Master Plan

Chapter 3 - Hanna's POV

It has been 3 weeks since our first date and everything has been going smoothly. I'm having such a great time with Emily however, that does not surprise me, Emily and I have always gotten along.

As I'm getting ready for our 7th day, I start to remember our first date.

XXXXXXXXXX

Flashback

I only have 10 more min before Emily comes and picks me up. My stomach has been on a knot since I woke up. I'm risking everything with this crazy plan of mine.

I spent almost 1 hour on the phone with the allied and got the reassurance that I needed. There is some much that I could lose. I could lose Emily, I could lose Alison, and I could lose all the girls.

I think back to Alison, my relationship with Alison has always been complicated, to say the least. I think she always felt threatened by me. Maybe that is why is so easy for this plan to work. For me to put Alison to the side and do what I need to do for Emily. I want her happiness more than anything and I'm willing to do anything to get her.

That does not mean that I want Alison to be heartbroken, I know all about her crush on Emily, but if she wasn't brave enough to fight for Emily, I will. I was so consumed by my thoughts that I didn't hear the doorbell or my mom calling me. I was until my mom was at my door that I finally snap out of it.

Ashley: "Hanna, Emily is downstairs waiting for you"

H: "Thank you, mom. I'm ready we can go downstairs now"

My mom looks at me and I know she wants to tell me something, she is just not sure on how to say it.

H: "Mom, what is it?"

Ashley: "I hope you know what you are doing Hanna."

I look at her confused, nervous, could she know what I'm doing. H: "I don't know what you are talking about mom; did you already finish the bottle of wine for the week? Should I do an intervention?"

Ashley: "I guess I was right. 2 things I'm going to tell you, Han. Stop using humor as a defense mechanism against me; remember I know you more than you know yourself."

H: "right, Ok mom.... And the 2nd thing"

My mom comes closer to me and places her arms on my shoulders; taking a deep breath, she says.

Ashley: "You are not a puppet master. You can't go around live playing with people feelings"; she looks at me in the eyes and gives me a kiss on the forehead. Great here come the nerves again. Before I can say anything she is walking downstairs and talking to Emily. I take a deep breath and mentally prepare myself. I'm already in too deep with this, I can't go back..... Can I?

I make my way to the kitchen and there she is, the reason I'm doing all of this. She is super nervous, she is sweating and she is not sure how to talk to my mom; she is mumbling and stroking the back of her head. She only does that to calm her nerves.

H: "Hi Em....Ready to go?" I say to her while I give her the biggest hug possible I want her to be as calm as possible.

E: "Hey Han, you look great, if you are ready I'm ready"

We spent the next couple of hours just talking and having so much fun. We went to the movies, the arcade, where I know she let me win in all the game, I mean come on, she is this sort of Greek Goddess for sport and she will have me believe that I have better coordination than her; however, I don't mind is just another method of assurance, that this girl is worth any sort of actions just to get her happiness.
