You Can't Stop Love
Chapter Thirteen
*Hannah's POV*
"O, Speak again, bright angel!" Romeo had said. It was eleven in the morning, my mom had to go to physical therapy, and Dustin was still sleeping. I was in my pj's, eating popcorn, being classy, and watching Romeo&Juliet. I looked to my left and noticed a little note laying on the couch that hadn't been there just a few minutes ago.
"Come find me! xoxo"
Oh, Dustin. Game on.
The first place I went to check was the kitchen. Not there. I made my way up to the shower, he wasn't there either. I checked all the bedrooms, behind cabinets and doors, underneath a few desks, in the closets. Not even close. On the inside of my laptop, I found a small, folded piece of paper.
"In the kitchen, not painted blue, the table holds another clue."
The kitchen table had a vase with a rose, two ham&cheese omelets, two cups of milk, and a note by a candle. How romantic. ♥ I wanted to eat, but I had to find him first, so I opened the note, and read once more.
"In a container very near hides something to you very dear."
My car keys! What a goose chase. I immediately ran to my mother's jewelry/music box in the living room. Ohyes, my keys. I left them there, and noticed there wasn't another note. Car keys.. The car, he's in the car!
Wrong. In the car, there was just another note. "When music fails, love doesn't. Check the laundry room. Don't get mad."
I went to the laundry room, which seemed odd, but I found a new summer dress and sandals, next to a white t-shirt and khakis. Beach date? (: Another note.
"You haven't found me yet? Come on, girl. Get it in gear. (: You'll find the next hint by your favorite drink."
Back to the kitchen? I opened the fridge, and in between a Dr. Pepper and a Gatorade was the next note.
"Look inside your favorite movie."
I ran to the living room, being cautious. But I failed so miserably, and tripped over an area rug. I felt so stupid, but I got up anyway, not worrying about the pain I felt in my arm. It wasn't too bad. I opened the DVD case to The Notebook, and the note said:
"Getting an idea? Remember your clues. Now go to your secret paradise."
I opened one of my two closets and looked inside. I had all of my clothes, shoes, dresses, important stuff, everything. I was a ninja in a movie, a lurking cat, just waiting to pounce on my prey. But he wasn't in there. I sat on my bed, relaxing, thinking of where he could be. Then I noticed another note on my dresser.
"Step outside. ♥"
I walked outside on my balcony, where I found chocolate, a dozen white roses, and Dustin on one knee.
"White dress, flowers, jewelry box for a ring, all of your favorite things. Hannah. I know I've only recently came back into your life. But the past year and a half has been absolutely amazing to me, and I love spending all of my time with you. I love you, and I wanna make this official and spend the rest of my life with you. I promise, I'll try as hard as I can, to make you happy, to keep you happy."
I started crying uncontrollably, as he got down on one knee.
"Will you marry me?"
