Always in my Heart (The Subzero Series, #2) by Rebecca Elise Page A

know what to say,” Cath shrugs her shoulders. “I really am sorry.”
    I don’t even know what to say right now. Abby wouldn’t just make stuff up about Cath that wasn’t true. She’s not the kind of person. At the same time, though, I don’t understand why Cath would make stuff up either. It can’t be a coincidence that Abby and Jack are saying the same things about Cath either...can it?

Chapter Seven – Abby
    ––––––––
    “D o you ever worry about how busy we’ve been and are about to get?” I ask Tyler as he walks into the kitchen.
    He frowns at me. “I guess I haven’t really thought about it.”
    I spin around and stare at him. “You haven’t thought about the fact we’ve barely seen each other since your show the other night and that we are going to see each other even less once my bakery opens?”
    Tyler crosses the kitchen, opens up a cabinet, pulls out a mug and pours himself some coffee. He turns to me and smiles.
    “I didn’t mean it like that. I guess I didn’t realize how busy you were going to be but I really don’t think you need to worry about it.”
    “Why’s that?” I ask.
    He sets his mug down on the counter and moves over to where I am standing. He presses his body into mine, his fingertips grazing up the sides of my hips before settling on the curve of my waist.
    “Because you are always on my mind.” He whispers in my ear.
    He feathers kisses across my cheek before softly pressing his lips to mine. I slide my hands up his stomach and chest, rounding over his shoulders and massage the back of his neck with my fingers as our kiss deepens. Pulling me closer to him, he wraps his arms tightly around my waist. Breaking our kiss, he leans back slightly and licks his lips.
    “I have to go,” He looks down at me and sucks in his bottom lip. “If I were you, I’d be dressed and ready to go by five.”
    I raise my eyebrows. “Oh yeah? Why’s that?”
    “Cause the hottest drummer around is taking you out on a date.”
    “Ooooh is Fabrizio Moretti in town?”
    “Wrong drummer.”
    “Hmmm...Rob Bourdon?”
    “Keep it up and you’ll be sitting on the sidewalk eating breadcrumbs with the pigeons while I’m dining on the finest steak in town.”
    “Well then, I look forward to our date.”
    Tyler bends down to kiss me once more before grabbing his drum sticks, banging them on the counters and walls on his way out.
    The thing with Tyler is, just because he mentions eating the finest steak in town, doesn’t mean that is what we are actually doing. I typically wait to see how he dresses for a date before I get dressed myself. I started doing that after the time he told me to dress to the nines and then we went sphereing. I had fun, don’t get me wrong, but if I’m going to roll down a hill in a gigantic see through ball, I’d rather do it in jeans and not in my little black dress.
    We do have a lot of fun together though. We went zip lining once and I, well I’m actually quite terrified of heights, but I did it anyway and we ended up having the best time. He never tells me where we are going when he plans dates. It’s always kind of exciting to see what he comes up with.
    I pull out my cellphone and send him a text to see if I can get any sort of clues as to how I should dress. I get a response almost immediately.
    Tyler – You could wear jeans or you could wear a dress.
    Me – Wow Ty...That is SO helpful!
    Tyler – Your sarcasm is incredibly bewitching.
    Me – Just like your inability to seriously answer a question.
    Tyler – Hey! You told me that was all a part of my boyish charm!
    Me – Don’t you have drums to tap?
    Tyler – As soon as you stop harassing me...wear the prettiest frock you own.
    At exactly five o’clock, I am dressed in a black eyelet dress with a white belted bow and black heels, waiting anxiously for Tyler to get home. I sit down on the couch and flip through a magazine while I’m waiting. Ten minutes later, I hear the door open and
