Kasey with a K

Chapter 9

"My favorite customer, why have you graced my humble salon today your hair looks fine as it is." Nona Zena was sitting at reception.

"Oh Mr. Adam I have baked too many biscuits this week and I need a good wash and style because my husband has discovered a new restaurant he's taking me to tonight. He said he was saving money again and wanted to treat me." She's up to something I know she is.

"Well come with me my lovely and I will get you started." She passed around her biscuit tin for all to partake in her awesome cooking skills, then Janice sat her at the troughs. I made a quick cuppa for her and waited until I had her on my chair. It will only be a couple of weeks before Janice gets her station then I have to look around for another apprentice.

"My husband said that the man that attacked you was in custody with the Military police. Is he going to be any trouble for you, Adam?"

"I doubt it, Zena, they are offering him counseling and then he will be formally discharged. I have no idea what he's going to do but time will tell, maybe he will turn the corner and become a nicer person."

"I was so worried for you my boy, my husband thinks your cute." What?

"He's pretty awesome too Nona."

"Adam, what's it like having a threesome?" I dropped my brush and my jaw at the same time.

"Nona Zena!" She chuckled into her smock.

The very idea of having a threesome with Zena and Luca was so foreign to me, he is a hunk though.

"You like your little jokes don't you?"

"Yes Adam, you should have seen your face, it was priceless." She belly laughed.

"Well, you be careful otherwise I might make a whoopsie with your dye mix next time. You could be walking out of here with bright green hair." "Oh, do you think it would suit me?"

I laughed as I picked up yet another biscuit and ate it.

A hand rested on my shoulder and Kasey was with me once again.

"Nona, I would like to introduce you to Kasey, my boyfriend."

She stood up but her head didn't even reach his chest, looking him up and down she sniffed.

"Mines better looking."

I started laughing again.

"Kasey this is Zena, Luca's wife she's been a little bit naughty today." Kasey hugged her when he bent down and she offered him a biscuit.

"I am very happy for you Adam, he's a very nice young man. What about a foursome" I kissed her cheek and thanked her for the hour's entertainment, then I wished her a wonderful night. She winked at me and I showed her to the door leaving Kasey red-faced and maybe in shock.

"So, why do I have the pleasure of your company this afternoon my handsome boyfriend?" He had sat in my chair.

"We finished early, so I thought I might come and get a shoulder massage. And Adam, charge me this time will you."

"I can't do that my love."

"The others pay and so should I, I don't mind in the least." He grinned. I started rubbing his shoulders, something I loved to do. I felt all eyes were on me until I looked across the room, yes Wilson, Hargraves and Evans were waiting at reception, probably to get the same treatment.

I massaged Kasey's shoulders for ages and he went to sleep. I didn't want to disturb him so I went over to talk see Trish.

"What's Kasey doing Adam?" Trish asked me.

"Having a nap, I'll use the other station."

"Did you keep him up late last night?" "No, I think the Melbourne stint exhausted him, he said he didn't sleep well without me."

"Figures, bloody sooks the pair of you." She laughed and my next client was ready for me to do my thing and Trish took Evan's hand and led him over to her work station. I worked on the young lady she wanted a trim and blow-dry, but her eyes were all over the guys in the salon. I knew she wasn't here to get her hair done she wanted to perve. I didn't know that some girls liked to do that, and decided if they do they were very discreet. But this one was almost humping my chair, when we finished she then sat at the reception she told me she was being picked up. Not by these guys you aren't, but stranger things have happened here. I giggled to myself thinking about Lucy Loosebox's impromptu show as I cleaned up my station.

Kasey eventually woke up, I had gone to get him a ham salad roll and made him some coffee, and we sat in the tearoom and dined.

"You get an early night tonight Kasey, you look exhausted."

"I will, thank you Adam, I'm not physically tired just mentally exhausted. I didn't sleep when I was away, I had too much on my mind."

"Tell me."

"What?"

"Tell me what's been keeping you awake?"

"I don't know loads of things, my job, you, dad, am I good enough, things like that."

"You certainly are good enough, you are even better than good enough, and I'm going to prove it to you."

"How?"

"My lawyer friend has an appointment tomorrow and I will be asking her questions on your behalf."

"Cool, do you want me here?"

"No, I think it's best if we are alone. Don't worry I got this one." He smiled at me then his hand went behind my neck and he gave me one of his sweetest kisses.

