CALLIE RUE MCCOY.
Rachel: None of the amazing things that have happened to me in the last ten years, would have happened if it wasn’t for you. No-one has been more like a sister to me.
Monica: I know what you mean. You’re like a sister to me too.
📱GAVIN: [ he leans back in his chair, comfortably reclining with a smile on his face as he just listens to her talk. the most pleasant sound in the world according to gavin ] You don't have to share me, you know I'm all yours but they're all asking about you anyway. So I'm missin' you but gettin' to talk about you so it's not too bad. Next time you don't work in the mornin' you gotta come hang out, they're already referring to you as my better half. [ he chuckles, liking the sound of it because they're not wrong ] Ahh c'mon, ya make it real damn hard to be away and workin' when ya say things like that though. Don't force me to wake you up for some lovin' when I get home. [ gavin sighs, longing for her and wanting to touch her and kiss her ] Did ya tell 'em I said goodnight and all that? Maybe I'll stay up or get up with you guys in the mornin' so I can see 'em for a bit. I need to hire a new manager so I can have more nights off again. [ his heart aches but he smiles that the kids were looking for him. he smiles even wider hearing about their activities. ] Stop teasing me woman. I WILL shut this place down early.... [ he laughs ] Well, I haven't decided where yet. I just wanted to check if you and the kids could get away for the weekend. If not this one, then next.
📱CALLIE: [ his words always fill her heart as gavin knows the right thing to say to her every time. her smile happens to be miles long, momentarily glancing at the empty space in her bed ] I know but I like you reminding me. Promise them I'll be there soon, okay? I can't have them forgetting about me. Same, it's not too bad and you'll soon be back so it all works out. I'm free Wednesday, I'll just come in with you. As your better half? Well, they're not wrong there, baby. [ she laughs, glad everyone sees how perfect both of gavin and callie worked fit together ] Y'know I say it because I love your reactions and teasing you, handsome. I love my power over you. Oh, do wake me up... I was hopin' you would because I'll never say no to some lovin' from Gav himself. [ who needed sleep? not callie, seeing it was the least of her worries as she needed his touch and him beside to soothe her soul ] Of course, gave them kisses from you as well.. it made them happy. I told 'em to sleep so tomorrow, they can see you. Are you sure? I don't want to keep you up esp if you need to be back at the club later. You need your sleep too. But, you do... you deserve to relax as well. [ she hopes they can find a solution soon because she missed him so much. same with the kids. though, through the phone, she can hear his smile widen causing the same effect on hers ] Maayybe... that's my intention... [ she giggles ] Of course we can. You know, we never have anywhere else to be and we just hope to spend it all with you. Maybe I can lend you a helping hand with finding a place.

"Okay, you heard it hear first or maybe not, but first time from me.... this is some of best damn coffee ever,” the blonde mumbled with her lips near the rim, indulging herself on yet another much needed sip. Coffee was the way to her heart. Yet, most importantly, it’s what kept her moving through the day as sleep became a rarity for Callie nowadays. It felt like she was constantly on the move. From work, to her kids and time with Gavin, she fell asleep to only wake up a few hours later. Still, the desperate need for coffee to get her through the day ahead, also meant she had was able to catch up with Jasmine, someone who became a new friend in the past couple of weeks as she wandered into the bakery out of the blue one afternoon. “Best mornings ever.” Genuine words soothed through, for once since getting her coffee, the blonde set her cup down on the counter, hues gazing over the mouth watering pastry options. “I can’t get over how you all do this. I know the bare minimum with cookies and cupcakes but.... this....” she leaned down, carefully reading the sign, “Vanilla Bean Cake with Strawberry-Basil Icing and Ganache Drips.. I’m sorry, just makes me want to bring it home and eat it by myself.” Which she wouldn’t be greedy in that sense, someone who could’ve used it more than her but the thought and the words made her chuckle after, standing up from her crouched position. “You and my best friend, Caleigh, who is also a baker... are going to make me fat with all of this sweet glory.”

