Chapter Eleven

Let me set you up on another date," Chris said a two weeks after he first introduced Callie to his parents. He breezed into her apartment without bothering to wait for her to tell him to enter. Callie closed the door and stared at him, not at all surprised at his sudden announcement.

"Like I've told you last week and the week before that...NO."

Chris turned and frowned at her. "Why not?"

Callie sighed. "In case you didn't notice, Chris, me," she pointed to herself, "plus dates," she drew a plus sign in the air, "equals," she drew and equal sign, "disaster." She pretended to choke herself, rolling her eyes back and hanging her tongue on the side of her mouth.

Chris rolled his eyes at her dramatics. "Very funny."

Callie threw up her hands. "I'm serious! No more dates, Chris."

"And why not? Haven't we been working on your insecurity issues as well as your weight these past weeks? Your confidence has grown, I can tell and I think it's time to test it out."

"My confidence has improved," she agreed, "but not my bad luck."

"Cal-"

"Chris," she cut him off, completely exasperated by him. "Why are you so set on fixing me on blind dates? What's all this really about? If you're tired of my company, just tell me and I'll...I'll find something else to do then take up all your time."

He had no idea how much it hurt her to say that. The time she's been spending with him were the best moments in her life. Staying away from him for a day would cost her a lot but if he no longer wished to be around her...

"It's not that," Chris scoffed.

"Then what is it? Why the blind dates?"

"I just want you to have more confidence in yourself."

"Is that all, Chris? Really?" She didn't believe him. For a long time now Chris has been acting strange, as if being around her was starting to bother him. She hadn't said anything about his behavior in fear that she was right but now that it was all out in the open, she might as well find out what was wrong with him.

"Why do you sound like that?" Chris glared at her. "Like you're accusing me of something."

"It's...it's because I'm worried," she whispered. "Lately, you've been...distant."

"No I haven't," he denied automatically. "I've been hanging around you like I've always have, haven't I?"

"Yeah," she nodded, "but...whenever you're around lately, it feels so strained. Is there something on your mind? Something you wanna get off your chest?" She took a step closer to him, concern etched on her face. "Is there something you want to tell me?"

Could it be that Chris knew that she wasn't a guy? That she was really a girl? No, Callie thought, that couldn't be it. He would have busted her by now so he was probably still clueless but then what was wrong with him? Why was he acting so strangely around her?

"Chris?" she inquired, gazing up at him with imploring eyes, eyes that begged him to tell her what was really on his mind.
