outfits, one is
very much a date outfit and the other one could really go either way. I don’t
want to wear the date outfit and have him think that I think it’s a date if it’s
not a date, but I don’t want to be underdressed either. Are you following?”
    Wes’
eyes got really big and his forehead wrinkled as he raised one of his eyebrows.
I stifled back a laugh upon seeing the horrified look on his face.
    “So
glad I’m not a bloody woman,” Wes said shaking his head, “What do these outfits
look like?”
    “One
is dark jeans and a silky black low cut shirt and the other is an amethyst
colored strapless dress.”
    “Do
you even have to ask? I say definitely the strapless dress.” Wes said without a
second thought.
    “Is
that okay even if turns out that Jack invited me out just as friends?”
    “Trust
me, he won’t care.”
    Wes’
phone buzzed and he pushed the call button. “Yes Jocalyn.”
    “Could
you tell Chloe that Julissa Patton is on the phone?”
    “Thanks
Jocalyn.” I said as I stood up.
    “What
the hell color is amethyst?” I heard Wes ask as I walked out.
    “Purple.”
Skylar and I said at the same time.
    As
I approached my desk, I took a deep breath before answering my phone.
    “Hi
Julissa, how are you?” I asked.
    “I
only have a minute since you had me on hold for so bloody long. What DO you want?”
    I
wished I could reach through the phone and shake her or pop her upside the
head.
    “Well
I got a couple phone calls yesterday wanting to know if you were with Kyle
Anderson.”
    “And?”
    “Well
I thought I’d check in with the both of you before I responded.”
    “I
bet he started the rumor.” Julissa said.
    “Actually
he told me it’s not true.”
    Julissa
thought for a moment.
    “How
much money is Kyle making these days?” She asked.
    “I
have no idea.”
    “Ugh.
Well you’re loads of help. I guess you can say it’s not true.”
    “Well
is it?”
    “No
not at all, but if he was making a ton of money I would let people think it
was. Since you don’t know then I don’t want my name tied in with someone who
could possibly be mediocre.”
    Geez,
she’s about as unbelievable as he is. It’s a wonder these two never worked out.
    “Are
we done?” She asked and then, before I could respond, she hung up the phone.
    I
called both tabloids back and gave the generic statement of “Julissa and Kyle,
while they are close, personal friends, are not romantically involved.”
    When
I got home from work, there was a bouquet of stargazer lilies propped up
against my door. Attached to the lilies was a hand written note that said.....
    Can’t wait until tomorrow night – Jack  
    Alright,
amethyst strapless dress it is.

Chapter
Six
    ––––––––
    I woke up Wednesday morning feeling so excited. It was the day of my big “still
not quite sure if it’s a date” date with Jack. My outfit was all ready for tonight;
I just had to somehow manage to make it through work. I brushed my hair and
fixed my makeup before putting on caramel colored dress pants, a pink cashmere
sweater and heels that matched the color of my pants.
    I
didn’t think it was possible for anyone to be more excited about tonight than I
was, until I saw Jocalyn. She looked like she was going to burst when I walked
off of the elevator.
    “OH
MY GOD! Oh my god! Oh my god! Yay! Are you excited? I’m excited! I can’t wait
to hear all about it!” Jocalyn said in two breaths.
    Jonathan
walked out of his office.
    “Jocalyn,
what is all the racket about?” Jonathan asked, holding one hand up to his
forehead.
    “Chloe
has a date!” She said.
    “Do
you?” Jonathan asked me.
    “Sort
of.” I replied.
    “Well
congratulations and good luck. Jocalyn do try to contain your excitement over a
date that is not yours.”
    “Sorry
Jonathan.” She said as he walked back into his office.
    Jocalyn
and I smiled at each other before I headed into my own office. I tried to
search for upcoming events to book my
