Chapter 25

Standing at the top of the stairs Caleb had never been happier to see Hanna, she cracked the code & saved his ass...yet again.

This was becoming a bad habit.

" You did it! ". Caleb was so proud Hanna remembered his password. She returned the grin with a punch to the arm. " What? " he was still smiling like a fool.

" One one zero five? November fifth...? You couldn't have just told me it was the night that we...you know ". Hanna would never forget the day she gave Caleb her virginity.

" Hanna, there was an exclamation point ". Hanna threw her arms around him, she'd come very close to losing him again. Every time she thought about not having him in her life, she bought herself to tears. She looked up & seen Garrett walking out the front doors, the puppet to -A's game. She could never let him win.

" Lets get out of here ". Caleb hated crooked cops, as far as he was concerned you couldn't trust any of them especially any that came from Rosewood.

" No " Hanna watched Garrett walk across the parking lot. " Lets throw it in his face a little longer ". She threw her arms around Caleb again & whether anyone was looking or not she kissed him for as long as she could. Once Garrett was out of sight they got into her mothers car, Caleb rolled the windows down and took a breath of fresh air.

" I'm going to have to step up my game if -A is trying to get at me through my computer ".

" Trust me, you've got plenty of game " Hanna grinned, her words meaning more than just his technological skills.

" I'm serious Han " Caleb reached for her hand.

" So am I, we'll get past this like we do everything & next time we'll be smarter ". Hanna reached over the center of the car and kissed the corner of his lips. " Your place or mine? " she asked.

" Definitely yours, things are weird with Lucas. I think I'm going to get a place on my own, I just have to talk to my Mom about it when Im in California next ".

" Really? " Hanna sat back in her seat. " Does this mean I can sleep over and we can have breakfast in bed and movie nights and! " Hanna was getting carried away with all the things they could do behind closed doors.

" Only if my Mom agrees, and then we have your Mom to deal with too ".

" Don't worry about my Mom, she trusts you now ".

" I'm uh... Returning to California next weekend " Caleb looked to Hanna.

" Oh " she lowered her head & fiddled with the keys.

" I know you hate when I leave but I always come home right? " Caleb lifted her chin with his finger. Hanna nodded but didn't face him. She hated talking about him going to California, never knowing if it was the last time she'd see him or not. Technically, he was still a minor & his mother could keep him in California if she really wanted to.

" What if your Mom says no to your own apartment? " Hanna locked eyes with him.

" Then I'll live miserably with Lucas until I can afford to get us the hell out of here when ever that may be ".

" You'd do that for me? ". Hanna was surprised he'd thought further than next week, next month or even next year.

" Of course, theres nothing I wouldnt do for you Han ".
