I don't own Pretty Little Liars! :(
"Hey mother how was work." She asked sitting at the counter watching her mother make a salad.
Ashley chopped the lettuce and tomatoes. "It was good, kind of long. So how was your day?" She asked tossing the lettuce and tomatoes into a bowl.
"Super long, and beyond boring I can't wait until I graduate." She said hearing the doorbell ring. Hanna got up from her seat and answered it.
"Hello again, Hanna so nice to see you again." Gabriel said standing next to a scary looking women with a police badge on her hip. "May we speak to your mother?" He asked politely.
"So this is Hanna?" Gabriel's partner questioned. "I'm Lieutenant Linda Tanner."
"Sure she's in the kitchen." Hanna said wishing she would have left the dress and heels on. Gabriel's partner went into the kitchen and came back with a wide-eyed Ashley.
"I'm afraid we are going to have to bring your mother in for questioning. Your welcome to come with us our stay at home." said to Hanna.
"I'll come not like I have anything better to do." Hanna replied looking at her choice of outfit and her hair all up in a ponytail. She didn't look like her normal self. Even when she went on her morning jog she looked cute of course she looked cute in pajamas but let's face it pajamas are not a cute bodycon dress.
Linda, his partner, smiled at Hanna and led them both to the car. Ashley looked terrified as she was led to the car. Gabriel smiled gently at Hanna. "I'm really sorry to bug you, but given the fact your mother dated Wilden we are just covering all the bases. Besides I've already questioned you." He whispered to her.
Hanna and Ashley were put in the backseat of the police car and were transported to Rosewood Police Department, Hanna kept getting whifts of donuts and coffee the moment she walked through the doors. Ashley was separated from her daughter and Hanna was left standing next to Linda.
"Why don't we have a little chat." Linda said leading Hanna into her office. Hanna felt her stomach in her throat as the woman watched her.
Hanna followed her into the office. "May I ask what I did wrong?" She said sitting down on a chair.
"What makes you think you did something wrong. I just figured with Holbrook questioning your mother you and I could just talk."
Hanna smiled her fear easing. "So your not going to interrogate me?" She asked as Linda handed her a cup of coffee.
Linda laughed and sat next to Hanna. "Interrogate you absolutely not, I'm just curious to see why Gabriel likes you so much and as to why you applied to become the new receptionist. Trust me Gabriel has questioned you enough about Wilden besides your alibi checks out for the night. A neighbor said they never saw you four girls leave the house that night, and the time stamp of the Chinese delivery matches the time Wilden was murdered. So your four are no longer suspects for Wilden and Reynolds."
Hanna smiled and took a deep breath. "I'm glad I'm no longer a suspect. And why I applied to the job is I'm actually planning on majoring in criminology and I figured a job at a police station would look really good come time for police academy." She said honestly.
"So you want to become a police officer? I wasn't expecting that, you don't really seem like the police type. You seem more like the nursing, business, or fashion type."
Hanna laughed. "I did think about both fashion and nursing for a while. But I realized my heart is in detective work, after Ali died I found the whole aspect of police and detective work interesting." She said leaving out the fact that her and the other three were like detectives due to the whole A thing.
"You remind me so much of myself. So tell me what's up with you and Gabriel? Everytime anyone mentions you his eyes just seem to light up." Linda said understanding why Gabriel liked her so much.
Hanna looked at her wide-eyed. "Is that a problem I mean I know I'm 19 but he's a detective and I'm still in high school." She asked wanting answers now knowing Gabriel felt the same way.
Linda took a deep breath. "Well your past the legal age of adulthood and you should be in college and seeing as how he's rather young for a detective it's not that wrong, besides your no longer a suspect so he can legally date you without getting in trouble. I think you two would be perfect for each other." She said being honest with Hanna, besides she wanted her partner to be happy.
Hanna breathed a sigh of relief with what Linda said about her dating Gabe. Gabriel came out of the interrogation room with Ashley right behind him. "You two are free to go, neither of you are guilty of Wilden's murder." He said with a wink at Hanna.
Hanna smiled and grabbed her mother's hand. "I knew you weren't guilty, come on let's go home so you can finish that salad."
Gabriel laughed. "May I offer you ladies a ride home?" He asked looking at his partner who he asked to get information about Hanna's feelings and from the way Linda was looking at him, he better make his move. Besides Hanna's mother seemed to approve of them dating.
