It had been days since Hannah had seen Shaun. They had talked almost non-stop since the fire department, but no matter how hard they tried they could never get together. Their other relationships had began becoming more apparent. Her boyfriend had been getting more and more jealous by the day about her constant texting. He had been picking fights and sneaking around her just to try to figure out who it was she was texting. Due to her circumstances she knew it was crucial she did not get caught. She dearly missed Shaun though and they had agreed to pick up a shift together on Friday. However it was only Wednesday and so far she felt like she was going to die. Friday was too far away.
She wants to her his voice, feel his touch, see the love in his eyes, and feel the passion of his kiss. All she could think about was him. She needed him desperately. She just had to bide her time.

Shaun was a wreck. He was stuck in a marriage that was nothing more then a show in his mind. He had found someone great and was having to put up with bullshit that was keeping him from her. Hannah was more then just a fling or girlfriend to him. She was amazing. She was perfect in his mind. He had to spend days off in the midst of this and it was killing him. He missed her desperately.
Shaun had been on a nonstop day dreaming state for days. He yearned for the next chance to touch her. He was daydreaming about her touch when he felt his phone vibrate. It was his boss. "Fuck" he thought. "What does this fucking prick want?" He picked the phone up, swiped to answer, he listened as his boss asked him to pick up a shift. A driver had called in and they were desperate. They couldn't find anyone to work. Shaun asked who it would be with and when he learnt it was Hannah he smiled his devilish smile and agreed to it.

Hannah had just awoke from a nap at her station when she noticed 5 missed calls on her phone. 4 from her boyfriend and 1 from her boss. "What does he want" she thought to herself. She didn't particularly like talking to her boss, but she picked up the phone and swiped his name anyway. She dreaded every ring. He answered and told her she needed to come in her next shift around 0400. When she asked he told her she was going to be taking a trip to Carolina beech. It was bls and a self paid up front discharge. She sighed and agreed, already dreading the trip with her partner. She hung up and looked to the other couch. Her partner had just woke up and asked what that was about. She told him and he quickly laughed and told her he had taken a day off their next shift and sarcastically told her to enjoy.
She laid back down and sighed. What dumbass would she get stuck with driving her. She quickly sent Shaun a text telling him about it but got no reply. She closed her eyes and was almost asleep when her phone vibrated. It was Shaun. She instantly woke back up as she opened the message. She instantly became wet when he said "I can't talk right now, but I will see you at 0400 for that same call."
She was overjoyed. She wanted to scream in excitement. They were going to a beach together and it was going to look totally innocent. This could be the best shift ever.

Shaun's shift was dragging. He was hours away from embarking on his journey with Hannah and the excitement was becoming overwhelming. He had never been this excited about a trip anywhere with anyone before. He was almost giddy inside. He couldn't wait to see her, touch her, and talk to her.
Time was dragging. The one time he wanted to run nonstop so time would speed up, all they had done was sit on station. It was painfully slow, as he was painfully missing her.
He could close his eyes and see her, every detail of her. From her hair, to her toes, beautiful toes. She hates her toes he thought to himself, if only she knew how beautiful they were to him. He thought about her tattoos, the one thing that was repulsive to him before was now an extreme attraction. Her tattoos were not aimlessly scattered throughout her body without meaning. They had meaning and stories to tell, and by touching them and admiring them he could, even if for a split second, relive that memory with her. Good or bad, he didn't care. He was there with her on that trip of reminiscence.
Tones dropped, finally something to pass the time he thought. He was never so enthusiastic about a shortness of breath call that didn't involve backing Hannah up. He sprung up and pushed his slight hardon down that he had developed while thinking about her.
He went and ran his call. Finished it, and realized it hadn't taken nearly as long as he had hoped.
Time drug on.

Hannah had been home all day with her boyfriend. Culling off his advances was becoming a chore for her. She didn't want to be touched by anyone other then Shaun ever again. She was so madly in love she thought herself to be crazy. She didn't think anyone could love her the way she loved him, and was terrified he was going to wake up and realize she wasn't what he had thought. Even through this terror though she loved him enough to at least stick it out. Maybe she could be wrong about a man for the first time in her life.
She was so uncomfortable in her home now. Her boyfriend had become extremely jealous of her texting conversations with Shaun. She was tired of his advances and really tired of his comments. This day couldn't move any slower she didn't think.
All she could do to pass the time and not risk his attention was scroll her tumblr and Facebook. She had seen the same posts a hundred times in the past couple of hours. She was dying to text Shaun, but really didn't want to deal with the comments.
