"Spencer. Spencer. Spencer. Pick the god damn phone up. Aria is in Iceland, can't call her, Emily is in Texas, can't call her, cause she don't have no reception. Pick up you bitch." Hanna said into her phone, leaving a voice mail for Spencer. Hanna groaned, frustrated, while Caleb laughed.
"She's probably just listening to these on repeat and just laughing." Caleb said, smiling.
"Shut up, and odds are, Toby and her are having a sex session on his couch."
He laughed again. "Oh my god. Probably."
"Pick up Spencer." Hanna shouted into the phone, and then hung up. "I'm not giving up, I need to tell someone, because, I might die from happiness." She dialled Spencer's number again, and left another voice mail, but to no avail, Spencer didn't pick up, again.
"Try later tonight."
"Poor innocent Caleb."
"More like not so innocent, and poor would've worked better around about two years ago." He said, and she laughed. Her phone started to ring, and Hanna picked it up immediately.
"Spencer Hastings. Do you know how many times I have tried to call you?" Hanna shouted.
"Yes, fifty two times. And merry Christmas to you too Hanna." Spencer said, and Caleb laughed. "Anyways what's up?"
"Dude, you didn't pick up any of my calls, what's up with you?"
"Nothing."
"Yeah, because you nonchalantly just miss fifty two of my calls. Were you doing your boyfriend?" Hanna asked.
"Yeah, he's in the shower, so speak, while I have time."
"What are you wearing?"
"Um, his shirt, and before you say anything else, we both know, that if you two weren't in California, you would be doing the exact same thing."
"Where are you?"
"Ah, well, you know, the Hastings are in England minus me, so I'm spending the next week at the loft with Toby."
"That'll be fun, slut." Hanna joked.
Spencer laughed. "Anyways, he's in the shower, so tell me why you called me fifty two times."
"Right, well, I got a Christmas present from Caleb, and I am going to London in the summer, and I needed to tell you, because you have to restrict me from shopping, so I don't waste money, cause I need about five thousand for London."
"Oh my god, Hanna that's amazing. And, I think that you will need more than five thousand, and barely anything in your suitcase."
"Yeah, Spence, that is why I need you, you can't let me go shopping, for like three months before the trip."
"Okay, and I know that you'll be intent of doing that, so yeah. Oh, and how did Caleb like the underwear?"
"He loved it. How'd Toby like his?"
"Depending its on the floor in the kitchen after we have just sex, I think he quite likes them."
"Told you you dirty slut." Hanna joked, and Caleb and Spencer both laughed.
"You know Aria went to Iceland."
"Yeah."
"She went to Iceland with Ezra, Mike and Ella."
"Oh my god, seriously?"
"Yeah, she texted me last night, saying my Mum invited Ezra, we're both freaking out." Spencer said.
"Tell her to wear the underwear, that'll help." Hanna said. "And Spencer Hastings." She said.
"What?"
"The kitchen, wow."
"Oh, yeah, I'm sure you and Caleb haven't done it on the kitchen counter."
"Remind me when I'm over there not to touch it."
Spencer laughed. "Yeah, anyways, gotta go, Tobes is out the shower."
"Enjoy your sex for the next week."
"Bye Hanna."
"Bye Spence." Hanna said, before hanging up. "I told someone, I'm happy." Hanna said, collapsing on Caleb's lap, who was sitting on a big chair in the kitchen.
He laughed, and gently kissed her lips. "I love you." He whispered, kissing her temple.
"I love you too." Hanna whispered, kissing his nose.
"Hello." James said, sitting opposite the couple.
"Hello. How are you?" Hanna asked.
"I'm good, you fell over ice skating." The young boy said laughing. Caleb laughed.
"Well, I have no sports ability whatsoever."
"You've got that right." Caleb said.
"How long have you been dating?" James asked.
"Over two years." Caleb said, smiling.
"That's a long time. Do you get bored of each other?"
Hanna and Caleb laughed. "No, we don't." Hanna said.
