Hello Lovelies. Here is a new chapter for you. I hope you enjoy it and please tell me what you think. It's a bit longer than normal but I think you lovelies will like it.
Hanna looks at Caleb completely flabbergasted at what she just heard.
"Answer me Caleb. Do you really think I had more fun with Toby tonight then I've ever had with you?" Hanna says. Caleb drops his utensils and wipes his mouth before he turns on his stool.
"As a matter of fact Hanna I do. I watched you dance and laugh with Toby and I can't recall the last time you danced and laughed with me." Caleb said. Hanna's jaw drops before she closes her mouth. Her eyes narrow as she looks at Caleb.
"Maybe we would be having fun together Caleb if you didn't spend all your time trying to fight with me and control my life. I'm sorry if I am not falling into the mold of perfect girlfriend where when you say jump I ask how high." Hanna says. Caleb gets off his seat and glares at Hanna.
"That's not what I want. What I want is a girlfriend that knows when and when not to do something that will put a strain on our relationship." Caleb says. Hanna rolls her eyes before crossing her arms in front of her chest.
"And by strain you mean going anywhere with Jordan whether we are alone or with people around us. What exactly do you want me to do Caleb?" Hanna asks. Caleb laughs.
"What I've been telling you to do Hanna. NOT GO! I don't know how many times I can tell you the same thing before you get it into your thick skull that I don't want you anywhere near that guy." Caleb says harshly.
"Caleb, I already have their suitcases ready and I already received half of my fee. The other half and my bonus will only be received if I go and stay for the entire trip. I CAN'T CANCEL!" Hanna says raising her voice.
"You know what Hanna then go single. If you can't stay here because of money go single so I won't be a concern of yours." Caleb says seriously. Hanna looks at him for a while.
"You're serious about this." Hanna says softly.
"Very serious Hanna. So have fun in Europe alone with your clients." Caleb says. Caleb walks away from the counter, walks into his bedroom and lays on his bed. Caleb puts his ear buds in his ear and blasts the music on his phone. Caleb closes his eyes and puts his hands under his head. Hanna looks at Caleb's bedroom. She wipes her face before texting Spencer and telling her not to worry about Toby coming. Everything was settled. Hanna walks into Caleb's bedroom and looks at him for a long time before she takes off his t-shirt and changes into the clothes she wore to the diner, minus his beanie of course. Hanna closes her bag, puts on her coat and carries it out with her. Hanna looks back at Caleb with his eyes closed before turning to leave his bedroom and his apartment. Hanna gets in her car and drives home. Her phone rings, Spencer, but she doesn't answer it.
Hanna gets home, parks and enters her building. She did, surprisingly, check to make sure Darren Wilden was nowhere in sight before she parked and entered. Hanna gets on the elevator and waits until she reaches her floor. She lifted the doors and entered her loft. As much as her loft was considered the second floor in reality it was more the fourth and fifth floors hence why she had such a good view. Hanna takes off her clothes, puts on her pajama's and finish packing her suitcase.
"It's almost funny." Hanna says as she thinks about everything that happened. Toby helped her get over Spencer and Caleb just for Caleb to break up with her anyway. "I guess he didn't like the Toby idea." Hanna says as she zips her suitcase and puts her passport and other things she would need in the designer hand bag she was taking with her. Hanna gets in bed and closes her eyes as silent tears slide down her cheeks wetting her pillow.
Spencer calls Hanna again but no answer. She calls Caleb and realized he wasn't answering either. Toby sighs as he looks at Spencer.
"You told me that you had a slight case of jealousy. Was Caleb jealous too?" Toby asks Spencer. Spencer looks at Toby.
"Yea, but he wouldn't do anything stupid." Spencer says. Toby laughs and shakes his head before feeling his pockets for his keys.
"Babe can you take me to the diner. I forgot I actually drove there." Toby says. Spencer looks at him strangely and then laughs.
"O my god Toby. You did leave your car. How alpha male of you to drive my car for me." Spencer says. Toby's eyes smile as he bites his bottom lip and pulls Spencer towards him. They break away and walk out of the condo together to Spencer's car. Toby drives while Spencer calls Hanna again.
"Damn it." Spencer says as Toby looks at her briefly before watching the road.
"She's not going to answer Spence. The minute she told you everything was taken care of should have been the hint." Toby says as he parks beside his car. Toby and Spencer get out of her car.
