Chapter Five

“Marcy, I need your help.”

“Where the hell have you been, Jo’el? I’ve been worried. I even went by your place but you weren’t there. I was going to call the police today because it had been twenty-four hours.”

Always the mother hen. However, she had to give her sister some slack because Jo’el had never not been exactly where she was supposed to be at all times. Predictable as the morning. “Sorry to worry you. The meeting didn’t go so well yesterday and I just needed to escape. Clear my head.”

“That’s understandable. All of us need that sometimes. Just wished you’d at least have called or texted if you were going to go ghost.

If her sister knew exactly how she’d done that, this conversation would be taking a completely different direction.

“Next time I’ll remember that.” Except there would never be a next time like this. Her body ached and yearned for Donovan. Ignoring it she focused on what she needed to do.

“You said you needed my help. What’s up?”

“I want to get some new clothes. Some make up tips maybe.” She stared at her reflection in her dresser mirror. She’d spent the last hour in a bath, soaking her body. Reaching up, she fingered the freshly washed waves of her hair. “Maybe a haircut.”

“Wait…am I hearing you right? Is the numbers geek asking for a makeover?” Marcy’s tone showed she was shocked by the request.

She groaned. “Not when you say it like that.” Already dressed in another one of her classic bra and panties with lace trim she stomped over to her closet. Inside it was one basic color after another. All her blouses were button down like a man’s shirt, in varying shades of green, blue, gray and a white one. Her pants were not any better as they lined up like military shoulders on the other side of the small walk-in closet in dark blue, gray, tan and black. Her shoes that she wore to work were duplicates, just in black, brown and smoke gray. The color reminded her of Donovan eyes.

Sighing, she reached in blindly and pulled out a shirt and pants, not caring which one. “Yeah, I need a makeover.”

Her sister started cheering on the other end.

Jo’el pulled the phone away from her ear to save her eardrum.

“So who’s the man? Some new guy at the office? A man you met in the company café?”

“What?” Jo’el pressed the phone back to her face and froze. “Why’d you ask that?”

“Simple. Women always want to spruce up their look when there is a new man in their lives.” Marcy told her.

Collapsing on the bed still holding her clothes, she said, “There isn’t a new man.” Even though her heart wished there was…one man in particular. However, she didn’t even have a number to call him. Swinging by his house was stalker behavior she didn’t do. “Ian Dare mentioned that if I wanted to really go for the position I needed to look at sharpening my look…you know to get the players attention.
