So for all you Marvin fans…. hope you enjoy it as well
Martin was confused, his heart was pounding and he was hungry. He had not eaten in days due to an intense case that as of yet was not solved. He needed nachos to help him focus, but it was in this delirious state that Martin realised something else. He needed Vivian.
For months he knew he had a crush on her but did not have the courage to ask her out. But now seemed the time to do it.
"Vivian. Did you get those reports back from the lab down town?"
"I'm going to get them after I have ran this print through AFIS"
"Listen, I'm heading that way soon also to pick up something to eat, so how about we both go?" Martin tried to keep his voice as businesslike as possible.
"Sure, I'll be with you in ten"
Ten minutes later…
Hiding a smile Vivian asked, "So what are you getting to eat Martin, Nachos again?"
Martin blushed. "I can't help but love them, they mean so much to me. There are only a few things that I would say are more important to me."
"And is Samantha one of those" Vivian gave Martin a knowing glance.
"She is yes, but she does not love me…. she loves jack. But she is not the only person I feel this way towards."
Vivian looked at Martin questioningly, but then realised she would get no more from him.
At the diner on the way to get the files …
"Martin, When Samantha was held hostage a few weeks ago, why did you do nothing? I know you have feelings for her and I was almost expecting you to go rushing in their playing Mr hero!"
Martin put down his nachos and looked at her intently. "Vivian, you know I have feelings for Samantha…everybody knows. But there is something that no one knows.
Vivian looked both perplexed and interested. "Go on." "I have feelings for you Vivian. I know you must be shocked and I know you don't feel the same way but let me have my say … let me get this out in the open. Ever since you covered my back when I shot that suspect… there has been something. It may just be that I need to repay you … but I think it is more than that. Over these past weeks I have grown to love you Vivian, and that is why I did not go in to save Samantha … because it not her I love anymore."
Vivian looked shocked. "Martin, Im married. You know that ant feeling I have towards you could go nowhere. We are co-workers and that is all, that is all we can ever be."
"Ok. It was worth a try. I have tried to get with Samantha and failed, and Jack shows no interest. So are we going to get those files then?"
Vivian looked appalled. "I will go on my own thank you very much" Vivian stormed out of the diner and jumped in a taxi, leaving Martin stood there alone.
"Why do I always do that? Instead of getting closer, I push them away. I love you Vivian, I do, please forgive me."
But no one was there to listen.
