Florence walked into the lounge of the home she shared with her husband. Her and Y/N had met years earlier, just after Lady Macbeth was released, and have been together ever since.
They share ups and downs, the good and the bad. They had been married for six years, they had
two beautiful children together.
Their relationship was happy, strong- built on a
foundation of friendship, love, trust and mind
blowing great sex. Florence thought nothing could
rock the foundations of their relationship.
Nothing until this.
The pandemic had been hard for everyone. Their
family was blessed, owing to their careers and the
wealth they had accumulated, they could endure
the lockdown comfortably. But one thing had built.
It started small but gained momentum- pushing a
wedge further and further. Getting under Florence's
skin.
Y/N needed a damn haircut.
He had always kept his hair short. She loved it. She
loved running her hands through it, messing it up
with her fingers, how it fell naturally back into a
messy-hot position.
That was until the lockdown. There were no
haircuts, no anything except the absolute essential
reasons to leave the house.
They had been out of the prolonged lockdown for
two months now and despite her incessant nagging
and threats to withhold sex Y/N still hadn't gone
for a haircut. It frustrated their five year old
daughter Lilly as well. She joined her mummy's
side and told her daddy off frequently about his
long hair, he just laughed.
Florence saw her opportunity today. Y/N had been
watching the game on tv and fallen asleep, Florence
signalled to her daughter.
"Shh Lilly. Let's go get the scissors!"
Lilly looked at her sleeping father and her eyes lit
up devilishly.
"Ok mummy!" She whispered.
They had spent the next half an hour carefully
cutting Y/N's hair short. Florence behind him
cutting, Lilly sat in front on the floor warning her mum when her dad started to stir. They had finally
finished and cleaned up the hair- now sitting on a
recliner and switching loudly to one of Lilly's
favourite cartoons, waking Y/N from his slumber.
He opened his eyes at the loud tv confused before
stretching and yawning. He smiled at his two girls.
"Hey my beautiful ladies! Is Jimmy having a nap?"
"Yes" Florence smiled. "He's being a little lazy bones
like his Daddy!"
Y/N chuckled before asking his wife.
"What time is it baby?"
"Nearly four!" Florence answered sweetly, smiling at
her husband.
Y/N smiled back as he stood.
"How bout I make dinner to make it up to you?"
Florence smiled and nodded.
"Pseghetti?" Lilly asked excited. It was her
favourite. She loved her Daddy's home made sauce.
She didn't realise how many grated vegetables he
hid in it.
"If you like babydoll!" Y/N smiled at his daughter leaning down to give both his girls a kiss.
He exited the room hearing the pair giggle behind
him, as he walked to the bathroom- splashing
water on his face before looking in the mirror while
he dried it.
"What the f...
Florence and Lilly heard his shocked yell from the
bathroom and looked at each other.
"Uh oh!" Lilly giggled to her mum.
Y/N walked round the corner and glared at his two
girls before he heard Florence whisper
"In 3...2...1... "We love you Daddy!"
The mum and daughter spoke cutely in unison.
Y/N's glare softened and he chuckled.
"Could've just asked you know!"
Florence's mouth dropped open. He did not just say
that! She had asked him for months!
He chuckled again, gaining a mischievous grin as
he walked over and kissed both his princesses.
"I was booked in for a haircut in two days- but now.
Now I need to get a crew cut!"
