"Let me surprise you" I said. Words cannot explain how much I missed her.

"Han" I stared at the ceiling and said.

"Yeah?" She said. Right now we are just sitting in her room, on her bed, doing nothing. Which is probably my favorite thing to do with her because just being alone with her makes me happy. Though, she's on her phone, just on twitter. The usual her.

"Let's go on a date" Was the first things that came out my head without thought. Date.. Mhm.. That seems like a good idea. She turns her head and stares at me with her left eyebrow raised.

"At 10pm?"

"So?" I said.

"No"

"Why?" I pout

"It's dark and I just want to read more of these dumb 'deep' tweets by Jaden Smith" She giggles. Her laugh is sweet to me.

I take her phone out of her hand and she gasps. "Hey!"

"No" I said

"But-"

"I'm more important then Jaden Smith" I grin as I rest her phone on the dresser. She tries pulling those puppy eyes at me, usually they would work but I got distracted by her lips. I lean in and press my lips on hers. They were warm and it felt so great to have her lips pressed against mines. I peek and see her blond hair falling down on her shoulders.

And for the moment there, I thought she was Alison. There was that moment in my life that I was still moping over Alison, and in the first few weeks I was with Hanna, well, I sometimes wished/imagined it was Ali instead. Her disappearance was big part of me, I was in a stage of purgatory when she was gone. Then again, each sweet moment that's filled with passion, makes me forget of Alison at the same time.

Her soft lips press against my neck, and I suddenly feel millions of tingles that makes my body jump. Instead I just bite my lip down. She then straddles my lap and her lips take over my neck. "Han.." I said, softly.

As her hands lifts my shirt higher, her fingers circle my stomach. She makes me feel like I'm on fire. The circling of her soft hands causes my back to arch, just a little.

I know where this is leading.

"Wait" I said, stopping her hand movement.

"Mhm?"

"Not tonight" I said

She frowns and gets off my lap, "Why not?"

"We haven't been on one real date yet, Han" I said.

"So what, we been together for like a month now" She said then moves her face closer to mine. I feel her breath and the sensation she has. She tucks my hair behind my ear and starts to kiss below my ear on my neck again.

I pull my head away and said, "One date, first"

She pouts. "Fine"

I grin and I press my lips against hers. She kisses back and in this room, time felt frozen and slow. All the time I had was with her and it felt so good.

"This is kidnapping, I hope you know" She said as she turned on the radio.

"Well, looks like my victim is comfortable" I said, glancing over to her. Her head was faced out the window and she looked comfy. She had the car seat leaned back and she just watched the rain falling. She turned her head and her eyes met mine. Because I felt embarrassed from getting caught staring out her, I turn my head back to look the road.

The basic mainstream songs on the radio played, Jealous, Rather Be, 24 Hours... Until she changed the station where one particular song came on.

"And your heart's against my chest, your lips pressed to my neck. I'm falling for your eyes, but they don't know me yet." It was the song on our first date.

"And with a feeling I'll forget, I'm in love now. Kiss me like you want to loved.. You wanna be loved-" She then turned off the radio right there during the chorus. "I'm not in the mood for music right now" She said, sounding nervous but shook it off with a laugh.

She looks around and smiles, which make me smile. "Not bad for a first date, Em"

Her words made it feel like all the weight of the world just fell off my shoulders. "Come on" I said as I get out the car. With every step, my feet digs deep in the sand deeper. She runs towards the sunset to the waves of the chill waters. Her hair bounces from left and right repeatedly and she turns around, facing my direction. She stands there and flashes a sweet smile, waiting for me.

We walked around the beach, just talking. The feeling of comfort with her reached a whole new level. It felt like I got to know more of her that I hadn't known before. It was more personal, only can tell the person you are dating, kind of thing. "I never really talked about this but, I miss my dad and my grandma."

My expression at her was confused. "But you practically hate him because he left you and your mom"

"That doesn't change the fact he's my dad. I miss him. Sometimes when I see my mom coming home from work in the middle of the night, exhausted. I don't even know when's the last time she's been on a date. Just seeing her like that makes me wonder if she feels alone. It makes me feel alone too."

I reach out her her hand and held it tight, "You have me," I say, hearing the waves splash hard as the wind began to blow, "And I won't leave you."

