Lynx: A Callie Torres Story

14

Callie led a drunk Jada inside and helped her sit down on the couch. Jada immediately began tugging at her belt buckle. "Hey, no sex right now. Not until you've sobered up."

She sat down beside Jada. "Eat some of this pretzel," she instructed. "And you'll feel a lot better soon."

While Jada ate the pretzel, Callie went into the kitchen and grabbed a water bottle to keep her hydrated. The pretzel was gone by the time Callie came back. She put the bottle between two fingers and reached down to pick up Jada. She carried her upstairs and to their bedroom where she set Jada against the pillow in a sitting position.

It was nearing three in the morning and Callie yawned as she walked into her closet to change. She hung the leather jacket and belt back up and threw her remaining clothes in the bin to be washed. She found a t-shirt, underwear, and pajama pants and quickly changed into them. For Jada she grabbed almost the same thing except for a long sleeve shirt and sweatpants. Jada was the one who was always cold while they slept. And Callie knew how much she loved to wear her clothes.

Jada looked a lot better when she returned. "How are you feeling?"

"A lot better. I just have a little headache and that's all."

Callie handed her the clothes. "It's gonna be cold tonight and I know you like my clothes."

Jada smiled and held her arms up. "Please?"

Callie smiled back before starting to undress her. She did it quickly, for Jada was the one to be cold all the time. She finished up by tying the strings on the sweatpants so they would fit Jada better. She helped Jada under the covers before coming around the other side and laying down herself.

"Thank you for tonight Calliope," Jada said. "I had a lot of fun."

"I did too."

"Did everyone get home alright?" she asked.

Callie nodded in reassurance. "They wanted to take an Uber or Lyft but with how gone they were, I thought it would be better if we dropped them off. You were asleep the whole ride home but we dropped them off at Rachel's place."

Jada moved over to hug her girlfriend. "Thank you Calliope. For taking care of them and me."

She nestled herself into Callie's shoulder. "It's my turn next to take care of you when we go out with your friends."

"You don't have to stress over it," Callie replied quietly. "I have a lot better tolerance than you."

Jada raised an eyebrow and her face suddenly went white. "I don't think we paid the tab!"

"I took care of it sweetheart, don't worry."

"I'm going to pay you back for it,"

Callie shook her head. "You don't owe me anything."

"I feel bad though!"

"Don't worry I was not letting you four get arrested for not paying the bill."

"I owe you one," Jada said before asking. "Did I do or say anything dumb or stupid?"
