Chapter 7
"Dont be fooled by your so much more room for happiness." – Room for happiness by Kaskade.

"Be kind, and happy, and try your best and love everyone and..." Caleb rambled as he sat next to Nahani on her purple bubble bedding.

" Uncle Caleb." Nahani interrupted "It's almost ten, I need my beauty sleep and you need to talk to aunty Hanna. Goodnight, bye, love you." She said it in the She said it in the sassiest and Hanna like way possible.

"Okay, missy miss. Love you goodnight." Caleb kissed her forehead, turned off the light and left her bedroom.

The man deliberately walked slowly into the living room, rubbing his hands, and nervous as hell and not anticipating this long awaited conversation.

Caleb sat down on the couch and spoke calmly "So , about that talk, I was talking about earlier." He was so nervous he could even formulate his sentences correctly.

"Oh ya." The blonde replied as turned down the volume on the TV. "So, what's up?"

Her damn smile got him every time.

"Um, I was um talking to Nahani and she was questions." He spoke quietly and slowly.

"Okay." She nodded waiting for him to finish.

"About us and stuff." He was stalling and she could tell.

"Caleb, just say it." Hanna influenced.

" Fine, I wanna talk about, and what's happening..with...us." Finally it was out, he could exhale.

" Caleb..." she sighed

" I'm just asking for us to talk. I want to know what happened, cause I wanna how we went from excitement and joy to separated then breaking up. I wanna know what I could have done to make the last seven years last longer.

God damn him doing this, to her right now.

"You know what changed Caleb." She replied softly.

"Physically yes, it hurt me too, but after that, we broke up a while after. My question is what happened to us after."The brunette moved closer to the blonde, he wanted to show his sincerity.

" I felt like, it was all my fault and at the time I couldn't forgive myself so there's no way you could forgive me and all the love was deep mass hatred." She spoke even quieter than before, she looked at her hands as she spoke embarrassed of her past feelings.

"I could never hate you."Caleb kept inching closer slowly. He wanted to hug her but didn't want to scare her.

"I know that now, but at that time that's how I felt and how I thought. When you kept telling me that you still loved and it wasn't my fault I was so in my own head that I couldn't even hear you. And I feel horrible now because, you feel bad about stupid stuff that I did, and now both of us regret it and I don't know." The regret was very evident in her voice and tears were in her eyes.

"I should have listened to you too and given you space and fought harder instead of just being frustrated and leaving." The brown eyed man apologized.

It was silent, but not that awkward silence they'd been having usually, a peaceful calming silence. They were taking in the short conversation. They were finally hearing each other.

"So where do we go from here?" The blonde said.

"Depends do you think there's any possibility of us getting back together." Caleb nodded with a hopeful smirk.

"Well now that you've asked that I think there's a high chance of that happening." Hanna smiled. "But first I want a date." She added.

"Seriously?" he knew it was very Hanna like to want something extravagant, even if they had known each other for this long.

"Yes, seriously." She replied simply as she pushed herself towards the front of her seat.

"Youre still going to get back with me if I don't right?" The man asked as he shifted in his seat too.

"Maybe." She winked "I have to go to sleep now." The woman stood and began to walk away.

"How about we cuddle and that counts as the date. "

"I'll take it, but it won't be the date." The blue eyed woman spoke over her shoulder.

He followed her anyway. For the next week he was going to make her want him as much as he wanted her right then.

Next morning

" Fuck you Caleb." Hanna cussed as she pulled her hair into a bun and pulled her red scrubs over her legs.

"Well... we kind of.." He leaned on her bed dresser as he hinted towards their early morning endeavours.

"You laugh, but I'm late for work and it's your fault." She replied frustratedly.

"I'm sorry, but I missed you muchhhhh." Caleb elongated his words.

"Whatever. I'll shake Nani on my way out, but you'll probably need to actually wake her up in ten minutes. She'll get bathed and brush her teeth and hair by herself while you get her breakfast ready. She doesn't like breakfast so don't make a lot but make sure she drinks at least half a glass of milk and a bit of fruit so she's not starving. Her lunch and agenda are already on the counter, just put them on in her backpack and head out by eight-twenty. Hanna rambled as she ran around the room, putting on her shoes and grabbing her purse and keys.

"k, wake, food, lunch, leave. Got it.." He summarized "You sound like a mom now, you know'

Hanna knew she changed the last month, but it was for the best so she passed over his comment and kept on "Caleb make sure she has everything, I don't want the school calling because she has two left shoes on."

"Han, I've got this, we do this almost every weekend. It's okay." He spoke as he got out of bed.

"Thanks for taking her to school, I appreciate it." Hanna spoke gently

"It's no problem, I think Nan, will get a kick out of seeing me this early. Now gimme kisses before you leave." Caleb walked up to her and placed his hands on her hips.

The blonde smiled and gave him gave him a peak on the lips. "k, bye have fun."

"We will." The man waved and waited to hear the door close.

Finally after almost half a year, all parties involved were genuinely happy.