"What do you mean." Spencer says. Toby shakes his head as he gives Spencer her keys and unlocks his truck door. To be so smart Caleb and Spencer had a small tendency of not seeing the obvious.
"When Caleb doesn't get his way with Hanna he pushes her away. That's his modus operandi so he won't have to deal with a head strong woman; and a head strong independent woman is exactly who Hanna is now." Toby says. Spencer closes her eyes as she sighs.
"He broke up with her." Spencer says softly. Toby nods.
"Yep. That's why I asked you how jealous he was Spencer. Depending on his jealousy level he would push Hanna not to go instead of accepting me being with her. Caleb is very smart but sometimes so damn stupid."
"So you're telling me that Caleb Rivers cut off his nose to spite his face." Spencer says. Toby smirks.
"When it comes to Hanna, that is exactly what he did. He did that because he knows Hanna would choose him. What Caleb doesn't care to realize is that this is her job. Jordan Harris and Liz Thompson have a lot of backing in California and abroad. Cancelling on these specific clients will cost Hanna her livelihood. Deep down inside Hanna knows this which is why she can't cancel no matter how much she loves Caleb. Caleb's jealousy won't let him see that and in the interim what he just did is push a hurt and vulnerable Hanna right where he didn't want her to be in the first place." Toby says. Spencer shakes her head.
"Into Jordan's arms." Spencer says as Toby nods.
"Exactly. See you at the condo Spence." Toby says as they both get in and drive towards Spencer's Philadelphia home.
Caleb turned down the music and realized he dozed off for a few minutes. He looked around and comprehended that Hanna wasn't in his apartment. Caleb's fists clench before he gets out of bed and throws clothes in a bag. Caleb opened his laptop and bought a ticket for California. It was expensive but he didn't care. He could afford it and one place he didn't want to be right now was in Philadelphia. Caleb changes his clothes, grabs his jacket, finish packing his bag and then locks his apartment behind him. Time in Montecito is exactly what he needed right now. He had a lot to think about.
Caleb drives to the airport without calling and telling anyone where he is.
Hanna laughed with Lucas as he told her all the problems he was having. Lucas called and skyped her daily for help in her boutique. The smartest thing Hanna did was make sure Morgan and Cecile were scheduled everyday while she was gone. Cecile and Morgan rotating each day between open and close. This time Lucas's problem were the two registers. Supposedly there were a lot of cash payments today. Watching Lucas's frustration was hysterical to Hanna.
"Lu all you have to do is take out the extra money out of the register. The system you set up tells you exactly what to do. Then put the money in the deposit bags you also ordered, fill out one and drop of the deposit at the bank in which you set up my business account. But before you go to the bank . . ."
"I know smart ass. Set the alarm and lock the gate." Lucas says glaring at her playfully which made Hanna laugh again. If Lucas didn't forget the first two days in a row last week maybe she wouldn't have to remind him.
"Good job Lu. You can own your own boutique pretty soon." Hanna says sarcastically. Lucas laughs, stops suddenly and flicks her off.
"Not cute Han. See you in three days." Lucas says. Hanna smiles.
"Three days Lu. Love you."
"Love you too Han. Be safe." Lucas says as he smiles at her. Hanna winks and ends the skype session on her laptop. It was Jordan and Liz's last meeting and it was later in the afternoon. Hanna usually got Jordan ready first but this time Liz had to be ready first. She was spearheading this meeting and Jordan would arrive an hour or two after. Hanna wasn't thrilled about that. She had been busy the past week and few days. Jordan and Liz never had a free moment and when they did they usually slept. Their days starting early and ending late as did Hanna's. Hanna thought she would have free time but not even her weekends were that free. Liz and Jordan even had meetings on Saturday. Sundays were spent at the home of their clients who happened to be throwing parties or special gatherings. Luckily, Hanna was never left alone with Jordan. That would end today.
Hanna finished getting Liz ready putting her in a dark green pants suit to die for. Hanna applied minimal make-up on Liz. Hanna styled her hair the way Liz needed it to be styled. Liz's long hair accentuated her looks but didn't deter from the fact that Liz was her own boss. Liz stood and Hanna put on a long silver necklace and a thin bracelet on her wrist. Liz put on the shoes Hanna picked out for her and Hanna told her to face the mirror. Liz smiles.
