her older sister any day of the week.
“Well, I was just wondering if everything was alright with
you. Your texts seemed kind of weird and you didn’t return my call so I got the
impression you were upset about something. Did I say or do something wrong?”
Cali’s mom made a loud throat-clearing noise from inside the
SUV, causing our attention to shift to her. Cali grabbed me by my elbow and pulled
me over to the driver’s side of the SUV so she could introduce us:
“Mom, this is Devlin Danes. Devlin, this is my mother Amari
Jamison.”
Amari Jamison… My father’s “complete liberal menace” in the
flesh. Great. Just fucking great…….as if
the cards weren’t already stacked against me with this girl………
“So nice to meet you Devlin. Cali has told me……. well ………virtually
nothing about you, actually.”
“The pleasure is all mine, Mrs. Jamison. I certainly hope we
can become better acquainted, soon, when you have more time.”
“Ms. Jamison. I go by Ms. Jamison. I’ve never been married…
But Amari is fine, too.”
“If you’ll excuse us for a minute mom, I need to discuss
something with Devlin. It won’t take long, I promise. I know you need to get
down to the shop in a hurry. I’ll be right back.”
“We really do need to get going honey, since Joyce isn’t
there to open up this morning.”
Cali grabbed me by the elbow again and pulled me out of what
she probably thought was her mom’s listening range. She cast her eyes downward
as she began to speak, like she was feeling guilty or hesitant about something. Definitely not a good sign……
“Devlin, I’m sorry. Yesterday just really caught me off guard
and made me examine a lot of things about myself, and about you. I’m still
having misgivings.… ….. I’m just not sure about… ….. ”
She sounded like she could possibly still be on the fence
about me, so I cut her off before any more of her words had a chance to spill
out into the air. I needed to do some quick convincing and plead my case one
more time.
“Look, I completely get it. And it’s okay Cali. We can take things slower if you want. What happened yesterday was a
bit fast and overwhelming. Let’s just kind of start over, alright? What we need
is some time to talk… We can do dinner… We can just be ourselves; not therapist
and patient. Take a chance on me tonight. Give me an opportunity to properly
woo you. What time will you be done at your mom’s today? How about if I pick
you up at 7 o’clock for dinner? Will that work for you?”
I could tell by the way her face muscles softened, that my
charming ways and persuasive tongue had won her over (again!). There was also a
strong possibility that the barking dogs and impatient mother waiting in the
car may have also pressured her speedy decision. Cali probably realized it
would be much quicker to just give in, than to argue about it. I absolutely thrived on women surrendering
to me!
“Yeah, okay ….maybe you’re right. I think
I can be ready by seven. How fancy do I need to dress for a date with Devlin
Danes?”
“We have an 8 o’clock dinner reservation at the Pacific Vista Terrace.. …….so I’d say pretty fancy.”
I quickly kissed her on the lips and pulled back.
“One thing, though…”
She looked at me expectantly.
“No panties.”
CHAPTER NINE
CALI
No panties?
I didn’t know what was worse… Devlin Danes asking me to a
panty-free dinner, or the way my body reacted when he said it.
The cocky bastard knew I’d go along with it. He’d already set
up the reservations! He was that sure of
himself! And that sure of me!! What nerve!
The drive over to Dogz R Us was a
quiet one. The fur-babies were comfortably sprawled out on the back seat and I
could tell my mom was purposely waiting for me to say something before offering
her opinion
