I'm going to spoil you today just because I wanted to end chapter 14 there but I also want to go on to write what happens next because I have so many different ideas about what should happen in chapter 15.
At first I thought Spencer and Hanna could sit together and reminisce about Hanna and Caleb's wedding (but then I thought maybe I'd make that into a little side story instead after this is finished. Let me know what you think of that please.)
Then I thought maybe it was time to bring on Harry's birthday party and have Hanna completely ignore Caleb but then I realised I had only one choice of what should happen in this chapter.
And here it is, enjoy.
Chapter 15
Stupid
Hanna was woken by the sound of her phone vibrating on her bedside table, she rolled over and flung her arm out from the covers to grab it,
"Who is it?" Mark mumbled from the other side of the bed, Hanna checked the ID.
Caleb.
"Spencer," she lied.
Mark groaned,
"What could be so important at this time of night?" He asked as Hanna climbed out of bed and began walking out into the hall,
"You're going to answer it?" Mark asked surprised,
"It could be important," she said closing the bedroom door behind her. She waited until she was safely downstairs before accepting the call, she was surprised Caleb hadn't given up by now.
"Caleb?" Hanna whispered when she answered,
"I need to see you," came Caleb's response,
"It's 3 o'clock in the morning," she replied, determined not to give in and agree to meet him,
"I have to speak to you, to tell you something," he explained. Hanna panicked,
"And it needs to be sooner, rather than later," he added.
Hanna sighed but didn't say anything,
"Hanna please say you'll meet me, or you'll leave me no choice but to come to you," he told her rather firmly.
Hanna took a deep breath,
"Okay," she agreed.
…
15 minutes later she found herself in the car outside Caleb's apartment building, she fumbled through her bag in search of her compact and lipstick, she realised what a state she must look. No make up, a pair of loose fitting pyjama bottoms and vest top, covered with an old coat she'd grabbed from the stand by the front door and a pair of white pumps. She calmed her nerves before leaving the car and walking up the front steps, she took a deep breath before pushing the buzzer to his apartment.
Caleb didn't even check to see whether it was her and immediately buzzed her in. She didn't know it but he'd been watching her from the balcony, helplessly applying some rosy blusher to her cheeks as though she needed it.
He waited at the front door for the lift doors to open and when they did there she was.
His Hanna.
…..
Inside the apartment they stood in silence for a moment.
"Would you like a hot drink?" Caleb asked after what felt like a life time,
"No thank you," she replied as she removed her coat and threw it onto the sofa. They were stood in the living room, neither one daring to sit down, Caleb took a deep breath.
"Hanna there's something I have to tell you," he began and Hanna couldn't stop herself, she began to cry.
"Why are you crying?" Caleb asked, he couldn't bare to see her cry,
"You're in love with Bridget aren't you?" Hanna asked,
"I knew it, the minute I saw her get out of your car I knew that I'd lost you forever, I've been so stupid," Hanna bean to rattle on.
"I know we were having problems and it was driving us apart, but it wasn't your fault. You tried so hard, but I… I could have tried harder. I was just so stupid," she went on, crying harder now.
"Stupid, stupid, stupid," she repeated.
Caleb crossed the living room to her and grabbed a hold of her wrists,
"Hanna," he whispered,
"You stupid, stupid woman," he laughed,
"I don't love Bridget. I never have and I never will." he admitted. He placed the palm of one hand on her cheek and with the pad of his thumb wiped away a tear,
"I love you Hanna Marin. I always have and I always will."
Hanna smiled though she continued to cry, this time with joy. He still loved her. Even though she was stupid and had tried to bury her head in the sand, afraid to admit just how much she still really loved him.
"I love you too," Hanna replied before tip toeing to kiss him, Caleb returned the kiss as she threw her arms around his neck. While he pulled her closer wrapping his arms around her waist,
"Why in the world would you ever think I loved Bridget?" He whispered into her ear,
"Because she's so pretty and…" she began but Caleb didn't allow her to finish,
"Hanna, I'm so enthralled by your beauty that I couldn't notice anyone else if I tried," he whispered before gently kissing her cheek and down her neck,
"Oh Caleb," Hanna sighed, tears of joy rolling down her face again,
"Caleb, will you do something for me?" She muttered,
"Anything," Caleb whispered into her ear,
"Don't ever leave me," she asked,
"Never again," he promised.
I began to add in a love scene at the end of this but decided that Hanna and Caleb's affair isn't just about sex but about their love for each other too. Sorry to disappoint but they can't be all sex all the time, but I promise there is a sex scene coming up which I've had planned since like chapter 2 LOL.
Please review.
Thanks. :)
