Martha sat at the diner with Alf while he ate his lunch. "That flaming hospital food is nothing compared to this," Alf said, tucking into a plate of food.

"What would we do without Leah," Martha laughed.

Alf chuckled. "We'd probably starve to death," he said.

"Oh, I thought you'd like to know that I spoke to Jack," Martha told him.

Alf looked up at her. "About your feelings?" he questioned. "Yeah," Martha nodded.

"Well, how did it go?" he asked curiously. She smiled at her grandad. "Really good. I just wish I had of done it earlier," she replied.

"Does this mean that Summer Bay has a new couple?" Alf smiled at her.

"I guess it does," Martha grinned. "Well, I'm happy for you. You deserve to be happy," Alf told his granddaughter. "Thanks grandad," she told him.

"Will you be okay here by yourself? I promised Tash that I would go and have lunch with her at her place?" Martha asked Alf.

"Yeah, sure love. Go enjoy your self," he replied. "Oh, and ask Jack to come around for dinner tonight," Alf continued.

Martha stood up and gave Alf a kiss on the cheek. "Okay. I'll see you later," she told him.

"Bye love," Alf said as Martha walked out.

After lunch Martha and Tasha went and sat down at the wharf.

"I'm sick of waiting," Tasha suddenly said.

Martha looked towards her friend, she was confused. "Waiting for what?" she asked.

Tasha laughed. "I'm sick of waiting for you to tell me the details about you and Jack," she pouted.

"You didn't ask," Martha stated. "I am now. So spill," Tasha replied.

"What do you want to know?" Martha asked. Tasha giggled. "Is he a good kisser? Are you happy? How do you feel? Things like that," she said.

Martha gave a happy sigh. "I've never felt like this before Tash. When I'm not around him, I wish that I was," she began. "Whenever he touches me, or even looks at me, I feel weak in the knees. He just makes me feel so good. Oh, and yes, he is a very good kisser," she continued.

Tasha smiled at her best friend. "I'm really happy for you Mac. The two of you are so good together," she said.

"So, how was it?" Tasha asked, wiggling her eyebrows.

"Excuse me," Martha laughed.

"Don't act all innocent. I know the two of you spent the night together last night, so don't deny it," Tasha said.

"Fine. He stayed over last night," Martha told her. "Yeah, so how was it?" Tasha urged.

"Which time?" Martha exclaimed innocently.

"Martha! More than once! How many times where there?" Tasha gasped.

Martha laughed at Tasha's reaction. "Let's just say it was more than a few times," she said truthfully. Tasha looked at Martha in shock.

"What? You wanted to know," Martha laughed.

"Yeah. It's just, I didn't realise you had so much stamina," Tasha teased.

"Neither did I. Every time he touched me, it was like something inside me was unleashed, and I just couldn't help my self," Martha explained. "And the more that he gave, the more that I wanted. I've never felt anything so intense in my life," she continued.

"So it was good then?" Tasha asked smiling.

Martha sighed. "It was more than good. It was incredible. Although, mind-blowing would also be another way to put it," Martha answered.

"Well, like I said before, I'm very happy for you," Tasha said. Martha nodded her thanks.

The two girls spent the next hour swimming and laying in the sun. Martha thought about Jack nearly the whole time. She couldn't wait to see him.

It wasn't too long though before she received a text message from him. He wanted to meet up with her.

"Jack wants to meet up with me," she told Tasha.

"Well don't let me keep you. I wouldn't want you to explode because he hasn't touched you in a couple hours," Tasha teased her.

Martha gave her a playful slap on the arm. "Shut up," she laughed. Martha stood up and put her shorts and singlet over the top of her bikini.

"Actually, there is something else I've been wanting to ask you," Tasha called out as Martha started to walk away.

Martha spun around. "What is it?" she called back.

"Is Martha MacKenzie in love?" Tasha yelled out.

Martha smiled. Am I in love with Jack? Martha thought to herself. I guess I am.

"It's a possibility," she called back to Tasha. She turned again, and started walking off down the beach.

"I'll take that as a yes," Tasha yelled from behind her.

Yes, I'm in love with Jack Holden, she said to herself.

Martha saw Jack sitting down in the sand, looking out over the ocean. She slowly crept up behind him and placed her hands over his eyes. "Guess who?" she whispered in his ear.

"Um, Colleen," Jack answered. "Very funny," Martha laughed, while removing her hands from his eyes.

"Now, if I were Colleen, would I be doing this?" Martha asked. She started placing soft kisses on his neck, working her way up until her lips were touching his.

Jack pulled away quickly. "I think Colleen has the hots for me, so she probably would do that," he joked.

Martha laughed. "Well, it looks like you have a big decision to make. It's Colleen or me," she teased.

"Wow, that is a hard one. But I think I'm gonna have to choose you," Jack said.

Martha smiled. "Good answer," she told him, wrapping her arms around his neck and pulling him in close to her; kissing him passionately.

