Chapter 02: Searching for dad and finding a sister
The two lovers continued kissing and caressing each other's bodies until Marti felt Julian's member pressing on her belly bottom more and more. Their touching got them both excited.
"I can't have enough of you," Julian tried laughing about the situation.
"So what are you waiting for," Marti purred into his ear.
Julian needed no further encouragement as they went on for round two
*x*
An hour later, the couple had managed to get out of bed. Julian leaned down to kiss Marti once again when a strange noise came from her tummy. Next moment Marti was blushing furiously and Julian was laughing away.
"Anything I can munch?" Marti asked Julian trying to bear off her embarrassment.
"Are you up for bacon and eggs?" Julian answered.
She nodded. Julian wore a pair of boxer shorts and handed over to Marti one of his shirts when another sound was made. Julian still laughing headed towards the kitchen.
"I don't see anything funny about all this," Marti said to him following him.
When they got to the kitchen, Julian went to the fridge and took four eggs and the packet of bacon.
He gestured for Marti to sit on the stool but the girl decided to go to the fridge and took out the orange juice. She looked around searching for the glasses and came to sit with two glasses in her hands.
Marti sat a stool while Julian was preparing breakfast. There was something extremely sexy about this man and Marti couldn't take her eyes off him.
When breakfast was done and eaten, Marti started thinking about something.
'Could Julian help me find my father' she thought.
"Julian?" she then asked.
"What is it Marti?" he answered.
"There is something I want to ask you. I need a favor" Marti answered and winced.
"Shoot away so far it's legal," Julian answered.
Then went to the living room and sat on the couch. Julian enlaced Marti and listened. Marti explained about her family history and how she is trying to locate her dad.
"You think you can help me this?" she finally said.
"I'll see what I can do," Julian answered while holding her hand tight.
"Family issues are never simple," he said in an evasive tone.

A few days later, Marti was at the Rat reading an article about how cheerleading was perceived outside the US. Her mother was going about the bar with drinks to serve the clients. Wanda suddenly saw Julian walking in. She had this feeling that there was something between her daughter and her teacher. Wanda being Wanda went straight to Marti.
"There is that hot law professor of yours" Wanda told Marti gesturing towards the door.
Marti turned around to see Julian and took a deep breath before turning back to her mother.
"He used to be my law professor last semester," she started "and now he's just a guy, you know just nice guy."
"Have a crush do we?" she persevered.
"No I don't have a crush" Marti answered while Julian was walking towards them.
Unfortunately Marti was blushing and Wanda took the opportunity of teasing her daughter.
"Oh he's just a guy, nice guy…" Wanda mocked Marti's words.
"Mom just stop" Marti answered just as Julian was by her side.
"Miss Perkins," Julian greeted Marti.
"Hi" Marti answered trying to sound normal.
"Mrs. Perkins" Julian greeted Marti's mother.
Julian leaned to shake Wanda's hand and Marti clenched her hands on the stool not to hug him in front of her mother.
Wanda noticed this but spoke to Julian instead.
"Place your sorrows" she smiled.
"I've got to be in court so we'll have to make this brief so should we…" Julian then looked at Marti and pointed towards the tables.
Marti looked up at him proud that he could stay so "lawyer like" in a situation like this.
'But of course he is a lawyer' Marti bit her lips fighting back a smile.
"Oh speak freely counselor, my daughter and I have no secrets" Wanda said .
Julian starred at Marti probably a little too long as this gave Wanda the confirmation she needed. Marti looked scared there and Julian understood.
"Um… we should discuss this privately," he insisted trying not to look at either of the woman.
"Now you got me curious" Wanda answered settling by the bar counter.
Marti then explained to her mom that she had asked Julian to do a check on Rex Perkins and see what had happened to him after he left them both. Wanda seemed upset at this but stayed to listen to what Julian had found.
Apparently Rex had gotten into trouble and was ordered to go to rehab to get him clean from alcohol. He then remarried.
"Are you sure you want to know about all this" Julian asked Wanda who was clearly upset.
"We need to know" Marti answered him.
Wanda asked the bartender for a bottle and served herself a glass to listen to the rest. Rex's wife Judith met in a crash accident and since then there were no more records of him.
"There is one other thing." Julian stated carefully looking at Marti.
"I can handle it," she answered him.
Julian handed Marti a picture of the girl she had met in a music shop a few days back when she had started looking for her father.
"What has she to do with anything?" Marti questioned Julian.
"Her name is Deirdre Perkins." Julian said carefully "She is the daughter of Judith and Rex."
It took some time for Marti to process the information.
"She knew" Marti pondered. "She knew and she lied right to my face."
Marti just left her seat and walked outside leaving Julian and Wanda at the Rat.
*x*
Marti went to the music shop and sorted things with Deirdra. After a drifty start, they started talking and appreciating each other's company.
Meanwhile at the Rat, Julian was upset to see Marti leave like this. Wanda had served herself another glass and thought it wouldn't do him harm to have one before heading out.
"Can I have one of those" he asked Wanda.
She just passed him the bottle and Julian served a small amount of the liquor.
"Do you honestly love my daughter," Wanda blurted out.
Julian was shocked at Wanda's comment but did not show it.
"I don't understand what you are implying Mrs. Perkins" he answered back.
"You may be a good liar," Wanda continued "but Marti still hasn't mastered that talent as yet."
Julian did not answer and instead sat on one of the stools.
"It's not…" Julian tried to find the right words.
"I just need to know you'll take good care of her," Wanda interrupted "and not hurt her like how Rex did."
"I will try" Julian said looking sad and concerned.
Wanda then nodded and walked towards the storage room and locked herself up to cry. Julian waited a few minutes, finished his drink and then left the Rat. He had a case to plead and could not get late.
*x*
Later that evening, Marti and Deidre were playing the guitar and Wanda was glad to see the girls reunited like this. Despise all his faults, Rex had managed to produce two pretty daughters.
Deirdre needed to leave shortly after that and Wanda asked if Marti could stay on a little longer. Marti thought that Wanda might be asking about Rex or about Julian and was not in any mood for any kind of explanations.
It had started to rain, so Marti walked Deidre to her place under her big umbrella and then wondered what to do next. She took her phone out to dial and when she was about to press the call button, she stopped and put her phone back inside her pocket.
Marti wanted to be with only one person right then. Determinedly, she walked towards Julian's house. When she got to his place and rang the doorbell, Julian greeted her with a kiss before asking her to come inside.
"I don't want you falling ill because of me" he told her.
"It's been a weird week" Marti started off. "I just wanted to say thank you"
"Could have emailed," Julian answered with his trademark smirk.
"I could have emailed," Marti answered mimicking his tone. "But then I wouldn't have been able to do this."
Marti snaked her arms around Julian's neck and kissed him. Julian circled her waist and they broke off their kiss to breathe.
"That's right. That kind of correspondence does have its limitations" he smiled at Marti.
"So I have a sister now, want to hear about it?" Marti asked him trying not to get so glued to his lips.
"Yeah but not now" he answered seeing what she would do next.
