Lynx: A Callie Torres Story

66

Jada was having a blast in Austin and was disappointed that they would be leaving tomorrow. They got everything work related accomplished and the media was buzzing with news over the announcement. Ali and Daniela took them out to explore the city and to nice places for dinner. Jada got to stream from Oni HQ for the first time and met with her new team.

When posting her announcement picture on Instagram, Callie allowed her to post the photo of the two of them, making this the first time she appeared on Jada's couple million follower Instagram.

Jada was so happy with where she was at. She had an amazing wife, her dream job, and now she was helping expand a content creation business to help others get where she was. Jada never imagined she would have all of this. Often times she caught herself thanking fate for bringing her and Callie together.

She closed up her bag. "Thanks Daniela."

"No problem," Daniela replied. "Ali and I are really excited about this."

"Me too, I just never thought I would ever get this far."

"Neither did Ali," Daniela explained. "We met right after we both graduated high school and he moved out of his parents house to stream full time. I was the only one who supported him at the time. His parents understandably thought what he was doing was dumb because it was so difficult to get where you both are."

Jada nodded. "I was doing graphic design work and streaming occasionally when I met Callie. She could tell that I wasn't enjoying it and told me to go for it. And here we are."

"Ali asks me often if I want him to stream less or stop all together. I could never tell him no because I know how much he loves it. Sometimes it's hard being with a streamer because if he's not streaming, he's in there recording or editing."

Jada sat down at the counter. "I got in a few fights with Callie over it."

Daniela poured them both more wine. "On top of it, Ali was on a workout grind since he wanted to get in shape for his skin."

"I'm nervous about mine and what people are going to think of it," Jada said. "Ali does tell everybody a lot how much you support him and are there for him."

"Ali showed me yours and I really like it," Daniela complimented. "Ever since we built Oni Studios, I've had a lot more to do while he streams and I think that's what keeps me sane sometimes with his busy schedule," Daniela said with a laugh.

Jada shared the laugh. "There were times when I really started having success I wouldn't see Callie for more than a few minutes a day so I know where you're coming from. I didn't realize what I was getting into when I decided to start dating an orthopedic surgeon."

"Callie's an orthopedic surgeon?"

Jada nodded. "Not trying to brag, but she's one of the best in the world. People come from all over for her."

"I think I do remember Ali telling me something about that," Daniela said. "Because you two were supposed to come a few weeks ago."

"Yeah Callie got invited to some prestigious convention event," Jada laughed. "I had no idea what it was about."

"It's all good, it worked out better anyway. Ali's Icon Skin was releasing that week so it was insane around here."

"I can imagine," Jada replied as she took another sip of wine.

As she was about to say something else, they both heard some yelling coming from the garage. "I wonder what they're up to now?" Daniela asked. "I hope your wife is showing those boys up."

They both broke out in laughter. Callie was outside in the garage working out with Ali and his brother Omar. "I hope so because I could get used to this," Jada said happily.

Jada wouldn't mind moving to Texas to be closer to her second job of being a content creation mentor. She hadn't yet mentioned anything to Callie and she knew this wouldn't be happening anytime soon. Callie was so much happier at the new hospital and in Seattle so Jada didn't even want to think about bringing it up to her.

"I would love to move here someday," Jada found herself admitting out loud.

"It would be awesome to have you two here. But I know Texas isn't exactly too flashy compared to LA and Seattle."

"I thought it was going to be more deserty," Jada said, laughing at herself for what she'd said.

"It is, just not around here."

"Austin is really pretty," Jada admitted. "Maybe someday. I'm not even going to bring it up to Callie because she has a really good job in Seattle and long distance is not an option."

"Quarterly visits will be enough," Daniela said. "Not saying that we don't want you here, but I know how hard it is to travel a lot. And we'll see you at events and stuff."

"No worries," Jada teased. "I know what you mean. I'd be more than happy to come down for some Metal Umbrella collection launches too."

"That would be awesome. Although I would have to make you model."

"I'm down for that," Jada said right before hearing more yelling coming from the garage.

"Do you want to go see what our crazy lovers are up to?"

"Yes please," Jada said before taking another sip of wine and getting up to follow Daniela.

Daniela opened the door to the garage. "One more!" the heard Ali shout.

Both Ali and his brother were standing behind the bench press spotting some absurd amount of weight Callie was lifting. When Callie finished the final rep, her arms shaking like crazy, the boys helped her rack the bar.

Omar held out his hand and helped Callie to her feet. "Let's go!" Ali yelled. "That was fucking awesome!"

Callie started yelling back and giving high fives to the guys. Jada couldn't help but smile. She'd wanted her wife to have wine with her and Daniela, but when Ali asked her to come workout with them, Jada couldn't ask her not to. Callie had done so much for her on this trip.

"You boys are so loud," Daniela teased.

When the three of them noticed Daniela and Jada in the doorway, Jada couldn't control the feeling coming from a certain somewhere when she made eye contact with Callie. Her hair was pulled back with some loose hairs plastered to her face and neck in sweat. She loved that look from her wife for a few different reasons. Callie's dark tank top hugged her tightly and Jada could see the gleaming of sweat on her shoulders and arms under the lights. To Jada, Callie looked like she got even more ripped in the past few days. Her arms hung at her sides and Jada couldn't get her eyes off the muscles in her shoulders and arms.

"She did three of 300!" Ali exclaimed excitedly. "That's badass as fuck!"

"Damn Callie," Jada found herself saying.

"Omar and I couldn't even do that," Ali added. "My max is like 280 right now."

"Did she show you two up?" Daniela asked the guys.

"She sure did, and it was awesome! Callie, you're a fucking beast!"
