I'll Do Anything For You: Haleb

9. Wrong Gentleman

"Mom, did I hear you right?" I ask, praying I didn't.

"Yes, you did. Ted and Sean will be moving in here. We're having the guest room redone for Sean, and meanwhile he'll share rooms with you, Hanna. Ted will move into my room with me." My mom smiles widely.

I look over to Sean, who's grinning, and roll my eyes. If the thinks I'll come back to him, he needs a reality check.

"Hanna, why don't you show Sean your room?" Oh, so you let my ex boyfriend up to my room but Caleb, my boyfriend who I actually love, isn't aloud in my room. I think, but don't say. Instead, I plaster on one of my famous fake smiles.

"Sure, mom." I say, not letting myself roll my eyes.

"You have a beautiful smile." Sean says to me when we get to my bedroom. Caleb would have known, without a moment's hesitation, just how fake my smile was. Hell, he could probably write a novel based on a three-second-glance I gave him. He knows me too well, and it's sweet and absolutely adorable.

Ignoring his compliment, I turn around and look him in the eyes. "Sean, I have a boyfriend. You need to stop." I say bluntly, not caring if I sound rude.

"I was just being polite, I didn't know that wasn't okay." He says, feigning innocence and I roll my eyes.

"Oh, being polite is okay. What's not okay is constantly calling me, asking me out, and staring at me when I. Have. A. Boyfriend." I exclaim.

"Well what if I don't like your boyfriend?" He says, taking a step closer to me, and I instinctively take a step back.

"Well then get over it." I tell him.

He shakes his head, smiling his stupid smile. What did I ever see in him?

He walks over and sits on my bed, causing me to raise one eyebrow.

"What are you doing?" I ask.

"I'm sitting on the bed." He replies as if it's the most casual thing to do.

"Why are you sitting on my bed?" I ask.

"Our bed. Were sharing a room." He grins and that's when the realization actually hits me. I'm sharing a room with an asshole.

"You can sleep on the floor." I tell him, using my famous Hanna Marin bitchy tone, but he shakes his head.

"Nope, I can sleep on the bed." I roll my eyes for a moment and think. Then I plaster on another fake smile and turn to him.

"Be a gentleman and let me have the bed." I tell him, knowing perfectly well that the only 'gentleman' I want to be around is Caleb.

He raises an eyebrow. "So you want me to be a gentleman?" He asks and I have to stop myself from laughing and gagging and crying all at once. He just completely twisted my words. However, this is what I wanted him to say. In a weird way.

I know if I answer with 'No, I have a boyfriend' or 'No, I want you to sleep on the floor' I'd lose this little game were playing.

"Yes." I say, trying to sound confident. Sean raises his eyebrows and gives me a victorious smile before getting off the bed.

"I'll take the floor then." He smiles and I stare at him.

"I have to go." I tell him, turning away.

"Going to see your friend?" He calls after me, making my stop in my tracks. A grin spreads across my face, even though he can't see it.

"Going to see my boyfriend."

Caleb's POV:

I sit here, in my small apartment, just waiting.

Hanna promised she'd stop by if she could. I wonder why we're even back. I'm sure if this was about an ordinary mother-daughter dinner, Ashley wouldn't get us to return from Hawaii. She seems like a perfectly sane person. Right?

Maybe it's Hanna's dad. Maybe he's back. Or maybe something's wrong with him. What if Hanna needs me right now? And I'm sitting here, useless as a potato.

My thoughts are interrupted by the beep of my cell phone, indicating a new text. I reach over to my phone quickly, wondering if it's Hanna. I'm confused when I see it's from a blocked number.

Wondering why your precious Hanna came back to Rosewood? Maybe it had something to do with that perfect ex of hers. You know, the one you can never compete with.

-A

I furrow my eyebrows in confusion before I notice that there's an attachment.

Hesitantly, I open it.

It's a video, of Hanna in her room. I know it was filmed today because I recognize the outfit she is wearing: hot pink tank top, jean jacket and a pair of skinny jeans. For a second, I feel guilty for eavesdropping. However, all that guilt is gone as fast as it came when the camera turns and who is revealed is the man I despise; Sean Ackard. I notice he's sitting on her bed.

Hanna's back is towards the camera, but Sean's face is perfectly clear. He raises an eyebrow suggestively before speaking.

"So you want me to be a gentleman?" He asks, his tone undeniably full of want for the girl that stands in front of him. My girl that stands in front of him.

I pray for Hanna to say no, I pray for none of this to be real. But my prays are unheard.

"Yes." She says and before I have time to examine her tone, my head is spinning and the video stopped.

It can't be. Why would Hanna do this to me? She wouldn't... right?

I mean, we just got over the thing with Jenna, I just proved to her I never cheated on her and we just returned from a perfect vacation in Hawaii. Hadn't I done everything?

Maybe this is revenge, for the Jenna thing. I guess I deserve it, but I really thought she loved me. I really thought that she cared. I really thought what we had was real.

My thoughts are interrupted by a knock on the door. For a second, everything is forgotten and I smile slightly knowing who to expect. But then I remember.

I start to think. What if she's been cheating on me for a long time now? She thinks she can just come back and have me welcome her into my arms?

Well I have two words for that:

Hell. No.
