The next morning, early, Caleb was in his office, waiting for Manuel Albaruenta to come. He felt a little tense. Hanna had made pretty clear that she didn't want him to accept, but despite being a little hesitant as well, he knew that it was an excellent offer. Money wasn't the only thing that mattered, yeah, but it could help. And if he and Hanna were really going to have other kids as they had decided, having extra cash was a really good thing. Maybe for the wedding too.

He had woken up before Hanna that morning. She was sleeping curled up against his body and he had smiled at himself seeing that. He felt so lucky to have her. Then, he had gotten up without waking her up, and had taken a look into Liam's room, where he was peacefully sleeping as well. And he felt so damn lucky to have him, too. He and Hanna were his whole life, and if he was really going to accept the offer, it would be just for them.

"Mr Rivers?" an about fourty-five years old man called him from the doorframe of his office, smiling.

"Manuel Albaruenta?" Caleb asked, standing up from his chair.

"Exactly."

"Please, come in."

The man walked in and closed the door behind his back before reaching Caleb and offering his hand to him. Caleb shook it and then invited him to have a seat.

"So... Have you thought about the offer, right?" Albaruenta asked.

"Yeah, I have. But I want to know the details before anything. It's a really important decision to me, since I'm about to get married and I also have a two years old kid home. You may understand, I think."

"Of course, I'm here exactly to inform you about everything."

Caleb nodded.

"Okay, I'm listening." he said then.

"Well... First of all, we're gonna start working in two weeks. So I need an answer by next Monday, mr Rivers."

"Fine."

"So... Your work would be about adding effects to the scenes filmed. You could also help with the cameras, if you want, but since I saw you're really good in computer graphics, I think it would be the best for you to mainly work on the scenes. Respecting our timing, mr Rivers, the scenes which we film in one day must be ready for the next day, fixed and with all the effects applied. We usually get together in the studio when we finished shooting everyday, sometimes we even end up with late nights, the crew and I, and try to figure out the best way to get the scene. I always supervise all of the crew's work, so you don't have to worry about making mistakes at first. We're a team, we make everything all together to avoid each other's errors. And I assure you that the people working for me are all nice and professional. You have my word."

Caleb nodded slowly and pursed his lips.

"Honestly, I like how it sounds. A movie would be something totally new for me, but... I've already worked with some kind of softwares, so I think I could do it... At least, I think." he said then.

"I think so too. Your dad is a dear friend, so I want to give you this chance... I know you can do a good job." Albaruenta nodded.

"Okay, sir... But I need to know how much money we're talking about here."

"Sure, that's comprehensible. So... Like I said when we first talked, mr Rivers, that's a lot of money. There's a specific contract about the work I've just illustrated you, and... You know, the movie business is such a huge business, where money is the main thing. Our company is well-stabilished into this business, so we like making our projects without saving money, to make sure they all come out excellently. But I don't want to bore you more with this stuff, so I'll go straight to the point. If you're gonna accept my offer, you'll sign a contract which says that you'll stay with us in Spain for exactly fifty days, joining the movie effects crew. And you'll be paid 500000 dollars, like each of the other twelve crew members."

Caleb practically gulped hearing the sum. 50 days, 500000 dollars. 10000 dollars a day.

"500000 dollars?" he asked, almost shocked.

"Yes, that's correct."

Caleb pursed his lips.

"That's really a lot of money. How much do you pay the actors, then? I mean, if you pay the crew members this much..." he murmured.

Albaruenta laughed slightly.

"Mr Rivers, I told you... Money makes the movie companies go around. If we pay you this much, it's because we can, and also because we earn so much more each time we produce another movie, clearly. That's the way things go." he shrugged then.

Caleb sighed and scratched the back of his neck. That money was even more than the whole price of the house near the park. He had even 50000 dollars more, which he could spend for the wedding, for Liam's future and for many other things more.

"I don't want to press you, mr Rivers, but let me just tell you that 500000 dollars for a man like you would be really advantageous. You said you have a kid and that you're going to get married soon, so... Well, that money could help, couldn't it?" the man added.

Caleb licked his lips and nodded briefly.

"Yeah, sure. But... I'll just give you my answer on Monday, okay? I need to talk with my fiancé first."

"Of course. I'll stop by here on Monday, if that's okay, and I'll bring the contract with me, so you can immediately sign it if you're gonna accept."

"Perfect."

Albaruenta then stood up and shook Caleb's hand again.

"Use these days to think about it, again. I'm sure you're gonna take the right decision." the man added.

"Thanks. I'll see you on Monday, sir."

Then, Albaruenta got out of Caleb's office, leaving him full of doubts.