Ashley looked at her daughter. "We'd love that besides I'd rather not walk a mile in heels."
Hanna looked at the three adults exchange looks. She was curious but she wasn't about to question it. "Sure I'm still tired from doing that math homework."
Gabriel opened Hanna's door for her as Ashley joined her in the backseat. The ride home was silent for the most part. Ashley opened her door and went inside leaving the two alone to talk. "Hanna I was wondering if you have any plans for Friday night?"
Hanna looked stunned. Now she understood why Linda had asked so many questions about her and Gabriel. "My Friday is completely empty."
"I was thinking you and I could go on a date." He said handing her his phone. "Mind giving me your number?"
Hanna smiled. "A date, hmm I'll have to think about it." She teased quietly putting in her number. "Of course I will."
"Well I should get going before the station sends a search party." He teased going back to the car.
Hanna smiled and watched him drive off. She went back into the house a huge smile on her face. "So how was your interrogation?" She asked perching on the counter as her mom finished making her salad.
"I gave him the hotel number who sent him the security footage which showed me never leaving the hotel once I checked in, and then he asked about you. I'm guilty of nothing besides trying to set my daughter up with the really sweet and cute detective. I can't say I blame you for liking him. He's cute, besides I didn't murder Wilden he might have been an ass but I didn't kill him"
Hanna giggled and munched on a cucumber. "So you don't have a problem with Gabriel and I going on a date?"
"How could I? You should be in college and would be if not for Ali's murder and my divorce. Besides if he wasn't so smart he'd still be in college or just starting out in his career. I think your worried how people will react because he's a detective, but you just need to relax because he really likes you. I'm pretty sure he's the reason you dressed up this morning moreso than usual."
Hanna blushed bright red. "Your right as usual, besides it's been four months since Caleb went in search of his family I don't even know where he is. I mean that alone shows how well he cared." She grumbled still sour about the breakup but knew in her heart it was time to move on. "I just don't want to feel like its a rebound relationship."
"Do you feel the urge to play Gabriel like a piano or break his heart? Do you feel like you are ready to begin a new relationship? You should answer those questions honestly and follow your heart."
"No I don't want to hurt Gabriel. I do feel as though all the ice cream has healed the hole in my heart. My heart tells me to go for it, but my brain is telling me not to."
Ashley laughed. "The brain is wrong, the heart is right. Why don't you eat a big bowl of ice cream and call Spencer for some advice, or better yet take her on a shopping trip and find something cute for your date."
Hanna smiled at her mom's suggestion. "You always know what to say." She said hugging her mother tightly and getting the Ben and Jerry's out of the freezer and taking it up to her room.
She heard he cell phone ding. Thinking it was Gabriel she looked at it, but the message made her blood run cold. 'Aww look a happy ending. I wonder what Gabriel would think about The Jenna Thing of better yet Hefty Hanna? Just wait until you see what I have planned! ~A
Hanna sighed and dug into her ice cream not caring about the message. The Jenna Thing wasn't her fault besides she ran almost every day and hit the gym three times a week. She wasn't going to let A win. She finished her ice cream and looked over her homework one last time before brushing her teeth and crawling into her bed for the night.
Hanna was awoken by her alarm clock. It was Thursday so of course she had class, however she was looking forward to the shopping trip with Spencer though.
School passed by in a blur she was so happy once the final bell rang. Hanna all but ran to her car where Spencer was already waiting. "How'd you get out here so fast?" She asked hopping into the drivers seat and turning on her car.
"Mr. Chang let us out early. So ready to find something hot for your date tomorrow?" Spencer asked working on her homework on the way to the mall.
"Of course I am, he's the first guy I've been interested since Caleb. Now let's find me something cute to wear, and find something cute for you." She opened the door to the mall and held it open for Spencer. "So how are you and Wren?"
Spencer smiled at Hanna and led her to Nordstrom. "We are great actually, why do I feel as though you asking me that has something to do with Gabriel. Is it about the age difference?" She asked leading Hanna to misses section.
Hanna sighed and looked at Spencer. "Even though you and I should both be in college it just feels weird. I really like him but he's so mature and well I'm five years younger. What if I say something stupid and he thinks I'm immature and he doesn't want to see me again? How do you and Aria do it your both dating older than high school boys, I just don't want to screw it up."