"The next problem is your father, we don't tell him until you have got your diploma or whatever it is you lawyers have. I don't want you to sign up for more years because I want you with me, with us. Your father can either accept it or not, he doesn't have a say in your life anymore."

"No he doesn't, but he's pretty set in his ways."

"We will try and change that mindset, if not we are going to have to dump him." I smiled.

"Thirdly, I'm not going anywhere, if you are still with me in twenty years, I will still be here in this salon, living in the same place, doing much the same things. I'm not going anywhere."

"Me neither Adam with an A." He grinned that shy boy grin I loved so much.

He had to leave, and shortly after I went back to work, he said he was going to the bottom flat to sort out his belongings. Maybe he will make a bed up just for the show, but I think he will spend all his time in our flat.

As it always does, the day dragged because I wanted to be at home helping him sort his things out, I had made some room for him in the closet and drawers, he can work out where he wants his stuff placed, I am now a husband of sorts and I couldn't wait to set up house with my Kasey.

Lock up time and I once again almost ran home, when I got in the place looked like a bomb had gone off there were clothes strewn everywhere. Kasey was sitting at the table looking at his laptop, we kissed and I swept my hand around the lounge room.

"What happened?"

"I couldn't decide what clothes were dirty and which ones were clean. I will get to it in a moment."

"Okay, I will give you a hand then." I had already decided to wash everything and then he can start fresh.

"What are you doing?"

"Looking at online universities baby, you can do Lawyer school on most of them and it's legit too."

"Good, I knew you could do most of it because I read somewhere that some guys that are locked up in prison do it from there cells."

"Really?" "That's what I read somewhere."

I took some chops out of the fridge then started picking up the shirts, he's mostly got military clothes, not much in civvies. I decided to change that on our next shopping excursion.

"I'll do it." He noticed me hard at work.

"It's okay, I will wash everything and then you can go from there."

"Thank you baby, I don't know my way around a washing machine." He giggled.

I didn't mind and had already decided I would get in a good smell of his shorts before I cleaned them.

I tossed the first load in then started the machine, it filled then started whirring. With that done I sorted the rest of his gear out, my place looked much better as I made three stacks. I went to the bedroom to change, he hadn't hung anything up in the wardrobe so I did that for him. I know living with a bunch of guys has turned him into a slob but we will change that over time, hopefully.

"Now, what have you found out?"

"I have bookmarked ten sites that do it and when I'm ready to go, all I have to do is join up and send them my college results, I think. But a lot of them are in the US there's not much in Australia so I'm a bit worried it won't be the same as here, and they want money upfront too."

"Okay I will ask my lawyer friend she will know, and I believe you have the money, so what's the problem?"

He stared at me and said.

"I guess I'm a little nervous about going back to school, and your right I have the money, I don't know why I am worried about it." I knew, and I have to make him believe he's going to be okay. We just have to get through the next year without any hiccups, talking to the commander will put his mind at ease.

He cooked the chops while I hung the first load of washing on the line, everything smelt fresher and I had a sudden thought, will I have to iron these too. I didn't dwell on it because I know a dry cleaner that will press them for me, I can take a few items at a time to him.

"Thank you for doing that for me bub. I don't know the top from the bottom of a washing machine."

"I can show you, all you have to do is turn one knob and push one button." I grinned.

"You can show me later. What time is your friend's appointment?"

"At one, please leave it to me will you. I don't want to scare her off."

"Okay, but you will ring me won't you?"

"Of course I will."

After dinner, I started making a list of questions to ask my friend Judy, the lawyer. He tried to help me but I shooed him away. I know why he's so excited about it too, he's shit scared at being deployed and he thinks by doing this he can ignore that nagging feeling of being sent. I haven't got any answers for him only I pray every night, that time will go faster for him and he is released without incident.

We made passionate love then basked in the afterglow, he was telling me he had moved everything personal and was looking forward to living with me. I told him we have to go shopping for some civvies for him in the next few days, he didn't have much in that line. He agreed that he hated shopping for clothes he always felt he had bought the wrong thing. I said I will fix that quick smart, he grinned.

I did my thing in the morning then we had breakfast, he was off to see the guys and I was off to work with my list of things to ask Judy. It was a non-event she wrote down the Australian site she used and answered every question, and I was more confident Kasey could do it with ease. She also wrote down her number in case he needed a hand she would make herself available.

She was only gone ten minutes when he was standing at my workstation smiling. I handed him the paper and he looked it over smiling from ear to ear.

"Is that all?"

