Chapter 31

Jana woke up not so refreshed from not sleeping all night worried the police were already outside looking for her but she's already so far out of Kansas that they may not, she put miles in quite a bit yesterday evening. As she went down to the lobby to have breakfast the older gentleman from the night before looked pleasantly happy to see her as they walked together to the lobby and the gentleman finally spoke,

"I am Howard Wormwood, I am so glad you stayed here."

Jana smiled replying,

"Nice to meet you Mr. Wormwood, I'm Jana Johnson and thank you for having me."

He nodded as Jana noticed he is a fragile thing gentleman,with white hair for his age which be about sixty or seventy years old, and the lightest blue eyes the ocean could see. He stood about five feet one inch and one hundred seventy pounds not a very heavy guy at all.

Mr. Wormwood patted Jana on the back as she got coffee with a bagel then his daughter came up saying,

"Dad, what is she doing here?"

Mr. Wormwood just gave a sly grin replying,

"Tamera, I still run this hotel even though you are the receptionist of this hotel not owner if you want ownership you have to wait until I'm dead. You are only twenty-four years old and have no idea how to run this place best be grateful I don't make you do the maids jobs again."

Tamera sighed knowing he wasn't going to let this go so easily, so she stomped back to her desk pouting like a two year old. Jana couldn't help but giggle at the woman's tantrum as she said,

"Well it looks like she's a handful for her age. So you don't care who stays in the hotel as long as rules are respected?"

Harold patted her on the hand this time replying,

"I have no problem with it whats so ever and you can stay as long as you like."

Jana return the pat responding,

"Unfortunately I can't my ex fiancee's girlfriend has accused me of something so I am on the move until otherwise."

Harold gave a sad look replying,

"I am going to have Tamera change your appearance you can still be outside of Roseland just three hours away the law won't come here anyways. What name did you have picked out for yourself?"

Jana smiled as the man was willing to help her she responded,

"Jennifer or Jenny Cornelius"

Harold nodded going to the front desk to speak with Tamera as they argued for like twenty minutes before they both came over unfortunately Tamera didn't seem so thrilled even being twenty four she had that teenage attitude. Jana looked at her more closely now seeing that she stood five feet eight inches, ninety-eight pounds, with black and red hair all the way down to the middle of her back straight, white fair skin just like Harold's and light green eyes that stood out perfectly with her complexion.

Tamera sighed heavily in a bored way saying,

"Alright, I'll make you a Jennifer but one thing is for sure we are changing everything from hair to clothes, so follow me to my home in your truck. Dad, this is going to take several hours have fun sitting at the desk."

Jana grabbed Tamera by the wrist replying,

"Tamera, hold up, why can't we just take my truck or your vehicle instead of two separate one's?"

Tamera pulled her wrist out responding,

"Because I don't want to invade personal space."

Jana shrugged she had a point as she went behind Tamera seeing her getting into her 1997 Ford Focus and Jana got into her truck. Jana followed Tamera for about thirty miles until she turned off on some dirt road that the road led to a few abandoned houses on each side. Jana thought they were never going to get back on asphalt with the road so bouncy turned into a hour drive once they finally reached a two story house, of course it was white with light yellow siding seeing Tamera get out she didn't spend too much time gazing as she rushed up behind Tamera saying,

"So, this is your place?"

Tamera shook her head no like she was feeling guilty for saying that as she replied,

"It's actually my parent's."

Jana nodded replying,

"Oh okay."

They walked into the house silently as Tamera grabbed her hand guiding her to the bedroom that was the toppest one in the house. Tamera opened the door for Jana letting her in saying,

"I like my privacy and I don't have my parent's to bug me very often up here."

Jana turned around smiling replying,

"You have a very nice bedroom love the dark colors."

Tamera blushed responding,

"So, um, what are we doing as a design to make you look different?"

Jana shook her head no not knowing what look to go for so Tamera grabbed her by the shoulders placing her on the bed as she grabbed all her supplies from her vanity. As Tamera said,

"How about I make your hair blonde with purple frost tips, clothing all dark make you Gothic like so no one can recognize you, oh my you would be so HOT looking like that. I can give you clothes too along with all the hair dye as soon as I am done. We will just need to cut off all them long locks that need to go since you are more of a tomboy type of girl."

Tamera ran downstairs to get her mom's scissors as Jana looked around the room with more detail seeing that she had a few women posters that were Gothic chicks. A red lava lamp with flowing unique bubbles,dark purple computer chair,dark purple bed sheets but a black bedroom wall this girl went all out to make this room hers. Soon as she was done looking around Tamera came back blushing saying,

"I love everything dark purple and black, look here is my stuffed doll I made her Gothic like because it was fun. I am sounding like a kid but I have had a thing for black stuff for as long as I can remember."

Jana grinned sitting back down on the bed replying,

"That is wonderful Tamera, your room is amazing."

Tamera turned a bright pink in the cheeks again responding,

"Before I get started I have one more question."

Jana nodded replying,

"Okay, what's the question?"

Tamera lowered herself eye level with Jana responding,

"Do you have a girlfriend?"

Jana laughed replying,

"Yes, she's in Roseland with my kids she works at a bakery."

Tamera pushed her hands off of Jana shyly covering her face in embarrassment responding,

"I know I was rude to you but you are the most gorgeous woman I have ever seen and I was hoping you were single."

Jana blushed herself replying,

"Thank you, if only I was."

Tamera turned around then got to work they didn't speak anymore knowing it would get more complicated. After an hour sure enough she had made Jana become Jennifer with beautiful complexion and all.
