Previously on Hellcats: "I do like you a lot, Marty," he finally admitted "more than I should for a student… but I love my wife too."
Chapter 02: Lied Right To My Face
"What?" Marty asked as she hadn't understood what Julian just told her.
"What happened yesterday…," Julian started
"… was a mistake" Marti interrupted the man.
She stepped away from his grip and held her arms on her chest like searching for a defensive armor.
"Let me explain …," Julian tried.
"You lied right to my face?" she snapped at the man, while trying to remain stoic.
"Marti I just got caught in the moments we shared" he replied.
"You had one phrase to say," Marti's voice was now wobbling.
"It's not easy …," Julian pleaded.
"Marti I am married and…" Marti paused and looked straight into his eyes "…do you have any kids?"
Julian took a deep breath before nodding.
"My daughter Niki is five years," Julian admitted.
"How could you do this?" Marty was weeping "to your family and to me"
"Marti… I" Julian tried to explain
"Just stop Julian I need to leave" Marti said and walked into his room to get dressed.
Marti walked out of Julian's room a few minutes later.
"Marti…" Julian attempted
"I can't Julian, it hurts too much", she answered and quickly proceeded to go out of his house.

That afternoon Marti headed to the Rat as she had promised to help her mom out with some orders.
"I saw you walking off with that hot professor of yours yesterday night," Wanda started.
"Can you stop?" Marti told her mom.
"Marti?" Wanda insisted.
"Julian wanted to talk to both Morgan and me" Marti finally answered. "Nothing romantic about that you see."
"You did not come home after that" Wanda persevered.
"And how would you know?" Marti asked clearly annoyed at her mother's questions.
"It was late and the kids took Travis out to party so I just stayed the night at Cheer town" Wanda explained, making her point. "That's why I can say you did not come home after that"
Marti's eyes widened both of shock and fear.
"Am I to give you my schedule minute by minute?" Marti finally replied. She did not want to talk about Julian and definitely not to her mother.
"Have a little crush do we?" Wanda went on.
"I'm done here," Marti finally said and walked out on her mother leaving her with the orders to make.

A few days later, Marti was at the supermarket getting the groceries for the hellcats. This week was on Marti and Savannah to buy food and the other necessities.
She left Savanah at the fruit stall to head towards the cereals and while she was trying to fetch those who were right on top, a helping hand came to her rescue. I was Julian.
"Thanks but I would have managed" Marti just told him coldly, throwing the cereal boxes in the cart before turning her back on him.
"We have to talk Marti," Julian grabbed her hand making her swing to face him.
"Could have emailed," Marty answered as she tried to act unconcerned.
"I could have emailed," Julian answered back in the same tone "but I wouldn't have been able to do this."
Julian went straight for Marti's lips and Marti cursed silently to her weakness as she gave in to him and deepened the kiss.
Julian's hands gripped on Marti's waist while Marti's hands got lost in his hair.
"Marti you think this will…" Savannah came towards the girl looking at her items before looking at to see Marti with someone.
Julian and Marti both leaped backward at the sudden intrusion.
"Savannah," Marti started but stopped looking at her friend's face.
"Um… er," Savannah was embarrassed. "…Mr Parrish?"
Savannah was in shock to see Marti and her teacher in a very compromising situation.
"You do realize you need to be careful," Savannah said getting over her initial shock. "I don't need to explain what could happen."
"Savannah… it's complicated," Marti said looking at Julian.
"Your friend is right," Julian looked back at Marti "We have to be careful."
"Is that what you were doing all this time?" Savannah continued "Helping Travis was your excuse to go be with your teacher?"
"Julian nearly got me kicked out from the case for helping Travis" Marti thought back about the events.
"Actually miss Perkins, I did kick you out from the case" he smirked using her family name.
Marti rolled her eyes at the comment.
"Whatever," she stuck her tongue out at Julian and turned to Savannah. "I need a favor"
Savannah knew what Marti would ask but her nodded.
"I need to talk to Julian so…."
"Just go," her friend answered back "I'll get the groceries to Cheer town don't worry"
Marti walked to her friend and hugged her tightly "Thank you"
"We still need to talk when you get back" Savannah shouted to her friend while Marti and Julian were heading out.
Marti realized he had left his cart as well in the supermarket but did not even bother to bring that up. Instead he stopped her but holding her hand tightly within his.
"We still need to talk Marti," Julian started.
