A/N: Yes, I'm still alive. Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry for not writing! I've been very busy for school and I had this horrible writer's block. I just couldn't figure out what to write. It turned out to be this crappy chapter. It's messy and it doesn't really add up to the storyline. But it's better than nothing .. right?

Thank you all for subscribing and reviewing! One more week guys, and then Hellcats will air that one episode we've all been waiting for!

Oh yeah, and if you decide to review; don't be too harsh on me... I know this chapter is crappy...

Disclaimer: I do not own Hellcats, the CW does. Otherwise this chapter would've been better.

Chapter nine; somewhere only we know

A lot has happened in October and Marti was grateful when it was November. She and Julian were still seeing each other and their relationship grew stronger, even though Julian refuses to call it a relationship. He preferred the terms "affair" and "thing". Thankfully the semester would end in December, so they could see each other freely. She had to sign up for new classes by the end of the month, because the new semester started in January. The only problem she had, was picking classes, there were so many and she wanted to avoid the ones taught by Julian but she actually liked Constitutional rights. She asked Julian for advice but he said she should make her own choices. Therefore she decided to ask Morgan what he would choose.

"Marti, you know what I'm gonna choose. I want to specialize in criminal law, so I will pick the minors that fit best to the major I'm gonna do in the J.D.-program. You should do the same." Morgan said. "Perhaps you could consult Julian to help you, he can tell you more about the J.D.-program."

Marti just smiled and thought carefully what to say next.

"Yeah, I already did that. He said he couldn't help me."

Morgan was a bit surprised by what she said and he saw Wanda making a face. He had told Wanda by accident about his growing feelings for Marti and Wanda said he should take the risk. Wanda told him Marti wasn't seeing anyone at the moment and that Dan wasn't a threat. He decided to take the risk.

"Erhm Marti? What are you doing this Saturday?" he asked without looking at her.

"Nothing, probably rent a movie or something."

"Would you like to grab dinner with me on Saturday?" There, he said it, he took the risk.

Marti realized he was asking her out on a date and she tried not to laugh.

"Morgan, you're nice to hang out with, but I'm kinda seeing someone."

Morgan was flabbergasted by her response. Was she really seeing someone or was she making it up just so she didn't have to make up a better excuse?

"Who?"

"You don't know him. We just started dating so we're keeping a low profile." she said. She knew she had to keep it a bit vague and not tell a lot of details. Morgan didn't seem to buy it.

"I'm sorry, I hope we can stay friends."

"We were never really friends, you know that. I'll see you in class tomorrow." he said and he walked away, leaving Marti with mixed feelings.

Julian was having his monthly lunch with his sister. They already ate and Julian left to pay the bill. His phone was laying on the table and it vibrated. Annabelle was curious and looked for called-id. Nancy Drew. She wanted to answer desperately, but she controlled herself. Julian came back and she smiled.

"Nancy Drew called. Do you really need help from a fictional character or is it a cover-up?" she asked and the color is Julian's face disappeared a little. Then he smiled vaguely and grabbed his phone.

"I love you, you know that, but I wouldn't mind you keeping your little nose where it belongs." he said coldly in a lawyerly way. Annabelle had never seen him this way and was a bit worried.

"Are you feeling okay? You're acting weird."

"I'm okay, but I question people for a living and I would appreciate it not being questioned myself."

"Yeah sure, but when a girly called-id calls you I'm curious. That's my job as a sister. When a boy calls me, you always act worried. That's what big brothers do. So, when you're ready to tell me that you're dating anyone, I'm just one phone call away."

Julian felt bad for his behavior to his sister. He apologized to her.

"After the whole drama with you-know-who a few years back, I like to look out for you."

He knew what she was talking about and he just nodded.

Marti was at Julian's place and they were on the couch, as usual. Marti was getting tired of spending so much time inside. She understood that they couldn't see each other outdoors but that didn't mean she liked it.

"Julian..." she muttered. "What are your plans for this weekend?"

"I got invited for the annual black tie event that the Tennessee Bar Association throws. So I'll probably spend the weekend in Nashville."

Marti was disappointed. She wanted to spend the weekend together, somewhere outside Memphis. She just nodded and played with one of her curls.