"How?"
"She just keeps surprising me, and I love her to bits." Caleb said, kissing her temple. Hanna smiled, and blushed.
…
"I'm tired." Hanna yawned at eleven in the evening. "Ugh it's two my time." Another flash of lighting sounded, and Hanna flinched.
"It's okay, you're safe." Caleb whispered in her ear, and she nodded.
"Don't like thunder storms?" Claudia asked.
"Hate them." Hanna said, blowing on her cup of coffee so she didn't burn her tongue when she sipped some. Raising the cup to her lips, she took a large gulp. "What room am I sleeping in?"
"The guest room next to Caleb's." Claudia said. "The door's open."
"Kay thank you." Hanna said, getting up off Caleb's lap. She kissed his lips. "Night babe."
"Night princess. I love you." Caleb said, watching her walk to the door of the kitchen.
"I love you too." Hanna called out, and Hanna went upstairs to her room. "Just to let you know, there's a good chance she might come into my room to get to sleep. She can't sleep when there's thunder storms." He said to his mother.
"Being scared of thunder storms is one thing, not falling asleep in them, is another." Claudia said. "What happened that made her not able to fall asleep in them?"
"Her and her best friends were having a sleepover that night, Hanna's best friend went missing. She was missing for a year before she was found, but she wasn't alive. Alison, that was her name, she was murdered that night. She was buried alive and a shovel or something had hit her on the head. That's all I know, apart from the fact, that when there is a thunder storm, I have to come over to her house."
"And do you mind doing that?"
"No, not at all, just want her to feel safe." Caleb said.
"Well, that's very sweet of you, Caleb."
…
Hanna walked out of her room, breathing heavily, and walked to Caleb's room. Opening the door, she walked in, shutting it behind her. Walking over to Caleb's bed, she shook him awake.
"Caleb." Hanna whispered.
"Get in." Caleb murmured, moving over, and opening his arms. Hanna got under the covers, and Caleb wrapped his arms around Hanna, pulling her close to him. "You're safe baby." He whispered.
"Thank you." Hanna whispered, and he kissed her temple before the couple fell into a peaceful slumber.
…
"Thank you for doing that last night." Hanna whispered, running her pointer finger over his cheek.
"Doing what?" Caleb whispered back.
"Letting me sleep with you."
"Han, you know I don't mind." He paused, before continuing. "What was your nightmare about?"
"I don't want to say."
"Han, you know I don't like pushing you, but Doctor Sullivan said it would be good if you talked to me, talked to anyone, about them."
"Okay, it was the night she was murdered, and I was watching her get murdered, but the person who murdered her was you." Hanna whispered, biting her lip. "I want them to stop."
"And, they will, over time. We just have to be patient."
"I love you."
"I love you too." Caleb said, giving her a chaste kiss, but was soon interrupted by Clay.
"Ewww." Clay said, and Hanna pulled away, and laughed when Caleb rolled his eyes.
"Yes, Clay?" Caleb asked.
"Its breakfast. Girls have cooties." The young boy said before running away. Hanna and Caleb laughed, and Caleb kissed her again, but Hanna pulled away.
"Don't want to get cooties." Hanna said before getting up, and stretching. He moaned. "What?"
"I love you in my shirt." Caleb said, and she smiled.
"Well, I love you out your shirt." She paused. "Come on. I want to have breakfast. I'm hungry."
"Kay, come on." Caleb said, getting up. Hanna looked at his abs. "Like what you see, huh?" He asked.
"Yep." Hanna said, before leaving the room.
…
A giggle escaped Caleb, making Will, Claudia, Clay, James, and Hanna look at him. "It's her fault." Caleb said pointing to Hanna.
"I put my hand on your chest." Hanna said, smiling.
"No, you put your hand on my bullet scar. It still tickles."
Hanna laughed. "That's cute."
"You were shot." James said, and Caleb nodded. "Was it awesome?"
"It hurt." Caleb said. "A lot."
"How did you get shot?" Clay asked.