[Text]: Babe, I’m so glad I got to see you at the bonfire. I mean I know we’ve had our movie night since but it was really good to see you and Gavin together. I approve, he seems to make you so happy and I’m SO HAPPY that you’re getting this wonderful love you deserve. Just don’t forget about me, the life partner that loves you more than anything ❤️ I’m about to leave the bakery and am bringing some treats for you and the kids. Love you!
The declaration of her heart floored Gavin and he sat there blinking, staring at the blonde beauty for a few moments unable to form words. It had been some years since he’d gotten close enough to a woman for them to be uttering three special words that could turn even the hardest man inside out. He really had no clue what he had done to deserve someone so special, and for her to give her love to him so freely and without abandon. And despite the adoring affections that played up to the very moment they found themselves in, despite the tease and leading, Gavin still somehow felt like the wind had been knocked out of him. “I love you too,” he returned and looked her steadily in the eyes as he did so. The former champion wanted to be sure she knew just how firmly he meant those words and that there was no saying it back just for the payback of her saying it. This wasn’t an appeasement, no, it was a man on the start of a new lease on life and a man that couldn’t been more fortunate to have such a beautiful soul at his side and within his chest as they embarked on whatever journey this relationship lead them on. He loved Callie, he was sure he fell in love with her that day they went to the Copper Penny after their group meeting. Lust, love, and infatuation could sometimes all appear and feel the same, so Gavin took his time to be sure of his courtship with Callie. They’d gone from spending time and getting to know one another to an official date at a fancy gala. That night was the first time he experienced the bliss of being inside of her and thus only further cemented their connect. It hadn’t just been sex, or a carnal night of tangled limbs — he awoke the next morning with the glow of having spent the night making love to a woman he couldn’t quench his thirst for. Christmas came, she received a repeat of time with his family like she’d had on the previous holiday, Thanksgiving, only her children had been involved and seamlessly their worlds just melded together like puzzle pieces. His family loved her, they loved her children, and Gavin whisked Callie away for New Years. He couldn’t stop wanting to spoil her, and he recently discovered the reasoning for it other than to show his adoration and affection — she was spoiling him with all that he thought he’d never be worthy of.
Now, they sat staring into each other’s during a fancy dinner for his birthday, confessing their love for each other. “I know it’s cheesy as fuck,” he mumbled against her lips as he leaned closer and captured them in a loving embrace with his own, “but you’re the best thing that’s ever happened to me, Callie.” Moving his hand to take her fingers off his beating heart, Gavin laced their fingers together and pressed kisses to her delicate knuckles. “Thank you for this birthday dinner. But I want the ultimate gift, Callie baby. Will you be my girlfriend?” It sounded and felt a little high school, but making it solid and official with no possible ways of confusion was the most important thing to the former sports car driver. She was claimed, he was claimed, and he longed to say the word girlfriend in reference of Callie. “I know all of the things you come with. I know your past, I know your current struggles and family, and I want it all ok. Don’t ever for one second doubt how much you are loved and wanted by me — every little bit of you. Including your beautiful children.” The club owner took a breath, he felt nearly light headed, out of happiness but there was also an intensity to their coming together as a couple, to affirming that they were choosing each other. And the reason being was that Gavin hadn’t been this serious about anything in his life, even his dream and passion fell into place behind Callie. “Now,” he whispered against her lips, “I’m gonna take that sweet ass of yours home. I can’t stop thinkin’ of you sitting here beside me, bare under that dress, any longer.”

