" Good evening my love," Michael said kissing her cheek," What are you doing?"
Callie looked at him.
" Working on my resume. There's not much to put on it. I've only had odd jobs."
" So what. You add what you've got."
" It's pathetic. I don't have anything. Who's going to care about the volunteer work I've done."
Michael sat down next to her.
" You'd be surprised. Look at me. I honestly thought nobody would give me a job. I was a convicted felon."
Callie looked at him.
" Michael, that isn't funny."
" I didn't say it was. Callie, you are a bright, honest, and caring person. You have to believe in yourself. What if you never came down to Panama?"
Callie wondered how their conversation went to her resume to Panama.
" I never would've found Sara. That's beside the point. I need to work on this."
" And?"
" What do you mean and? This is important to me. I have to pull my own weight around here."
Michael didn't want to hear anymore.
" I'm not telling you not to follow your dreams. Tell me more."
" About what? You know all you can about me. Are we back to the subject of Panama?"
Michael smiled.
" Okay. I never would've met you."
" And?"
" Michael, enough. I don't want to talk about it. Why do you want to bring that up?"
Michael got up.
" Fine. If you never came down there, I never would've gotten to know you."
Michael began to walk away when Callie stopped him.
" I wouldn't of fallen in love with you. Panama was the place I fell in love with you. I do appreciate all you do for me Michael."
Michael wrapped his arms around her.
" I'm going to take of you. I promise you. Tomorrow I'm going to help you with your resume."
Callie ended up hugging him.
" You know what else I love? I love it when we make love."
Michael grinned at her.
" Later. Right now, let's eat. I brought some food."
Callie nodded her head, realizing how hungry she was.
" Tomorrow I will help you with what you're doing."
" Deal. I need time to relax anyway. Figuring it all out is tedious."
Michael and Callie ate some dinner. Callie ended up sitting on the sofa with a notebook in her hands. Michael looked at her.
" Callie, what are you doing?"
" Writing all I need down. This isn't that long."
Michael grabbed the notebook from her hands and threw it on the floor.
" Give that back to me Michael."
Michael sat down next to her and immediately kissed her, which Callie got into. Michael then stopped and looked at her.
" When I get through with you, the only thing you'll be thinking about is sleep."
" Plus wondering where my life is going."
" Your life will be with me Callie. You know I also love it when we make love. I remember the first time we made love."
Callie ended up grinning.
" Callie?"
" You want to carry me to the bedroom?"
Michael did just that only to watch Callie fall asleep.
A few hours later, Callie woke up to see Michael was awake beside her.
" Hey sleepyhead," Michael told her.
Michael smiled when Callie looked at him. Callie then got up to change.
" Beautiful."
Callie shook her head, but continued what she was doing. Callie then put on her nightgown.
" You're teasing me. Making me watch you get naked, then put on the nightgown."
Callie went back up to him.
" So what do you want to do?"
" Stay undressed, so I wouldn't have to take it all off again myself."
Michael kissed Callie gently and rolled on top of her. Michael then stopped.
" I need to go out for a moment. I think we used up the last of the condoms the other night."
" Then maybe we make love too much, but I enjoy it."
Michael got up.
" I'll be right back. Don't you move, especially to go on that computer. I promise you, tomorrow I will help you with your resume."
Michael ended up leaving. Callie went out into the living to get the notebook she had.
" It's my life Michael. I have to get this done."
Callie did go back to working on her resume, but then she ended up falling asleep again. When Michael came home, he saw what Callie was doing.
" What am I going to do with you Callie? What are you doing to yourself. I'm going to do what I can to take care of you."
Callie woke up to look at him.
" Michael."
" You were working again. I asked you not to Callie. I told you I'm going to help you."
" You act like I can't do it myself."
Michael shook his head, he didn't want to fight with her.
" Don't put words into my mouth Callie. I know you can do it on your own."
Callie got up.
" I'm sorry Michael. I know you want to help me. I love you for that."
Michael wrapped his arms around her.
" I love you too Callie. Let this be for now. You don't need to do it now, do you?"
Callie smiled.
" I guess not. I just want to have it on hand. I want to be prepared."
" I'm not saying that you shouldn't worry, just relax for now. Let's enjoy the time we have now."
Callie nodded her head, at that moment, that's all she wanted.