"Someone shot me."
"Why did you get shot?" James asked, and Caleb looked at Hanna, silently asking her if it was okay to tell. She nodded, and held his hand.
"Our friend, Emily, had killed someone in self-defence, the person she killed, wasn't safe, he wasn't who Hanna and her friends thought he was. I went to the place where Emily was, and I got shot."
"Who was he?" Clay asked, and once again Caleb looked at Hanna. She sighed.
"He was a bad person, and he did something bad." Hanna said.
"What did he do?" James asked, thinking that it was pretty cool.
"He killed someone I knew."
"How?" Clay asked.
"I don't know." Hanna said, blinking back the tears, talking about her other dead best friend. Caleb squeezed her hand, and kissed the top of her head. "But that's for the best."
"Anyways, what shall we do today?" Claudia asked, changing the subject. Hanna and Caleb shrugged, while Clay and James looked outside.
"Sledging." Clay said, somehow, even with the rain, the snow had survived.
"You up for sledging?" Caleb asked Hanna who nodded.
"Let's do it." Hanna said.
…
"Ooh Han." Caleb said, laughing. She'd just went down on her sledge, and went over three bumps in the hill.
"Oh my god." Hanna said, getting up from her sledge. "My bum hurts."
"Depending you went over three bumps in the ground." He smiled, wrapping an arm around her shoulders. "And I would kiss it better, but..." He trailed off, and she blushed.
"Shut up."
He kissed her temple. "You're like, really good at sledging."
"I know, I almost went into the pond. If I did you'd be jumping in to get me out."
"I'd let you freeze."
"Yeah, but remember my deal. If I come down, you're coming down with me."
"And, that has many different meanings, and I like one of them a lot."
"We'll be doing that one the day we get back to Rosewood."
"I'll be excited to do that."
"Of course you will." Hanna said, and then collapsed on the snow at the top off the hill.
"What's on your head?" Clay asked, and Caleb and Hanna laughed.
"It's a hat."
"But it's not covering your head." James said, and Caleb laughed.
"I told you it's not a hat." Caleb said, laughing, and pulling Hanna up into a standing position.
"Sledge, I wanna race James." Clay said, and Hanna gave Clay her sledge.
"There you go sweetie." Hanna said, and turned her attention back to Caleb. "Yours is barely a hat either."
"Don't pretend you don't like my beanie." Caleb said, and kissed her lips softly, and grabbed her waist, pulling her closer. She pulled away, and kissed his nose. "What about your sledge?"
"I'm sure we can fit on one together." Hanna said, grabbing Caleb's sledge. Caleb laughed, as she got on first. "Fit your ass on." She said, and Caleb got on behind her, wrapping his arms around her waist. He pressed his lips to the top of her head, and soon enough they were gliding down the hill.
"I definitely like that version of sledging." Caleb whispered in Hanna's ear once they were on flat ground. Hanna giggled.
"I do too." Hanna said, and got up.
"Definitely like the view as well." He said, looking at her ass.
Hanna blushed, and kissed Caleb gently on the lips. "Shut up, and like, that hurt my bum even more." Hanna whined, and he laughed.
"Well, it's still cute." Caleb said, kissing her temple, as they climbed the hill.
"You won't be saying that tomorrow when it's swollen and bruised." Hanna said. "Why can't sledges have pillows?"
Caleb laughed. "I think we found a new business idea."
"That's your business idea, I've got two."
"I know one of them, is to open up your own store, what's the second?" Caleb asked, and Hanna smiled.
"Well, from the money I get from my store, I'm gonna get a group of scientists together, and see if I can make a non-permanent tattoo."
"They already do those."
"Ah, they do. But, real tattoos, if you get them, because they're a fashion statement, they will soon go out of style, so, you'll get the tattoo you want, but after three months, it will fade."
"It's like you're a business woman."
"Oh, I'm in progress baby." Hanna said, laughing, and he laughed.
…
"I always win at monopoly." Hanna said to Caleb.
