Hanna opened the door to find Caleb looking even better than earlier that day, in her opinion. Caleb's hair was swept to the side and he smelt of cologne which was pleasant; not to overpowering. "Hey, you ready?" Caleb said "Yep" Hanna replied before stepping outside her room and shutting the door. "So what have you been up to today?" Caleb asked Hanna as they made their way to the 'Tidepools' "well nothing much, I just went for a massage and then had a nap before getting ready" Hanna replied, a small smile spread across her face as he looked at her in such a caring way. "The massage sounds nice, how was it?' Caleb asked, not taking his eyes of Hanna. "I enjoyed it, it was nice and relaxing" Hanna stated as they entered the lift. "Sounds amazing, maybe I should go for one sometime" Caleb said, smirking at Hanna.
It wasn't long before they had reached the ground floor and were making their way outside to the 'Tidepools' restaurant. "Wow" Hanna said as she inhaled deeply, she had never seen something as beautiful in her entire life. "Beautiful isn't it?" Caleb said as he looked Hanna deeply in the eyes, taking in everything about her, from the way she smiled to the way her eyes lit up at the sight of where they would be dining that night. They continued to walk down the path, through the perfectly lit gardens until they reached the restaurant, it was located on the edge of the resort; the restaurant was a series of Thatched-roof bungalows that were floating above a koi-filled lagoon at the base of a waterfall. The pair stood to admire the koi filled lagoon and were completely blown away, neither of them had expected to be eating at a place remotely beautiful as this. `
Caleb decided that they should probably enter the restaurant as he has made a reservation for 7:30 and it was already 7:25. Hanna followed Caleb's lead and waked into the restaurant. "Hi there how may I help you sir" the friendly host said to Caleb, "I have a reservation for 2 at 7:30, under the name Rivers" Caleb said as Hanna was taking in the experience. "Yes we have a reservation under that name, please take a seat at any table that you like" said the host as he pointed out the vast number of empty tables for the pair to choose from. "Take your pick" Caleb said to Hanna as she gazed at all of the possibilities, "Um this one?" Hanna said, unsure if Caleb would agree. "Perfect" Caleb replied as Hanna led the way. She has chosen a table right on the edge of the pontoon (floating island) so that they could overlook the lagoon and the waterfall was also in perfect sight.
They were sitting at the table for a few minutes in comfortable silence, before a waiter came over and handed them each a menu. Hanna scanned the menu, occasionally glancing at Caleb to which he would give a small smile in return. Caleb was still looking at the menu when he asked Hanna "Have you seen anything that's caught your eye" referring to the menu. "Not yet" Hanna said as she continued to look over the menu, unable to come to a decision. A few minutes later the waiter re-appeared at their table and asked them if they were ready to place their orders, "Could I have the 'Hawaiian Catch cold water lobster' please, with a glass of 'Chateau Montelena' please" Caleb said as he placed the menu back down on the table. "Could I have the 'Butter Poached Lobster' please, with a glass of 'Napa Cellars' please" Hanna said as she studied the wine list. "Sure the food will take about 30 minutes but I will bring the drinks over straight away" the waiter said as he made his way back to the hostess desk to place the order into the system and to pour the drinks.
