and she wanted to dance with him. Jamie found Emily looking at a bright red dress.
    “ You should try it on,” Jamie said and she nodded. Slowly Emily turned around and her mouth dropped open.
    “ Oh my gosh! Please tell me that you are getting that dress.” She pointed at Jamie and shook her head. “You know, you make it hard to be your best friend when you look that good.”
    Jamie laughed . “Whatever. When you try on that smoking red dress you will look a hundred times better than me.”
    Emily arched a brown eyebrow at her, and shook her head. “I don’t believe that, but wait here while I try this on,” Emily said and waved the same woman over to help.
    Jamie turned to watch them walk back to the dressing rooms . About five minutes later Emily came out looking beautiful. Her long, dark-brown hair with red highlights, and hazel eyes looked great with the dress. The red would have washed Jamie out, but on Emily’s tanned skin it looks amazing. “Wow,” Jamie said, and Emily beamed at her.
    “ You think sdth>You tho?” Emily asked as she turned in a complete circle. Jamie nodded speechless and Emily jumped up and down. “We found our dresses!”
    Jamie and Emily walked back to change into their clothes and Jamie was done first . She handed her new credit card to the woman and smiled. The woman’s blue bracelet caught Jamie’s eye. She wondered how it would be to wait on someone else while the other person did nothing for themselves. The only Blue she’d ever really known was Cynthia and she wouldn’t put up with Jamie’s crap, she had to still clean up after herself. Emily’s maid won’t make her do anything because her parents wouldn’t put up with it. Without a second thought, Jamie added the royal blue mask for Henry to her purchase.
    Emily came out and they each picked out a pair of shoes to go with their new dresses. After shopping they went out for lunch.
    “ So Henry is a Blue, isn’t he,” Emily said.
    Jamie didn’t have a ny choice but to tell her best friend everything. She told her how she’d found out that Henry was a Blue, how she’d gone to the club to confront him, and how her father had shot up the club looking for her. Jamie told her how at the club she and Henry’d had their first kiss and how perfect he was.
    Emily sat in complete silence for what seemed like forever . “You have it bad for him don’t you?”
    Jamie laughed and nodded . She had it horribly bad for him and liked it. She wouldn’t want it any other way and knew it wouldn’t be an easy road for them to be together, but he was worth it. “I do, and I think he does too. And how he kisses me makes my bones turn to liquid,” she said with a smile. She paused and then said, “I need you to do something for me. I need you to go to a movie with Mike and take my phone with you. My dad will be tracking me and I need to be there, but not be there. Henry and I can’t be seen together at a movie.”
    Emily sighed , but held out her hand. “Give me your phone.”
    Jamie dug her phone out of her pocket and handed it to her best friend . “You are amazing, thank you.”
    Emily laughed and shook her head . “I know, but I get to sit in a dark movie theater with a hot guy, so I am amazing and selfish.”
    Jamie grinned . “That works for me.” The phone Henry had given her buzzed in her purse and she took it out. One new text message was waiting for her.
    Hey sweetheart, I’ m leaving your house now. I can’t wait to see you again. I’ll call you when we can meet up. I’ll be counting the seconds until then.
    Jamie felt a smile spread across her face.
    “ I take it that was his text message you were reading,” Emily said and Jamie looked up from the phone.
    “ What makes you think that?” Jamie asked, and kept the smile on her face.
    E a size="mily arched her eyebrows . “Your smile almost slit you face open and I have never seen you so happy before.”
    Jamie had never been this happy , not even with Ryan.
