Crazy trouble with love part 6

Maria and Martin

Series: Martin Mystery

xxxxxxxxxxxx

-Torrington Academy-

"I'm telling you Di, the aliens from Planet X is the best reference for science class." Martin said while holding a book in his hands. "I mean it has conspiracy and mystery."

"And I keep saying the day the plot behind a stupid movie is taken seriously is the day I become like you."

Martin sighed. "Then I'll have to wait to give you that gold nameplate then."

That was they heard a commotion in the cafeteria. They looked at each other before hurrying towards it where there was a crowd gathered around something.

"What's going on?" Diana asked a student near the end of the crowd.

"Oh this new chick is doing some arm wrestling with some noob, and she's getting the best of him!"

"New chick?" Both said confused.

"Yea, and she kind of looks like your bro."

"Me?" Martin blinked before they tried getting through the crowd to see for themselves.

In the center of the crowd we find a girl with spiky blond hair, with a similar attire to Martin but with a skirt and black stockings, a C cup chest and medium sized ass, going toe to toe with a very muscular teenager.

"Yawn, can you put any effort into it pal? I'm getting tired over here." she smirked while her hand wasn't moving on the table.

"Ugh!" He grunted while using all his power in his arm. 'Why is she this resistant?!'

She smirked before adding more strength and slammed the hand onto the table, which caused the teen to go crashing onto the ground. She chuckled while the crowd cheered and clapped.

"Woah." Martin muttered while feeling like he walked into a mirror. "Look at the fan."

"It's not a fan Martin."

"A guy can dream Di." he replied. "Besides, she looks exactly like me, you know, if I was a chick that is."

"Except you might be flat." Diana muttered as the girl started making a fist of victory in the air.

"Oh yeah! That was awesome!" she turned to the crowd. "So, anyone else up for a round?"

"I shall!"

"No me!"

"I said it first!"

The girl chuckled before seeing Martin and jumped a little. 'Woah, ok now I know I have a fan.'

Diana got an idea and 'accidentally' bumped Martin forward making him stumble out from the crowd.

"We have a challenger, hear it for the fan!" She called out with a smirk as the crowd cheered wildly.

"Um wait I'm no-"

"Relax, it's just for fun." she cut him off before sitting down. "Just give it your best shot."

He saw her extending her arm and groaned. "Alright, but I'll have you know I'm a very strong guy."

"Put that where your mouth is tough guy."

He huffed and sat down before grabbing her hand and inwardly smirked. 'She might have beaten the other one, but with my skills and training with the supernatural, it's built up my muscle mass tenfold.'

"Ready, GO!" called the girl before feeling Martin start pushing against her hand which stayed in place. "I said you could go."

'What the? It's like trying to bend steel!' He thought while trying harder and felt his muscles straining.

"Uh Martin? You do know you're meant to move your arm, right?" Diana called with a chuckle.

"I am Di!"

"You know, you can just give up." The girl smirked. "I won't hold it against you if you're a little under the weather."

He growled and started straining harder against the hand which started to slowly get pushed before she quickly held the two in place with a groan.

"Woah! You almost got me there, but I'm not gonna go down that easy."

"Same here miss blowhard!"

"It's Maria, and name calling won't save you this day porcupine." she threw back making the crowd go 'ooooh' before she put more strength and slammed his hand down on the table. "I win."

He went wide eyed before frowning. "Best two out of three!"

"You sure? You seem worked up." she chuckled. "It's just a game dude."

"Oh yeah?" He said before getting an idea. "I see, you're scared that I might win, well in that case I'll just call you a scary cat."

"...that was bad."

"Not as bad as your do."

"Wow, Martin needs to chill out." muttered Jenni with Diana sweat dropping.

"Me? Have you seen yours? You could hang a sign on that." she threw back with a smirk.

"Hey! At least I'm not a hedgehog." He frowned as both started to emanate sparks from their eyes.

"Hey!" 'Ok what's with this guy? I'm the one being nice and he's being a jerk for no reason and over one loss.'

'Hopefully I get her mad enough to make a mistake.' He thought before noticing that everyone was getting annoyed at him. 'Oh shit I'm getting the wrong message across!'

"Alright, you wanna go again? That's fine, but this time, I'm not holding a thing back."

"Same here." Martin smirked before grabbing her hand. "To the best arm wrestler."

"Ready, go!" called Jenni before instantly Martin's hand went down in a second.

"Um, best four out of five?"

"Maybe, but let's make things interesting." Maria smirked. "I win and you have to stop acting like an ass."

"And if I win then you have to tell them the truth about you being some fan of mine."

"What? I'm not a fan of you pal, this is my natural look." She frowned.

