Chapter Nine

Callie

It’s been a week since my date with Nick and I had a blast. It was nice to finally let loose and really spend some quality time with him. I think Anna giving me her support to move forward if I wanted, helped too. It helped me not to be so serious.

Now, I’m back at home in Andrews getting ready for my five-hour drive back to Dallas. This time I’m taking more of my things with me. I want to start transitioning into a more permanent living situation there and have a few extra outfits in the closet for date nights. So, the extra clothing and little things are coming along as well.

I grab my duffel bag from under the bed and stuff it full of the handful of shirts, pants, and dresses that I’ve had in my closet for ages. My laptop goes in first for safety, followed by other small items like my jewelry, makeup brushes, toiletries, and a couple of books to keep me occupied if I have any free time. Although, I’ve been keeping so busy that I haven’t had much free time while I’m in Dallas.

Once the bag is zipped up tight, I grab a few last things before heading out—even a light jacket for when the next torrential downpour comes through Dallas. I was lucky that I wasn’t caught out in it last time and was in the safety of my car. Lastly, I grab a notebook filled with ideas jotted down from when inspiration strikes. I take one final look around the room to make sure all essentials are packed away before throwing the now-heavy duffel bag over my shoulder.

My heart races as excitement takes over; it looks like things between Nick and me are getting very serious. We’re actually taking steps now instead of ignoring the attraction we both have. Granted, he wasn’t the one pulling away before. That was me, but I swear it was for good reason. I’ve been hurt so many times by men, and if Nick was just trying to get me to go to the next level with him that wasn’t going to happen. It took me a little while to believe his feelings were authentic.

I know I had walls up before, but I’m genuinely open to things now. Whatever happens next is uncertain, so there’s a little bit of fear sprinkled into that joy. I’m the kind of woman who likes having plans. I want a plan A, plan B, and even plan C. But, with relationships, you can’t make plans. You never know what’s going to happen and you have to roll with every single punch.

That’s the part that’s scary to me. At some point soon we’ll have to decide what our relationship really is. Right now there’s no need to make that sort of decision. We’re just going out on dates, enjoying one another’s company, and not forcing anything too serious. I’m doing such a good job not thinking about all the stress
