It wasn't at first sight

Chapter 8

The morning after, Caleb wakes up and finds Hanna still asleep, cuddling with Chocolate, of course.

He takes a moment and watches her. She is still hugging Chocolate, lying on her stomach and her face buried in between the dog's neck and the mattress. She has kicked the sheets off during the night so her body is uncovered. Her long legs sprawled and her sweatshorts barely covering her rounded ass. Caleb can't believe how it's possible that she can look so hot yet so cute at the same time. He has to force himself off the bed.

He takes some clothes from his bag and sneaks out of the bedroom, being careful enough not to wake them up, and after getting dressed in the bathroom, he goes buy something for breakfast in order to thank Hanna for letting him stay the night at her house.

When he gets back, Hanna is already in the kitchen, and about to make her breakfast.

Caleb "Hey!"

Hanna turns around. "Hey! Do you always sneak out like that after spending the night with a girl?" she jokes.

Caleb laughs. "I usually don't even stay all night long with anyone, and much less, go out to get them something for breakfast" he says, placing two takeaway coffee cups on the kitchen island and a box of donuts, then he has seat.

Hanna "Hey, you didn't have to"

Caleb "Yes, I did, you saved me last night" he smiles.

Hanna smiles back and goes put the milk that she was about to use to make her breakfast back in the fridge. Then she goes sit next to him at the kitchen island and grabs a donut.

Hanna "Toby called me. Spencer isn't feeling so good and he doesn't want to leave her alone, but he has to go work, so I'm coming over to stay with her while he's gone. You can stay here as long as you need. Don't worry about my mom, she went right to the Ridley from Ted's and she's not coming back till evening, I'll talk to her when she gets home and let her know that you are staying here" she says and takes a bite of her donut.

Caleb "Thank you, Han. But I'm not staying here anymore. I'm really grateful to you but one thing is staying one night and another thing would be if I stayed longer. I can't"

Hanna "Why not? You will be able to be with Chocolate... and I promise I won't get in your bed again... I won't disturb your sleep again"

Caleb laughs and although many jokes and some other dirty things to answer to that come to his mind, he just pushes them back and goes for a serious response instead. "You didn't disturb me at all. And don't worry, I'll figure something out, I'll just find a motel for tonight and I think I can go back home tomorrow, it can't take so long, I already called a plumber and he's coming in a couple hours"

Hanna "Okay, but let me know anything"

Caleb nods and takes a sip of coffee. "Are you better, though?"

Hanna "Yes" she simply answers.

Caleb "You seemed pretty upset last night..."

Hanna "I'm okay" she says and drinks some coffee too.

Caleb remains silent. He doesn't keep asking because he knows because of her short answers that Hanna doesn't want to talk about that subject and he is no one to give love advice to anyone since all his relationships have failed badly and also considering that the only reason why he hasn't made a move on Hanna is because she is about to marry someone. Although, having her in his bed last night almost makes him fall into temptation.

Hanna "You can take Chocolate with you if you want, I won't be here anyway, so it's the same"

Caleb "Really?"