"Yes darling, that's all you have to do, go to that website and join, then send them your school history and transfer the money." He couldn't wait to get home to do his thing.

I hadn't put some of his shirts into the dry cleaners I figured I would iron them as he needs them, so when I got home I started hanging the now dry clothes into the wardrobe.

He came home an hour later and after we had a hot moment in the kitchen he opened his laptop and started searching online. I looked over his shoulder a few times but he was deep in thought reading the contents, he was also writing down a few things, well a lot of things.

"This looks good Adam, the next semester doesn't start for another four weeks so I got plenty of time."

"That's good, do you want to go out for dinner?"

"Yeah, saves you cooking."

"Okay, let me know when you're hungry."

He sat for another half hour then jumped up.

"Come on, I'm hungry."

"Coming," I yelled out.

He giggled as we made our way down to the café, he, of course, ordered straight away but I didn't succumb this time and took my time looking at the menu. I didn't care it was just so nice to be having dinner with my hunky man.

"It looks really easy Adam, I think I'm going to like doing this, hopefully when I get my diploma I can open my own office or get a job in the mainstream Lawyer companies."

"Your own office Kasey, what are you going to specialize in?"

"Criminal law, I had some training that included it, it was fascinating and I think I have the smarts to do it."

"Yeah, you probably have baby, either that or some sort of family lawyer."

"Too dull, and I don't want to work with upset parents and kids, it would do my head in."

"Okay, criminal law it is." I smiled because he grinned like a Cheshire cat. His meal arrived shortly after his drink and I sat and watched him devour it. When mine arrived he was almost finished and I was guessing he wanted to get back to the computer.

"Are you going to join tonight?"

"No, I will leave it for a few weeks to think about it, I can't believe it's going to happen. I had given up all hope until I met you."

"You can do anything you like Kasey, as long as your safe and come home to me every night." I smiled again.

"What a lovely thought, I guess dreams do come true." He took my hand and stroked it.

The clothes were off the instant we arrived back home, he did me on the floor again, it was hard and swift, I think he likes my floorboards. I opened the big envelope that had arrived and pulled out the plans, they were for the apartment downstairs and the money they cost was worth every penny. He had done a great job, I looked them over and was going to show Kasey but his head was still stuck in the computer and he was still writing things down. I relocated the envelope to the bedroom nightstand and will get him to look at them when he gets a free moment.

I did the few dishes then went to shower, my neck was almost clear and I was back in shape again. It gave me new confidence to know that Lloyd was in Canberra awaiting his trial. I showered then looked into the lounge again, he was still at it. I went to bed and opened the plans to have a good look at them. About an hour on I was about to turn the light out when Kasey barged in.

"You didn't wait for me?"

"I was tired Kase, and you were hard at it out there, I want to sleep."

"Can you wait until I shower?"

"Yes, Kasey with a K." I moaned.

He jumped in the shower and I went off to sleep.

In the morning we did our normal routine and I was exhausted before my day started. He had me out on the balcony with my ass in the air over the balustrade, I think he wanted to watch the sun come up.

I made sure he had a good breakfast, and today he is going to have his head in that computer again. He's been making plenty of notes and his scribbling paper was all over the table.

"Can we eat outside baby, I don't want to disturb all those notes, they are in order."

I looked at the mess then looked at him.

"Sure we can, but you have to do something about your filing system." I giggled he didn't think it was funny.

I placed his scrambled eggs on the outside table then went to get mine. By the time I got back his was half gone, he must have shoveled it down.

"What are you doing today?"

"I'm going to have another look at the site then I might go and have lunch with my boyfriend." He grinned.

"Which one, the one you met in the shower or the nice one?"

"You know which one, the very nice one."

"Oh him, well he's taking the afternoon off to take his boyfriend shopping for some new clothes."

"Oh is he, can we eat first?" "Yes, we can I will get Janice to get us some rolls."

"Good."

He went quiet for a bit and I made some more toast for him.

"Adam, can I ask you something?" "Anything Kasey." I smiled.

"You're not going to make me look all gay are you?" I laughed at his worried face.

"Make you look gay, well I doubt whether anyone could make you look, gay baby. Leave it to me we won't buy much just a couple of T-shirts and jeans that fit you properly. Maybe a nice bomber jacket and you need to get some decent slip-on sneakers or something, you have been wearing those boots for weeks now."

"Their comfortable." "So are sneakers."