He loved her. He really did fucking love her back. As she patiently awaited to hear those words, all in a hopeful return, everything changed when she heard them back. Oceanic hues glowed like a disco ball intently admiring the man whom she loves as he returned the words. All of her attempting to withhold a child like squeal darting off the tip of her tongue, possibly causing a scene of heads turning their focusing onto the intimate couple, who only shared a few brief moments without their lips poetically against their rightful owners as the love blossomed through their action of their petals, synching of heartbeats, loving glaze of their hues and the sight of her brightened red stained lipstick Gavin was attractively wearing. A reminder to anyone who dared to look their way as they realized, his lips - the man in general simply belonged to her and there was no letting go. “Let’s be the cheesiest couple ever. I don’t care. Just as long as I get to be with you always, baby,” she whispered passionately. His next string of words made her heart almost leap on the table, her loving gaze only growing stronger as he was the only view in this entire restaurant, not even caring about the other bodies amongst them or even their waiter. For not being much of a crier, in the moment, all of the happiness bringing them to an official couple status together, tears of joy were forming in her tear ducts, awaiting any moment to escacade down her delicate complexion, as the loved laced, oceanic hues, swooned and beamed in excitement. Immediately, she squealed as the blonde didn’t care anymore for those near them reaction. Her petals finding the wonderland of his own, allowing the passion and her answer to convey through her action. “Baby, if you didn’t know my answer, it’s a million times yes,” her lips hovering over his after the much needed hunger of being near his lips sent shockwaves through her system. Lips planting cheeks from the corner of his cheek right to his earlobe where her lips hovered and breathed heavily to tease him, “Boyfriend. I love the sound of that. Hi boyfriend.” My boyfriend, Gavin. Oh, do you know my boyfriend, Gavin? Oh, how flawless it sounded and how she was going to use it every and any given moment. Where their two souls intertwined into one. Their hearts adjoined. Their souls becoming each others homes. The blonde wanted the whole damn thing with him. For a woman who never believed in her worth or being able to fall in love, he proved her worthy of it all. He was the missing puzzle piece in her life. Everything fit perfectly since Gavin took his rightful ownership of her heart.
“Gavin,” his words engulfed her heart, as he knew the right words to say as it was a promise was being shared between both of them. A promise to love through the thick and thins. “I love you. I love you for loving the life I had and all that comes with me. I love you for loving me now and what is yet to come. I never thought I’d ever meet a man like you in my entire life. I thought this shit only happened in fairytales. But, then you... you sat across from me in our support group, mystery hunk staring at me, I won’t lie, and my soul right there and then decided it was going to be yours. You made my heart flip. You make me feel worth it every single damn day. And, God, I’m so glad you.. want it all with me and my kids. I know I belong to you,” she paused, beaming, “I will stand by you each and every single day. I’ll support you. I’ll never give up on you. I know I want my future with you. You’re stuck with me. Through whatever happens, I’m not going anywhere without you. There will never be a me without you. It will always be us. We’ll get through it together. You are my home.” Words, nor sappiness hadn’t always been her forté growing up but the way her heart and soul was madly in love, it all needed to be shared amongst this heavenly moment of this new couple. Surely, he would understand it was needed information but he deserved it hear it. Especially after those words he shared and enlightened her heart further. Within moments later, as his sultry tone filled her ears, the compliment of her ass tagged in the mixture, a smirk arose on her petals and a chuckle fell. “Thank God, I was getting soaked down there and no one was able to clean it up,” she sighed happily to return back to his home, purring as hue flickered over his features. “You better make it hard for me to walk tomorrow, handsome.”
THE END OF THE DINNER DATE. LEGGO FOR THE FUN, KIDDOS.
The pressing of his body matched heavenly with the pull of hers, as the desperation was clear from both of their souls and roaming hands searched hungrily for each other in the such frustration due to the sheer fabrics on their body. How they managed to endure an innocent car ride back baffled her. Part of her figured one of them would’ve caved within the short drive but nothing. The tightness of her pinched legs and her squirms in the leather seat beside him, as her ocean hues gaze took him in at moments, seeing the twitch of his hands on the steer wheel, withholding themselves, as the warmth and the drench grew further between her legs. Yet, it didn’t matter as their eagerness clearly showed from the way they made it pass the threshold with ease and were safe in sound in the four walls, without worrying of a single soul interrupting their evening full of fun, further exploration, love making would be explored for the first time as a official couple. A gasp slipped off the tip of her tongue as her back thudded against the wall, smirking toward him as his dominant overtook and she loved the sight of him. If anything, his dominant side brought out her own, as they always worked in trying to one up each other. “Fuck, I’ll never get enough of you saying this to me,” erotically tone horased through, not a single side of innocence rested on this woman, taking in his husky breath against the hungry petals of her own. The movements of her lover with the remaining piece of her only piece of confiding fabric soon, how quick and sharp each of the movements caused her breathing to speed up. The sensation only increased by the dip of his digits in the saturated bundle of her nerves, a slight arch of her back as his needed touch instantly soothed her. The warmth and drench she had been carrying throughout their dinner, giving him the proper treat of dessert, her, and reminder that he was the only man capable of such reaction.
