Remembers, secrets and lies - 2
"Ok… are you going to tell me it or should I ask you?" asked Lionel a little upset as they were going to the farm on the limousine. Martha had her look lost on the window and ignored his voice. "Martha?!"
"What?"
"Have you listened to me?"
"Sure" said without thinking "No… sorry… what have you said?"
"How couldn't you ever tell me that you married another man before marry Jonathan?!"
"That's something that I let on the past, Lionel… I… I divorced him, ok? I… I never imagined that was going to happen"
"It doesn't matter if you still or not married with him, Martha… you're going to become my wife… I would like to know all about you… I've been alone for years and you know about Lillian!!"
"It's not the same…"
"Isn't it?!"
"No"
There was silence again, and Martha left her look to get lost again through the dark crystal of the limousine's window…
FLASHBACK
When Martha celebrated her seventeenth birthday her father introduced to her a man who should be twenty years old, not even more.
"This is Thomas Mayfair, one of my colleagues at the office… He's the best, he will arrive really high… and I want you to meet him better"
"How do you do Mr. Mayfair?" said Martha politely giving her hand to the man of shiny green eyes.
"How do you do Mss. Clark?" said the man kissing her hand. And Martha smiled and he smiled too.
Some days later the same man came to their home to have dinner with the family, and before sit on the table he went to her room and knocked the door.
"Excuse me, Mss. Clark… but I didn't gave you any present on your birth party… so I took it today…" and he gave a big large box to her.
"Oh! That wasn't necessary… any of my father's friends give me any present for my birthdays… they just come for business…" said Martha taking the present.
"I'm sure of that… but I thought that a smile like yours deserved a present…" said him as Martha opened the box.
"Oh my god!" exclaimed the young girl. It was a long blue dress with a low-cut neck.
"Do you like it?"
"I love it!" and she jumped to the man's arms and kissed his cheeks to thanks his present. "It's wonderful!! Can I put it now?"
"Of course… it's yours… you can wear it when you want…" he smiled and left her alone to put on the dress.
Some days later Mr. Mayfair invites Martha to his house, where he had horses, and a big swimming pool. That day, when Martha went back home, she told her mother that she was falling in love with a guy who was older than her.
"Be careful with your father's friends, honey…"
"I… I didn't tell you that…"
"Isn't this guy Thomas Mayfair?"
"He is!" shouted her laughing "How could you find it out?!"
"I'm your mother… I read your mind" whispered Mrs. Clark kissing her daughter's forehead. "Just be careful, ok?"
"Ok, mum… but he's so sweet with me…" said Martha as she closed her eyes and got asleep.
The third week that the young Miss. Kent visits Mr. Mayfair, he kissed her as he was helping her to go out the pool, and some minutes later he was stealing her innocence, she lost her virginity.
Since that day Martha used to go to Mr. Mayfair's house twice or more times a week, and there wasn't any time that they didn't loved each other on the swimming pool, on the living room's sofa, on the bath, or on any of the hundreds of rooms that there were on the house. Until the day that Martha arrived there with a sad look…
"What's the matter sweetie… do you have problems on the school?" asked Thomas.
"No… it's not that…" she said nearly crying "I'm pregnant…"
"What?!" he shouted standing up "Are you sure?"
"I tried three tests… all said I am…"
"Oh my god! Have you told your parents?!"
"No… I haven't yet"
"Great! 'Cause you're not going to tell them nothing… You're going to leave now, and you're not going to come back here never"
"You can't do that to me! Not now!"
"Sure I can! That's live, sweetie… take the door, and go away… Your father can pay a lot of doctors to make you lose this baby in silence…"
THE PRESENT
"Martha? Martha?" said Lionel trying to take Martha back to herself.
"What?" exclaimed Martha turning round.
"We've arrived"
"Oh… ok… good bye, dear" and she left the car. But Lionel followed her.
"Wait… Wait!" he grasped her wrist "Are you really leaving without say me anything else?"
"Hi guys! What's going on?" said Clark coming to them.
"You're mother…"
"What?" he asked.
"Nothing!" said Martha quickly. "Lionel's leaving"
"Are we going to speak?" said Lionel staring at her eyes.
"Bye darling… see you tomorrow…" said Martha walking to the house without giving any kiss to Lionel.
"What's the matter? Have you argued?" asked Clark.
"Not exactly… It just that secrets aren't good for the relationships… and this time is your mother who has something to tell us…"