I did my hair for the last time then he mussed it up when he said goodbye to me. I will see him in a few hours and I couldn't wait to get him in a changing room. I was thinking about styles as I walked to work and I recon the cowboy style would suit him to a T. Wrangler jeans or Levi's maybe a chequered shirt and a few black and some white t-shirts, and we must get a nice jock for underneath, you know to showcase his family assets.

I greeted Trish with a smile, she seemed a little preoccupied this morning but I figured Evans must have been over last night. Eva was glowing as she swept into the salon she shyly winked at me as she passed. I headed for the tea room and told Trish I was taking the afternoon off and she told me she was having tomorrow off, there was something she wanted to do. I stood at reception waiting for my customer when Tim arrived he was so hyped up.

"What's got you in a party mood, Tim?"

"I went over to Keith's place and spent the night, you have to see his cottage its awesome Adam."

"One night we will invite ourselves over Tim, did you have a good time?"

He groaned as my customer walked in and I watched his ass bounce over to the tea room. I guess he's feeling a little full today, I mused.

"Good morning Kelly nice to see you again."

"Good morning Adam, this bloody hair is driving me crazy, can you straighten it out. Sometimes it's got a mind of its own." Kelly's hair was luxurious but it has one flaw, the fringe doesn't sit right, many times I have told her to grow it out, but she likes it.

I steered her over to the wash trough and Janice placed her in the right position to start washing it. I have no doubt it's nice and clean but sometimes the head massage my customers get is very nice too.

I was standing at my station wondering if I should start another apprentice or not. When Kelly walked over I decided to leave it for now, we can all wash hair it's not that difficult. I clipped and straightened her bangs and she did look lovely by the time she left. I did another three customers then my man arrived and we had lunch together. I was hungry so while he babbled on about this online school I was devouring a salad roll. He was so hyped up about it and I did have a fleeting thought, at least it's taking the agony of deployment away for a while.

I sat him at my work station, his hair was the right length now so I shaped it a little better and spiked it. Eva came over while Kasey looked at it in the mirror.

"That's much better, you look human now, very nice."

"Thanks, Eva I didn't care too much before but I love this style, thank you, Adam, with an A." He smiled at me through the mirror and I was trying to hide my hard-on. The girls and guys made a fuss over him as he escorted me outside. I wanted to take his hand but it's not the right thing to do in broad daylight.

I steered him to a department store that had several shops for men's clothing when I found the one I wanted I turned to him and said.

"Now don't be nervous I got this okay?"

"Okay." His grin appeared and we strolled into the store.

I got the salesman to measure him up then we lost him to do our own thing. I had him try on three styles of jeans, and the best ones that suited him were the Wranglers, I also got him to try on different sizes I wanted to show his ass and package off to the max.

While he changed I looked through the t-shirts and shirts, normal ones which suited him much better no advertising just plain. He was pleased with his shopping and he was even more pleased when we hit the sports store. I got him a black jock and some sports shorts. I was very sure he had a boner because he placed my hand on it behind a rack of tracksuits. Shoes next and we found three cool pairs just casual ones, he will look more like a college jock than a military man now.

When we got in I grabbed the scissors to cut the tags off his shopping while he went into the bedroom. He was taking his time so I went to look for him and there he was sitting up against the headboard of the bed in those jocks. It was his turn to open his legs while I got a good shot at him, it was so awesome.

The afternoon was spent with him trying on his purchases just to make sure they all turned me on, then I made him put them away, for my health sake. Trish rang around dinner time to remind me she wouldn't be in tomorrow, which was well and truly okay with me. I didn't ask her what she was up to because its none of my business and she didn't say anyway. Kasey went back to his laptop and I cleaned up the apartment, I thought I might take a long bath tonight its time I pulled him into my routine.

We made a trip downstairs to see if the guys needed anything, Wilson and Hargraves were there watching TV, the place was neat and tidy and the guys had drinks in our hand as soon as we sat down. It was unusual to see Kasey in this situation, their conversation was all about work and he sort of manned up as they talked. I was watching Wilson, he's a lot more, should I say cultured than Hargraves who is a sort of blokey man's man.

At least Eva's skills have improved Wilson's look and I noticed the shine on his face from where he's been using a product on his skin. There is nothing wrong with that at all in my world, I already have Kasey using a face cream, I got the feeling he was excited to be allowed to use it.