"Wait, what?" he replied before she brought his hand back down again. "Hey wait! I wasn't ready that time."

"Oh? Didn't realize pal." She smirked.

'Alright, she's asking for it!'

(Ten rounds later)

Martin groaned while feeling his arm going numb. 'Ten times...WHY?!'

"Looks like I win again pal." Maria smirked while looking very proud of herself.

"How are you this good?!"

"I'm a black belt in karate and a boxer."

He sighed while the crowd had gotten bigger, and had seen every loss of Martin's. 'Just perfect.'

"Care to try again?" She asked.

"No." he stood up and moved over to another table and sat down with a huff before Diana walked over with a smile.

"Wow Martin, that was impressive. I thought you would have given up halfway there."

"Di, I'm not that kind of person." He said while looking very annoyed. "Besides, how was I supposed to know she was a boxer and knew martial arts?"

"Actually that's not all she can do. Jenni told me a lot of stuff she's done and it's quite the list of accomplishments."

"Like what? Climbing Mount Everest?"

"Well yeah actually she did that twice as a kid."

He slammed his head on the table. "You've gotta be kidding me."

"And her dad's a pilot, so she's actually been around the world to all sorts of places."

"Well that's not that great, we do that all the time on missions." he pointed out.

"Well, her mom's a writer and she's been a piano player since the age of two."

"What hasn't she done?!" He growled in annoyance.

"Well she didn't really take boxing to be a real pro at it, mostly just for muscle strength. Other than that she's not huge on sports like soccer, baseball, basketball, you get the idea."

Martin groaned while crying anime tears. "Oh god, why me?!"

"Well you did act like a jerk."

"I was trying to make her mad so she'd lose focus." He frowned. "It's basic logic Di."

"Well apparently she didn't get the memo."

He groaned while not noticing that Maria was hearing what he was saying. "Ugh, now she's thinking I'm a jerk! Di, I really screwed up big time."

"Well maybe you should just be the bigger man and explain it to her then."

He blinked. "Is it really that simple?"

"Of course, if it wasn't then we wouldn't be talking after some of our disagreements." Diana said sagely. "And it's basic courtesy, so go do it!"

He got up and sighed. "Fine."

Maria raised an eyebrow. 'What an odd guy.' She then saw Martin walking towards her.

"Uh, Maria was it?"

"Yes, what is it?" She asked while blinking slightly.

He sighed. "Look, I'm...sorry for calling you a porcupine."

"Go on."

"And I'm sorry for getting you mad, it was stupid and uncalled for."

"And?"

"You're better than me at everything." He grumbled.

"Uh huh." 'That must really hurt trying to say that.'

"So can we forgive and forget?"

Maria blinked before looking like she was contemplating it. "I don't know, you did act like a jerk." She then smirked. "How about you hang out with me for a month, that way I'll know if you're really deserving of forgiveness."

"Oh, really? That's all?"

"Unless you're just saying all that to get me on my good side that is, which in that case I'll just put you in a stretcher." She said with a frown.

Martin slightly gulped. "I'm not trying to get on your good side."

She placed a hand on his shoulder. "Then meet me later after classes."

"Sure, see you there."

She nodded before walking away. 'I might enjoy having a friend.'

(Later)

Knock knock.

"Coming." Maria called out from her dorm room. She opened it and saw Martin standing there. "Glad you could make it, come on in."

"Well, same here." he said while rubbing his leg against his other leg.

"Just mind the mess." She said while turning to her room, which was kind of messy with clothes on the ground and her bed sheets all over the place. "I kind of forgot to clean up yesterday."

'Woah, it's like looking in a mirror of my room.' Martin thought before sitting in a chair.

Maria sat on her bed while cracking her neck. "So what do you want to do first?"

"Well….what do you usually do?"

"Oh, I either do snowboarding, fencing, bear wrestling, and maybe play some alien based video games." She said. "Especially where the aliens are attacking killer cows from Uranus."

Martin was irked by the other stuff, but the last one caught his attention. "You like aliens?"

"Yep, and anything supernatural." She grinned. "Especially when I get lots of magazines talking about Sasquatch."

"No way, me too! I'm hooked on comics, movies, games, anything that involves some mysterious creature undiscovered."

"Wow." She said with wide eyes. "Even the lochness monster?"

"Big time!"

"Chupacabra?"

"Yep."

"Gremlins and elves?"

"Oh yeah big time."

Maria blinked. "How about….orcs?"

"I'm ok with them, but I'll never understand the whole male over female gender ratios."

"Me too!" she spoke. "I mean, it's like they were made up primarily to mirror how man is viewed mostly on lust and their large appetites. If I was born around the time legends started for them I'd make it a bit equal, cause hearing all the stuff on just guy orcs tends to get boring, same with succubi. I mean yeah, we know they're all women, but incubi are just as dangerous, if not more."

