Let me start off by saying:
“It meant nothing.”
I mean it.
Truly.
It meant nothing.
It was a one-time thing.
I was by myself.
I was in Florida.
And it was hot.
So, so hot.
You were back home in Delaware.
Hundreds of miles away.
And I needed it.
I needed it bad.
Then I heard about this place.
Someone mentioned it.
Said they could take me right away.
No appointment.
No waiting.
And before I knew it… I went.
No expectations.
And honestly?
It wasn’t even that good.
In fact, it felt kinda… icky.
Yes.
Icky.
It meant nothing to me.
NOTHING.
If I’m being truthful, I regretted it almost immediately.
Even before it was over, I knew I had made a mistake.
And afterwards, while gathering myself and heading back to my car, I felt like I was doing the walk of shame.
You know the walk.
That moment where you know you did wrong and suddenly feel so… cheap.
Yes. Cheap.
I kept wondering:
“Did I just use that person… or did that person use me?”
Either way, I knew one thing:
I’ll never see that person again.
It was a one-time thing.
I promise.
And honestly… I thought of you the whole time.
The entire time.
I even caught myself thinking:
“She doesn’t do it like that.”
“She takes her time.”
“She actually cares.”
“She makes sure it’s done right.”
And deep down, I knew I should have waited for you.
So I promise:
I will never go near that place again.
That place or any other place.
And that… is the story of me getting a haircut in Florida because I couldn’t get into R Sterling Salon and Spa to see Patty before vacation.
Please take me back.
Because Patty, you got the goods.
