Chapter 33

Devil Damn Callie just took me by surprise and knocked me on my ass and went in for the attack like she did it every day. I know not to turn my back on her. She keeps surprising me with her abilities. She is so beautiful. How this Mason guy kept his hands off her for so long, I do not know.

“Are we ok? I really meant nothing by it and I will watch it from now on. Sore subject. I get it.” I knew when I said it, I would get a reaction, but I didn’t expect how she went off. I liked it. This is going to be a long night. She still hasn’t answered me.

“Ok, different subject. Have you thought about how you’re going to go to school from Oklahoma since you want to go to UT?” I give her somewhere else to put her thoughts for a while.

“I don’t know, everything has happened so fast. I mean forty -eight hours ago I had a completely different future. I guess I can either take a semester off or do online courses. Is there a campus anywhere near where we’ll be? I think a semester off may be the way to go. I have a few weeks before I need to decide. I will call Monday to see what I can find out.” Her mind has shifted and she isn’t all worked up now.

“I will pay for whatever you need. Money isn’t an issue. If I don’t have it, I will make it. Just let me know.” She’s getting that look in her eyes again. She’s going to go off again and I have to say I am really enjoying this.

“When I said you would be paying my way, I meant my living expenses. I have a college fund I have been saving since I was old enough to know what a college fund was. I will pay for my education. I told my dad and Mason the same thing. I am responsible for my own future and I will pay for it. I saved all my summer job money, birthdays, Christmas’, graduation, and all my racing purses. I will pay my own way through college. I may have to work, but I will do it. No arguing the point. I may lose my scholarships if they don’t transfer, but I will do it.” She has a determined look on her face and I know this is something she is set on. Most women I know would take my money and ask for more but not Callie. She is the stubbornest woman I think I have ever met, but for some reason I feel pride in her. She has overcome a lot and knows what she wants and wants to pay for it herself.

“Did dad tell you why he is taking extra precautions with me?” She’s digging for information but in this case Chief has told me nothing. Maybe he is discussing it with dad.

“Chief hasn’t shared anything with me, but I came straight up here.
