going to bring my stuff to stay over unless you have to be up
early.” Stephen did have to be up early, but he is so excited at
the prospect of Cali finally staying the night that he doesn’t
mind leaving her unsupervised in his crib. Like the Spartan she
is, Cali uses her mouth to establish the rules of the night, there
is no guessing or assuming.
While cooking, Cali doesn’t drop hints about how
cooking is what he should expect when they’re together or ask
dumb shit about if his ex-girlfriends have ever done this with
him. She’s not insecure, thus, insecure questions don’t slip
from her lips. After dinner, they position themselves on the
couch to watch TV, but the TV will be watching them. Cali
puts her feet in Stephen’s lap and begins the first wave of
contract negotiations…
“Do you think we would make a great couple? Wait,”
she holds a finger up for emphasis, “I said great, not good,
keep that in mind.” Stephen smiles, he knows Cali at this
point, she doesn’t do one-word answers, so “Yeah,” or “I think
so,” won’t fly. “I know we will, there’s nothing that I can see
that will point to us growing apart,” he says, and before Cali
can respond in her typical forward manner, Stephen keeps
going, “What do you think? Would we be great?” Cali loved
that Stephen said, “I know we will,” that sureness makes her
kitty tingle, but she can’t let him off the hook. Spartans don’t
answer questions that they asked first, ever, so she keeps him
in the hot seat. “It’s only been a month,” Cali reminds him,
“how do you know that this honeymoon period won’t wear off
the moment we have sex or the day after our first dumb
argument?” Stephen takes a second to think. Finally, he
speaks, “I know that I love you, and that doesn’t happen this
quick with a person like me. That’s enough for me to try my
best to make it work no matter what we go through.” Good
answer.
At this point, Cali won’t keep grilling him, no one wants
to be made out to be full of shit, so to keep asking “why this
why that” will sound as if Cali has trust issues. Instead, Cali
opens up to communicate her inner struggle so Stephen knows
she’s not a typical scared girl unsure who to love. “I’m not
afraid to love you, baby, and I know this could be something