When Caleb got home, he didn't find Hanna there. She was at work, at the mall. There was Ashley with Liam. The kid immediately ran to him as he entered the house, hugging him tightly. Caleb thanked Ashley for watching Liam and then spent the next few hours playing with him. However, Liam fell asleep at some point, so Caleb took a shower and then just lied on the couch thinking about what to do.

Fifty days and then his life could change. He could buy that wonderful house for his family, he could plan his wedding in the perfect way, just like how Hanna would like, and then who knows what else. Fifty days away from Hanna and Liam. That was the price.

The front door wide suddenly opened and Hanna got in.

"Hi." she smiled slightly.

Caleb smiled back and stood up, walking to her and then kissing her on the lips, a little longer than usual.

"Wow... What a welcome home." she grinned then.

Caleb stroked her cheek and then pulled her down on the couch with him.

"How did it go at work today?" he asked.

"Good. I had the shift with Laura, so you can imagine." she smirked.

"Yeah."

Then, Hanna sighed and pursed her lips.

"What about you? Did you talk with the movie producer?" she asked.

Caleb took a deep breath and nodded.

"So?" Hanna asked again.

"500000 dollars for fifty days." he replied.

Hanna widened her eyes.

"What? Are you sure?" she asked totally surprised.

"Yes. He basically told me that his company doesn't really pay too attention on money, since they earn so freaking much that they just don't have to worry about that." he shrugged.

Hanna stayed quiet for a minute before saying something more.

"Look, Caleb... Honestly, I don't want you to go. I told you already. And we both know that Liam doesn't either, even if he doesn't know anything. I... I want you here with me and him. Fifty days is a really long time apart... On the other hand, I know that 500000 dollars is a sum which nobody would ever reject, but... I just don't like the idea of being without you for so long."

Caleb smiled at her cuteness. He took both of her hands in his and looked deeply into her wonderful blue eyes.

"I know, babe. I know. And I don't like that idea either. Money's not the only thing that matters, you're right. But our future does. And being realistic, that money could settle us down for a long time. You and I and Liam, we could finally buy the house of our dreams, and then we could prepare our wedding in the best way without worrying about prices. You're right, being apart has never been a good thing for us, and we experienced it when I worked for the whole day, but... This time it would be a month and an half, but then? Then we will be alright, that's for sure." he told her gently.

Hanna sighed and looked down.

"Last night I was harsh with you, I recognize it, and I'm sorry. But I still haven't changed my mind, Caleb. I don't want you to do this." she murmured.

Caleb licked his lips and nodded briefly.

"I won't accept if you don't want me to. You're my priority, so... If you don't agree with this and you tell me that I have to stay, then I'll stay. But... Can you just think about it? Please?" he said then.

Hanna resumed eye-contact with him and bit her lower lip.

"Would you like to do an experience like that?" she asked then.

Caleb raised his eyebrows and shrugged slightly.

"It sounds pretty cool, I guess. Albaruenta told me I'd be part of the movie effects crew." he added.

"Yeah, sounds cool indeed." Hanna smiled slightly.

Caleb smiled back and then kissed her forehead. Hanna closed her eyes and pressed her forehead against him, so that the kiss could last longer.

"When do you have to give an answer?" she whispered, still in that position.

Caleb broke the kiss a few seconds later, placing then his chin on top of her head.

"Monday." he replied softly.

"Okay. We'll think about this. Together."

"Together." Caleb repeated, holding her closer.

"Is Liam sleeping?" she asked, burying her face into the crook of his neck.

"Yeah."

"Mmmh..." she mumbled before kissing his skin.

Caleb chuckled.

"What does it mean?" he added.

"What do you think it means?" Hanna replied, keeping to draw kisses all around his neck.

