Bye-Bye Jerk, Hello Mr. Right by Rosie Steppe

"Did you get a ticket for the game?" Jace asked, smoothly dodging whatever I'd been about to say.

"Not yet. Got any extras? I'll buy one off you," I shot back, not even trying to play coy.

Jace just laughed. "I have some, but they're not for sale."

He pulled out two tickets from his pocket. "These are reserved for me. Steve hooked me up a while ago."

My heart did a little flip. Steve hadn't exactly called to invite me, but he'd saved me tickets anyway. Maybe he was hoping I'd show up?

I took the tickets from Jace. "Mind if I grab one more?"

Jace paused, then finally pulled out another.

"You're like a walking ticket booth," I teased, slipping the extra ticket into my pocket.

He just smirked, brushing it off. Honestly, I had no clue what else to say to him.