"A penny for your thoughts?" he said and Marti smiled.

"I was thinking about us, about our situation."

"And what were you thinking?"

"I hate being indoors. Please don't get me wrong, but I want to show you to everyone. I want to show to everyone how happy I am with you."

Julian was quiet for a moment and then he chuckled. His fingers went through her hair and he tickled her a bit.

"Marti, we've talked about this before. You're my student, I'm your teacher. I'm about 18 years older than you. People will talk, and not in a very nice way."

"It's just not fair." she pouted and Julian thought she was adorable.

"I could tell you life's not fair, but I'm thinking you already know that. You can get suspended, I can get fired, loose my license." he said and Marti turned around so she could face him.

"Perhaps we shouldn't be seeing each other for a while. When your class is finished, we'll see what we'll do with our relationship." she found it really hurtful to say this but she couldn't stand the sneaking around.

"Where is this coming from?" he asked her and she shrugged.

"I've been thinking. Morgan asked me out and I wasn't able to tell him I was dating someone. Well I told him I was seeing someone, but I couldn't tell him it was you. That bothered me more than I thought it would."

He didn't know what to say and he was confused by his feelings. He didn't want to be territorial or possessive but he felt really jealous that someone had asked her out.

"I'm not sure what to say. Perhaps it would be good for us to catch some fresh air and sort things out. Then again, we've tried this before. Somehow we wouldn't stay away from each other. I like being with you, Marti." he said and then he said something Marti didn't expect.

"Come with me to the event. It's outside Memphis and if that doesn't work out, we'll quit. Let's see if the world outside Memphis is ready for us."

Marti kissed him happily, but Julian regretted this decision the moment he had said it.

Savannah had noticed Marti was happy during practice. She cornered her in their room. "Spill it." she demanded.

"Spill what?"

"Just spill it already. You were happy during practice. You've had this annoyingly happy smile on your face for the whole day. I know I'm all about positive energy, but you're smile is starting to become a little too much."

Marti laughed. She was too happy so she decided to share her news.

"I'm going to the black tie event from the Tennessee Bar Association!" her eyes lit up.

"Oh that's exiting news! With who? Don't you have to be a member of the Bar to be invited?"

Marti just nodded and Savannah's brain started working. She put two plus two together and her eyes grew big.

"Oh my god. You're going with that law professor of yours!"

"Please keep it a secret, we could get in trouble for this."

Savannah's eyes grew even more bigger.

"You're seeing him! He's the mystery guy you've been seeing. I mean, he can't get into trouble for taking you to some event, can he? I'm so happy for you!"

"Actually he can. Teachers and students can't interfere with one and other outside campus grounds." Marti said and Savannah looked disappointed. Marti kinda smirked at her and giggled a bit.

"And we're having a relationship."

Savannah screamed and she hugged Marti. Marti couldn't help but smirk.

"Please don't tell anyone." and Savannah swore she wouldn't even tell Dan.

Marti felt happy that she told at least someone about the relationship, even though she almost broke things off.

"Can you help me pick out what to wear?" Marti asked and Savannah's eyes sparkled a bit.

"Off course! I know just the right shop to go to!" she said and Marti just kept on smiling.

Marti wanted to surprise Julian that evening to make up for her behavior from that afternoon. She was wearing a trench coat and sexy lingerie under it. She wondered what his reaction would be. She rang the door bell. A woman opened the door.

"Can I help you?" the woman asked and Marti had a feeling they've met before. She opened the door a while back when Marti went by to visit Julian. It was the same woman. Marti quickly checked the woman's hand and to her surprise she saw a ring on the left ring finger. Marti stood there in shock.

"Are you his wife?" she stuttered, the woman didn't answer.

"And who are you?" she asked it a derogatory way.

"I'm his girlfriend." Marti said softly and she could feel the tears swelling in her eyes. But then the woman smiled and opened the door some more.

"Sweetie, the ring is on my right ring finger. That's left from your point of view. I'm his sister, Annabelle. You must be Nancy Drew." Annabelle hugged her and Marti was still shocked. Julian was gonna be very pissed when he would figure out Marti had told his sister that she was his girlfriend. She was gonna be in trouble...