"I know," Marti answered feeling awkward again. "Might be easier to talk at your place than outside with potentially more people we know see us."
"My wife and daughter are coming this afternoon" Julian stated impassive waiting for her reaction.
"And we possibly cannot talk at Cheer town…" Marti answered trying to forget his last phrase. "… but we can TALK at my place."
Julian noted that Marti insisted on the word "talk" and he just followed the girl to her place. Wanda was at the Rat and Travis had to get sets of administrative forms to start working at the Rat the next day.
Once inside Marti's and Wanda's small apartment, Julian felt uncomfortable.
They sat on the couch and Marti waited for Julian to start. He looked down for a few seconds and he explained about his past. Marti sat further back in her couch.
"I met my wife at university. We both had the same ideas and well one thing leading to another; we ended up getting married seven years ago. And then Niki was born two years later." Julian paused.
"And after a bad trial I had little over a year ago, I decided to get away from Atlanta and come teach at Lancer. Lexi was still on contract and so she decided to stay back until the end of it and got a transfer to come work here."
"So every weekend I used to go there to see my family. Lexi hadn't done anything wrong for me to want someone else… but when I met you Marti, things just happened." Julian looked up at Marti wondering what she would think of him.
"I tried hard to resist," he started "… but you were… are so intriguing."
Marti faked a smile.
"Is that a good thing?" Marti blew out.
"You are just so lively and a rebellious student who reminded me of what my job is about." Julian explained. "Three strikes happened thanks to you Marti and your perseverance"
"For which you had kicked me out" Marti smiled thinking at what he told Savannah.
"And taken you back in", Julian corrected.
"That's because Travis had sacked you, Professor Parrish," Marti rolled on to mimic his honeysuckle southern accent.
Julian just smiled and continued on the real subject. "Marti, I am not proud of myself…"
"Then why…" Marti tried to get an explanation.
"Attraction Miss Perkins" he told the girl.
Julian tentatively approached his hand to push away a strand of hair falling on Marti's face.
"I felt something the moment you walked late inside my classroom" he smirked at the reminiscing. "Had I not been your teacher, I would have kissed you the first time I saw you." Julian told the girl.
"And you think I would have let you?" Marti scolded him.
Marti and Julian had gotten their heads so close to each other that their noses touched sending them a jolt of electricity.
It was inevitable. Marti leaned in and kissed Julian. At that point they just forgot the rest of the world.
They got up from the couch and Marti led him to her room.
Once inside, Julian couldn't take it anymore and kissed Marti once again, letting his hands wander her curves until he barely touched her breast through her T-shirt.
Marti moaned at his touch which encouraged Julian in his exploration...
His lips left Marti's to go near her earlobe and he started sucking and licking it while his hands went under her T-shirt to mold her perfect breasts.
Marti then decided to remove Julian's shirt, nearly tearing it off in the process, and for a second, looked at his torso before leaving a trail of kisses all over him.
Julian removed Marti's T-shirt and unclasped her bra and then let his hands wander a little downer and reached Marti's panties underneath her skirt. Marti gasped at this intrusion as Julian was rubbing his fingers at her now wet entrance.
They walked to Marti's bed removing in the process the rest of their clothes.
Julian positioned himself and kissed her. Marti bucked her hips making him enter her. Julian groaned from Marti's initiative and pushed in deeper causing Marti to moan.
Julian stopped kissing Marti to play with her nipples while slowing down. He sucked her right breast, while his right hand was squeezing Marti's left one, making her squirm in delight...
Marti and he switched positions and she was now on top of him.
Julian couldn't help but admire this athletic young woman who was offering herself to him. With each trust her breast were moving exciting him even more.
They started moving in rhythm and they both screamed when they climaxed.
With his last thrust, he released himself inside Marti and waited inside her while kissing her lips so ever so lightly. Marti's smile made him smile.
Julian held on to Marti waist and was kissing her shoulders. He was wondering how he was going to find a solution to this impossible task.
He realized he just couldn't leave Lexie but at the same time he loved Marti. This was not fair to both women.
His thoughts were interrupted by a phone call which got Julian out of bed.
"Yes… yes. I'll be there" he hung up the phone and bent down to Marti.
"Marti I have to go fetch Niki," Julian kissed Marti lightly on her head.
Marti simply nodded and they both walked to her bathroom and took a quick shower. When they stepped out, Marti could not look at him.