The conversation moved to Lloyd's arrest and subsequent charges, they were happy about it, even Hargraves was disgusted with his behavior. He said he wouldn't miss his foul mouth but felt sorry for his wife and kids, he had met them on several occasions and she was a lovely woman. I didn't join in on the conversation, I was happy not to have an opinion and sipped on my coffee, I then had a sudden urge to get home, maybe a leftover from the weeks gone by, but I wanted to feel the warmth of my flat so I said my goodbyes to Kasey's surprise and left them to ponder all things Military.

I started the bath when I got in and was looking forward to languishing in it. While it filled I stood on the balcony and watched the sun go down, my mood had deepened to a somber one. I shook myself and stripped, the warmth of the bath was wonderful. I had put a cupful of relaxing salts in and lit the candles as I usually do. My eyes shut and I forced my mind to think about something else, and that something else was Kasey.

I felt the gentle kiss on my lips and slowly opened my eyes, my man was naked and ready to do what a man's got to do, he stepped into the other end of the tub and sighed as he slipped down into the hot water.

"That's nice, I haven't had a bath for years dad said it used up too much water so he limited us to four-minute showers." He was talking to himself as I planted my foot in just the right place. He wasn't too far away and we had a very nice touchy bath together.

"Did they say anything when I left?"

"Yes and no, they understand you will still be feeling vulnerable, and they said to pass on their good wishes. They are a nice couple Adam with an A, I just wish we had something else to talk about rather than work."

"You didn't tell them about the Lawyer thing then?" "No, I don't want anyone to know just yet. It's our private business and I would like it to stay that way until I'm out of the army."

"I agree with you Kasey with a K, it's something personal that only you and I will know about like the fact I'm going to move up your end and maybe sit on that pole you are sporting."

"Be my guest." He opened his legs and moaned.

We had an early night the bath had exhausted us and relaxed our bodies, I was looking forward to a nice deep sleep and Kasey was asleep the second his head hit the pillows. A thunderstorm brewed during the night and I felt him pull me in closer his breath was felt on the back of my neck, I felt safe.

The following day I had to go into work and Kasey got a call to go check out the state government building, this is something he and his crew did regularly. He was looking in the wardrobe and I noticed his hand brush over his new clothes and a slight smile appear on his face. I suppose it's been a long time since he has had new civvies.

"Don't even think about wearing your new jeans to work, wear the regulation ones."

"Oh, why not?"

"Because Wilson and Hargraves will be all over you in a second, that tight ass will be on show for all and sundry, you know what perverts government people are like." I laughed. He wiggled his ass at me, I wanted to lick it.

He dressed in his uniform and I dressed in mine, he held each other and felt each other up, then we both left in the lift.

"I will see you tonight then." I looked into his eyes.

"Yes, tonight what do you want to do for dinner?"

"I'll bring a cooked chicken home we can make roast chicken and gravy rolls."

"Yummy, that sounds so good to me."

"I can lick the gravy off your face." I leered at him.

"Stop it, I have to go."

"Goodbye Kasey with a K, have a good day." I smiled.

"Goodbye Adam with an A, I love you." He smiled as he walked into the café to greet his workmates.

I walked down the street with a bounce in my step and a smile on my face, I did get a few stares but they were happy ones. The salon was filling me with its perfumed smells as I turned the urn on and placed buns in the Tupperware container for the staff. They started to arrive and I greeted each one of them with a big hug even Trev. My mood had lifted and I was almost walking on air because I wasn't alone anymore and Kasey and I were solid. I had no second thoughts about that at all.

Eva made herself a bun and sat at my station while she ate.

"Wilson was saying that he heard on the grapevine Kasey was starting University online."

"I don't know where he heard that from, he was thinking about it maybe its old news."

"No, he said that Kasey's laptop was open to a university page when he called in to get him the other day."

I sighed and didn't want to tell anyone, Kasey had sworn me into silence.

"If I tell you something will you promise you won't confirm it with Wilson or anyone kiddo?" She smiled because she's almost the same age as me.

"Cross my heart, Adam."

"He's going to do law online, he's always wanted to be a lawyer, it's his father that pushed him into the Military. He's quite brainy and I found out off Judy how he can do it from home online."

"Wow, that's awesome Adam, a brilliant move for him. I wish Wilson would change his career too, I must ask him if he's ever wanted to do anything else. He's never said."

"Well, Kasey swore me to secrecy so no telling, he wants to do this on his own, and doesn't want the rumors to start." I felt a pang of guilt as she kissed my cheek and left to go do a client.

"Mums the word, Adam."

She won't say anything I can trust my staff.

"Good morning sir, what are we having done with that mussed up hair today?" A very cute client was sitting waiting for me.
