“You are not shaving your face!” Ida Belle glared down at me, hands
on her hips. “Jesus, I’m no girlie woman and even I know that shaving just
makes more hair grow. Your upper lip is not the place you want to be
sporting more hair.”
I sighed and slumped lower in my kitchen chair, horribly regretting my
decision to tell Ida Belle and Gertie about my dinner date that night with
Carter. The two of them had descended on me shortly after breakfast,
certain that I needed help presenting myself as a normal girl. It’s not that I
disagreed with them. I just didn’t think they were going to offer much of an
improvement to the process.
Now I sat captive in my own kitchen with pink polish on my toenails
and wearing some oily lotion stuff on my face that Ida Belle said was
hydrating my skin and had to sit until it dried. It was all I could do not to lift
the tablecloth and wipe my entire face with it from scalp to neck.
“Sorry,” Gertie said, “but this wax is taking forever to heat.” She poked
a wooden spoon into a pot of yellow sticky stuff and frowned.
“Is a couple of hairs above my lip really worthy of this much effort?” I
asked.
“Yes,” they both replied at once.
I sighed again.
“It’s either the wax or I tweeze them,” Ida Belle said. “I’m not exactly
a finesse sort of gal, so the wax is probably the better option.”
“I could do it,” Gertie offered.
“No!” Ida Belle and I both responded. Despite constant nagging, Gertie
hadn’t had her glasses updated in years. If she got a hold of me with
tweezers, I was as likely to end up missing a lip as the hair.
“Well, you don’t have to yell about it,” Gertie said.
I stared out the kitchen window at the perfectly beautiful Louisiana
day. The sun was shining, and a cool breeze blew across the bayou, gently
rocking my hammock. My recently acquired roommate, a black cat named
Merlin, was taking full advantage of the weather, stretched out in a patch of
sunlight near the azalea bushes.
After sharing space with Merlin, I’d decided that if I believed in
reincarnation, I’d want to come back as a cat. Cats were surly and not
required to participate in anything, but managed to convince humans to
provide everything they needed. It was the perfect existence for someone
like me, who found everyone and everything as suspicious as cats did.
