"LUCAS! LUCAS! Wait up," Matilda called out.
Matilda walked quickly across the park until she reached her boyfriend. "Hey," Lucas said, giving Matilda a kiss on the cheek. "What's up?" he asked.
Matilda felt like she was going to burst. She'd seen something earlier that day that she had tried to keep to herself, but she couldn't any longer. So she had decided to tell Lucas.
"I saw something today that I don't think I should have seen," Matilda said. "What are you talking about?" Lucas asked her.
"Well, I was down at the beach just before Lunch, and I saw Jack and Martha down there. They didn't see me though," Matilda started. Lucas looked at her curiously. "Anyways, at first it looked as if they were just talking. But then Jack was holding her hand and they looked pretty friendly if you know what I mean," she continued.
"Are you saying that something is going on between them again?" Lucas asked, shocked. Matilda nodded. "Well it looked that way to me," she replied.
"Now that you mention it, Jack did seem pretty happy earlier today," Lucas exclaimed.
"But as far as I know, Martha is still with Corey. We would have heard if they broke up," Matilda told him.
"You don't think Martha and Jack are seeing each other behind Corey's back, do you?" Lucas asked. Matilda shrugged. "I guess it's a possibility," she said.
Lucas nodded. "Well I think we should just keep this to ourselves. Don't tell anybody," he told her.
"Good idea!" Matilda agreed. "You know, I really do hope Martha and Jack are back together. They made a good couple," Matilda then said.
"Me too! Come on, let's go to the diner and get some dessert," Lucas suggested, taking Matilda's hand and walking off.
Corey stepped out from behind a tree and watched as Matilda and Lucas walked off. He had accidentally heard the conversation between the two teenagers. He didn't know what to think. Could it be true? He thought. Is Martha cheating on me?
It was 8:00 pm and Jack made his way up the steps to the apartment that Martha shared with Alf. When he got to the door he looked around, making sure that no-one had seen him, and knocked on the door. Martha answered the door almost immediately, and smiled when she saw that it was Jack.
"Hey," she said, stepping aside and letting him in. Jack closed the door behind him and quickly pulled Martha into his arms.
Martha looked up into his face, and wrapped her arms around his neck. She pressed her lips to his for a deep lingering kiss. When she was breathless she pulled away.
"You know we shouldn't be doing this, don't you? We should be waiting until you've broken up with Corey," Jack said, walking towards the couch and sitting down.
Martha sighed and sat down next to him. "Yeah, I know. But you gotta admit that the sneaking around is kinda fun," she laughed.
Jack smiled at her. "I guess it is," he said.
Martha sat up a bit and moved herself until she was sitting on Jack's lap. "Kind of a turn-on too, don't you think?" she said cheekily.
Jack laughed. "If you say so," he said.
Martha started playing with the buttons on his shirt, and then slowly started unbuttoning them. Jack just sat back and watched her do it; while twirling a lock of her hair around one of his fingers.
Martha popped open the last button and pushed his shirt open, then ran her hands down his chest. Jack reached a hand out and softly touched her cheek. He then pulled her face closer towards his for a kiss that sent tingles down his spine.
Martha pulled away from the kiss; she smiled and raised her arms above her head. No words needed to be said; Jack knew what to do. He slowly lifted her shirt up and pulled it off, dropping it onto the floor.
Her lips went straight back to his, and she sighed when she felt Jack tracing tiny circles on her back.
Jack then stood up quickly. He wrapped Martha's legs around his waist and slowly carried her off into the direction of her room; their lips not once leaving each other.
Corey crept quietly but quickly up the stairs. He'd hidden in the shadows and had watched as Jack entered Martha's apartment. He'd been watching the place for about 2 hours now and Jack still had not left. Sounds as if Matilda and Lucas were right, Corey thought. Martha's seeing Jack behind my back.
Corey reached into his pocket and pulled out the key that he had secretly gotten cut. He quietly unlocked the door and walked in; not making a sound. The room was pitch black dark and he could barely see in front of him. He tip-toed towards the hall and started walking towards the bedroom door that he was pretty sure belonged to Martha.
I bet the little tart is in there with him right now, Corey thought to himself.
Just as he reached the door he heard the noise that confirmed his suspicions. He could hear Martha laughing, but it was what he heard next that made him see red. He heard her moan, and she was moaning Jack's name.
Corey quietly turned and walked back out to the lounge room, and out the door; closing and locking it quietly behind him.
That little bitch, Corey thought. If Martha MacKenzie thinks she can make a fool out of me, she can think again. She's gonna pay. She and her precious lover boy aren't going to know what hit them.