Caleb moaned slightly as Hanna slowly pulled him down on the couch, still kissing his neck. She straddled him and then lifted herself, taking off her shirt and revealing a black lace bra. He looked at her in awe and smiled as she started lifting his shirt as well. He lifted himself from the couch too to remove his shirt and then kissed Hanna passionately, unclasping her bra as he did so. Hanna threw it away and then Caleb's mouth was all over one of her breasts, making her moan and throw her head back. In the meanwhile, his hands went to her jeans, unbuttoning them. He slid one of his finger inside them and started rubbing it against the centre of her panties, with his mouth still working on her chest, and Hanna moaned again, this time louder. She abruptly pushed him back down and then she stood up, quickly getting rid of her jeans and her black lace panties, along with her shoes, before pulling his sweats and boxers down without bothering herself to remove them completely. Then she returned on top of him, and he placed his hands firmly on her hips. She bent down and kissed him, slowly, before lifting herself once again and placing his erection at her entrance. Hanna, then, finally lowered herself around him, closing her eyes and sighing in pleasure. Caleb swallowed and lifted his head slightly, enough to see them become a single one. He sighed as well, closing his eyes shut. She started moving on top of him, setting a slow pace. He licked his lower lip as he guided her hips with his hands, feeling his member sliding in and out of her and glancing up at her bouncing breasts. Her hands were pressed firmly against his chest, using it as a lever, and her eyes were closed in bliss. Caleb, instead, forced himself to keep his ones open to watch her. She was too beautiful not to watch her, especially as they made love. After a while, Hanna speeded up the pace, suddenly, scratching Caleb's skin harder. He moaned and pinched her hips, accompanying her, then he pulled himself up on his elbows and kissed her hard as she kept going. She pulled away and hid her face between his shoulder and the crook of his neck.

"Caleb..." she whispered, starting to shake.

"Yes, baby... I got you... Come on, let it go... Let it go..." he whispered back panting, placing his head against her shoulder as well and holding her closer.

Hanna hugged him and buried her fingernails into the skin of his back as she let her orgasm go. Her body jumped slightly and shivered, still hugging Caleb like she needed a support. He plunged himself upwards into her a couple of times more and then he held her tighter as his orgasm exploded as well. She felt him throb inside her and then his hot semen trickle over her inner muscles. He sighed, clearly all-content, staying buried inside of her to enjoy the feeling as long as possible. He lied back on the couch, gently pulling Hanna down with him, and kissed her slightly sweaty forehead. She kissed his neck as an answer, feeling his abs still twitching against her belly. They stayed like that for a couple of minutes before Hanna decided to sit up and then pulled him outside of her, smiling down at him as she stood up off the couch.

"If you're trying to make me realize what I'm gonna miss for fifty days if I accept the offer, well, you know what you're doing." he joked as Hanna put her underwear back on.

She laughed slightly.

"Do I always have to have a hidden agenda to make love to my fiancé?" she added.

Caleb smiled and started getting back dressed as well, in case Liam would wake up.

"Hey, I was thinking... What about you and Liam come with me to Spain?" he blurted out suddenly, pulling his sweats up.

Hanna raised an eyebrow at him.

"Caleb, I can't. I have my job here." she replied, slipping back into her shirt.

"Well, maybe you could ask for a vacation..."

"We're talking about fifty days, Caleb. That's almost two months. It's too much time off to ask for at the mall. And I'm pretty sure you know the director... Plus we would have to pay for another hotel room."

He sighed and ran an hand through his hair.

"You know, it's just that... I've been thinking about all the possibilities. It'd be good if I did something like that in my life, and I'd return with a lot of money for the three of us, and... And I could finally buy us a big house. The point is that... I never gave you anything, Hanna. This house was your house, and I was the one who moved in here when we decided to live together. So you gave me a place to stay, not the other way around. If I wanna go to Spain, it's because this way I could finally do something serious for our family, I could finally give you something, because I love you so much. But at the same time I don't want to leave you for that long. It's true that I wasn't very present at some point, but I was never away from you or Liam for more than a couple of days, and... And I just don't know what to do. That's why I really need you to help me with this decision. That's why I want this decision to be taken together, you can understand me, right?" he told her.

Hanna sighed and sat on the couch next to him.

"Caleb... It's not true that you never gave me or Liam anything. That's the most absurd thing you could have said. This house is mine, that's true, but it's mine just on the contract. This is our house, alright? Mine, yours and Liam's. And... It's not like all the things which someone gives to someone else are material. You've been giving me love for years, Caleb. Even when I treat you like shit because I'm nervous, even when I act like the most unbearable person of the world. And most of all, you gave me Liam, who's the most beautiful thing of my life. I'm pretty sure we made him together, right? And he simply adores you. You're like his hero. So... Don't feel like you have to do this because you have never given us anything, because it's not true, okay?" she replied gently, caressing his face.

He sighed deeply.

"Okay. It's just that—" he tried to say, but Hanna cut him off.

"Caleb, I told you. I promise I'll think about it and we're gonna discuss about what to do together. Together. But we don't have to do this right now."

He nodded slowly.

"You're right." he murmured then.

She smiled at him and gave him a sweet kiss.

"I love you, okay?" she whispered then.

"I know. I love you too. Remember that. Don't ever forget it." he replied softly.

"I won't. I know that too."

And then he wrapped his arms around her and hugged her. She placed her head against his chest and he kissed the top of her head.
