back from Europe, you'll be all healed and so used to being bald that you'll probably never want your own hair again. Why would you? That’s why wigs were invented!"
"The only problem is that my face looks featureless without my eyebrows. I wish you hadn't taken them all off."
"You'll get used to that too. You have a great smile. Use it more. Try different eyebrow styles, depending on your mood. We’ve left you that option. Thanks to you, we don’t have it, unless we want to follow you and remove ours entirely. We look the same every day, all the time - astonished or surprised - regardless of our mood.
“We've packed the same makeup for you that we have. There's an eyebrow pencil in there that you can use to draw some on when you go out - if Craig will let you."
"I'm so sore. How are Craig and I going to enjoy our honeymoon?"
"Teri laughed. "You'll find other ways to do it for a few weeks. Craig seems the adventurous type."
"When you get back from your two-month honeymoon," Miki explained, "we'll all get together again. We'll make sure everything is still in place and healed up as much as possible by then. Elsa will also touch up any regrowth hairs so you'll stay clean. We expect you to beg Craig to shave your head each morning and evening while you're gone. We intend to check with him to ensure that you've been regularly shaved. You know what will happen if you don't."
It was nearly six o'clock. The troupe got Ashley dressed in a sleeveless top and a skirt that ended just above her knees. Pants were out of the question. Ashley was so sensitive, tender and sore that she ultimately rejected panties, deciding to risk it for the sake of comfort. Craig arrived a few minutes later. He was happily astonished at Ashley's new appearance. Within minutes, they were on their way. Ashley left the hotel with her eye-brow-less, bald head exposed for all to see.
They watched them go with satisfied feelings – and surprised looks – all around.
"This has been quite a summer," Miki observed. And all because of Ashley's wedding."
And with that, it almost ends.
It was a cold December back home, but that didn't matter in the least to Suzi and Jack. They basked in the warmth of a brilliant sun suspended in the cerulean sky of Bali. Jack had just rubbed lotion all over Suzi, and was finishing with a gentle massage of her smooth scalp. He kissed her on the top of her head, then continued down the back of her head to her neck, then rolled her over and kissed her glistening, ruby lips again and again. He looked into the deep pools of her eyes. They were twilight blue today. They’d been almost every color but their natural brown at some time in the past months.
They lay back on the blanket together, Suzi's head resting on Jack's strong arm. She was happy. She was contented without reservations. She was who she was supposed to be.
"I wonder how Ashley and Craig are doing," he mused.
"They got back before we left. I suppose she's walking around without any difficulty by now," Suzi responded, laughing. "One thing's for sure, based on what Craig told me on the phone, he won’t let her have any more hair than I do!"
"Life is good," Jack responded with a smile, reaching over to tickle her head. His hand slid down to the smoothness within the thong bikini.
"Ooo, Jack. Uh huh ... Umm ... Life ... is ... good ..."
