Fall into my Heart (The Subzero Series, #1) by Rebecca Elise Page B

said
annoyingly.
    Alex
opened his mouth to respond, but I started talking before he got a chance.
    “Well
first of all, New Yorker’s aren’t rude, we just tell it like it is and second
of all, to answer your question, I consider myself to be a nice person, up
front when I need to be, but not rude, and I definitely try not to insult
people when I first meet them.” I said. The other girl blushed and looked away
quickly.
    “Nice.”
Alex said as he held his hand up. I slapped him a high five, feeling completely
satisfied as I dug into my cheesecake.
    On
the way back from the luncheon, Skylar and I started discussing plans for
tonight. I mentioned that Jocalyn was meeting me at my house.
    “You
realize she may never leave!” Skylar pointed out.
    “Yeah
I thought about that and the fact that she may just start showing up!” I said.
    “Tonight
should be fun though. Do you think Jack will come?” Skylar asked.
    “Not
sure,” I shrugged. “To tell you the truth I haven’t talked to him since we went
out.”
    “Do
you think maybe he’s not interested?” Wes piped up from the back seat.
    “Oh
piss off Wes! Of course he’s interested in her. I’m sure he’s been busy is
all.” Skylar said swatting at him.
    “Yeah
I think you’re right. He did say they were working in the studio. We’ll see I
guess.” I replied.
    Jonathan
pulled up to the curb and we all scrambled out of his SUV.
    “Alright
well I will see everyone bright and early Monday morning.” Jonathan said before
he sped away.
    The
rest of us said our goodbyes before heading off in different directions.

Chapter Eight
    ––––––––
    T en
minutes before Jocalyn arrived I decided I didn’t like the outfit I had picked
out the day before. I returned to the madness of my closet in a mad rush to
find something, anything that jumped out as THE outfit. I was still searching
when Jocalyn knocked at my door.
    “Is
that what you’re wearing.......It’s cute.” Jocalyn said pointing to my pajamas.
    “No
I can’t find anything to wear.” I sighed.
    “Oh
I’ll help!” Jocalyn said enthusiastically as she followed me into my bedroom.
    Jocalyn
walked into my closet and her eyes almost popped out of her face. She looked
like a little kid that was just given full run of a toy store. She looked all
around as she held her hand out and ran her fingertips over the different
fabrics hanging from the chrome bars.
    “Wow!
Look at all of your clothes! I could live in here! Oh I love this!” She gushed
pulling out a light pink satin dress with beading across the chest. I had worn
it when I was a bridesmaid in my cousins wedding.
    “It’s
pretty but I think it might be a little fancy for tonight.” I said.
    “Right,”
Jocalyn said as she browsed through my shirts. “What about this?” She pulled
out a tan peasant top that had the outlines of pink and yellow flowers on it.
    I
scrunched my nose. I hated that shirt. I didn’t even know why I still had it or
why I bought it in the first place. I wondered if there was any way I could sneak
it in with my sister’s luggage when she comes for a visit. If she asks about it
I can just pretend I’ve never seen it before. Probably won’t work though. My
sister is really into fashion and if I hate that shirt there is no way she
would even consider wearing it.
    “Okay
picky. What about this then? It’s cute.” She held up a pair of gray cords and a
green sweater.
    “Jocalyn
that’s the same thing you’re wearing.” I pointed to her outfit.
    “We
could be twins for the night!” She squealed.
    I
shook my head. “Absolutely not.”
    Her
face fell for a moment but brightened back up as she reached for another
outfit. I was almost afraid to see what she was pulling out. When I turned to
her though, she was holding up a pair of jeans and a satin low cut emerald
green top.
    “That’s
actually a great outfit.” I said as I took it from her.
    I
put it on and checked myself out in the oval shaped cheval