"Nice job Hanna." Liz says as she grabs her clutch before walking out of the room with her assistant. Hanna sighed as she cleaned up and packed away all the clothes Liz had already worn leaving a dress and accompanying jewelry for the client dinner tonight. One thing Hanna realized, while helping Liz get ready this past week and some days, was that Elizabeth was exceptionally messy and rude. Jordan was the complete opposite and kept his room and belongings clean. Hanna sighed again thinking about the sleep she has missed. After tonight Hanna could sleep late. Maybe she would actually be able to take in the beautiful city of Tokyo tomorrow. Her last day.
Hanna zipped Liz's suitcase before walking out of the door. Hanna returned to her room and quickly walked to her bed before laying down. Hanna hadn't really slept since she has been in Eurasia. Her last conversation with Caleb really rocked her. He made her choose again after all that they promised each other. Hanna loved Caleb but she would never deny that she wasn't pissed at him. Hanna also knew that she may truly hit him if she saw him before she fully calmed down.
Hanna skyped the girls together telling them all that she had seen and done and what souvenirs she was bringing back for them. Emily was hosting a game night at her place with Samara so she had to leave and Aria was going to a play with Fitz in New York. Something about a man and two guvnors. That left Spencer and Hanna.
"Han seriously. You look like you haven't been sleeping. Are you sure you're ok?" Spencer says. Hanna sighs.
"Spence I'm fine. I haven't been sleeping well because of the time difference but other than that I'm ok. I promise." Hanna says.
"Ok . . . So Caleb's back in Philly." Spencer says.
"Good for the asshat." Hanna says as Spencer smirks.
"He wants to talk to you and since you're overseas and changed the sim card in your phone he can't really call you." Spencer says. Hanna rolls her eyes and Spencer laughs. "Hanna you can't be hard on him forever." Spencer says. Hanna's one eyebrow rises and Spencer laughs harder. Hanna joins in with her until the laughter slowly dies down. "Have you been alone with Jordan yet." Spencer asks. Hanna shakes her head and sighs.
"But I'm about to Spence. I have resigned myself to the fact that if something happens between Jordan and I, Caleb will hate me forever and maybe it would be time for me to move on." Hanna says. Spencer smiles at Hanna softly.
"Nice try Han, you almost sounded convincing that time." Spencer says. Hanna smiles softly and then looks down. "Look Han, if something happens between you and Jordan during the last day or two you're with him then Caleb would have to deal with it. He broke up with you and left so he wouldn't hear me and Toby tell him how much of a dumb ass he was being. Obviously, when he talked to Claudia, she also told him how stupid he was being." Spencer says. Hanna shakes her head.
"Doubtful Spence. Claudia isn't a fan of mine. Never has been. She wants more for her son then a girl from divorced parents who wants to work in fashion. She told me as much when we met so long ago." Hanna says. Spencer looks at Hanna in shock.
"She said that to you?" Spencer asks angrily.
"And more but it isn't important." Hanna says.
"Did you ever tell Caleb?" Spencer asks. Hanna shook her head.
"No and that's not why I'm telling you Spencer. He needed his mom in his life just as much as he needed his dad. I wasn't going to mess up his relationship with Claudia like Mona almost did with Jamie." Hanna says as her phone alarm goes off. "Spence, I have to go. I have to get him ready." Hanna says.
"Take care of yourself Han." Spencer says. Hanna smiles at her.
"I will Spence. See you soon." Hanna says as she ends their connection. Hanna gets off her bed, picks up Jordan's room key off the desk and leaves her room.
Jordan hadn't been alone with Hanna, for longer than twenty minutes, since she's been traveling with them. That was changing today. Jordan knew he had to waste time. Liz wanted a one on one conversation with one of their clients and Jordan obliged her. He wasn't needed until midday. Jordan heard the key, the buzz and then the door open. Jordan looked at Hanna. He realized this woman wore heels everywhere. Today she was wearing black and white polka dot slacks that stopped at her ankles. She accompanied the slacks with red stilettos, an off-white blouse and mustard blazer with off-white piping. Her hair was in a bun at the top of her head. Strands of her wavy blonde hair framed her face. Her hair had grown from the time he saw her in California to seeing her at Heathrow over a week ago.
"Good morning Hanna." Jordan says. Hanna smiles at him.
"Good morning Jordan. What color tie do you plan on wearing today?" Hanna asks as she stares at his face. She didn't want to gravitate toward his naked chest and the rock hard abdomen he was sporting. She also didn't want her gaze to further descend to the noticeable, but somewhat slight, bulge he had in his pajama pants.
