An unlikely couple

Chapter 1, Too confusing for me.

This is my first fanfic, please tell me what you think.

"Oh no I'm gonna be late again, Grand dad's gonna kill me" Martha said to herself as she looked at her watch and ran to the door grabbing her handbag on the way. Once again she had gone off into her own little world. It had been a whole month since Jack had gone to the city on undercover work, and when he left he had broken up with her, yes they had their problems, but every relationship did didn't it? A tear began to run down her face, she was so lonely. 'No Martha, pull yourself together' she said very sternly to herself as she got to Noah's bar where she worked.

"Well you're here early" Beth Hunter said sarcastically as Martha rushed through the door of the surf club and put one of the work shirts over top of what she was wearing.

"Sorry, I dosed off again," Martha said very apologetically, still catching her breath.

"That's like the third time this week, just be glad your grandfather doesn't work here on a Friday, anyway I've got to take these boxes over to the dinner, will you be right here?" Beth asked as she lifted a box and turned towards the door.

"Yeap" Martha said as she turned around to serve some customers, only to see Scott standing there, Martha froze, things had been a bit weird between both of them lately, it was almost like they had a connection, 'could he feel it to?' She thought to herself 'or was it just because they were both lonely?' Scott and Haley had broken up a few weeks after they got to Paris the reason being that Scott had found out that Noah wasn't his baby, it wasn't Kim's either, the father was some guy called Steve that Haley had met at the pub one night. After Scott found out he had come straight back from Paris leaving Haley and Noah there.

"Are you awake?" Martha's thoughts were interrupted by Scott's voice.

"Oh, yeah, I just had a late night last night, that's all" Martha explained, looking down at her feet to avoid making eye contact.

"Anyway" Scott continued, trying to get out of yet another weird moment between the two of them "could I please get an orange juice?" He had that friendly smile on his face that she had seen so many times before but this time it made her feel warm inside and she smiled back at him.

"Yeah, sure".

As Martha handed Scott his glass Scott's hand brushed up against Martha's and she could feel an electric current pass between them this made the whole situation even more confusing.

Little did Martha know that at the same moment Scott was equally confused, he was in agony, 'could she feel it to?' he thought to himself, why was he feeling this way?

"Thanks" Scott said as he took the glass of orange juice and took a sip.

"Your welcome" Martha replied still trying to avoid eye contact with him. At that same moment Beth came through the door.

"I won't be a minute, I just forgot my keys" Beth said grabbing her keys from the counter and headed back out the door but before she got to far she turned around "ah, Scott do you think you could help me move some boxes into the car?"

"Yeah shore" Scott replied finishing the last mouthful of his drink.

"Ok there sitting next to my car, I just need some help putting them into the boot" Beth told him as they walked out the door.

Martha gave a sigh of relief, 'thankyou Beth' she mumbled to herself. She had to figure out why she was feeling so weird around Scott and him being there was only going to make the whole situation even worse.

"Hey, Mac" Tash greeted her.

"Oh, hi. I didn't expect to see you here" Martha said sounding slightly surprised to see her best friend Tash standing at the counter.

"What can't I come and visit my best friend at work?" Tash questioned playfully.

"Of cause you can, but your supposed to be at school missy" Martha said with a concerned look on her face.

"You're starting to sound like Irean" Tash said rolling her eyes "anyway all the teachers are on strike so we all got to come home".

"Yay, now you can spent the day with me" Martha exclaimed sounding excited.

"Well most of it anyway, I told Robbie I'd come and help him finish repainting our room after I came and said hi to you"

"Well I get of at twelve so do you want to go to the dinner for lunch".

"Yeah that sounds great, I'll meet you there" Tash answered "I'd better go"

"Ok I'll see you later then"

"Bye" Tash said as she headed for the door.