"Relax, trust me I've said some stupid crap around Wren and he hasn't ditched me yet. Besides A has made us grow up really fast. He really likes you, just be yourself. So it's October and I think a maxi dress should be perfect. It's classy yet casual all at the same time. Why am I helping you again? Your the fashion maven."
Hanna laughed and grabbed a maxi dress that was nude up top with black piping over the breast region and flared out with a black skirt. "What do you think Spencer, pair it with a black blazer and nude wedges?" She asked going to the fitting room to try it on.
"I like it, besides you don't know where you are going so it's versatile for a fancy dinner or a casual date like dinner and a movies. You could also stick a pair of flats in you purse or put some safety pins in your bag and you could hem the dress and make it short depending on the setting. It looks really good on you."
Hanna looked at herself in the mirror. "I like the back banding and how flowy it is. I think it's perfect for a date besides it casual enough I could wear it to school." She went back to the fitting room to change into her clothing and grabbed the dress. "Now let's go find the perfect shoes, I have a black blazer that's kind of short and would look really good with it."
"I really like the dress it's perfect. I just realized you and I have a blazer problem." She teased going over to the shoe section. "So nude wedges, or black wedges. I would wear wedges not stilettos with a maxi, oh and pack a pair of flats in your purse. Just in case your feet start hurting."
Hanna picked up a pair of basic black wedges. "I am thinking black wedges, but do you think with a black blazer and all the black in the dress would it be to much black?"
Spencer looked at Hanna. "Who are you and what have you done with fashion Hanna. The Hanna I know would break up all the black and nude with a bright shoe or a bright purse."
"So like a pink purse would be perfect?" She asked thinking of her purse closet and trying on the black wedges with the ankle strap. "Eh to plain." She commented taking of the shoes.
Spencer found herself a cute pair of riding boots as Hanna continued to look at shoes. "I haven't seen you this nervous in forever."
Hanna looked at Spencer. "How many pairs of riding boots do you need?" She questioned figuring it was probably Spencer's ninth or tenth pair. She stubbled across a pair of wedges with cutouts and a zip up back. "These are perfect."
"I like my riding boots like you like your heels, and those are perfect."
Hanna payed for the shoes and the dress and made her way back to her Audi. "Thanks for coming with me Spencer and giving me advice." She said as she peeled out of the parking lot and dropped off Spencer. She walked into the front door and there sat her mother.
"How was your day sweetie, I assume from the shopping bags in hand your trip with Spencer was successful. Now show me what you bought." Ashley demanded following her daughter upstairs.
Hanna gigged softly and pulled out the dress and shoes. "Funny you weren't like this when it came to dates with Caleb." She commented grabbing a black blazer from her closet and a hot pink Rebecca Minkoff purse.
"That is really cute, sweetie. I like how everything is muted and the main color is the purse. That's because you were never this nervous when it came to dates with Caleb or Sean."
Hanna put the dress on a hanger after clipping off the tags. She placed the shoes underneath its hanging spot and the blazer next to it. "It's weird isn't it. I think the thought of him makes my brain forget fashion." She teased flopping onto her bed to do homework.
Around seven her mother brought up Thai food for her to eat as she did her English paper. She heard a chime from her phone she looked over and read the message.
'Can't wait for tomorrow. I will see you at 4:30. ~Gabe
Hanna smiled at her phone like an idiot, and went back to her English report, which she finally finished at around ten. She sighed and went to jump through the shower. She crawled into her shorts and a tank top and went downstairs to watch some TV before bed. She decided on watching Criminal Minds while eating some crackers with Nutella on them. Around midnight she decided to crawl into bed after all she did have school in the morning.
Sorry about not updating I have been busy. :( But anyway Hanna and Gabriel finally admitted they like each other when I was first planning this story you were going to have to wait longer than the fourth chapter for a date. I actually do have this story all planned out. They way I have it planned is going to be three separate stories this story will end once the girl's graduate high school. They next story will go until the girl's have children. Then the third story will be there kids dealing with there own A. That is if my lovely readers like that idea if not I can just stop with this story and the sequel.
Anyway feedback is appreciated and I promise the next chapter will be up soon and you won't have to wait like three weeks for it.
Oh and as for the question about the solo comma review I went to go get something to drink and I came back and my dog was standing on my laptop so I'm assuming she did it. :)
