Secret Snaps and Concealed Giggles [Mark Lee Fluff AU]
The strong smell of chemicals is getting to my senses. Ambiguous noises from the electric devices are needed in this place. The lady attending me smiled at me through the mirror and asked, "So, what haircut would you want this time?" I just smiled at her, she knew how I could go to lengths and break barriers with my way of styling my hair.
I went on explaining to her how I'd want my hair styled this time. They went on with the usual conditioning treatments and the other kinds of stuff. It takes quite a long time that I didn't know I felt into a quick nap like they would mind though.
Woke up to several voices from the other customers but it wasn't much of a bother because I can see that I am almost done too. I looked in the mirror and saw a familiar-looking phone case, that seems like someone's taking a picture of me. I stared at it longer and realized it belonged to someone I know. The phone was lowered and I can now clearly see the owner of that phone. He only flashed a sweet smile to me.
I quickly grabbed my phone and opened my messaging app and chatted with him.
I: Did you just took a photo of me?
Mark: Yep, you looked cute snoring there :P
I : I did not snore!
Mark: You're not sure about that lol
I: Argh, I hate you!
I heard my phone ping after I sent him the last message but I did not bother looking at it because I am kinda annoyed with him. I looked at him through the mirror again and he just laughed looking back at me as if finding the situation funny.
"Is he your boyfriend, Miss?" the hairdresser spoke breaking that trance of annoyance I was feeling over my boyfriend.
"Uhh yes, he is," I softly spoke and blushed as if embarrassed when I admitted it. "Was he here just now?" I asked.
"He was here like two hours ago, you just didn't see him, Miss," the hairdresser chuckled at the thought. "He was scribbling his phone the whole time, finding something to do just to kill the boredom while waiting for you. I can say he has long patience to wait that long."
I bit my lip just to hide the smile coming out of my lips from this thrilling emotion knowing what he did for me. The hairdresser moved the curtains around me to cover and give some privacy for the last touches over my hair.
After a few minutes, I was already done and I am staring at the mirror, not getting used to this new look I am having. I opted for a simple tousled look now, a lighter shade of brown for the color, and chose to cut it shoulder-length. This was opposite to my loud and extravagant hairstyles back then that also shocked the hairdresser when I pitched her my idea earlier.
"You looked great with this one, never imagined you to be going to this hairstyle though," said the hairdresser. I giggled and said my thank you to her. I am excited to show this new look to Mark.
I opened the curtain and saw him there sitting in black ripped jeans, a green hoodie, and his black cap. My heart fluttered how he looked good even with a casual outfit. He looked up to me, slowly stood up, and stared at me. I neared him, not breaking eye contact, and just smiled at him.
"Do I look good?" I asked him.
"Wow, you looked more than good," he said still staring at me.
"Let's go?" I tried to divert his attention because I kind of getting embarrassed how he still didn't break those stares at me. Not that I am comfortable but I can't contain my happiness that my boyfriend is looking at me like I am the most beautiful lady he has ever seen.
He didn't say any word but went on holding my hand and we continued to walk out of the salon. I can still feel him staring at me that I couldn't take it anymore. I stopped our tracks and faced him.
"Hey, you've been staring way too much. Do I look that good or something's wrong with it?" I kidded just to wake him from his trance.
There I saw some hint of panic in his eyes. "No, no, no," he said right away. "It's just that you look good with this look. Not that you don't look good with your past hairstyles but damn, babe you look really hot with this. I can't explain how the color perfectly fitted your face. The curls just highlighted your face more. It was just simple yet it's breathtaking at the same time." Mark looked at my eyes again, "Beautiful is just not enough how to describe you and I am falling deeper with you and I don't regret it at all."
I smiled at him, can't contain the happiness after hearing his thoughts, and the way he looks at me just melts my heart more. Oh God, I wouldn't want to let go of this guy anymore.
