Fall into my Heart (The Subzero Series, #1) by Rebecca Elise Read Free Book Online

yummy, in fact, that the
image of him biting my lower lip slipped into my mind for a second time.  
    I
glanced over at Jocalyn who was bopping up and down as she sang along with the
band. She was fun to watch. She was awkwardly uncoordinated in her dancing but
she didn’t care. Actually, I thought as I scanned the dance floor, she kind of
fits in. I’d say about eighty percent of the people here are banging into each
other.....of course that could just be from the alcohol.
    I
turned back towards the stage and ended up locking eyes with Jack. My heart began
pounding in my chest as he stared at me with those gorgeous blue eyes. He flashed
me a smile and all of the sudden I felt like I was a love-struck teenager
again.
    I
smiled back and just so I wouldn’t look completely out of place, I started
bopping up and down with Jocalyn. I knew the chances of me falling on my butt
were pretty good, but I honestly didn’t think it would surprise the few people
here that knew me. Plus, I figured since he already saw me, it was best to let
him see me having fun rather than me look like a complete bore standing off to
the side.
    After
playing a couple of songs, Noah announced that the band was going to take a
short break. I caught Jack’s eye again and he motioned to the side of the stage
with his head.
    “Oh
he wants to talk to you. Hurry up, let’s go then!” Jocalyn said grabbing my
arm.
    We
were on our way over to the right side of the stage when I felt someone jab
their finger hard into my shoulder.
    “What
the hell.” I yelled out. Jocalyn turned around, her green eyes widening. Suddenly,
I had a sinking feeling as to who was behind me. Cautiously, I turned around
until I was face to face with the queen bee herself, Julissa Patton.
    “I
thought you weren’t coming.” Julissa said sharply. She glanced at Jocalyn. “Oh
look and you’re babysitting, how sweet.”
    Jocalyn
leaned in then and whispered “Jack’s on his way over.”
    Julissa
looked up over my shoulder and smiled. “I don’t know what you’re trying to pull
but you will do exactly what I ask you to do, exactly when I ask you. Is that
understood?”
    “Julissa,
I really don’t think,” I started to say but she held up a finger to my mouth,
which I took as a signal to stop talking.
    “Hey
Chloe, I’m glad you came.” Jack shouted over the noise of the crowd as he
stopped in front of me.
    Julissa
looked at me. “Introduce.” She said.
    I
stared at her like she was crazy and Jack stared at me with a slightly puzzled
look on his face.
    “Now
Chloe.....really where ARE your manners?” Julissa asked.
    I
shook my head and couldn’t believe I was about ready to give in to this witch.
    “Um...Jack
Riley this is Julissa Patton. Julissa Patton, Jack Riley.” I said. I tried to
sound somewhat like I didn’t care about what I was doing, but judging by the
look on Jocalyn’s face, I don’t think I quite pulled it off.
    “Uh.....Nice
to meet you.” Jack said barely glancing at her.
    “Jack,
how about you and I go get a drink and get to know one another.” Julissa
purred.
    “Uh...sorry,
but I have to be getting back to the stage.” He said
    “Maybe
some other time then.” She said.
    “Uh
yeah, maybe.” He said glancing at her again.
    Jack
looked back to me and leaned in. “Wait for me after the show?”
    I
nodded before he turned and walked away.
    Julissa
looked at me and took a step closer so that our noses where practically
touching. “You will make this happen. Is that clear?”
    I
wanted to tell her off, but I wanted her to go away even more. I knew the only
way that would happen is if I just told her what she wanted to hear.
    “Whatever
you say Julissa.” I said sweetly.
    Jocalyn
and I looked at each other and shook our heads as Julissa and her friends
walked out. I glanced back at the stage and Jack was looking at me with a confused
look on his face.
    I
looked back at Jocalyn. “I think I’m ready for another drink” I said.
