"What are you talking about? Who begged you not to?"
"It was…" She sighs again. "Oh my gosh. I hope I didn't mess up. I'm really sorry, but..."
"What's going on? You're confusing me."
"Kingston called me last night and..."
"What?"
"He asked me if I could tell him where I was meeting you today because he really wanted to see you and he really wanted to tell you something. And he begged me to let him see you today instead of me and said he'll set it up with you so we can rearrange the makeover for next week. I'm so sorry. I?—"
"I cannot believe he did that. What the..."
I pause as I realize that I feel a presence next to me. I look up and see Kingston's blue eyes staring down at me. He has a solemn look on his face.
"Hey, Juniper, I'm not mad at you. Kingston just arrived. I'll talk to you later, okay?"
"Okay. Good luck."
"Thanks, girl," I say, and hang up.
"How dare you?" I immediately say, pushing my finger into Kingston's chest. "How dare you cancel my plans because..."
"Because what?" he says, giving me a kiss on the cheek.
"What are you doing?"
"Saying hello. You look pretty," he says, looking me up and down. "Really beautiful."
"Um, okay. That doesn't excuse the fact that you went and changed my plans when I didn't say it was okay. You asked me yesterday if I would see you and change my plans and I said no, and you went behind my back and?—"
"Because I've been a fool, Skye."
"Sorry. What?"
"I've been a fool," he says slowly.
"Okay, and this is new to you?"
He chuckles slightly. "Are you saying you consider me a fool?"
"I'm saying that you might not be as smart as you think."
"Really?"
"Yes, really." I glare at him.
"You may be right. I want to take you somewhere."
"Where are you taking me?"
"Somewhere special."
"Um, I don't really know what that means and I don't really think that I want to go anywhere with you right now. If I'm not going to be giving Juniper a makeover, I think I'm just going to go home and watch TV and?—"
"And nothing," he says. "Please, just give me five minutes."
"I don't want to give you anything," I say, my heart pounding.