"So tell me more about yourself" Hanna said to Caleb as he had learned a bit about Hanna over breakfast but she hadn't really had a chance to find out much about him. "Like what?" Caleb asked with a playful grin in his face, Hanna could tell he was flirting but she didn't mind; in fact she liked it. "I'll trade you, we each take it in turns to ask each other a question about ourselves and in return then we both must answer the question honestly?" Hanna said with a little flirtatiousness to her voice. "Deal, I'll go first" Caleb said but before Caleb could continue the waiter brought over their drinks, with a simple "Thank you" from Hanna he had left the couple to be on their own again "How old are you?" " 24" Hanna replied , " 25" Caleb said as he was surprised that there was only a year age gap between them , at least that gave himself a chance Caleb thought to himself. "Where were you born?" Hanna asked "California" Caleb said, "Florida" Hanna said. "What inspired you to work in fashion?" Caleb asked Hanna, he felt like he was only just touching the surface and he wanted to dig deeper and find out more about Hanna in detail, not petti questions like, her age and where she was born. "Hey that's not fair we are both meant to have to answer the same question!" Hanna said with a hint of sass in her voice, "Well we can't both have the exact same life so I wanted to get to know a bit about yours; don't worry princess you'll get your turn" Caleb said in what Hanna considered to be a sexy voice. "Fine" Hanna replied while letting out a long sigh, "I was always interested in fashion from an early age but I didn't really think that it was what I wanted to pursue as a career but when I was 16 I got a job in a local fashion boutique and from then on my interest for fashion developed. When it was time to go to college I decided to pursue a career in fashion and I haven't looked back since" Hanna said, feeling proud of herself. "Wow sound like you had it all planned" Caleb said as he let out a short laugh. "What and you didn't?" Hanna said interested in how Caleb became an interior designer. "Nope I really had no idea about what I was going to do but in the summer before collage I took an internship for an interior design company as I thought that it was something that I could try out. I started to really enjoy it and I was getting great feedback from my employer and once my summer internship was over she suggested that I should go to FIT and take a degree in Interior Design, so I did and that's basically how I ended up working in Interior Design." Caleb said with a confidant look on his face. "Impressive Rivers" Hanna said while raising her eyebrows.
They were soon interrupted by the arrival of their food, "Thank you" they both said in unison before taking a sip of their wine and beginning their meal. "I have to say that you look absolutely stunning tonight" Caleb said as he stopped eating and looked Hanna directly in the eyes to see if they were giving any sign away but nothing , maybe she was just good at hiding it Caleb thought. "Thank you, you don't look to bad yourself" Hanna said giving Caleb an eyebrow raise and a smirk; it was true she was impressed by his sense of fashion, he managed to be perfectly dressed for each occasion they had encountered so far.
For the rest of the main course they enjoyed simple small talk and shared a number of loving glances. The waiter approached their table, noticing that the couple had finish their meals and said "Would you like to order desert?" Caleb looked at Hanna before she replied "Mmm yes please". "Then what would you like? Pick anything; it's on me princess" Caleb said while scanning the menu, Hanna's cheeks blush a furious shade of pink at him using the nickname 'Princess'. "You wanna share?" Hanna asked in a sexy tone, "Of course, you pick" Caleb said, slightly blushing himself. "Well then could we have one 'Seasonal Fruit Plate' and one of the 'Chocolate Fondue platter' please?" Hanna said to the waiter as she beamed at Caleb.
"Sooo?" Caleb said looking at Hanna with a spark in his eyes "Sooo?" Hanna replied in a seductive tone. "What's your dream vacation destination?" Caleb asked while taking a sip of his second glass of wine. "I would love to go to Paris, I mean it is up there in the fashion world and just it looks so beautiful and the food and wine there is amazing; from what I've heard" Hanna said while holding Caleb's gaze. "What about you Mr. Rivers?" Hanna asked, playfully calling him by his second name "London has always been high on my list, you know; I would love to experience the London eye and maybe do a guided tour or something" Caleb replied.
The food had just been placed on the table when Hanna felt a flutter in her stomach, she could feel that she was connecting with Caleb and that to her was a nice feeling. Caleb leaned in and stabbed a piece of pineapple with his skewer and dipped it in the chocolate before slowly eating it; causing even more sexual tension between himself and Hanna. Hanna was aware of this so she decided to lean forward slightly on the table, giving Caleb a slightly more exposed view of her breasts; to which he let out a quiet moan. Hanna leaned over the table to take a piece of kiwi from the plate but Caleb was watching her and did the same thing. Their hands brushed past each other's as they both choice a small piece of kiwi to dip into the luxurious chocolate. "How long are you staying here for?" Hanna asked Caleb as she took a sip of her wine; from her near empty glass. "3 weeks" Caleb replied "what about you, staying long?" Caleb asked Hanna as he ate another piece of fruit. "2 weeks" Hanna said, interested that she would be able to spend a bit more time with Caleb before her vacation was over.
