Hey guys this is a new one, if you were wondering though I will still be writing more on 'I've always loved you', and I know I kinda gave up on a lot of stories but I'm not done with that one just yet ;)

Btw in this story, its in America so the drinking age is 21 and picture most of the places like Gossip Girl and if you've seen the movie 'Careful what you wish for' with Nick Jonas in it, its kinda based on that xx

This is just another story, I don't know how long it will last but Hope you like it xx

Hanna was standing near the buffet table at the most fancy place she had ever been in. Her boyfriend Mark, was the boss of a marketing company and was super rich. This party was dedicated to him and a few others for getting an award, but its also a charity event for all the rich people to go to. Hanna was happy for him that his work was going well but she always felt in the shadows when she was with him.

He was a lot older, Hanna was 20 and Mark was 29. She didn't have a job- although she wanted one, Mark wouldn't let her. He wants her to stay at home in their mansion and shop all the time. Hanna on the other hand would love to get out into the world and earn money on her own instead of leaning on a man to provide for her. She liked Mark, they have been together for 4 months now, but he was very controlling and didn't care much about her as a person, He kind of treated her more as property. For the first 2 months of there relationship, he would fly to rosewood to see her and she would fly to New York to see him, but then Hanna moved in with him in New York.

She was wearing a Valentino low cut sparkly silver dress, which was short and tight. She didn't want to wear it because she felt 'dirty' because it was too revealing, but Mark insisted that she did because he needs 'someone that his clients and co-workers would be jealous of'. She had silver Versace heels on and a white clutch by YSL. All her clothes were very designer all the time because Mark was so rich and spent his money like it grew on trees.

Hanna had been here for 30 minutes, the first 10 she was with Mark, he was acting so different, he was acting...Nice. He introduced her to his clients and co-workers like he said he would, and then left her by herself. She just stood there occasionally saying 'hello' to people and eating the finger foods that were laid out in front of her.

Meanwhile, Caleb was at the same party as Hanna. He worked in marketing for the same business, Mark was actually his boss.

Hanna was getting tired of just standing there alone at the fancy event, but she knew that if she left before Mark had been awarded his prize, or if she even left without his permission at all, he would be so angry. She was walking to the bar to sit down while on her phone about to dial Spencer's number when she bumped into someone.

"Oh my god I'm so sorry, I wasn't looking" Hanna said to the tall muscular brunette.

Caleb also wasn't looking but when he bumped into the sexy blonde, his attention was immediately on her.

"Oh, don't worry it was my fault too" He said with a smirk as his eyes wondered to her exposed cleavage.

She noticed him staring at her boobs, much like most of the people she had talked to at the event this evening.

"Well I better get going...Sorry again" She said giving a small awkward smile and walking away.

He couldn't let that girl get away from him without even getting her name and getting to know her. He turned around began to follow her to the bar.

She sat down on the stool and ordered a water and then Caleb immediately sat next to her.

"So are you gonna tell me your name beautiful?" He asked.

She smiled at his cheesy way of hitting on girls. She would usually say some snarky bitchy comment back but she thought he was cute so she let it slide.

"Hanna, you?" She said sipping her water.

"Caleb. Why are you drinking water at an open bar?, You know everything is free right?"

"I'm 20, I can't drink yet" She said.

"Really? Woah, you don't look that young"

"How old are you?" She asked.

"Twenty-five. What are you doing here anyway?, I haven't see you around the offices, and no offense but you don't really look like the kinda girl into marketing..." He smiled.

"No, I'm definitely not" She laughed. "I came here with my boyfriend but he went off with some clients to talk about business a while ago"

He was quite annoyed she had a boyfriend, but he didn't know many people and she seemed like a nice girl, so he thought he'd keep talking to her.

"Do you not know anyone else here?" He asked.

"No and this place is so boring and i feel like i've had plastic surgery from fake-smiling at the hundreds of boring people my boyfriend introduced me too" She said.

He laughed at how open she was. "I know, all these people are so uptight. You know...If you can't drink, I know a place we can get some..."

"I can't leave, my boyfriend would kill me" She said.

"We're not exactly leaving. I know where they keep extra drink in this place"

She laughed at him. "I don't know..."

"Come on, don't you wanna get out of this party for a bit and have a drink. Its okay, you can trust me" He sad convincingly.

