Lynx: A Callie Torres Story

38

Jada had taken her content creation to a whole new level. On top of her graphic design jobs, she was an affiliated video game streamer on the Amazon owned platform Twitch. Jada loved playing video games, especially Apex Legends and loved playing it for her viewers. And thanks to her amazing wife, Jada had a nice background to complement her gameplay and face cam. She was so close to being invited to join the partner program. She would be able to take her content to a whole new level, make a lot more money than she was making now, and play video games for a full time job.

Jada fell more and more in love with Callie over this. Her wife was her biggest supporter. And she couldn't thank Callie enough. Callie didn't say anything about Jada wanting to stream a lot more than she had before. Callie was all for it. Jada could tell her wife picked up on how happy streaming made her. And since she had started doing it a lot more, her mental health had been so much better.

Jada just finished winning a game of Apex with her squad when she heard a knock on the glass door of her office. "Come in babe!"

Callie entered, bringing in a dish of her amazing chicken piccata. Jada loved when Callie cooked because everything she made was amazing. And she was even lucky enough to get dinner delivered to her in her office when she was playing later in the day.

Callie stopped a few feet away from Jada's desk and out of the frame of the camera. Callie refused to be in the stream at all whatsoever. Jada had been trying hard to get her to meet the chat full of wonderful people, even if it was for a moment.

Jada smiled, knowing that Callie wasn't going to come any closer, and she rolled her chair out of frame of the camera. "Babe this smells so good."

"I made it how you like it, just a little bit spicy."

"Thank you baby," Jada exclaimed, leaning up out of the chair to kiss her wife. "I owe you tonight," she teased.

"You owe me every night," Callie played along.

She took the plate from Callie. "I need to show chat how badass my wife's chicken piccata is."

Jada rolled back over in front of her desk as Callie left the room. She knew Callie was going to watch her stream so she waited a minute before showing off the food. Jada's already present smile widened when she saw a chat from Callie.

She picked up the plate and held it up to the camera. "The wifey is absolutely amazing," she said into her microphone. "I wish I could share some with you guys. You're missing out."

While chat was reacting, Jada took a bite of her dinner and caught another message from her wife.

Only for you babe.

"She's right," Jada said. "I'm not sharing any of this. It's all mine!"

The chat blew up with replies to Callie. It was scrolling so fast Jada had a hard time keeping up. It didn't matter though, as chats from Callie were highlighted on her end of the stream. Next to Callie's username was a moderator badge and a VIP badge. Callie had access to everything on her channel while she was streaming and often helped mod the chat with Jada's other moderators. But seeing that on screen was about all that chat knew about Callie.

Jada found another nervous side of Callie when she asked her to greet chat a few days ago when she started streaming more often. Callie didn't like the camera. And to Jada, it was so cute, but she never pushed her to come on stream. Jada knew Callie would do it at some point when she was ready. And Jada also knew that was part of Callie's private side. She was a very private person because of Lynx so Jada didn't say anything about Callie other than referring to her as her wife on stream.

Ever since her stream got popular these last few weeks, chat really wanted to meet Callie. Jada always ignored the requests if possible or play it off that Callie wasn't home or something.

While she was eating, Jada answered questions from chat. "What's your favorite meal your wife cooks for you?" she read from a viewer. "Definitely the chicken piccata," she answered, holding up the plate again. "Although I get her back a lot because I make some mean dishes myself."

"Where are you from?" she read. "I'm from Los Angeles."

"Where is your wife from? She's actually from Mexico. Not too far away from LA."

The questions came pouring in. When chat started moving fast like this, Jada stopped reading the chats and just responded to them.

When are we going to meet your wife?

"I'm not sure," Jada answered. "My girl's a really busy woman."

Who makes more?

"Oh she does. By a lot."

How did you meet your wife?

Jada again had to deflect the question. "It was really an unfortunate circumstance, the situation we were in. I don't really want to go too into it because what happened was pretty traumatic for me. But we both happened to be in the same place at the same time. And thinking back on it, I'm glad it happened because I wouldn't have met her if it didn't."

Are you going to stream and make YouTube videos full time?

"I hope so," Jada answered. "But it's a talk I still need to have with my wife. Our work schedules can be pretty opposite sometimes. So I want to make sure we still have somewhat of normal lives."

Favorite sports teams?

"Well, I've lived in LA all my life until recently so the Dodgers are my baseball team. And I like both the Chargers and the Rams. They're in different divisions so I can be a fan of both of them in the playoffs."

Where do you live now?

"I just recently moved to Seattle with the wifey. She got a really good job here and I can't be happier for her."

Jada finished her food and set the plate off to the side. "Alright, let's see if we can reach Masters tonight."