Julian got dressed quickly and walked towards Marti's door.
He then turned around and cupped Marti's face with his hands for her to look at him.
"I'm so sorry," he said and left the apartment.
Marti closed the door behind her and she then started to sob. She was thinking about the fact that now she was having an affair with a married man. She then turned around and faced her mother's clock
"S—t, I'm late for class"
*x*
Meanwhile at the Rat…
A lady and her child walked inside looking around. They walked around the place before deciding to settle at a random table.
"May I help you ladies," Wanda asked them.
"I'm actually waiting for my husband," the lady told Wanda back.
"Mommy I want a coke," the little girl said while gripping onto her Teddy Bear.
"Hello young lady," Wanda smiled at the girl "and does that Teddy Bear want something to eat?"
"He wants cookies," the girl grinned back at her.
"Niki, just one ok," her mother scolded her.
Wanda left the two of them to fetch their order. When she returned to the table, she couldn't help wanting to know more about these two newcomers.
"You are new here?" Wanda asked but it was more of a statement. She knew just everyone on the campus and around campus.
"Just got transferred to Lancer," the woman smiled. ""I just flew in and have my first class in 15 minutes so my husband was coming to take Niki home"
"Mommy's a teacher," the little girl said before munching on her cookie.
"Really? What will you teach here?" Wanda inquired.
"Constitutional Law" the woman answered much to Wanda's surprise and handed over her business card. It read Alexandra Johanes attorney at law
"So you are taking over my daughter's hot professor's classes," Wanda winked.
"Hot, huh?" the woman seemed curious.
"You know kids and their crushes for their teachers…." Wanda tried explaining.
Alexandra then thought of the times her husband was vague with her especially over the last few weeks on the phone or when he managed to get to Atlanta where she used to teach.
She used to be lawyer working non-stop and between courthouses. When she had Niki, she needed to have more time and a less stressful life, so started teaching while her husband had taken into a noble cause.
Her lawyer instincts had somehow remained unchanged and felt she could easily push Wanda a little to know what all this is about.
'Make The Lie Work For You' her husband would always say.
"Honey, why don't you go and get Teddy a cookie from the counter" Alexandra told her daughter.
The little girl happily ran off to the counter and Alexandra turned back to Wanda.
"I had a major crush on a law teacher too" Alexandra informed Wanda. "Tell me more about your daughter and her teacher"
"You see my daughter is denying," Wanda started "…but I know her well"
"A mother always knows,' Alexandra knew what to say to keep Wanda going
"And I think her teacher likes her too… well former teacher." Wanda corrected.
"This seems so romantic," Alexandra feigned interest
"Last time I saw them, they both headed the same way." Wanda continued "and she did not come back that night…."
Wanda was going on and on… but Alexandra was not listening any longer.
She saw Julian rushing in.
"Oh that's…" Wanda started
"I'm late thanks to you on my first day here Julian" Alexandra seemed angry at the man. She anyhow kissed her daughter goodbye and walked off without saying anything else to him.
"Daddy…." The little girl ran into his arms.
Wanda starred in shock at the scene that just took place in front of her.
'Marti is going to kill me' she thought to herself while craving for a shot of tequila which she ended up going for.
With all that happened, Julian then realized he had forgotten to tell Marti about her new teacher and put his daughter down to reach for the phone. Marti's phone was ringing but she did not pick it up.
Instead in Marti's room, a phone was ringing with a caller ID "Julian".
*x*
"My name is Alexandra Johanes" the woman started "and I will be following you this semester"
She went on with what she was expecting during the semester, asked all the students to introduce themselves shortly and started on her class.
An hour and a half later, the bell rang.
"Class is dismissed," Alexandra stated.
While all the students were gathering their books, she added "Miss Perkins, one word"
Marti approached the desk and waited for her new teacher to speak. Alexandra waited until all the students left the room and closed the door behind the last one before returning to Marti.
"What exactly is going on between you and my husband?" she asked Marti bluntly.
"I don't understand," Marti answered but started to think of the only possible answer.
"Johanes is my maiden name," the woman started explaining, her eyes never breaking contact with Marti's "my full name is Alexandra Johanes Parrish"
So that's about it for chapter two. Unfortunately Wanda is Wanda with all her flaws… and she puts her food right into a hot mess. Now what is Marti going to do? Hope you guys liked it. Cheers. Blue Dreamer.
