Cali stiffened but relaxed when he followed with, “I’m joking, Cali. I meant what I said. This can be whatever you want. No expectations. No pressure, love. All I want is your time whenever you bless me enough to offer it.”
“You’re too confident about this.”
“This as in?”
“Whatever we’re doing. No expectations or pressure?”
“I’ve learned to let things be what they are. It works out best for all parties involved.”
“So you have absolutely no expectations when it comes to me?”
“I have some but I’m guessing they’re no different than the ones you have.”
Her eyes narrowed just a little.
“And what do you think my expectations are, War?”
“Keep shit one hundred and everything else will work itself out.”
“I can do that.”
“So can I. You wanna tell me where you’re going?”
“Why, is there somewhere you want me to be?”
“Hell yeah, with me if you’re willing.”
“Depends? What did you have in mind?”
“You eat today?”
“Not really.”
“Then let me feed you. Come meet me for lunch. We can play the rest of the day by ear.”
“Meet you where?”
“Let me work that out. I need to call and check on something, but I’ll shoot you an address. Can you give me half an hour?”
“Hmmm, I don’t know. “
He chuckled.
“I promise it will be worth the wait.”
“There’s that confidence again.”
“I’m a confident man, love. Won’t pretend I’m not. It’s just a part of me you’ll have to accept and get used to. Now can I get that or not?”
Cali glanced at the bookstore and the street she was on. It was early in the day, crowded, and she felt safe. She didn’t mind sitting there to read a few more chapters while she waited for War to map out plans for them.
“I guess I can manage to keep busy for a half an hour.”
“I’ll send you the address as soon as I lock it down. If I can’t get this to work in my favor I’ll switch things around. But either way, you’ll hear from me.”
“Should I bring anything?”
“Just yourself. I got the rest covered.”
