"I…thank you for being understanding" Giving up on the thought of privacy, I slipped out of the red dress and carefully hung it back up I picked out the black pencil skirt, blue sweater, and black heels I wasn’t wearing any jewelry, but ht away
"Before you tuck in the sweater, here is a discreet holster It wraps around your waist" She passed me a black stretchy strip that closed in the middle with bra hooks "You’ll have to untuck your sweater to get to your gun, but it’s better than nothing"
I wrapped it around andsure to fluff it in the back
"Here," she said She dug in the bag and pulled out a san "This will help"
I pulled it on and stepped into the shoes she’d chosen for s stuck to a small cardboard card I popped those in my ears and checked my reflection My hair was disheveled, but the rest of me looked ready to be a sex-pot on her way to a job interview Not bad at all
"Let’s go" The little woet you a briefcase and set your hair done It looks like you tuht stand"
"Gosh, you kno to ood about herself" I rolled iven ht a scowl I didn’t usually stick things in , but this skirt didn’t have any pockets and I couldn’t just carry it around in ht it was a perfectly acceptable place to store things, but in high school I had worked at a grocery store When you have a wo wet bills out of her bra to pay for her frozen pizza and beer, you just couldn’t think of sticking stuff in your bra again Boob sasn’t so that should be shared
We stopped by a s, and briefcase Froet my hair cut The stylist was not impressed withyour hair up while still wet, , and hair masks By the time she had passed me on to the makeup artist I’d promised to never skip a mud treatment for my hair Once they had deemed me acceptable, I was released froered to the front desk where Mavis waited
"What do you think?" She eyed me critically
"I feel like a plucked chicken" I touched erly
"Excuse me?" Mavis cocked her head to the side
"Never mind" I shook my head "Am I satisfactory?"
"Yes" She handed ister "Our car is out front Are you ready to leave?"
