of the way she acted last Friday."
Brenda? Callie looked at him. "You...you're still going out with her?"
"Yup." Feeling restless, Chris turned to his stomach and started doing push-ups.
Callie watched him, admiring his biceps but at the same time feeling a little panicky. For as long as she's known him, which is just a little over two months, he's never stayed with a girl for long. One week had always been the max and if she calculated correctly, Chris has been with Brenda going on over two weeks now.
Clearing her throat, she turned to her stomach and tried to follow his lead in doing push-ups but gave up quickly. She couldn't even hold her on weight. How embarrassing! Chris had seen what she tried to do and shook his head, a little amused grin playing across his lips.
"So..." Callie started as casually as she could without trying to seem too interested. "You're still with Brenda, huh?"
Chris sent her a funny look, turning on his back to do sit-ups. "Didn't I just say that?"
"Y-yeah but...it's kind of surprising. From my experience, you have a different girl every week."
Chris stopped midway in his sit up and frowned. "Huh, guess you're right. Guess Brenda is different." He continued his sit-ups.
Different? Damn, that didn't sound good.
"Different?"
"Brenda's...smart."
"And the other girls weren't? I thought one of the other girls you dated was a brain surgeon."
Chris dropped down on his back and looked at her. "Brenda's...cool."
"Cool? And the other girls weren't?"
Chris lifted a brow at her. "Why are you so curious about my relationship with Brenda all of a sudden?"
Callie kept her face blank, shrugging her shoulders as if it didn't matter. "I'm just surprised, that's all. She must be something if you're still with her. You. Mr. Casanova."
He chuckled. "Mr. Casanova? I like the sound of that. Anyway, Brenda wants to apologize and invited you and Susan to go out to play."
Callie looked at him with horror. "Not another date!"
Chris laughed at her expression. "No, just friends getting together."
"I don't wanna go."
"Come on, Cal, it's important to her. She feels really bad for yelling at you and since she knows that you're my best friend, she feels even worse. Give her a break and go."
Callie groaned. "Is it important to you that I go?"
Chris's brows furrowed. "Yeah...yeah I think it is. I want you and Brenda to get along. You're both important to me."
Callie groaned again, wishing that she hadn't even asked and that he hadn't answered. His words melted her heart. Sure she wasn't important to him in the same way Brenda was important to him but still...she felt special for being an important person in his life.
"Where will we be going?"
Chris grinned charmingly at her. "Golf World."
Callie's eyes widened. "The new amusement park?"
"Uh huh."
She eyed him suspiciously. "You suggested that place to her, didn't you? Just to mess with me." He had probably known that after this little jog around the golf course that she would never want to see a golf course again, even a fake one.
Chris wiggled his brows. "Maybe."
"Oh you!" She tried to lift her pudgy leg to kick him but he jumped up and dodged it with a laugh.
"Come on, buddy." Chris bent down and grabbed her hands. "Get up so we can continue."
Callie moaned and leaned back. "I don't wanna!"
"Stop being a baby." He pulled harder. "Get up."
"If I say I'll go to that stupid amusement park, will you get a golf cart and pick me up?"
"Cal!"
Sighing, Callie reluctantly let him help her up. "If I die here, I'm gonna haunt you, you know that right?"
"Yeah, yeah." Chris picked up the radio. "I'll tell Brenda you said yes."
"Hey!" Callie glared at him. "I haven't agreed to it yet."
"Then catch me if you don't wanna go." Chris crooked a finger at her, a teasing closed lip smile on his face.
"That's not fair!" Callie cried when he started running away. "Come back here!" She started jogging after him but of course in the end she didn't catch up to him
Brenda? Callie looked at him. "You...you're still going out with her?"
