Meanwhile, Brandon’s car came to a stop in front of a small house. It was the same place he had brought Hannah to earlier today.
He climbed out of the car and opened the car door for Hannah, after which she climbed out of the car.
“Thank you” Hannah muttered and he nodded and held her hands while they both walked towards the house. He opened the door to the house and they both walked inside.
Hannah sat on the couch tiredly, lots of thoughts going through her mind.
“You must be hungry, I’ll prepare something,” he said but Hannah didn’t say a word, her mind was far away. She was looking so lost in thoughts.
“Hannah,” Brandon called, jolting her out of her thoughts.
“Yes,” she said as she raised her head and he sighed and sat beside her.
“Hannah,…”
“I’m sorry, I was lost in my thoughts”
“It’s fine, it’s alright, you know you can talk to me about anything right?” He asked and she nodded.
She took in a deep breath and turned to him, then rested her head on his shoulder.
“Esther was such a nice woman, she never for once maltreated me. She took me as her blood and I didn’t even notice she wasn’t my biological mother.
She loved me like a mother would love her child till her last breath…” she paused as tears gathered in her eyes.
She just couldn’t believe Arianna was her mother. She had always felt this daughter and mother connection with Arianna.
Whenever she was sad and lonely, Arianna was who she had always run to. She comforted her and treated her like her own daughter. She was sure she felt the connection too.
“My father was such a despicable man. The thought of all he did, is making me go crazy. How could he do all that to Mom?” Hannah muttered as she raised her head and stared at Brandon.
Brandon sighed as he then moved closer to Hannah and cuddled her.
“My father did the worst to her, he tried to kill her. I’m surprised she’s still strong and not gone mentally insane after all she’s been through. The thoughts of it alone make me feel sick” Brandon said and Hannah sighed.
But then Brandon paused for a few seconds, he hadn’t even thought about it. If Arianna is Hannah’s Biological mother, does that make Him and Hannah a step-sibling?
Oh damn!!!. The thought of it alone makes his heart break into pieces. He just doesn’t want to imagine they are both step-siblings. He would go crazy, he loves Hannah and their kids so much.
He quickly pushed off the thought from his heart as he didn’t want to ruin the moment:
“I can never forgive him for what he did, he doesn’t deserve any forgiveness after the horrible things he’s done” Hannah muttered and Brandon held her close while patting her hair.
“Brandon, I do not want to think about my father or any of this anymore, I need something that would distract me,” Hannah said as she raised her head and stared at Brandon.
Brandon hummed and then shrugged before standing up.
He went to the DVD and put a CD player in it and a slow music started playing’.
He stretched his hands forward beckoning for Hannah to come dance with him. She smiled and then took his hands and stood up from the couch.
Their gaze locked as she moved closer to him and he wrapped his hands around her waist, while she placed her hands on his firm chest.
The room is softly lit, the air filled with a gentle breeze.
They both were enraptured in their passion, swaying to the rhythm of a slow, sultry song.
They hold each other close, their bodies pressed together as they glide across the dance floor.
Their movements are fluid and sensual, every step in perfect synchronization with each other.
They are both lost in their world, their eyes locked in a tender gaze as they spin and dip to the music.
The tension between them kept increasing every second that passes by.
He pushed her closer to himself.
He stared at her eyes and then at her beautiful lips which were calling to him. He tilted his head, moving his lips closer to hers.
Hannah on the other hand closed her eyes, moving her lips closer to Brandon but then suddenly Brandon heard his phone ring.
Hannah sighed and opened her eyes. She made to move away from Brandon but he held her, thereby stopping her.
“You should answer the phone call” she whispered as she swallowed into nothing.
“The phone call can wait,” he said as he kept staring at his lips. It wasn’t long before the call ended.
He tilted his head and made to kiss her again when his phone and Hannah’s phone started ringing at once.
“Brandon, I should answer the phone call,” Hannah whispered as Brandon pinned her to himself. He just doesn’t want to let go of her at that moment.
He sighed softly and then nodded before letting go of her.
Brandon picked up his phone and saw it was Lucas calling. Hannah checked her phone and saw it was Jessica calling.
They both stared at each other.
They wondered why they were all calling from home, they wondered if something had happened. Hannah felt worried immediately and quickly answered the phone call.
“Jessica” Hannah muttered immediately she answered the phone call.
“You need to come home immediately Hannah…”
“What’s wrong?…”
“Your father, I don’t know what happened, he’s at the hospital, ” Jessica said and Hanah turned to Brandon who was also on the phone with Lucas.
The look on Hannah’s face became a worried one.
“Send me the address of the hospital,” she said and then hung up before rushing to the car with Brandon trailing behind her.