Callie allowed him to assert his dominance after she asked him to play nice until they were home. Yet, she wasn’t the type to allow him to do all of the work. Never. She was just as hungry and eager for him. To soothe him, to blow his mind and him. More of treats for the birthday boy. Every inch of her body giving him the access over her body to mark her, let everyone know she rightfully belonged to another, just as the blonde was going to hungrily mark him and make him never forget, to never worry about another woman having to enter into his life. She was here to stay. When he murmured the confirmation of who she belonged to, the fervor and passion enlightened through the passion of a kiss, a moan growing through her throat and in a mumble, it escaping throughout the kiss as her body started to tremble in his touch. “You’re fuckin mine,” she breathed heavily, groan slipping half a moment later, as frustration had never been this surreal due to the confiding fabric he was graced with. Ocean hues flickering over him hungry, her center further growing wet for his digits, slowly tightening around him. Arching her hips toward his hardened member, to feel and to know this pleasure and hardened reaction was all in her doing, a smirk coated her swollen, lack of their harmonizing petals against each other. Instant in ripping his blouse, careless to whether or not it was his favorite, it didn’t phase her because she needed him in the same terms he had her in the moment - bare. “You’ll never have to worry about needing anyone else. No fuckin’ way. I’m yours for life,” she reminded him immensely with a lick of sensual tone slipping through, before her lips hungrily fueled the fire through another passion kiss against his own. Her free leg wrapped around his waist, instantly pulling him closer as if there was any free space between both of their bodies. Soon, her lips started trailing up his jawline toward his earlobe, her teeth grasping onto the flesh only to nibble onto it momentarily. Her hand resting on the buckle of his pants, gripping them in her fraile digits. “I can’t have you doing all of the work... then again, I never allow you do so... but the birthday boy deserves to have his damn world blown.”

Callie would be lying to herself in denying as anxious worries grew significantly as today was the day where Calvin was going to proper meet his niece and nephew in the healthier circumstances. It was happening. It was bound to happen. Yet, as she paced around in her little corner of the world, peeking toward the clock as his time of arrival was soon to be here. Both Sabrina and Carter were dressed to impress, as if their array of animations roaring through the house immediately showed both of them were radiating joy. Callie still felt the need to make everything exemplary. Every now and then, her phone would light up, feeling a wave of panic rising in her stomach as she hoped and prayed he wasn’t going to back out of today’s exchange. Instead, the blonde was greeted with text messages from her boyfriend, who heard it all in the prior evening over her anxious thoughts and worries, as his texts always illuminated her day because it was Gavin, the man who stole her heart unlike any man before, as he just knew the right words to say to her as he eased her worries.
Any moment now, she muttered to herself, gazing over her shoulder to see the ray of sunshine’s absorbed in the world of their heaps of toys gifted to them with people just knowing them for short time. The sight of their innocence, squeals in elation and their beautiful souls always made her mouth twinkle. Though, as the sound of the doorbell in the background instantly caused her to snap out of her loving daze for her kids, she hurried the short distance to the door, anxious as ever. Opening the door, the sight of her younger brother standing in front of her, whereas other times, Callie was constantly on the opposite side of the door. The terms of their relationship had been grown significantly but there were still some things left in the air between them. “Hey Calvin,” the blonde welcomed, hesitantly as her hand held onto the frame of the door. Unaware of he would accept a hug or not, she figured to try once he was inside from the frigid cold resting over Wilmington. “Come on in. I’m glad you still wanted this to happen.” Shutting the door behind him right after, slowly approaching him as her hand rested lightly on his shoulder, initiating an embrace between both of the siblings, giving him a tight squeeze as it only lasted momentarily. Once the space graced them once again, her hands collapsed with each other as a sigh slipped off her tongue, “Are you ready to properly meet your niece and nephew... because they’re just in the family room playing with their toys and I know they’re ready for you.”