"Red and mustard." Jordan says amused. He thought he had turned Hanna off but it was obvious she was stopping herself from falling prey to his overpowering masculinity. Hanna walked past him into his bedroom. She returns with three ties. Jordan chooses the one in her right hand and tilts his head.
"You're not with the lucky chap at the moment hence why my half nakedness is affecting you." Jordan says as he smiles at Hanna showing those pearly whites. Hanna looks up at him, opens her mouth to say something but closes it when no sound comes out. There was no point of denying something that was obvious. Hanna looked at Jordan knowing that there were many factors that were making her gravitate towards him. The first and most over powering factor would have to be that she was horny. Due to the fights her and Caleb kept having she hadn't had sex in a month. Which was probably another reason why Caleb had been such a jerk but why have sex when nothing was solved. Two, Jordan was attractive and he smelled really good right now. Three, she actually had fun with Jordan. Lastly, good old four, he gave really good massages. Caleb was better but Caleb in no uncertain terms told Hanna that she wouldn't remain single.
"We had a falling out before I left to come on this two-week business trip. Regardless Jordan I don't mix business with pleasure. That messes up the relationship between me and my client." Hanna says as her breath catches at Jordan's proximity.
"We started with pleasure first, love, before we ever got to business." Jordan says as he kisses Hanna. Hanna's eyes close as she responds and Jordan's arms hold her against him. Jordan's lips move from Hanna's as he smiles. Hanna bites her lip as Jordan grasps her jaw. "Plus, what we might need is one more time before we part ways for a while. No strings attached love, just me bringing you to orgasm and us both enjoying the sex we have right . . .now." Jordan says before claiming Hanna's mouth. He picks her up and takes her into the bedroom where Hanna submits to him exactly how Jordan wanted her to in California.
Hanna would have lied if she said she didn't enjoy the sex she had with Jordan. She did. Her release was exactly what she needed and one thing Hanna had with Jordan was really good sex. Hanna finished packing her bag as she looked at not only her suitcase but the suitcases she brought with her containing Jordan and Liz's outfits. She had to go to California and fix their closets, maybe in April, so their clothes were going back with Hanna. She would get them cleaned and bring them with her when she returned to California.
After Hanna dressed Liz and Jordan for the final time last night she told Jordan that the sex they had earlier that day would be the last time they were intimate. With Jordan remaining her client she couldn't have any more complications in her life. Jordan said he understood but Hanna also saw the disappointment in his eyes. He hoped she would have changed her mind instead of affirming what they discussed after they had sex.
Hanna explained a lot to Jordan including why she couldn't be with him. Jordan's fingers tickled her spine as Hanna laid on top of him.
"It wouldn't be fair to you Jordan and I need you to understand why. I love him and because I love him a relationship with you, or anyone other than him, would be a lie. I can't do that to you and be able to look at myself in the mirror every morning." Hanna says as her cheek rests near Jordan's neck. Hanna sat up and Jordan held her hips.
"I could make you happy and extremely rich Hanna." Jordan says.
"Probably. but if you only had half of me could I really make you happy?" Hanna asks. Jordan sits up, holds on to Hanna and flips on the bed so he was on top of her.
"Enough talk for now. I need you again." Jordan says as Hanna smiles. Jordan opens another condom and for the second time that morning they had sex.
Hanna hears a knock on the door. She looks out and sees the bellhop. She opens the door and he enters walking directly to the luggage and pulling it out of the room. Hanna grabs her hand bag and walks out after the bellhop takes the last bag. Four countries in two weeks. Hanna never imagined she would have done something like this but she made it possible.
Jordan sits in his own seat in first class having bought both seats so he could be by himself. Liz sits across the aisle from him. Jordan looks out the window as he thinks about Hanna. She said something yesterday that no one has ever told him. If you only had half of me could I make you happy. No one had ever asked Jordan how they could make him happy. With all the females he has been with he knew that they didn't care about his happiness. Charlotte Thompson Drake -Harris sure as hell didn't. Neither does Elizabeth Thompson, no matter what Liz tried to convince herself.
