Aaaahhhhhh ... that was so sweet. I love the way you are plotting this with just enough loose ends to keep us on our toes! The way you have portrayed the difficulties of discovering whether the first attraction will sustain a relationship is just brilliant.

Thank you!! :D

Okay, finally got it edited, sorry for the delay!

Teri was sitting at the kitchen table counting down “five...four...three…two…one…zero” Right at zero, as if on cue, Martha yelled from the bedroom.

“TERI!!!!!! I NEED HELP!”

Teri bounced up--Knew she couldn’t do anything without me--She thought as she went into Martha’s room. “What Martha?” she asked.

“Which outfit looks best on me?” Martha asked her cheeks pink with excitement. “This one?” she held up a green business skirt and a white sweater “Or this one?” she held up blue skirt and a red sweater.

“Green and white,” Teri said.

“Ok.” Martha took the green skirt off the hanger. “Thanks for the advice Teri.”

“No problem, why are you so worried about tonight anyway?”

Martha blushed. “Well,” she began, her eyes sparkling as she thought about what she was about to say, “I’ve finally decided to tell Jonathan how I feel about him.”

Teri looked surprised. “You haven’t already?” she blurted out, the words coming before she realized it.

“Ha, ha, ha.” Martha said sarcastically as she rolled her eyes at Teri. “Very funny.”

“Well,” Teri said, “considering the amount of time you talk about him I figured you guys had already told each other how you felt.”

“No” Martha said, plopping on her bed. “I want to, but each time I try, I chicken out.”

“Don’t worry about what he’ll think.” Teri sat down next to Martha. “If he rejects you, then it’s his loss.”

“I can’t help but think I’ll be at a loss too if he rejects me.” Martha looked at Teri and smiled. “It’s like someone in the future needs me to stay with Jonathan, as if their life depended on it.”

Before Teri could respond the doorbell rang. “That’s probably Jonathan.” Teri got up and walked toward the door. “You might want to consider getting completely dressed Marty.” Teri pointed to the pajama pants Martha had thrown on after her shower a couple of hours before.

Martha blushed “Yeah,” she said as she quickly shut her door allowing Teri to leave and open the door.

“Hey Blondie.” Teri greeted Jonathan once she opened the door.

“Hey brown braid.” he teased. “Is Martha ready? Or do we get to talk for the usual ten minutes it takes her to finish?”

“I won’t take that long!” Martha yelled out of the bedroom laughing. She knew Jonathan was teasing and that she wasn’t the most punctual person; always late to something. A few dates before, Martha had fussing with her hair when Jonathan had come to pick her up, it took ten minutes to fix it right, and now both Jonathan and Teri teased her about being ten minutes late to everything.

“I’ll time you!” Jonathan said looking at his watch.

Martha glanced at her face in the mirror, she didn’t have very much make-up, but she could live with that, Jonathan had once said she had a natural beauty that make-up covered.

“…9…” Jonathan said, in counting down how many minutes she had left.

Martha grabbed her purse and glanced around the room for her shoes. Finally, she spotted them half covered under one of Teri’s blankets How the heck did they get there? She wondered, but her curiosity was cut short by Jonathan’s call of “…59…58…57...”

“Oh shut up Jonathan!” Martha laughed as she came out of her room completely ready.

Jonathan looked up from his watch, a grin on his face. He knew Martha hadn’t meant what she’d said, but the grin disappeared in an instant. “You look gorgeous,” he said as he took a breath, trying to regain the one she’d taken away.

Martha blushed. “Thank you Jonathan, you look nice too.” He did look nice, his dark blue sport coat, brought out the light blue in his eyes and he had on a pair of dark blue dress pants that matched the coat. He had on a slate grey polo on under the coat that looked really nice.

“Lets go,” he said offering her his arm, she took it and blushed as he looked at her again “You really look gorgeous.” He repeated as they headed towards the door

Sorry this took so long, I've been without a comp for the past couple of days (yes, it sucked not being able to come to the site!) but anyway, without any further ado, here's the next chapter.

Chapter 6: After dinner

Later, after Dinner Martha and Jonathan walked in a park Martha had gone to several times as a child. It was silent as they walked, but a comfortable silence, each wrapped up in their own thoughts.

“Martha?” Jonathan suddenly asked, as they were passing a bench.

“Yes?” Martha was startled out of her thoughts; she had still been trying to think of a way to tell Jonathan how she felt about him, so far she hadn’t thought of anything.

Jonathan was obviously nervous as he kept clearing his throat while he talked “Do you uhhh mind if we umm sit and *ahem* talk for a few minutes?”

“No, I don’t mind, is something wrong?” Martha asked, a small ball of dread beginning to form in the pit of her stomach. She just prayed that he wasn’t about to say something along the lines of ‘let’s just be friends’.

“No, actually nothing is wrong, but I want to talk to you about something” he seemed less nervous now but she could tell he was still a bit anxious.

“What about?” Martha sat on the bench and turned to face him.

“Ummm well you see, I’ve been thinking…umm, we’ve been dating for a while and I ummm well, you see, if it’s all right with you …”

Martha smiled and gently pressed a finger to his lips, cutting him off mid-sentence “I’d like that too.” She whispered an answer to his unasked question.

“Y-you would?” Jonathan was surprised to put it mildly.

Martha nodded “Yeah” she whispered still, not wanting to ruin the mood.

Jonathan grinned and blushed “Wow” was all he could say.

“Why are you so surprised?” Martha asked noting his surprised face.

Jonathan sighed and looked down into his lap where his hands were playing with his jacket. “I’m just a farmer Martha and you deserve so much bet...”

Martha cut him off mid-sentence again “No Jonathan, I don’t deserve better. You’re what I want, so you’re what I deserve.” Then, throwing all caution to the wind she leaned forward and gently pressed her lips to Jonathan’s.

Jonathan was obviously surprised, but he gently placed his arms around her, holding her close to him, as if afraid she’d suddenly back away.


A man in the shadows backed up silently, not quietly enough however for a stick snapped under his weight, seperating the man and the woman he’d been watching.

“Did you hear that?” The man in dark clothing heard his ex-girlfriend ask the blond.

“Yeah” The blonde looked around and apparently decided there was no one around because he turned to her and said “It must have just been an animal.”

Martha however wasn’t so sure “I-I don’t really feel right about this place Jonathan, can-can we go?” She asked “Please” she pleaded.

Jonathan looked around “Yeah,” he helped her up, “I don’t feel too hot about this place either.” He muttered to her. He looked around again, this time nearly catching a glimpse of the man in the bushes.

Damian shrank back to further block himself from view; hopefully the dumb farm hick was part blind and wouldn’t see him. Thankfully though, Jonathan’s mind was on other things and he turned around before he caught sight of the man.

After the couple had left, Damian came out of the bushes, shaking leaves off of his suit. He quickly made his way to the nearest building, went inside and asked to use the phone. Once on it, he dialed William Clark’s office phone, he knew his ex-girlfriends father would still be working this late, just like always.

“Mr. Clark?” Damian asked “This is Damian Lewis…I’d like to talk with you, but it’s an important matter that can not be discussed over the phone…It’s about Martha, Mr. Clark and a…ummm….crowd she’s been spending time with….Yes, I will be there as soon as I can.” Damian hung up and quickly called a cab to take him across town to the Law Offices of McCann and Clark.