Zak simply shrugged, a soft smile lingering upon his features. “Yeah, they did.” He responded, clearly quite proud on that fact alone. “So, at the end of the day, it was worth it.” It would always be worth it to see his sisters happy. They were good girls, they deserved good things. It was as simple as that. “She’s got a certain charm about her.” He mused, not at all ashamed to come off the way he did when his grandmother was involved. He respected her, she was to be always respected. It was simply just how she presented herself, she took no shit, and that was that. “9:30. She had some catering thing to attend, I told them to pick the stuff up, and put it away. But they’re exhausted, so I’m sure everything is still where I left it.” The hint of humor upon his features faded slightly as she wished them well with their father. Tightening his lips into a smile, he gave a small nod, his features remained sweet. “Thanks.” He rose his brows in curiosity as she mentioned that she was also in New York, a nod following. “Still sounds like it was a pretty good time in the big apple though.” He commented, “Happiness is a state of mind. Keep positive, right? But I definitely like that goal.” He shrugged, “Same, really. Happiness, success, – to keep moving forward. You know, that whole Hallmark answer.”
Amidst the moment, the way her mouth corners rose at the string of his words and how his trip with his nieces turned out, all she could do was nod happily for the male. One day, she’ll take her kids to New Year and they’ll be able to enjoy themselves like the other’s story. It was a brand but anything to make them happy - it’s all they deserve and more. “Certain charm about her, huh? Come on, you gotta let me in a little. Does she live in town? Maybe I ran into her once or twice before..” she informed, not even attempting to allow her mind to draft to the swarming sea of people Callie met on a daily basis. “Oh, well, that’s understandable if they were tried. Even if it does mean... you’re going to have to hear about it but memories that last, you know, that type of Walt Disney type of quote bullshit.” Only imagining that Walt Disney, himself, would’ve said such thing, hence why she included it into the narrative at the moment. The response to her next words caused a tamed brow to raise, carefully studying the man but nodding and dropping that part of the conversation. She knew where to bite the bullet. “It was. My boyfriend, Gavin, not sure if you know him, he owns The Hideaway, well, he took me on an impromptu trip there. One day for New Years, nothing too crazy but it was everything.” She beamed brightly, mind temporarily wandering to their evening together and the luxury he always brought with each of their moments together. “Definitely the Hallmark answer. Don’t worry, this sappy response will stay between us,” she commented with amusement. “But, thanks. Figured to make a realistic one. Those are almost always achievable.”
With all the business surrounding what the hell Cass was going to do with the barn (eventually decided on knocking out the insides and replacing that as well as the roof, half a renovation and half a replacement job while keeping as much of the original wood as they could), another important issue had fallen to the wayside. The question of who the hell had been irresponsible or cruel enough to cause this incident to happen, and that was what he’d been texting Callie about. She’d been one of the first to reach out when finding out about the holiday blaze, and they’d been in brief contact since then. Hearing about her happy holidays with Gavin and her small brood had brought many easy smiles to his face.
He loves Callie, really he does, but sometimes he’s not quite sure what to say. She gives him so many options for responses he doesn’t know what to pick. Running a hand over his exposed forearms Cass waits until she’s done and replies with a simple “I’m glad you were able to use the time off to enjoy yourself. And that you’ve recovered from your binge session with all cylinders firing.” The turn of her gaze causes Cass’s own to look out his broad window, displaying the charred building they were speaking about, and he grimaces. Each time he looks at it it’s like a stab to the soul. “I like that idea. The firefighters said their best guess of ignition was a cigarette or a lighter, so after we find out who’s working, we can go through who smokes on that list.” Scooting his chair forward at his desk, Cass pulls up clock in/clock out records on his work desktop, scrolling to the right date as his eyes scan the screen.