The next 45 minutes were filled with laughter and they enjoyed an in depth conversation about what they like to do in their spare time, work and family. As their evening progressed they learned more about each other and were becoming comfortable in each other's company. By this point of the meal the fondue was nearly finished and the wine glasses only containing a few more sips. Hanna went in to get the last piece of strawberry and smothered it in the chocolate, before hastily eating it. Caleb noticed a smear of chocolate in the corner of Hanna's mouth and without thinking he lent forward and wiped it off with his thumb before liking the chocolate of it "mmm" he moaned while looking at Hanna; who was just staring at him, admiring all of his features. Hanna let out a smirk and a gentle laugh, the waiter returned and collected the plates that were now empty. "Could I have the bill please?" Caleb asked as he drank what was left of his wine.
5 minutes later the waiter arrived at the table with the bill and Caleb proceeded to pay with his card. After ten minutes or so they decided that they should probably head back as it was already 10:30 pm, Caleb stood up and they went round to Hanna's side of the table and helped her to do the same. Hanna was impressed at the fact that he was a proper gentleman, Hanna shivered a bit as the temperature had dropped significantly since they had begun their meal. Noticing this Caleb took his jacket from the back of his chair and instead of putting it on, he offered it to Hanna "Are you sure? Wont you get cold, I mean it's a bit of a walk back to the hotel" Hanna stated to Caleb as she didn't want him to freeze." I'll be fine , I mean I'm wearing jeans and a shirt and you are in a gorgeous dress but it's quite short ; Caleb smiled before saying "And your blazer isn't exactly going to keep you warm" Caleb replied with a gentle voice. Caleb took his jacket as Hanna held her arms out, letting him slip it onto her small body." Thank you" Hanna said as she took her clutch from the table and then wrapped the jacket around her body; she thought it looked better that way , rather than done up.
They slowly made their way out of the restaurant, making sure that they were staying close to each other. They could both feel the sexual tension between themselves rising but neither of them were sure how to break it. "Do you wanna go for a walk?" Caleb said "sure" Hanna replied, they both knew that they could just go back to their rooms at the hotel; but to be honest they were both enjoying each other's company. As they made their way around the path that surrounded the koi pond their hands kept brushing adding more fuel to the already burning fire that they both felt inside. Caleb noticed that Hanna was thinking about something "Hey you ok?' he asked, concerned about her. "Umm" Hanna replied, not knowing what to say. "You wanna talk about it" Caleb asked, wanting to help Hanna as her already cared about her more than he could have imagined. "Well a few weeks ago my grandma passed away and I can't stop thinking about her" Hanna said with a distressed tone in her voice. Caleb found himself reaching his hand up the back of His jacket that Hanna was wearing he started to slowly rub the smooth skin that was left exposed by the back of Hanna's dress ; in an attempt to sooth her. Hanna felt safe with Caleb and that was a strange feeling for her as she had never really experienced it during her few relationships that she had had. "I'm here for you, I know that we haven't really known each other that long but I want to offer my support, I lost my dad a couple of years ago and it hit me hard too" Caleb said with a tear in his eye. "Thank you, it means a lot" Hanna replied as she lent back across Caleb's arm that was sill gently rubbing her back. They had nearly reached the hotel when Caleb could sense that Hanna was feeling a little down he decided to give her a gentle squeeze with the arm that was still resting against her back. This meant that Hanna was pulled even closer to Caleb but she didn't mind, it was I times like this that she really needed someone to be there for her and she was glad that Caleb was.
The pair were now entering the lobby of the hotel, they were not really looking forward to letting each other go but they knew that they would have to one they reach the second floor ; so that they could depart and go to their separate rooms. They made their way to the elevator, neither of them saying a word but somehow still being there for each other and that meant something to both of them. The elevator doors opened and they made their way inside, with Caleb's arm still holding Hanna close. The elevator made a noise signaling that they had reached the second floor; the doors slid open and thy both stepped out into the hallway. With Hanna in an emotional state and Caleb not feeling entirely himself , Caleb didn't want to part ways with Hanna but he didn't want to push anything either; they had had a great meal and a really great evening filled with discussion about everything really but Caleb didn't want to end the night like this. Hanna was feeling a bit down after her chat with Caleb on the way back to the hotel and although she didn't want to admit to Caleb that she really needed him. They arrived at Hanna's room, they both just stood there not wanting to leave each other. Hanna was feeling really emotional and insecure so she took as step closer to Caleb to indicate how she was feeling. Caleb noticed how Hanna's mood had shifted and the fact that she looked empty and upset was enough in Caleb's mind to warrant what he was going to do next...