Liz looked at Jordan and realized that he was different from two weeks ago. Since CeCe's murder he was more vicious with what he wanted and Liz loved it. He even started having sex with her again like they used to when they were in college together. Before he married CeCe who divorced her first husband to be with him. Liz hated her sister for winning Jordan over her. She didn't hate her enough to kill her but Jordan was remarkably loyal to CeCe that is until he met Hanna. When Jordan told her that he met someone, inwardly, Liz's anger was uncontrollable. Outwardly, Liz asked him if he planned to see her again. CeCe had been cheating on Jordan for months maybe even years. Liz was just buying her time until Jordan turned to her for comfort. Then he went to New York and saw and fucked Hanna; never turning to her until Hanna turned him down and CeCe's murder.
For these past two weeks Jordan didn't have sex with Liz. . . not once. Liz had her fun but Jordan not wanting her because Hanna was around was just too much. She did take her frustrations out on Hanna. Making her work harder, making her buy new pieces, making her buy things for certain clients. Liz made sure they were busy which in turn made Hanna busy. Except for yesterday. Liz knew she was taking a risk wanting to meet the client alone but secretly Liz knew Xi wasn't going to seal any deal without having Liz. The perks of being rich and powerful. Deals had a tendency of being sealed through sex. That risk, it would seem, let Hanna and Jordan have too much alone time. Liz gets up and sits beside Jordan.
"You fucked her didn't you. That's why you are acting so strange." Liz says. Jordan doesn't look at her.
"Maybe, maybe not" Jordan says. His eyes narrowing at the clouds as he thinks of Caleb Rivers. He didn't get what Hanna saw in him. Frankly from what Tristan told him he was a runner. Hanna didn't seem like the type to deal with runners yet she was in love with him.
"I deserve to know if you fucked her Jordan." Jordan looks at Liz sternly.
"You deserve nothing more then what I give you Elizabeth." Jordan says as he grabs her chin roughly. "Should I inform Tristan on how you sealed the deal with Xi. Then again, knowing Tristan, he already knows. Now don't ask me about what I did or did not do with Hanna. That's none of your fucking business." Jordan says through his teeth. "Have a good rest Elizabeth" Jordan says releasing her chin. Liz rubs her chin before moving back to her seat. She looks at Jordan whose gaze is locked on hers. Liz looks away and Jordan smiles before looking out the window thinking of ways to get rid of Caleb from Hanna's life permanently.
Two days of traveling was too much for Hanna. Between the layovers and long flights Hanna was exhausted. Hanna walked to baggage claim slowly. Two weeks away from home, going to four different countries, was a lot. But Hanna didn't regret her decision. This was the opportunity of a lifetime.
When Hanna finally reached baggage claim she was looking around for Lucas. He said he would meet her right here but she didn't see him.
"Where the hell are you Lu?" Hanna says under her breath, the baggage carousel not moving as of yet.
"Hanna" Hanna feels her entire frame freeze at hearing her name. She turns and looks behind her.
"Why are you here Caleb?" Hanna asks before she continues looking around for Lucas.
"I'm here to pick you up Hanna. Lucas is at your boutique." Caleb says as Hanna looks at him.
"Why are you here Caleb." Hanna asks again no deflection in her tone from the last time she asked.
"We need to talk." Caleb says. Hanna shakes her head.
"No Caleb. We have done enough talking. Let's stick with the choice you made for me two weeks ago." Hanna says as the baggage carousel begins moving. Hanna walks towards it and waits for her three bags to arrive. Caleb stands beside her with his hands in his pockets.
"Hanna, I'm not going to leave you alone." Caleb says. Hanna snickers impolitely.
"Oh please Caleb. You left me alone for two weeks and before then for four almost five years. You can leave me alone just fine. It will only be a matter of time before you find someone new." Hanna says as she sees her first suitcase.
Hanna goes for it but Caleb grabs it before she can touch it. Hanna glares at him. Caleb smiles. She crosses her arms and waits for the next two.
"I don't want anyone new." Caleb says, moving into her personal space. Hanna moves away from him.
"That's too bad because I don't want you." Hanna says as she sees the next bag. She goes for it but Caleb just lifts it over her head. He almost laughs this time at Hanna's glare.
"I don't need your help Caleb. I'm more than capable of getting a bag." Hanna says as she sees her final one and Caleb grabs it. Hanna's fists clench as she stomps her stilettoed foot. Caleb actually laughed that time.
"You throw temper tantrums now Han? We've only not been together for two weeks." Caleb says amused as he rents a baggage carrier, places Hanna's suitcases on them and begins walking to the door.
