It was now one o'clock in the afternoon, it had been a few hours since Hanna and Caleb's talk over breakfast. Hanna was beginning to wonder if she would meet up with Caleb at all, until she received a text to Hanna's surprise it was Caleb, she read the text.
'Dinner at Tidepools? x'.
Hanna was feeling a bit happier now that she knew that Caleb actually wanted to see her again and he had also picked the most romantic restaurant on the resort was this a sign?. Hanna immediately sent a text.
'What time? Should I meet you there? x'.
She wasn't sure what reply she would get but before she could think her phone pinged.
'Pick you up from your room at 7? x'.
Hanna gave out a huge grin before replying.
'Can't wait see you then xx'.
Meanwhile Caleb was relaxing on his bed in his room staring at the ceiling, just thinking about later that night; he wanted to get to now Hanna and he wanted to feel comfortable with her. In Caleb's mind he was hoping that their new found friendship would turn into something more but only time would tell.
Hanna thought that a spa treatment might help to calm her nerves, so she picked up the booklet that she he requested from reception the day before and began looking through it. It wasn't long before Hanna had chosen to go for the 'Anara massage 50' which was described as 'A personalized massage that allows your therapist to address imbalances, inducing relaxation and a profound sense of lokahi (harmony)'.
Hanna made her way down to the spa ready for her appointment at 2pm, once she had got there she was shown into a private room;where she was directed to get changed into nothing but a white robe that she had been given upon entering the spa complex.
She enjoyed the massage and was glad that she decided to go, as it definitely relaxed her. She then decided to return to her room to have a nap before her dinner date with Caleb later that day.
Caleb had decided that he was going to explore what the resort had to offer, with numerous restaurants and bars along with a vast number of treatments and activities; he was sure that he would find something to pass the time with. He had decided to try a few holes of Golf as he was conscious about maintaining a good body image and he thought that the Golf would provide him with some exercise.
At 5.30pm Hanna thought that it was about time that she should start getting ready, so she grabbed a quick shower to refresh herself. Once she was done with her shower, Hanna wrapped herself in her robe and started to curl her hair.
After she had finished doing her hair she started applying her make-up, she had chosen to go for a neutral look; with her having a good skincare routine she didn't have to bother applying any foundation so she just applied some blusher to give her cheeks a pink hue. Then she applied some eyeliner and a neutral eye shadow and to add a pop of colour, she decided to wear a 'MAC' lipstick in the shade 'Love Goddess' to give her lips a hit of colour but not too much.
Once her make-up was complete she slipped into her favorited black dress which was accented with a lace bodice and an open back; it was fairly short but she wanted to be a little daring. To complete the look Hanna had decided to wear a pair of black Jimmy Choo's that had a touch of rose gold on the heels.
After she had finished getting ready Hanna's phone rang, it was Aria who was a friend of hers from New York. "Hey" Hanna said as she answered the call,
"Hey" Aria replied in her sweet chirpy voice.
"So what's been happening with you since I've been away?" Hanna asked, interested to see what she was missing out on back home.
"Oh nothing much, you know same old work stuff really" Aria said as she sat at her desk typing an email.
"Any hot dates with Fitz?" Hanna asked; she was referring to Arias fiance Ezra Fitz, who was 5 years older than Aria; Hanna found it a bit strange, never the less Aria was happy and that was all that Hanna cared about.
"No, he's been working in California on some kind of big deal for his publishing company" Aria replied with little enthusiasm in her voice.
"Don't worry Hun he will be back in like a few days" Hanna replied as she took a sip of her ice tea, which she was drinking while sitting out on the balcony outside her room in the pleasant heat.
"Yeah I suppose, anyway any news on the romantic front from you?" Aria asked intrigued as to what Hanna had been up to since she left New York a few days ago.
"Well I'm not sure really, I'm having dinner with this guy tonight but I'm not sure whether you would call it a date?" Hanna stated with an optimistic tone to her voice.
"So what's his name?" Aria inquired, probing to get more information from Hanna about this mystery guy.
"Caleb... well Caleb Rivers if you want his full name" Hanna said cheerfully.
"Well what's Caleb like" Aria asked wanting to know all the details about Hanna's date, well that's what she considered it to be but Hanna seemed to describe it more like a meeting.
"Well he's really tanned, muscular but not too much, about 5'11 which is perfect, not too tall" Hanna practically drooled while rambling on while visioning Caleb.
"Wow Han looks like you're describing your dream guy" Aria said with a hint of jealousy in her voice but of course she already had her own dream man.
Hanna let out a small chuckle before replying "Not to mention, from what I've seen he also has good fashion sense, which only makes him more attractive in my eyes".
Aria was surprised about how much Hanna liked Caleb already. "Well I better go I have to finish sending a few emails regarding work, oh have fun on your d-a-t-e" Aria teased, making sure she emphasised the word date to Hanna.
"Ok well I will let you know how my d-a-t-e goes" Hanna made sure she said the word date in a seductive way, to make Aria laugh.
"Bye Han" Aria chirped before she hung up, Hanna was starting to get excited about her 'Date'.
Caleb checked the time on his phone and was surprised to see that he only had 10 minutes before he had to collect Hanna from her room. He checked his appearance in the mirror one last time; he was wearing a dark purple short sleeved 'Ralph Lauren' shirt, a pair of black shorts as it was far too hot to wear any kind of jeans and he had chosen to wear a pair of black slip on 'Vans'.
He then proceeded to put on a black bomber jacket so that he wouldn't get to cold, as the temperature dropped significantly by around 8pm. Before he left his room he picked up his wallet from the end of his bed and placed it in his pocket , he unlocked his phone and decided to send Hanna a quick text.
Hanna was just putting on her simple but cosy cropped black blazer when she felt her phone vibrate from inside her clutch that she was carefully holding in one hand. She took the phone out her bag and looked at the screen, it was a text from Caleb that simply read.
'On my way x'
Before she could reply there was a soft knock at the door, she took a final look at herself in the mirror and adjusted her dress before she made her way to the door.
Authors note:
Thank you to everyone who has Favorited, followed and reviewed this story so far. I am having so much fun writing this I just love Hanna and Caleb together. I'm not sure how many chapters this story will be or where it's going just yet but I have a few ideas. As for updates, I plan on updating this story around once possibly twice a week if I have enough time as I have a lot of coursework and exams coming up. I will upload the next chapter within the next few days, I hope that this chapter is ok , I know nothing much happened and there was no Hanna and Caleb interaction but there will be a lot of that in the next one. I am trying to give you some background information about Hanna and Caleb as well as telling the story so this chapter is more of a filler but it's still important. I also plan on introducing more of the characters from the show, such as Emily, Alison, Ezra, Ashley, Ted, Claudia etc. to help build the story and add more to the storyline .Don't worry though as it will still be a Haleb focused story but I thought that I should introduce some more characters that people are familiar with but I will probably portray them differently in this story.
