2 New Look

Signing the paper to start procedures for her divorce as well as the protection job Allison watches Andrew call a beautician to chanel her hair. "This beautician isn't going to go overboard is she? I refuse to have my hair too short. Leave me with some of my pride and don't cut above the shoulders."

"Relax Mindy won't do anything to bad to your hair. Are you sure your comfortable moving into my home and becoming a receptionist for me?" Andrew was worried she wouldn't want to go that far, but after reading the medical reports she handed him he felt it was for the best. "If not I c CA not make other arrangements for you but it will take a few weeks to get started."

"I am fine with these arrangements. Push comes to shove I can pretend to be in a relationship with you if Tony discovers me, but we do need some rules since we will be living together." As Allison was saying this the bell above the door rang again and in walked a pixie like red head. She looked like she had just graduated high school at most. 'I hope this isn't the beautician he has on hand.'

"Mindy took you long enough. This is my receptionist Rebecca Walker, can you please give her a shoulder length cut and some bangs that sweep to the left to hide her birthmark. Also dye her hair blonde to make her look like a new person." Andrew was staring at Allison imaging these changes as he spoke of them. Looks like while they were fixing her hair he would need a cold shower or two. 'Why do I feel this way? Yes she is beautiful but knowing what she had been through I shouldn't be feeling this way.'

"Sure Andrew I will so do exactly as you said. Come Rebecca tell me exactly what you want. Don't let this loser steamroll you into his fantasy girl." Mindy watched as this Rebecca girl started laughing wondering if her brother had hit his head. This girl was beautiful but that icy feeling you got from her spoke volumes, while the warmth her laugh and smile gave you made it feel like spring. How many men would fall for such an icy beauty? Was her brother going to be married to this woman in the future? if so she needed to know more about her asap. No one was allowed to be with her brother if he would end up hurt in the long run. She still remembered his pain from seeing that waitress in college he admired marry the towns new doctor.

Andrew noticed the look his sister was sending Allison and knew she was close to realizing that this woman was his secret crush from eight years ago. If only she knew that this time he wasn't going to let her go she might just stop shooting daggers at Allison. " I need to run take this letter to the post office. Also I have a tow truck coming to pick the truck up and take it back to the rental company for Rebecca. Is there anything else that you two need while I am gone besides lunch?"

They both answered at the same time. "Nope be careful." Seeing them answer so fast with the same answer he chuckled softly and headed for the door when he felt someone holding his sleeve. Turning around he saw Allison with a faint fear in her eyes. "There is is a duffle bag in my trucks back seat please get it out and bring it to me. I need it for this to work please." Andrew couldn't help but nod and pull her into a hug before leaving.

Allison was stunned by the hug but wasn't going to fight him on it. That one hug calmed all her fears about him leaving her with this strange woman. How could she turn down a warm hug from such a handsome man she needed to calm herself yet again reminding herself that she was married and going through a divorce. "We will stick to Andrews suggestions. I can imagine how great they will look already."

Mindy just laughed as she pulled her to the second floor beauty shop she had. "Wow my brother found such an obedient little housewife for himself. Looking at the way you dress I never would have took you as the obedient type. Playful and shameless but not obedient. Anyways I approve of any woman that won't hurt my big brother. He has been burnt once. Even though that was his fault for staying quite and not telling her his feelings it was enough to make him never talk to women. He started this practice and fought for the wives of abusive men hoping one day if she needed him he could perform to the best for her in the courtroom. I am just glad he is moving on, so please don't hurt him."

"How does he know she was abused with her husband. Does he have any proof of it? If so why doesn't he approach her? I am sure she would appreciate him coming forward to help her out of the situation." Allison was stunned with all on the information Mindy was giving her while also hurting seeing her beloved hair hitting the floor. Staring in the mirror Mindy put in front of her though she couldn't help but gasp the cut was perfect for her facial shape. The bangs showed off her almond shaped eyes and button nose to perfection. "Mindy how would some red highlights look with the blond hair?"

Mindy started laughing at her knowing Rebecca wanted to shock her brother she happily agreed with her. "Yes I can already see it. Oh and brother knows cause he saw her in the hospital several times. Each time was for a few months straight to heal internal injuries. He would sneak into her room every night while she was there to leave her a flower on her bed and kiss her on the cheek whispering to her how much he loves her."

"That sounds like a stalker but at the same time it's so cute. What did she do to catch his attention? There had to be a reason he fell in love with her." Watching Mindy nod Allison wondered how great it would feel to have a man love her that much. "I wish I could have a love like that." Hearing that Mindy just stared at her with a weird look on her face she calmly says "Me too."