"Is that why we've never played it?" Caleb asked her.
"Yeah, I used to play it with my Nana all the time when she came over, and I always won."
"Okay, we're playing that, I always win." Clay said.
"Let's do it." Hanna said. "Get ready to lose."
"It must be opposite day." Clay said, and they laughed.
"In your dreams, sweetie."
…
"You're good." Hanna said to Clay.
"Like I don't know." Clay said, and she laughed.
…
"Caleb. You do the maths, you're a scientist." Claudia said, walking away to do dinner. Hanna laughed.
"Thanks mum." Caleb said. "Han, you're helping."
"Fine," Hanna said, and then half an hour later, the young couple had finished the scores. "You're fourth, baby, well done." Hanna said, patting Caleb's head. He chuckled, and kissed her temple.
"Who's first?" James asked.
"Someone called Hanna." Caleb said, and Clay took the cards, and did some calculations on the paper.
"How'd you win?" Clay asked looking at Hanna.
"I'm just amazing." Hanna said, smiling.
"Damn it." Clay said, frowning.
"At least you didn't come fourth like Caleb did."
"Where did I come?"
"Second. You were off twenty." Caleb said, and Clay sighed. "You a sore loser buddy?"
"I came second, you're more like a loser." Clay said.
They laughed. "Thanks Clay." Caleb said, and Hanna rested her head on his arm. "Your bum better?" He asked Hanna who started laughing.
"Yes, thank god, this seat has a cushion." Hanna said, and he laughed.
…
"What movie?" Claudia asked.
"Jungle book." Clay and James said at the same time, and Caleb groaned.
"What's wrong with the jungle book?" Hanna asked him.
"I'm eighteen." Caleb said.
"So am I." Hanna said.
"Yeah, but, its Disney."
"Yeah, have you seen it before?"
"No."
"Exactly, so shut up, and watch the movie." Hanna said, and Caleb laughed. "It's a great movie, Caleb."
"Okay, I'll shut up." He said, smiling.
…
"You're singing along." Caleb whispered in Hanna's ear. She was singing along to Bear Necessities.
"And?" Hanna whispered back, smiling.
"It's cute."
She smiled. "Well, when you know the lyrics off by heart, it's kinda hard not to." Hanna whispered. He gently pressed his lips to her temple, as she snuggled deeper into his embrace.
…
"What movie?" Caleb asked Hanna.
"The hunger games." Hanna said.
"Is it bad?" Claudia asked.
"Not that bad." Hanna said.
"Oh my god! Tell me what happens in the end or I might not be able to watch it." Claudia said, at the point where they were at the reaping.
"They both live, it's just dramatic." She paused. "Very dramatic."
"Do they hook up or something?"
"Not gonna say."
"Oh my god, I might die from the stress." Claudia said, and Caleb and Hanna laughed. Will, James and Clay were in bed. "I don't know, but I think we can fit one more movie in." She said, once the hunger games was over.
"It's one forty, so we could." Hanna said.
"Which one?" Caleb asked, stretching his arms up. "If it's a chick flick, I'm going up."
"Do you have something borrowed?"
"Wes." Claudia and Caleb said at the same time. Claudia said yes, and Caleb said what. "Something borrowed is a movie." Claudia explained to him. "It's a chick flick."
"Kay, I'll put it in, and I'm going upstairs."
"To text Toby." Hanna teased.
"Are you obsessed or something?" Caleb asked something.
"No, it's just that Spencer and I think it's quite cute that our boyfriends have a new found bromance."
He laughed. "Well, you did say we might get along due to the fact we're apparently 'protective' of you two." He said, shaking his head. "Now, I'm gonna put the DVD in, and go to bed."
"Night babe." Hanna said, as Caleb pressed his lips to the top of her head. "I love you."
"I love you too, night princess." Caleb said, before going to sleep. "And he's probably having sex with Spencer or something." He whispered in her ear, and she laughed.
"Probably." Hanna said, grinning.
