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

said pinching the bridge of my nose.
    “I
know it sounds bad. No one knows though so you can’t say anything.”
    “Don’t
worry. I’ll take care of it.”
    “Thanks
beautiful. You’re the best.” He said before we disconnected.
    By
the time I left work for the day, I still hadn’t heard from Julissa. Not that I
expected to really. She was, as Willa told me, very important. I bet she
wasn’t doing anything at all. She was probably just lying about shouting out
demands at people.
    As
soon as I got home, I called Abby to tell her about my dinner invitation.
    “Oh
do you think it’s a date?” She asked excitedly.
    “I
don’t know. Jocalyn and Skylar from work both think it is, but I don’t want him
to think that I think it’s a date if it’s not.”
    “Right
but you want him to know you’re interested.”
    “So
you see my dilemma.” I sighed.
    “What
are you gonna wear?”
    “I
have no clue. What kind of an outfit is appropriate for a dinner that may or
may not be a date?”
    “Hmm,
well you could wear dark colored boot cut jeans, that’s boot cut Chloe, not
flares. I know you like the flared leg, but it’s too casual. Then wear a sexy
top that way if it’s a date you look fantastic, but if it’s not a date, he’ll
wish it was.”
    “Okay,”
I said laughing, “Hey listen, I have a Christmas charity ball thing to go to
while you’re here so bring a fancy dress.”
    “Awww
you need a date and you thought of me. I don’t know if that’s sweet or
pathetic. You aren’t gonna ask your new boyfriend Jack?”
    “He’s
not my boyfriend and besides I’m not leaving you here by yourself after you’ve
traveled so far to come see me.”
    “You
don’t have to babysit me.”
    “I
know that but I won’t have any fun if I know you’re sitting at my house by
yourself.”
    “Alright,
but you’re sure you want to take me and not some hot guy?”
    “Positive.”
    “Okay,
well I gotta go but I’ll see you in a few weeks!”
    I
pressed the end call button on my cell phone and decided to see if I had
anything decent in my closet for my maybe date or if I needed to go shopping
tomorrow night. I bypassed my collection of flared leg jeans, as my sister
instructed me to, and went straight for the boot cuts. I have about eight pairs
of boot cut jeans and I pulled them all out to try on. I couldn’t decide
between two pairs but then I thought about how Abby said to make him wish it
was a date even if it’s not. That thought made my decision easier. I decided to
go with my dark denim boot cut jeans that made my butt look amazing.
    I
stood in my closet and stared at my shirts. I tried nearly every single shirt
on and had finally decided on a sleeveless black silk top with a deep V neck,
when I happened to catch something out of the corner of my eye. It was an
amethyst colored, knee length strapless dress that I loved, but had never worn.
Now I was stuck. I still wasn’t sure if this was a date. The dress screamed
date night.....Maybe I should ask Wes for a male opinion.

    When
I got to work the next morning, I dropped my stuff off in my office and went
right over to Wes’ office. Wes and Skylar were sitting close together, talking
quietly. I knocked on the door and they both jumped, quickly moving apart.
    “Hey
Chloe, What’s up?”
    “I
need a guy’s opinion on something.” I said as I sat down next to Skylar.
    “I’m
your man then. What’s going on?”
    “What’s
going on is that she has a hot date tomorrow night!” Skylar said, wiggling her
eyebrows.
    “Hot
date? Who with?” Wes asked.
    “With
Jack Riley and I don’t know if it’s a date or not.” I said.
    “How
do you not know if -” Wes started.
    I
held up one hand to cut him off. “He asked if I want to hang out and.....well
it’s complicated. Can I just tell you my issue?”
    “Sorry
go ahead.” Wes said, folding his hands together on his desk.
    “Okay
well I’m not sure how to dress. I have two completely different
