*Hannah’s POV (Morning, Sunday the 14th)

I wake up to an alarm, but it’s not mine. Susan must have set hers. It takes me a second before I remember: it’s Valentine’s Day. I get to see Harry for the first time since Christmas! Yeah…we don’t Skype that much. Occasional messages here and there mostly. When we do have the opportunity we really look forward to it so it makes our video chats all the more special to us.

I want to just spring out of bed and jump around but I’ll wait until Susan leaves for breakfast. I close my eyes to pretend to be asleep until I hear the door open and close. Once the door is closed, I wait a little before I throw the covers off of me and get out of bed. “I see Harry today!!” I shout, not caring who hears.

I dance around the room in my pajamas while humming random melodies. I dance my way over to the closet. I don’t know what I should wear…it should be something special. Although, he’s only gonna see my top…my pajama pants it is! The question is which shirt. I rummage through my thousands of shirts I probably own at the moment and finally come across the only choice: my Tangled shirt.

Harry will love it. I decide to get on Twitter to let out some excitement. Ah, sweet mystery of life, at last I’ve found thee. :) <3 is what I tweet. People will say I’m crazy and maybe I am but I’m happy I get to see my baby. I hear footsteps coming towards the room. I quickly put my shirt on the desk chair and get back in bed as Susan opens the door. I pretend I just woke up.

“Good morning, Han.” she says going to her laptop with her food. “Morning! Excited for your date?” I say sitting up to check my phone. I have a message from Harry. It says “For a surprise, go to your mailbox. There should be a package for you. Bring it to your room and don’t open it until instructed to do so. See you soon for our date. :) I love you, blondie. <3” I wonder what he means by this.

I realize now that Susan asked me a question: “You?” “Yeah, I’m just really confused about the text Harry sent me.” I say looking it over again. “What’s it say?” she asks coming to see it. I read it to her and she says “Sounds intriguing…I’d go check your mail if I were you.” I guess I should check it out. This could be fun.

“I will! Have fun with Liam. I’m going to the mail room and then to the lounge for my date.” I say changing my shirt and quickly grabbing my laptop and makeup bag to pretty up before 12:30. She was saying something to me but I already left. I’m too excited to wait for anything. As quick as I can I go downstairs to the mail room. I get there and see a box on the floor against the wall that’s by my mailbox.

I pick it up and sure enough it has my name on it. There’s also a note taped to the side of it. I take it off and read it out loud since I’m alone. “Hannah, do not open until instructed to do so. Talk to you soon, blondie. I love you! – Harry” Just like his text he sent. I head back upstairs with the box to go to the lounge.

I get in the lounge and set my laptop, makeup bag, and Harry’s box on the table. I turn my laptop on and log into Skype before I throw my hair up in a ponytail and start doing my makeup. It’s about noon now and I am dying to know what is in that box!! I’m so tempted to open it but I know that I need to follow Harry’s orders.

I slowly put on makeup making sure it looks absolutely perfect. I don’t wanna have any free minutes before he calls in case I wanna give in and open the box. After carefully applying everything it’s still only 12:15. This is torture! All I can do now is sit here and wait until 12:30. I guess I could quickly run and get something to eat. I haven’t had anything and who knows how long Harry and I will talk.

As if on cue, my Skype tone goes off. He’s early! I answer it immediately. “Happy Valentine’s Day!!” Harry yells with his arms open wide. “What’s in the box?!?!” I practically scream at him. “You really wanna know, don’t you?” he laughs. “Yes! It’s killing me…can I please open it now?!” I say grabbing it. “Wait, baby. Isn’t there something you want to say to me first?” he says revealing a Happy Valentine’s Day balloon in the background of his room.

“Happy Valentine’s Day, baby. I love you.” I say with as much sweetness as possible. “Thank you, I love you more.” he says. “I love you most!” I shout before I start tearing open the package. I can’t wait any longer. I can’t believe everything that’s in here. “Everything for the perfect Valentine’s lunch/dinner date, plus some of your favorites.” Harry says smiling big. The box is filled to the brim with stuff.

There’s a Valentine’s plate and napkin, everything needed to make his mom’s spaghetti, a box of chocolates, a teddy bear with more chocolates, a Pascal doll, and a wrapped present of some sort. “Harry I don’t know what to say…thank you so much. This is all great!”

He picks something up in front of him. “Look, I have a matching plate and napkin here. And I have my own spaghetti ingredients. Bet you can’t guess what we’re doing first.” He winks at me. “I know much you liked my mum’s when she made it for you the day you met her.” He is unbelievable.

