Leaving the Friendzone

I stared at my reflection in the mirror before me. My blue eyes looked . . . smoky. Hot. Sexy. My cheekbones were highlighted. Raised. And my lips, having the color of baby pink lipstick and glossy, were to die for. All thanks to Karen.


"You likey?" Karen beamed at my reflection, standing behind me.


"You kidding me? I look like freaking Cleopatra. I lovey," I said, grinning.


"You're welcome," Karen smiled and tucked hair behind her ears. "Now, for the hair."


"Since it's already been curled," Karen began, reaching down and pulling my hair into a ponytail. "I'm just gonna pack it up."


"But I want my hair flowing, Karen, " I frowned.


"Uh duh, of course, it will be, but that's for KJ to take care of. If he sees you and doesn't think to take off the hairband, then you know you're about to see the wrong guy. Period."


"Oh," I mouthed and chuckled. "Did you ever do that with Gabe?"


"Plenty of times, trust me," she replied, patting her hands on my hair.
