 I know some people will take issue with Cal, but dear me, I think I'm pretty much in love. Go for it if you're into awkward and shy around women grown men that are 1. not scared of making their feelings known, 2. are seriously dirty-minded, 3. totally respect a woman's boundaries and work. I know some people do not get Cal's personality and wonder how someone so incredibly incompetent at small talking women could be a beast in bed, but I get it. Oh I do get it, Cal. Also Stella, you're amazing and even your issues are amazing. I mean, not that her issues are awesome but they way she handles them and how things are not too dramatic but it's just all about the lemons that life throws at you that take you down... it's just amazing. You're badass, I love your ball busting (pun intended) ways with your clients and I love that you can both feel self confident in your life while acknowledging everything Cal brings to it. *sigh* . The chemistry between these two is out of this world. In one morning, it descends into marriage proposal but for real, read this. It's hilarious and perfect and definitely insta-love without being insta-love. I swear it all makes perfect sense.