We made his mom’s spaghetti together although in different parts of the world. Both of ours ended up being ready at around the same time. We put it on our matching plates and got forks and ate together. “So when can I open that present you sent me?” I say before stuffing another forkful of spaghetti in my mouth. “Right before we log off. I love your shirt by the way.” he says.

“I was wondering when you would notice. So how did you get this package to the school on time for today?” I’m really quite curious how he pulled this off. “I just looked up how long it typically takes for a package coming from London to get to New York, sent it, and hoped for the best. Obviously it worked out.”

“Wow, sure did. This recipe really is great. I’m so glad I have it now. Tell your mom I said thank you for letting me have it.” I say finishing it up. “It was her idea to give it to you. She really likes you and so does Gemma.” he says. Aw! “I’m so relieved. Well we’ve had our meal. Now what?” He turns on his TV and puts in a DVD.

“So I tried to watch Tangled without you a couple months ago and I couldn’t. It wasn’t the same without hearing you sing along. We’re going to watch it now and you are going to sing along.” I squeal with delight and he laughs. I sing along the whole time and I catch him watching me half the time. At the end he quotes the last part. He says “Have I ever told you I’ve got a thing for brunettes?” and I laugh. “Hey, I thought you like blondes!” I say fake pouting.

“Okay, it’s not the end of our date, but I think it’s appropriate for you to open that present now.” he says. I hurry and get the box again taking it out and unwrapping it. It’s a shirt! I pick it up and quickly realize that this isn’t just any shirt.

On it is a picture of Harry and I that I told him I really loved in the shape of a heart. It’s the one we took in front of Buckingham Palace. The word Forever is underneath it in the Tangled style. I am so close to tears and even more so when Harry takes off the sweater he’s been wearing to reveal that he has one too.

“I love this so much! Thank you so much, baby.” He blows a kiss to me and I catch it. “I’m glad you like it. I was afraid they wouldn’t turn out the way wanted them to but they came just the way I put in the order.” Again, he is unbelievable. “I can’t believe you did all this for me. This is all so sweet.” “It was no trouble, sweetheart. But I think there’s something else in there.” he says.

I look again and sure enough there’s one more thing. Another piece of clothing. It’s a sweater but it’s pretty big. I unfold it and it’s the one he gave me to wear when I was in London. “I know how much you loved that sweater so I sent it to you for you to have it there.” he says smiling as I smell it while hugging it. “It smells just like you. It’s almost like you’re really here.” His face kind of falls a little before he says “One day soon, Hannah. I promise.”

From there we continue our games of ‘would you rather…’ and ‘never have I ever…’ from when we played them multiple times in London. It gets pretty funny and we learn even more about each other, if that’s even possible. The more I learn about him the closer to him I feel and it makes me fall for him even more.

“Wait…you have a tattoo?!” I ask him. “Yeah! I can’t believe you didn’t know.” he says surprised. “I never saw it!” He laughs and says “It’s on my back and you never saw me without a shirt on.” Oh yeah..we never did go swimming or anything. “What’s it of? Can I see?” He lifts up his shirt and turns around. It’s in the upper center of his back. It’s very simple: a black cross.

“I love it. It’s not too big or fancy.” I say. He puts his shirt down and turns back around. At this point I’ve eaten the chocolate Harry sent, all that’s left in the box is the teddy bear, Pascal doll, the shirt, his sweater, and the note that was taped on the side; our date has gone on for almost six hours. “Isn’t it almost midnight there?” I ask. “Yeah it is. I should probably go to bed soon. School tomorrow.” he says sadly.

“I don’t wanna keep you up. I should let you go, baby.” I also say sadly. “Okay, tonight was amazing. Happy Valentine’s Day, blondie. I love you so much.” he says blowing me a kiss. I catch it and say “Thanks for an awesome afternoon, Eugene. Happy Valentine’s Day. I love you so much more. Talk soon!”I blow him a kiss back. He catches it and says “I love you most. And hopefully…Bye!” he says before logging off.

I log off Skype and close my laptop. I grab my makeup bag and put it in the box before making the walk back to the dorm with it. On the way back I think back to our date and all the great things Harry sent me and what we did together. I have to admit that a couple times during it I thought about his lack of availability every weekend. I’ve tried to dismiss it and say it’s nothing but I can’t help but wonder the reason why.

I feel like until I find it out from him, I’m never going to truly rest easy. I would’ve brought it up today but I didn’t wanna put a damper on things. I’ll bring it up the very next time we Skype. I don’t want to talk about something like this over the phone. I get to the door and put my ear up to it. I don’t wanna interrupt Susan and Liam’s date. There’s silence so I decide to go in.
