Chapter 2- I'm Tired Of Waiting For You : A Summerland Story.
"I know I don't usually cook like this unless there is something I want to tell you, but I wanted us all together to tell you that Johnny and I are engaged"
Everyone was so excited. Johnny and Ava have loved each other for years, but no one would make the first move.
"And that's not all. Ava and I are pregnant." said Johnny with a smile across his face a mile wide.
Suddenly the room fell silent. Everyone just starred at the two of them.
"What's wrong?" asked Ava.
"Nothing we are all happy for you. Just a little surprised." said Susannah.
The family ate mostly in silence for the remainder of the meal.
(Tanner and Hannah's Date)
After a beautiful dinner at one of the finest restaurants in Playa Lynda, Tanner took Hannah to the beach. They kicked off their shoes and started to walk.
"Do you remember when we were 8 years old, and Mrs. Jenkin's made us kiss in that school play? I forgot the name." asked Tanner.
"Romeo and Juliet." laughed Hannah.
"Yeah. That's it. I was so nervous." said Tanner looking down at the sand.
"Why?" asked Hannah.
"Because I had to kiss the girl of my dreams." said Tanner finally looking at Hannah.
"But we were only 8 years old. How could you believe I was the girl of your dreams?" asked a smiling Hannah.
"I knew from the moment I saw you." said Tanner.
He gently took her hand and held it in his. They continued to walk hand-in-hand.
"If I am the girl of your dreams why did you treat me the way that you did all these years?" said Hannah, releasing her hand from his, waiting for a reply.
"Because I was scared. I know that, that's no excuse, but that's why." Tanner explained.
Hannah stopped dead in her tracks and turned to face Tanner. She took one step towards him and kissed his lips. He kissed her back in total shock.
"I wish that you would have told me sooner." said Hannah.
"Come on. I'll take you home." smiled Tanner.
(End Of Date)
When they arrived at Hannah's house, Tanner walked Hannah to her door and kissed her good night. She walked upstairs to her bedroom and flopped on her bed. She had the best night of her life. She pulled out her cell phone and it read one new text message. She hit the button and when she checked it she saw that the message was from Bradin.
(Bradin's Text Message)
"Hey Han. A lot happened today. First Aunt Ava and Johnny told us they were engaged, and then they dropped the mother load on us. They are pregnant. I called but you didn't answer. You must be still on your date with Tanner"
(End Of Message)
"Wow that was a long text message." thought Hannah. She scrolled through her phonebook and hit the call button on Bradin's name.
"Hey Han. What's up?" asked Bradin.
"Just got done reading your message. Did you get a hand cramp? My goodness." laughed Hannah.
"Well it was just shocking, and I need to talk to someone. " said Bradin.
"Yeah they just got together." said Hannah.
"By the way. How was your date with Tanner?" asked Bradin.
"It was beautiful. We walked along the beach, and he told me that he always had feelings for me. And then we kissed. It was so beautiful."
Bradin grew silent, and his heart started to pound faster. He couldn't believe that they had kissed.
"Bradin are you there? Are you ok?" asked Hannah.
"Hey. This sounds serious." laughed Bradin.
"Yeah. I guess. I really do like him. He's not the same asshole we knew." laughed Hannah.
"Well I'm going to bed now. Good night." said Bradin.
As Bradin hung up the phone his heart sank. That's when it hit him. He was in love with Hannah Bale. But she loved Tanner. And she was happy. He didn't want to ruin that for his best friend, so he decided not to say anything. That night Bradin didn't sleep well and the next morning it was noticeable.
"Bradin honey what's wrong? You don't look well." asked Aunt Ava.
"Yeah. I just couldn't sleep last night." said Bradin.
Bradin quickly ate his breakfast and headed to Hannah's house. As he was about to knock on the door it opened. Bradin looked and saw Tanner facing him.
"What are you doing here?" asked a disappointed Bradin.
"Hannah and I are going to Two Brothers to surf." said Tanner.
"You can come too." said Hannah, who was standing next to Tanner.
"I don't know. I don't want to be the third wheel." said Bradin.
"Bring someone then. We'll meet you there." laughed Hannah.
Bradin agreed and watched as Hannah and Tanner left. He couldn't believe what was happening. He was going to have to watch Tanner and Hannah together. He walked to Erika's apartment and knocked on her door.
"Hey Bradin. what's up?" asked Erika.
"You want to go to Two Brothers and surf?" asked Bradin.
"Sure let me grab my gear, and we'll go."
She grabbed her bathing suit, surfboard, bottled water, car keys, a few beach towels, and headed to her car to load it up. She got into her car, and waited for Bradin.