After a few minutes of kissing, Jack pulled away and jumped up. "Now that's enough of the kissy kissy's. Let's go," he said and pulled Martha up.

"Go where?" she questioned, as he dragged her along the beach.

"Up to the cliffs. I went up there the other day and it's really nice," he said.

Martha let go of Jack's hand and stopped in her tracks. "Jack, I can't go up there. I'm scared of heights," she told him.

Jack put a hand up to her cheek and stroked it. "Don't worry. I won't let you fall," he promised and gave her a quick kiss on the lips.

"Oh, my hero," Martha mocked.

Jack laughed. "Come on. Let's go," he said. Taking her hand, they walked off towards the cliffs.

About 15 minutes later they arrived at their destination. "See, I told you it was nice here," Jack said, taking Martha's hand and helping her climb down from a rock onto the flatter surface.

"It is beautiful. I can't believe I've never been up here before," she told him, while looking out over the sparkling blue/green sea.

"Let's go closer to the edge," Jack suggested, tugging gently on Martha's arm. Martha shook her head. "No, I'm staying right here, thank you very much," she told him, pulling away from his grasp.

"How about I pick you up and throw you over the edge," Jack joked. Martha glared at him. "You wouldn't dare," she exclaimed. "I would," he teased.

"Oh well. I guess that means that you want to spend the rest of your nights cold and lonely," Martha said.

"What does that mean?" Jack asked. Martha gave him an evil smile. "It means that all the fun we had last night, will never happen again. EVER," she threatened him while running a finger down his clothed chest.

Jack shivered. "Are you like the spawn of Satan or something?" he questioned her.

"Keep annoying me, and I will be," she replied.

Jack smiled sweetly at her. "Okay, we won't go closer to the edge. Let's just sit here," he said, sitting down and pulling Martha down into his lap.

Martha spun around so that they were face to face. She moved her legs, so that she was straddling him. Jack wrapped his arms around her waist, so that he could hold her closer.

"At least I know what to do the next time you piss me off. I'll just threaten to take away something you really love," Martha smiled at him.

"You really are evil, aren't you?" Jack asked with a smile on his face. Martha laughed. "Yep. But you love it!" she exclaimed.

Jack started running his hands up and down Martha's thighs, earning a happy sigh from her. Martha cupped Jack's face, and slowly moved her lips towards his; capturing them in a gentle kiss.

They kissed tenderly at first, but then with mounting passion. Martha rubbed her tongue seductively against Jack's, causing him to pull her into a tighter embrace.

He ran his hands over her back, stopping to play with the hem of her shirt. He gradually moved his hands under her top and started to lightly caress her soft skin.

Martha moaned with pleasure, but then gently pulled away from his mouth; breaking the kiss. Things were starting to get a little out of hand. "We can't do this here," she panted, still out of breath from the kiss. "Anybody could come along and see us," she continued.

"I know," Jack said, nodding his head in understanding.

"Actually, I want to tell you something," Martha said, still sitting in his lap. "What is it?" Jack asked, brushing a lock of hair behind her ear.

Martha sighed. "It's probably a bit early to be saying this, and if your like most guys, you're probably gonna freak out," she began. "But I want to be honest, I don't want to hide anything from you," she continued.

"Okay," Jack said, wondering what it was that she wanted to tell him. "Well, Tasha asked me earlier if I was in love with you," Martha told him.

Jack was surprised. "What did you tell her?" he asked curiously. "I said that there was a possibility," she answered truthfully.

"So what are you trying to say?" he questioned her with a smile on his face. "I'm saying that I love you," she replied shyly.

"You love me," Jack stated. "Yes," Martha said while jumping up from her spot in his lap. "I know we've only been together for like a day, but it just feels so right with you. You make me feel so good and you make me feel safe, it's just…," she blabbered on, but Jack interrupted her.

"I love you too!" he exclaimed. "What?" Martha asked, shocked.

Jack laughed. "I said that I love you too!" he told her again.

"Your not just saying it because I did, are you?" she asked.

Jack shook his head, "No way," he said. He walked over and stood in front of her. He caressed her cheek with his thumb. "You wanna know when I first realised that I was in love with you?" he asked.

"When?" Martha smiled at him.

"It was when you fell in the mud," he answered.

"The day my car got bogged? That was so embarrassing," Martha said.

Jack laughed. "I thought you looked sexy with dirt all over you," he teased.

Martha wrapped her arms around Jack's neck and pulled him into a hug. Jack buried his face in the curve of her neck and placed a few kisses there before speaking. "We should head home soon," he told her.

"Let's just sit here for a bit longer," Martha sighed.

Jack sat back down and pulled Martha down into his arms. "You're not ever going to be able to get rid of me. You know that right?" he said.

Martha laughed. "Don't worry, because I don't intend on letting you go. You're all mine," she told him.

"I love you," Jack whispered in her ear. "Ditto," she answered back.

And with that they lay in each others arms and waited for their first sunset together.
