Donna Hill - Secret Attraction

“So are you going to tell me how the program is going, or are you going to keep those luscious lips poked out until we get to Rafe’s house? My mama always said, ‘If you do your mouth like that, your lips are gonna stay that way,’” he said in a bad falsetto with a heavy Southern twang.

Dominique turned to look at him and rolled her eyes and tried not to laugh.

“It’s going fine. Thank you very much for asking.”

Dominique was the executive director of First Impressions, a nonprofit agency that provided clothing and training to disadvantaged women and single mothers. She’d recently been approved for a grant to fund a GED program.

“How many students so far?”

“Can you believe we already have a waiting list?” She shook her head in wonder.

“Yeah, actually I can. Lotta people are struggling out there, Dom. All they need is a chance.”

She nodded thoughtfully. “I don’t think I ever realized how much until I started the agency.”

“You do good work.” He turned to her. “I’m proud of you.”

She reached across the gears and squeezed his hand as the car drew to a stoplight. “Thanks. That means a lot coming from you.” Her eyes held his for a moment.

“Yep. Third one from the corner, on the left.”

“Does he know you’re coming?”

“No.”

“Dom, suppose he’s … busy.”

She chuckled. “What else would be new?”
