I'll Do Anything For You: Haleb

4. Lying

Caleb's POV:

Hanna taking me back literally made me the happiest man alive. I know how cheesy that sounds, but it's honestly how I feel.

Were still sitting here, in the bathroom with a broken down door, just enjoying each others company.

It's going to be very hard to pee for the next few days, but it's definitely worth it. Hanna is worth everything and anything.

"C'mon, let's go have coffee, princess." I say with a smile. I can't help but smile. Hanna loves me. Maybe even as much as I love her. I watch as her cheeks turn a pinkish red, and smile wider. I love that I can make her blush.

I pick her up bridal style and carry her to the kitchen. She buries her face in my shirt and my smile expands again.

I set her down on the kitchen chair and walk to my fridge, taking out everything I need to make pancakes.

I always have everything for pancakes ready in my fridge since that's Hanna's favourite breakfast, and practically the only food I can force into her for breakfast since she has a 'very strict diet'.

I start making pancakes when Hanna speaks. "I thought we were having coffee?" She teases.

"Yeah, but I know how much you love pancakes." I say with a smile. I really hope it won't be difficult to get her to eat today, but I'll do it no matter how difficult it is. Hanna needs to eat, so I'm keeping her healthy.

"Caleb, you know I don't eat breakfast." She whines. Here it goes...

"Hanna, when you're at my apartment, you are eating. I am keeping you healthy." I say honestly. She gives me a look that can easily be translated to 'I don't need to be healthy, I need to be skinny'.

"Ca-leb!" She drags out my name.

"Han, please. For me." I beg. She looks down and seems to ponder the idea. Then, she gets an I-have-an-idea look on her face and looks up.

"Okay. But only for you." She winks. I have no idea what she's thinking but Hanna Marin does not give in this easily. Nonetheless, I play along.

"Great." I say as I finish making pancakes and put them out on two plates. We sit down and I finish my first pancake before looking at Hanna's plate.

"Han." I say, gesturing to the plate. She gives me a look but takes a bite anyways.

A tiny bite. And them pushes her plate away.

"I'm full." She announces.

"Hanna." I warn. She seriously needs to eat.

"Yes?" She asks ever so innocently. It takes all that's in me not to just kiss her right then and there, because then I'll forget about breakfast and she won't eat and she certainly won't remind me.

"You need to eat." I say and she shakes her head no. I pull her onto my lap and pick up her fork. "Then I'll have to feed you." She rolls her eyes but opens her mouth when I bring the fork to her mouth again. Mission complete.

After we finish breakfast, we just go to the couch and cuddle. Just cuddle. After a few minutes, I look down to see a smiling, sleeping Hanna. I smile and pick her up, carrying her to bed. I put her down on the bed and her arm goes out to reach for my hand, even though she's still asleep.

"Don't leave me," she whispers in her sleep and I smile.

"I'll be back in a minute, Han." I whisper in her ear and she seems to understand because she lets go.

I walk to the kitchen and make a phone call.

"Hey, Toby?" I ask.

"Yeah?"

"We need to talk. It's about Hanna and Spencer." I say quietly, so as not to wake Hanna.

"Talk away."

I don't like lying to Hanna, but it's not like I'm lying about something bad... right?

I mean, I almost lost her last time because I lied to her. But this is completely different.

I just hope she doesn't start to hate me before I can tell her. After a few minutes of talking to Toby Cavanaugh, my best friend and Hanna's best friends (Spencer) boyfriend, I end the call shortly after saying,

"Don't tell Spencer and I won't tell Hanna. See you soon."

"See ya bro." he says and we both hang up.

I walk back to Hanna, to find her curled up in a ball and her eyes closed. As soon as I enter the room, a smile comes onto her face. It's like she can sense I came in.

I lay down beside her and she automatically lays her head down on my chest.

"Don't leave me again." She murmurs in her sleep. I smile.

"Never in a million years." I say softly. Hanna cuddles deeper into my chest and my arm goes around her. We fall asleep momentarily, smiles on both of our faces.

Author's Note:

What is Caleb hiding from Hanna ?

I'm adding some Spoby mentions (and possibly slight actual Spoby) in the next couple chapters, but it's still going to be mainly Haleb.

Guys I got like 2 votes on Cupids Curse. C'mon you can do better than that.

Ilyall.

So yeah. Baii
