My Heart Says Yes Read Online Free Page B

have to shower and with your new gorgeous hair Emma, it
seems it takes you twice as long to get ready now.  Did you decide on those
jeans you showed me and that cute shirt?”
           “Yep, and heels of course!”
           “Heels, really?  Won’t you be
uncomfortable?”
           “Maybe.  But you know what they say,
the higher the heel, the closer to heaven!”
    When we got to Kelly's
friend’s apartment, there were already a ton of people there.  I met a bunch of
her friends and I was chatting with Sophie and Rena when I noticed this guy in
the corner who was staring at me.  He had that dark, brooding, sexy thing going
on and he was drop dead gorgeous.  Is he really looking at me ?  
Even though I looked different on the outside, the insecure old me was still
inside.
           “Hey, do you guys know him?"  I
try to be subtle about gesturing with my head in his direction.           
           “Yeah, that’s Caleb Morgan.  He’s a
grad student at the Art Institute.  He’s really arrogant and thinks he’s God’s
greatest gift.  The rumor is he breaks hearts left and right and he’s nothing
but trouble if you ask me.”  Rena's response was casually dismissive.
           Sophie leaned in to whisper the next
part to me.  “He’s also a trust fund baby, spoiled rotten, and used to getting
anything he wants.”
           Rena chimed in with a little more
information about him.  “His parents each manage their own hedge funds, can you
believe that?  Two hedge funds in one family!”
           “Hmmm, I wonder why he didn’t follow
in mommy and daddy’s footsteps?”  My curiosity was piqued because he seemed to
be a non-conformist and I liked that.
           “The rumor is that his parents are
placating him, waiting for him to get over his art hobby.  Supposedly that's
what they call it.  Apparently his father has wanted him to work for him since
he graduated from college, but Caleb loves art and refuses to have anything to
do with the world of finance."  Sophie seemed all too happy to spill the
beans about this guy.  "If you think you might be interested in him, don't
hold your breath.  He’s really picky and I swear he seems to have a different
model on his arm each week."
           Do I detect a hint of bitterness?
           Sophie walked away to go get a
refill in the kitchen.
           Rena looked at me.  “Don’t mind
her.  She’s still sulking because Caleb has turned her down, um, I think we’re
up to three times now.  She has had a thing for him ever since she found out
who he is and how much money his family has.”
           “I bet he gets that all the time,
gold diggers can smell money a mile away, and people with money can usually
tell if someone only wants them for their money.”
           “Oh really?  Speaking from
experience?”  Rena cocked her eyebrow at me curious to know more.
           The last thing I wanted to do was
appear to be different from everyone else, so I brushed off her question and
changed the subject.
           "Yeah right.  So you're in grad
school with Caleb?”
           “Yes.  We both have one more year to
go, my husband will be so happy when I am done with school and using my
advanced education to actually make money.”
           “Husband?  You’re kind of young to
be married, no?”
           She chuckled at my words.  “You’re
sweet.  No hun, I’m 27 and I’ve known my husband since we were in grade school.
We both moved here from Ohio a couple of years ago after we got married.  Caleb
is actually not too far behind me, I think he’s 26.    I didn’t do the whole go
right to grad shool after college thing, I worked for a few years after college
and then decided to go back to school.  I believe Caleb traveled for a few
years and then landed in grad school.  That’s the life, huh?  Jet setting
around the world without a
