Chapter Sixteen

LEO KNEW the whole Christmas period was going to be awkward.

He had plans with his family to go out for dinner on Christmas Day, which would be the perfect opportunity to get blind drunk and forget everything. But he was still so, so mad at his mother, and he knew he wouldn’t get through the afternoon without all that resentment spilling over. Especially if there was alcohol involved.

“You look like shit,” Mitch called as he passed Leo on the couch.

“Fuck you.”

Mitch leaned over and tweaked Leo’s nipple. “Come on. Get dressed.”

“No.” Leo sulked.

“Leo. I have an appointment to get my hair cut and colored and styled, ready for the festive season, and you are fucking coming with me.”

“I don’t want to get my hair cut.” Leo knew he was whining.

He probably should have expected Mitch to grab his ear, twisting it until Leo screeched and scrambled off the sofa.

“Clothes,” Mitch said sweetly. “We’re leaving in five minutes.”

Leo stuck his tongue out at Mitch as he stomped to his room.

He glanced in the mirror as he pulled on jeans and a sweater and admitted to himself that Mitch was right. His hair was too long and looked scraggly, not effortlessly and casually too long. He also needed to shave because his beard came in patchy and gross, but he only had five minutes, so he pulled on a pair of high-tops and grabbed his jacket.

“Good boy,” Mitch said and patted Leo on the head.

“I don’t want to go out.”

“I know, sweetie. Which is why I’m making you.”

Mitch went to a stupidly expensive hair salon, because of course he did. At least it was one of those places that served really good coffee and chocolates and Christmas cookies.

“Just a cut?” the woman at the counter asked. Leo nodded.

“We can squeeze you in,” she said. “You’re lucky; we don’t normally have any appointments this close to Christmas.”

“My friend dragged me here,” Leo said by way of an explanation.

She looked him up and down with an appraising look that said I can see why.

He was handed over to a male stylist who seemed incredibly cool and laid-back, compared to the insane bustle of the salon. The guy wore black jeans and a tight black T-shirt that showed off his muscles, and his arms were covered in black-and-gray tattoos. His head was shaved, and he had a little silver nose ring.

“Hi. I’m Aaron. Come sit down.”

Leo let Aaron wash his hair and sank back into the best head massage of his life. Aaron was good at keeping up a steady stream of chatter, meaning Leo only had to interject a word or two every now and then.

“What are you looking for?” Aaron asked when they were back in the chair. He stood behind Leo and ruffled his fingers through Leo’s hair.

Leo shrugged. “Just cut it. I don’t care.”

“What do you normally get done?” Aaron asked, patient and smiling.

“Just… longer on the top, I guess. I trust you.”

“Thanks,” Aaron said and picked up a pair of scissors.