"I don't want to go anywhere with you. Call Lucas and tell him to come get me." Hanna says defiantly.
"Nope" Caleb says as he keeps walking.
"Then call Spencer! You should have her number memorized." Caleb laughs.
"Let's go Hanna you're causing a scene and scaring the little children." Caleb says. Hanna glared at the back of his head. Caleb, feeling Hanna's glare, just smiles before whistling.
Caleb reaches his jeep and starts putting Hanna's bags in the car. He sees Hanna sitting on a bus bench with her legs crossed. Caleb smirks.
"You ride busses now Han." Caleb yells towards her.
"I plan to sleep here tonight unless you call Lucas, Emily, Toby, Spencer . . . anybody but you to come and get me." Hanna says. Caleb just laughs and slams his trunk.
"I don't know babe. The last time there was a threat of sleeping on a bus bench you gave me your virginity in a tent in the woods. If you want us to make love you can just tell me instead of making threats to sleep on a bus bench." Caleb says. Hanna almost smiled at the memory; key word being almost. Hanna knew of a way to get rid of Caleb.
"I had sex with Jordan in Japan. Now will you call someone to get me." Hanna says glaring at Caleb. Caleb sighs and then smiles.
"Nope. Let's go or we're camping out for me to reclaim your body all over again." Caleb says. Hanna stands and rests her hands on her hips.
"Did you hear what I said? I had sex with Jordan. I fucked Jordan." Hanna says. Caleb walks towards her.
"Oh I heard you Hanna, clearly. I had sex with a girl in California while I was there visiting Claudia and I did meet up with Miranda and one thing led to another until we were vertical. Regardless, none of that changes the fact that I'm not leaving you again. So either we are camping out or I'm going to throw you over my shoulder and put you in my jeep myself. What will it be princess?" Caleb asks. Hanna's glare intensifies. Caleb's smile grows wider at her defiance. Hanna moves to sit down. Caleb laughs as he literally puts her over his shoulder whistling as he walks. Hanna screams before pounding Caleb on his back.
"Let me go Caleb! Damn it! LET ME GO!" Hanna screams before Caleb put her in the passenger side of the jeep and quickly closes the door. Hanna's arm crosses in front of her chest as gets in the driver's seat. Caleb buckles up and starts driving before looking at a livid Hanna.
"Buckle up princess." Caleb says. Hanna turns and narrows her eyes.
"If you call me princess again I'm going to rip out your tongue and feed it to you." Hanna says angrily. Caleb's lip twitches.
"I would love to see you try . . . princess. By the way I love it when you talk dirty to me." Caleb says as he continues driving. Hanna closes her eyes and begins inhaling and exhaling. "Are you pregnant Han because it sounds like you're doing Lamaze." Caleb says as Hanna punches him in his arm. Caleb laughs as he rubs his arm. He taught her that punch and it still hurt even now.
"Stop TALKING!" Hanna yells. Caleb is quiet for a second before he starts talking again.
"No seriously, are you pregnant? I promise I'll be a good dad." Caleb says humorously.
"Yep, I sure am and its Jordan's" Hanna says as Caleb smirks.
"Doubtful babe." Caleb says as he continues driving.
"Why are you so sure?" Hanna says.
"Because the only person you don't use condoms with is me." Caleb says.
"You sure about that." Hanna says. Caleb's cockiness was irritating her. Caleb exits about ten exists before he needed to and drives to a new subdivision. He parks in front of a house before getting out of the jeep. He walks towards Hanna's door and turns her to face him.
"I'm positive that I'm the only person you don't use condoms with just how you know you are the only woman I have never protected myself from. When we make love Hanna I give you everything. We used protection in high school to not have any unplanned pregnancies but once we moved in together I never used a condom and you never asked me to." Caleb says straightforwardly.
"You're full of yourself." Hanna says annoyed. Hanna was irritated not only at Caleb but her body's pull to him.
"I can be when I'm not being an asshole or jealous over things you can't prevent." Caleb says as Hanna's eyes search his.
"Who are you?" Hanna asks, leaving the bitch behind her for the moment.
"A man that realized what a jackass he was to you before you left. And, while he was alone on a California beach and in his apartment on a snow filled weekend in Philadelphia thinking about you, realized he can't live another day without you." Caleb says his lips inches from hers.
"You could have just said Caleb." Hanna says semi-breathlessly at Caleb's proximity.