"How can I trust you when I don't even know you?"

"Well if you come with me, you'll get to know me"

She was a bit hesitant at first but she then gave in. "Okay, Fine. But don't pull anything" She smiled flirtatiously and he smirked back.

She sat up from the bar and started walking out the huge and fancy hall they were in. He couldn't help but stare at her ass as she walked.
He led her to the kitchen where they would usually be loads of people preparing fancy meals for the restaurant, but there was no one there as there was a party there instead.

He popped a bottle of champagne open and poured them both a glass.

"Thanks" She said as he handed it to her.

"So Caleb, where you from? Do you live round here?" She asked, sitting on the metal kitchen counter.

"Yeah, I've lived in New York most of my life. What about you?, You lived here long?"

"I lived in Rosewood all my life until I moved here with my boyfriend about 2 months ago"

"Does your boyfriend work here?" He asked.

"Yeah, ugh...he owns it actually..."

"Wait, your dating Mark Gilbert?, as In my boss?" He said shocked.

"Yeah..."

"Isn't he like 30?"

"29 actually, and yes, its legal"

"Do you love him?" Caleb asked.

She was taken back by that question. "Thats a bit personal" She laughed.

"Okay, how bout this. I ask you a question and you answer honestly with an explanation why, and you ask me the same"

"...Okay" She sighed.

"Do you love him?" He asked again.

"No, I don't love him. I like him but I couldn't love him, he's too controlling" She admitted. She didn't know why she was telling him, it took ages for her friends to get that out of her. She just felt safe with him and felt she could talk openly.

He nodded slowly.

"Okay...Why did you break up with your last girlfriend?" She asked.

"Actually she broke up with me, her friend had a crush on me and they said I was driving a wedge in their relationship, something about 'sisters before misters'" He said laughing and she laughed back.

"Why are you with Mr. Gilbert, -sorry, Mark- if you know that you don't really love him?" He asked.

"I can't answer that..." She said sipping her drink to avoid eye contact.

"Hey, thats they rules. You can tell me, you know I won't judge you" He said.

"Okay, okay. I was head-over-heels about him when we first met, and then he asked me to move to New York with him. I said yes, but he just leaves all the time, barely ever sees me, and only brings me to these kinda parties because he needs to show off 'someone that clients and co-workers would be jealous of'. He makes me wear things and do things that I don't like, but when I tried to break up with him a few weeks ago, he got so angry that he-..." Hanna cut herself off before finishing. Maybe she shouldn't beetling a stranger all this.

"That he what?" He whispered.

"N-nothing, he just got angry so I stayed with him instead..." She lied.

He knew she wasn't telling the truth but he couldn't press her. It seemed like she was trapped in a relationship that she didn't like, which was surprising to Caleb giving how outgoing and bubbly he thought she was.

Caleb looked at his watch. "The awards are about to be given out, shall we go back in?"

"Yeah, I need to be by Mark's side or I'll 'embarrass him'" She said using the two finger speech marks.

He laughed at her but he felt sorry for her at the same time. They walked out of the empty kitchen and saw everyone gathering round the stage, just in time for the awards.

The three people the award was dedicated to (including Mark), went on stage to get there glass figure on a plaque and then came off stage, ready to be photographed.

"I better go, It was nice meeting you" Hanna said walking away.

He quickly grabbed her arm and twisted her around. "Can I not get your number?" He asked.

"Why?" She smirked.

"Maybe we can meet up" He said. He saw her smile grow wider and her eyes squint at what he said. "As friends of course..."

She nodded slowly, still smiling. "Well I would love to, Its kinda nice having a friend here" She said while writing her number on a napkin, "I know I've been here for 2 months, but I barely know anyone"

"I'll see you around princess" He winked.

She turned on her high heel and began walking to where Mark was and Caleb watched as almost every guy turned their heads to watch her. She joined Mark and the two were photographed together by many cameras. He had his award in one hand and his other hand wrapped tightly around his young girlfriends waist. As they kissed, Caleb couldn't help but feel a little jealous. She was everything he looked for in a woman, and he wanted her.

The two were walking out the building hand-in-hand and when they walked past Caleb, Hanna shot a gorgeous smile at him. He didn't know how he was going to hang out with her knowing he could never be with her. She was his boss' girlfriend.

Hope you guys liked it, please review xx