She looked at me as if she got lost in my eyes. No one had ever looked at me in that way. She leans in to kiss me but the drops of rain beat her to it. The sky roared and the rain came down harder. I look up and feel the water hitting my face. She grabs my hand and we run to my car for warmth. As we got there, panting, we smile at each other. I turn on the radio and the slow soothing song was perfect for the moment.

"Kiss me like you wanna be loved.. You wanna be loved" And so she did. She captured my lips with hers and her warm lips felt like home. The kiss was slow, just like how time felt.

"This feels like falling in love... Falling in love... Falling in love.."

She pulled away, and when I opened my eyes I caught her blue eyes already staring at me. She had this look on her face I couldn't describe, or maybe I was scared to describe it. She had to look on her face that defined love. Or surprised or something. I didn't know what it was, all I did was press my lips against hers once more.

I park my car on the side of a street near a park, knowing I left Hanna confused. I get out of the car and she follows. "Where are we going?" She asks.

"There" I point at a food truck.

"You kidnap me at midnight to take me to a taco truck?" She laughs, "Smooth Emily"

"Don't diss the taco truck! Trust me, you'll fall in love with their food, I promise" I said, which made her laugh more. I love this. The feeling of being friends with her again. It reminded me of all the fun times we had, even before we were together. This could be it, where her and I could start over. With each laugh and smile, we could be friends again. I would have my best friend back.

We waited in line for about ten minutes because there was a bunch of other people. My face lit up when the food I ordered was ready, though. I walk toward my car with two burritos in my hand. I get inside the warm car and hand Hanna her burrito.

"How long has it been since you had a Mexican Burrito?" I ask

She thinks about it and says, "Now to realize it, it's been a long time." She unwraps the foil that covered the burrito.

"Taste of freedom" I said before taking a bite of my burrito. She bites the burrito and her eyes widen. She takes a bigger bite and turns to her face to me, "This is good!" She muffles with a mouth full of food. She chews and swallows, then says, "I feel like I ate this before?"

I did nothing but just grin at her. Does she not remember? Can she not put her finger on it?

The song ended slowly and we pull away from the kiss slowly. Her hand still rested on the side of my face, caressing my cheek. "I think 'Kiss Me' by Ed Sheeran is my new favorite song" She softly said.

"That makes the both of us then" I said with a warm smile.

"So what food did you have in that picnic box?" She asked.

"Yeah, I'm pretty hungry too" I grab the picnic box that was in the backseat and take out two foil wrapped burritos.

She looks at me and smiles, but rolls her eyes. "Did you buy these?"

"Maybe" I said, handing her one. "It might be cold or a little warm"

Instead of saying that it was the same burrito I once bought for our first date, we continue eating. We were even talking. We talked and talked and even laughed, a lot. While talking to her I just mainly stared out the dark night sky, but once I turned to face her I caught her stare. She looked away quickly, even blushing. I looked away from her too. It was an instinct..

"Thank you" She said

"For kidnapping you?"

She smiles and crumples up her trash. "Yes, for kidnapping me" She said, "But I think I should go home now, I'm getting a little tired"

"Yeah of course" I said. I started the car and headed off to drop her home. The ride home wasn't awkward nor silent. We caught up and I learned more about her life in Oklahoma. She met great people and that she even visited Texas where some of her family members lived in also like mine. She told me about some guy named Shane, who became one of her closest friends.

It didn't take long until I got to her house. "Goodnight Em" She said before opening the car door. She walked to her door and I wanted to make sure she was inside safely before leaving.

"Han" I called for her

"Yeah?" She said, walking a few steps towards my car.

"Do I have my best friend back?" I ask

She smiled and looked at the floor before picking her head up back at me. "Yeah.. Yeah you do, Em" She said.

I couldn't hold the smile back inside of me so I grinned at her. She turned her back and walked to her door and unlocked her front door. She walks in and waves goodbye. Knowing for sure that we are finally going to be passed the awkwardness, I drive home happy.

That's a wrap. I know I said that Alison is coming soon, and don't worry, she is. I really hope you enjoyed this chapter! I'm going to make this a growing story. You will see the struggles the characters are going to go through, the friendships that last or end, and even the growth of how as characters in the story they are. Also, I will try to have the other characters like Spencer and Aria involved.
