5/12/08-This is probably my own reaction to when John's hair got shorter to what it is now. Had some trouble with how I was going to do this little story. Maybe because of the plot. Huh...anyway I own nothing except Maria. She's my own creation.
Haircut
Sitting at her dining room table, surrounded by several case files, Maria didn't notice or hear when her tall love life slipped into her apartment. He casually slipped Ace a treat before making his announcement.
"Hey honey. I'm back."
Jumping in her seat, but not looking up from the papers, she let out a little exhausted sigh. "I didn't even notice you left. Where'd you go?"
"Well, look up and see, babe."
Hoping that he didn't bring home a new dog, she lifted and saw something else. His hair was now much shorter. "You got a hair cut. Looks great." She flashed a smile as he walked closer, giving her a closer look. His close cropped salt and pepper hair did have one small problem. "Damn, I can;t mess it up in the morning anymore."
"I have the upper hand now." He happily said as she stood up to run her fingers through it.
As she did, it would all fall back into place, just like hers did when he messed it up. "Ok, I more then like it. I love it. Don't know why, but it fits your face more."
"Oh, aren't you nice." He teased as she kissed his cheek before turning back to the papers at hand.
"I know. I really am." She sighed as she placed her nose back into the files.
"I guess the files are more interesting then me right now, huh?" He questioned as he took a seat in front of her, taking a hold of one file to look at.
"For the next few hours, yes. Keep it up and this will be the last thing on my mind." She looked over her glasses at him, slipping a sly smile.
-End!
