Jack and Martha, After the storm.
Chapter number 1. The aftermath.
"Well it doesn't look to bad"Alf confirmed when he arrived at the surf club with Martha to see how much damage had been done.
"Yeah it's just pretty much broken windows and everything knocked over" Martha added. Jacks car then pulled up in the car park.
"Hey I thought you were going into work" Martha said.
"Yeah but the boss said that they had everything under control, so he sent me home" Jack told her.
"I wonder if the beach got stirred up to much" Alf changed the subject.
"Well why don't we go and check" Martha suggested.
"No, I'll check it in the morning".
"Me and Martha could go and check it now if you like" Jack told him.
"Yeah" Martha added.
Alf could tell that they were just trying to get some time alone so he agreed "Yeah that would probably be a good idea. Here take the torch with you, I'll see you back home".
Then Jack and Martha headed down the path that lead to the beach. "Well it doesn't look to bad I guess" Martha said, looking around at all the flattened shrubbery at the edge of the beach that was half covered in sand that had been blown onto of it.
"Yeah it could be worse" Jack added as they began to walk down the beach. It was a fairly pleasant walk, Jack had his arm around Martha's shoulders and Martha had her arm around Jack's waist, holding the torch in her other hand. There was silence for a while, but after a few minutes Jack finally broke it.
"Martha".
"Yeah" she asked smiling at him, there was a twinkle in her eyes and the moon let off just enough light so that Jack could see Martha's face in the darkness.
"Martha, before when you said that you were glad you were with me, did you really mean it?" he asked.
"Of course I did, I love you".
"I love you too" Jack said, they had stopped walking and were facing each other. Then their faces grew closer and they shared a very passionate kiss. When they finally broke apart Jack started kissing Martha on the cheek and working his way down and around her neck.
"God I love you" Martha said fairly quietly.
"Are you saying you love me or God?" Jack asked jokingly, pulling his head away from Martha's neck.
Martha laughed slightly. "You, silly" she said playfully hitting him on the arm.
About half an hour later they arrived back at Martha's apartment. "Well it doesn't look to bad on here" Jack commented.
"Yeah, I've cleaned up all the glass and put cardboard over all the windows until we can get someone in to fix them, so that's probably as much as we can do for now" Alf told them "Anyway good night, I'm off to bed".
"I should probably start heading home" Jack said when Alf had left the room.
"It's getting late, why don't you just stay here tonight" Martha said wrapping her arms around him and laying her head on his chest.
"I like the sound of that". They then headed off to Martha's room.
"Well I thing we've defiantly had enough drama for one day" Martha commented as they got into bed.
"Oh yeah, you can say that again" he said wrapping his arm around her.
Jack ran the back of his hand along Martha's cheek until she fell asleep in his arms, he stayed awake for a bit longer admiring her beauty, right now he felt like the luckiest man in the world.
