Chapter Ten

Cal

She changed, fixed her hair, and did something different to her face.

All for our date.

It puts an anxious tickle in my stomach. You know the type—the kind you get when you're excited about what's going to happen. That little flutter at knowing someone did something and it feels as if it's specifically for you.

"You look amazing,” I say.

Her cheeks pinken. "You're just saying that because I'm your baby mama."

At first I don't know if she's being serious or not, but then she winks and the tension leaves my body. "Are you ready?"

"I am." She gives me a once-over. "You're looking pretty good yourself. Are we gonna plan on not getting naked tonight? It'll be one of the first times since Halloween."

While I wish I could spend the entire time I have her for in bed with her, I know we have to start having conversations and getting to know each other on a totally different level than what we've done so far. "I think tonight we should keep the touching over clothes, and our conversation about our future tonight."

"You're right." She sighs. "But can you at least tell me where we're going?"

"You'll see."

There's another sigh, but this one is good-natured. Putting an arm around her waist, I direct her out of her office and toward the lobby. Once we pass the registration desk, Becca gives us a sly wink and wave. "Have fun, you two."

"What was that all about?" I mumble as we head out to the parking lot.

"Becca is a teenager and believes in all the butterflies of young love. She saw me waiting for her to come in and knew we were going out on a date, Charming Cal."

I snort loudly. "Oh my God, she told you about that?"

"I didn't know it was such a big secret. I mean, am I allowed to call you that?"

We arrive at my truck, and she turns around to look at me. In the dim glow of the light, she looks younger than her years. The blue of her eyes is darker than normal, and her lips are a deeper pink. Leaning down, I steal a quick kiss. "You can call me whatever you want, but I'm unsure what my fan club will think about it."

Her warm breath brushes against my face. "You have a fan club now? Who do I need to talk to so I can be a member?"

I tilt my head to the side, giving her a smile. "You'll probably need to talk to the president."

"Which is who? I feel like it should be me."

I wish it were. "Martha. She's a card-carrying member and the founder. She might be willing to give you a VP spot."

"Should I tell her I'm carrying the next Charming Cal?" she questions as she leans against the side of the truck.

“Wait? Do you already know what you’re having?” My mouth is as dry as the fucking desert.

"No." She shakes her head, giggling. "You're just easy to mess with. I'm only doing this because you won't tell me where it is we're going.