As the holidays were utter perfection, surely one she could never forget especially with the gift of her children to be in the picture and being able to meet her-now boyfriends family felt like a dream come true for the woman, who was born and raised in a trailer park in the outskirts of Raleigh. If Callie could, she would’ve stayed in the bliss of the holidays but realistically, this wasn’t how the universe worked. It was time to get back to the reality. One that struck on Christmas Eve and remained on her mind, but she knew how much much the ranch was home to her and everyone welcomed her with open arms, lending Cass any helping hand was brought up in their exchange of messages. She still hoped he was able to enjoy himself over the holidays, even with what was happening back home. She’d ask him eventually, once they were able to get some facts or at least narrow it down to a few patrons who could’ve done it.
Rambling didn’t show up in Callie often. Yet, it somehow did because well, realistically, the digging which could happen in moments made her nervous. Someone who they both could’ve trusted may have betrayed them all. It was a sickening thought. Hence, cue the influx of pointless things as she apologetically smiled toward him, for the flow of words. She was glad for the male allowing her to work her and the growth of their friendship. He was one of her closest, even if they didn’t have enough time to hang outside of work. “Thank you. Trust me, I’m going to ask you all about your holidays because I want to hear it all and how everything went but for now, cracking this case down and figuring it all out,” she swayed naturally into the main focus, a stern look on her features as the sight outside of the window made a shiver slither down her spine. “Great, that’s the easiest to help us narrow it down. Let’s just hope it was all accidental in the matter and we can all work this out.” Hues squinted at the screen, being the second eyes to scan the sheets. “Wait,” she spoke up, carefully looking at the screen. “Look at that timestamp. Please tell me I am seeing that correctly or what.” The last thing she needed was her eyes to play with her. It was blinding her. “What time was everyone supposed to be off the clock on Christmas Eve again?”

I think I’m coming down with something, so I’m googling ways to beat a speedy cold without medicine because heaven knows if I got the kids or Gavin sick, Mommy Callie is going to be on full speed bouncing between them all and taking care of them. But, random, figured you should know why I’m awake.

Working in your future bakery right beside you and both of you being the dynamic duo together blessing Wilmington with delicious treats. And, it made me smile because your biggest supporter is rooting for you always because she looks up to you so damn much.

imessage to → My Best Friend 💞 : I talked about her today.... you know, my mom.... to my support group. I never thought I’d say this but I hope that bitch rots in hell for everything she did to Calvin and I.
☠ for a threatening message:
imessage to → My Best Friend 💞 : Istg... Caleigh, I am getting fat... Listen, woman I love you but the next time you bring treats over to my place, you’re leaving that shit outside or something, maybe force Gavin to eat it and make him fat, he’d probably still look really fuckin’ attractive if he ever got a dad bod but I won’t let you in because you are spoiling me damn rotten and it’s getting to me... but how the fuck do you do it every single day..... I don’t even know...
❤ for a lusty/loving/affectionate message:
imessage to → My Best Friend 💞 : Beautiful angel, how the hell did we go all of this time without each other up until the Bonfire and our movie night? I’m never allowing us to go this long without each other ever again. How’s Thursday for another movie night? The boyfriend will just have to understand. It makes me the happiest to know you approve of him, of us together, because there’s no one else I want to ever see myself with. Your opinion matters the most to me since you have right beside me through everything and more. Beauty, I will never forget about you. ❤️ You are my first ever major relationship and you will always be, no one will ever replace you. You’re my best friend through and through. As if I could ever let you go, my heart would break. We’re waiting for you... the kids are ready to bombard you with all of the hugs and kisses. Love you lots!
