I’m not playing fucking games, Callie. This is serious. Where the fuck are you
Me
My interview. I just finished
I shiver at his instant reply.
Castle
I’m coming to get you. Stay where you are
I chew on my bottom lip thoughtfully. Itshouldannoy me how…I don’t know, demanding…he is? How gruff and maybe a little controlling he gets when he gives me orders like this. And itdoesannoy me, a little.
But.
It also lights a fire in me. It’s like I enjoy winding him up just to get a taste of that dominant vibe of his, like I’m a junky jonesing for a hit.
Me
It went great, by the way. Thanks for asking
Castle
I’m in the car. Drop me a pin of your location
I glare at the phone, more than a little pissed that he still hasn’t commented on the interview itself.
“Callie?”
I’m jolted out of my stormy thoughts when I hear my name. I look up, my brows arching when I see Stavros walking over to me with a small group of people, all of whom look like students.
I smile widely as I stand. “Hey! What’re you doing here?”
Stavros rolls his eyes. “Figured it was time for me to go back to school and actually finish my degree. So I’ve been taking a few classes here and there.” He frowns. “You?”
“I just had my interview for the MBA program.”
His brow arch. “Ohshit, seriously?” He beams at me. “Amazing! How’d it go?”
I can’t help but beam back. “Fantastic, actually. You know when you justknowyou nailed it? Yeah. That.”
“That’s great!”
Before I know what’s happening, Stavros is giving me a huge hug and then stepping back. He turns and gestures to the group of people with him.
“A bunch of us are going out for drinks. You gotta come with and celebrate!”
“Yeah!” One of the girls with him beams at me. “You totally should! We’re going to Heartbeat for 80’s night.”
I groan in frustration. Ilovethat club, and I fucking seriously love me a good retro 80’s night.
“And congrats on the interview!” the girl gushes. “That’s so fucking awesome!”
I allow myself a smug smile.
At least someone’s congratulating me.
Then I sigh. I’m already obviously in deeper-than-deep shit with Castle. Ignoring his last text and going off to a bar—especially with Stavros, of all people—is guaranteed to piss him the fuck off.
