This is a story where Louisa and Danny are officially engaged and it shows how Martin reacts. Also Louisa feels unsure aswell. Feedback is much appreciated and I hope you enjoy!
I do not own anything!
Martin wasn't in the best of moods one dull Monday morning. It didn't help that he over heard the conversation between Pauline and Al the previous day. She was informing him that that stupid Danny Steele was likely to ask Louisa to marry him – why on earth would she marry that weirdo?
It wasn't long until Pauline came rushing in, late as usual.
"Sorry I'm late Doc!" she apologised as she walked into the kitchen to make herself a cup of tea.
"Why are you late Pauline?" Martin asked placing the cups he was drying onto the kitchen table
"Oh well, I was stopped on the hill by Mrs Tishell and she told me the latest gossip, you know about Louisa and…"
But before she could finish her sentence Martin interrupted
"Thank you Pauline, you don't need to go into too much detail" Martin grunted as he made his way to the consulted room.
Pauline smirked, as she knew he was clearly jealous.
Martin was thinking about Louisa as he sat at his desk. He didn't understand what Louisa saw in Danny. He always seemed full of himself in Martin's opinion. He never knew how to express his feelings towards Louisa, obviously he had feelings for her and that time when they kissed was wonderful clearly he didn't want it to end. What if Louisa does marry Danny?
Martin couldn't stand the thought of it. He couldn't imagine watching Louisa and Danny walking round hand in hand all the time; it was hurtful enough witnessing it now. What if they have children? Again the same feeling of disturbance and heartache washed over him. He was never one for children, but if he ever decided he wanted a family, then he wanted to with Louisa and only her.
He brushed the thoughts to one side as he started his day with the patients.
….
Meanwhile, Louisa came into work with piles of paperwork, which she placed on her desk. This was one of the disadvantages of being Headmistress was all the writing and dealing with entries of new school children.
Other than the thoughts of what she needed to do, she was thinking of Danny's arrangements of getting married. Also, on the other hand there was Martin. She had a strange feeling and connection with Martin that she had never felt before with any one else. Louisa ignored it and knew it was worthless trying to spark any relationship of any kind with Martin as he always appeared to say something unnecessary towards her. Maybe he didn't want to get the ball rolling too soon, but it had been a couple of years now with him being the local GP. She didn't understand that aspect on him.
However with Danny, she felt somewhat happier. He seemed to pass comments instead of criticise, smile and not put a miserable face on, actually go somewhere with the relationship rather than staying in the same place all the time and not try to start anything.
Louisa had too many things going through her mind. She settled down with the thought that she was now with Danny and there was no need to worry about Martin.
She turned on her office computer ready to start the day.
More to come shortly...
