Afterboom - Chapter 21

Hannah's house

"Sam, dinner!" Hannah called out and Ray walked downstairs and walked over to her.

"Hannah, are we ever going to talk about last night?" Ray said walking up behind her.

"I have nothing to say. You think that I'm going to cheat on you with Nick and I know that's just an excuse because you're getting cold feet." She finished, tossing a dirty dish into the sink.

"What? Hannah you know that that's not true. I love you more than anything, and I want us to be a family. I just get upset because I took this long to get you to give me a chance and now Garrett keeps showing up." He said putting his hands on her shoulders.

She turned around smiling at him and cocked an eyebrow, "So you're jealous of him huh?" she asked coyly.

"So, so very jealous." He said nearing his lips to hers.

"Ma? Janet's on the phone. She says its important." Sam called out from the doorway.

"Saved by the bell," ray whispered flirtatiously, and Hannah just laughed taking the phone from Sam.

"Hey Janet. What goes on?" She asked smiling at Ray.

"I told him I loved him. And it really upset him and he asked me why I didn't wait for him to say it back and I told him I wanted him to say it when he was ready but now I'm not so sure." Janet was clearly freaking out.

"Wait, wait wait." Hannah said holding up her hand, "back the Love Wagon up here a minute. You told him you love him?"

"Yes!" Janet yelped.

"And we're talking about Eddie here right?" she joked

"Oh you are cute. Listen I need you to come over right now. I'm really freaking out here!" Janet gushed.

"Okay! Okay! I'm on my way." Hannah chortled. She hung up and grabbed her keys off the counter and her jacket off the chair. "Okay guys I don't think I'll be back until really late so dinners in the oven and Sam don't forget to floss before bed. And you mister," she said walking over to Ray, "we're not done discussing what we were discussing before." She gave him a quick peck and left. "don't wait up!"

And all that was left was a cloud of dust by the door.
