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

could get some dinner. You pick the place, anywhere you want.”
    I
decided to call Jack first before trying to deal with Julissa or any tabloids. I
punched the number into my desk phone and Jack answered on the second ring.
    “Hello?” God his voice was sexy.
    “Hey
Jack, It’s Chloe.”
    “Chloe!
So you free Wednesday?”
    “I
am.”
    “Great
so where do you want to go?”
    “I
don’t really know what’s around here.”
    He
laughed. “Right.....Do you like Italian? I know this great place.”
    “Italian
is my favorite.”
    “Alright
then, how does 6:30 sound?”
    “Sounds
perfect.”
    “Alright,
I’ll pick you up.” He laughed.
    I
smile as I hung up the phone. Glancing down at the other three messages, I decided
they could wait until after lunch. I grabbed a salad and a green tea from the
café and took them back upstairs. Skylar was perched on the edge of Jocalyn’s
desk talking. They stopped and stared at me as I approached them.
    “Spill
it.” Skylar said studying my face.
    “What?”
I asked innocently.
    “Look
at the ridiculous look on her face. I bet it’s about a boy.” Skylar said to
Jocalyn.
    “Oh
is it Jack? Am I right? Oh I bet I’m right. I know he called you; I put him
through to your voicemail. ” Jocalyn said proudly.
    “Jack?
Jack Riley? Chloe you better sit your butt down and divulge some information.”
Skylar demanded.
    I
pulled up a chair and told them about my earlier conversation with Jack.
    “So
is it like a date?” Jocalyn asked.
    “No
I don’t think so.” I said.
    “Wait
so he called and asked you to dinner, you accepted and he’s picking you
up.....explain how this is not a date.” Skylar said.
    “Well
for starters he didn’t ask if I want to go out on a date. He asked if I wanted
to hang out and he is barely picking me up. He lives across the hall from me.”
I noted.
    “Well
what if it turns out to be a date?” Jocalyn asked.
    “Well
that would be fine. I’m pretty sure he’s just being friendly though. He knows I
don’t have many friends here.”
    “What
are you going to wear? Are you going to kiss him? I bet he’s a great kisser. I
bet he uses loads of tongue and everything. ” Jocalyn said.
    “I
have no idea.....to any of that.” I said.
    “Well
we want to hear all about it on Thursday.”
    “Alright,
I promise to give you all the dirty details but for now I have to go call the
diva.” I said rolling my eyes.
    I
sat down at my desk and dialed Julissa’s number.
    “Julissa
Patton’s phone. Willa speaking.” A woman answered; her voice was the perfect
mixture of snob and boredom.
    “Hi,
May I speak with Julissa?” I asked.
    “No
one talks to Julissa.” She snorted. You would have thought I asked to speak directly
to the Queen or something.
    “This
is her publicist, Chloe, and I need to ask her a question.” I said rolling my
eyes.
    “I’ll
try to have her return your call. Try to keep in mind she is terribly busy.”
    Willa
hung up the phone before I had a chance to say anything else.
    I
called Kyle next. I figured I might as well get his side of the story while I
wait for her.
    “Yo.”
A man’s voice said.
    “Kyle?”
I asked.
    “Possibly.....who’s
this?”
    “It’s
Chloe Carver.”
    His
silence made me wonder if he was quickly trying to remember the name of
whatever random girl he was with last night.
    “Your
publicist.” I said with a slightly annoyed and disgusted tone.
    “Hey
there  gorgeous! What’s up?”
    “You
tell me. I got a call from a couple of tabloids wanting to know if you are with
Julissa Patton.”
    “Hah!
She wishes.”
    “They
are saying that the two of you were seen together in Maui two weeks ago.”
    “Have
you talked to her yet?” He sounded a bit nervous.
    “No
I can’t get past her assistant.”
    He
snorted. “That figures. Look Chloe, I’m gonna be honest with you. I was in Maui
then, but I wasn’t with Julissa.....I was, uh I was with her...uh...her sister.”
    “Oh
god Kyle!” I
