CHAPTER 10

Kelly was frowning as she answered the phone. "Dangledon Ford Sales and Service, how may I direct your call?" No one had really noticed her skirt. She'd worn it plenty of times, but never three inches higher. She felt like she was exposing a mile of leg, but no one had looked or said anything. Of course, she hadn't gotten up much, either: she was too scared someone might notice.

She handled the call and frowned fiercer at the phone, using it as an object of thought. Why was she scared? Stepping a toe in the waters was silly if she didn't intend to get in. She had hid behind her hairstyles for so long that anything else felt uncomfortable. She could sneak a hair appointment in two weeks. Would that give her the courage? The month-long natural hair challenge would be over. Would a return to her safety help her through these challenges?

She hadn't made up her mind when Randy rounded the corner and headed past her, coffee cup in hand. He winked like he always did, but said nothing. He headed into the hall leading to the break room.

Kelly grabbed up her cup and finished the remainder of her coffee. She rose and went after him. The phone burbled and she squeezed her cup in her hand. She sat back down. "Dangledon Ford Sales and Service, how may I direct your call?" She handled the call and hung up.

Randy hadn't returned yet.

She went into the break room.

He was in there with Bob, the newest salesman. Randy said, "They love to talk. Let them. Not only does it build a sense of trust between you and the customer, but they will often tell you exactly what you need to know to sell them a car."

Bob bobbed his head. "Makes sense."

Randy clapped his arm. "Experience will take you the rest of the way."

Bob left the break room.

She had finished pouring and was facing him. She said, "Randy?"

His smile was quick and flattering. "Hmm?"

She moved to him as if to tell him something in confidence. She edged her feet closer as he bent his head down, obviously expecting something secretive. Her thigh brushed his and she blurted out the only thing on her mind. "Do you really like my hair this way?"

He jerked his head back a little as if the question surprised him. "Yes; I wouldn't lie to you."

She didn't know what to do or say, so she continued. "It's just that I have this thing about always appearing my best. I find safety in having my hair done—"

He chuckled. "Safety?"

She nodded. "I feel more secure…" He hadn't moved away and she could feel the heat of his leg through his slacks as her thigh brushed it. The sensation sent chills up her back and hardened her nipples.

He touched her hair near her ear, brushing it back a little. "Your natural hair looks far better on you, really."

Footsteps out in the hall had her moving back a bit from him. She said to him, "Thank you.