Martin nodded. "And what about dragons, it's either fire or squashing people. Really I'm getting excited that people are making them more complex and relatable in media nowadays."

"And they're giving some of the lesser mythological creatures more notices. Like mimics, and selkies."

"Selkies, I really think they're kind of cute." He chuckled. "Especially when they can turn into seals, but still losing the skin makes them stuck on land. It just reminds me of how woman were before the suffrage movement."

"And they're based on my favorite animal." She said while pointing to a poster of a baby seal. "They're so cute that I'll be devastated if they go extinct."

'Huh, she doesn't seem so bad.' he thought before clearing his throat. "Changing the subject, but if you're good at video games like me, then let's see who's the best."

"Sure." She said while walking to her tv. "We can play Killer Sewer Monsters from the Center of the Black Hole."

"That's my favorite game."

"Same here." She smiled while setting the game into the console. "I even paid extra for DLC to where you can actually play as an alien cow hybrid."

"Wow!" He said before grabbing a controller. "You're the coolest girl ever!"

"Oh thanks." She chuckled with a sweatdrop. She grabbed her own as the title screen popped up. "Just don't get upset when I beat you at this too."

"Ha, like I could." He laughed with confidence. "Just don't cry once I kick your butt."

She smiled before the game began.

(One game later)

"Yes! I win again!" Maria smirked. "Take that dude!"

"But how?! I thought I had you with that black hole gun!"

"That's a secret." She winked.

'She must be using cheating!' he thought with a frown. "Two out of three."

"You're on." She smirked.

"And no cheating." Martin frowned.

She stiffened before taking a look at the screen. "Like I would." 'Crap, he's on to my master cheat code hack!'

'Something tells me I hit the nail on the head.' He thought while they did another game.

(One game later)

"Yes!" Martin yelled out in joy. "I won!"

'Fuck, I knew I should've tried using the cheat this match!'

"So, where was your skill on that one?" he smirked.

"Um….let's play something else." She said while trying to change the subject. "Like Succubi Hunter 4? I heard you can use demonic pillow cannons in this game."

He raised an eyebrow hearing that. "Are you sure? I mean you look like you're losing your edge."

Maria eye twitched hearing that. "I'm fine, it's just warm in here, that's all."

"Alright." He said as they started to get ready with the game, only to see a piece of paper under the console labeled Cheats. 'Knew it!'

(Later)

Maria grumbled while Martin cheered for his now renewed winning streak. 'I'm not gonna hear the end of this.'

"Oh yes! Who's the master, who's the master?" He yelled with joy.

"You can stop now, it's getting old after fifty times."

"Oh? Someone jealous?"

"Me, jealous? Ha! Like hell I am."

"Oh yeah? Then maybe you'd prefer a more 'easier' game." he taunted.

"Oh? You want easier?" she smirked with a glint. "I've got just the one in mind."

Martin blinked as Maria took out a game from her collection.

"Then try this on for size!" she held out a game with a dark robot on the cover with people running away in fear.

"Oh...oh god! I-Is that!"

"Yep, Killer Robots from Dimension X, the 'easiest' game on earth."

"B-But that's impossible to finish without losing on the first level!"

"Really? I didn't know since I BEAT the game three times." she smirked while putting it in the console. "And that was without these so called 'cheat's you keep mentioning."

Martin gulped while trying to act tough. "W-Well, I'll still beat you!"

"Bring it on then, I'll even let you use any cheats you got as a handicap."

"You're on!"

(Ten hours of gameplay later)

Both were neck and neck as they were on the final level, King of Robot's arena, fighting the final boss.

"You gonna need a break? You look like you could use it." spoke Maria mashing buttons fast and precise.

"I'm not tired." He said while also mashing buttons as well. "I'm almost ready to kick King Robox's ass!"

"The fact you haven't gotten sleepy yet is surprising, but it won't last long."

"That's because I've been staying up late more often than you." He smirked while trying to dodge the massive robot lasers from the boss's eyes. "Just try to keep up."

"You too." She smirked while narrowly avoiding a missile.

Both kept it up while putting everything they had into getting through. Especially when they got to the final part which required them to avoid waves and waves of robots to get to the core of the boss. But after a while, they got to the core however the last attack left them with one health point.

'I need to get through this!'

'I can't lose to him!'

PING!

However the core sent a beam of lightning at them which caused them to be vaporized.

Game over muhahahaha!

"WHAT?! Oh come on!"

"That sneaky son of a bitch!"

Both yelled in frustration while throwing their controllers at the walls.

"Damn it all!"

"Screw this game!"

"Hey! Quiet in there! Some of us are trying to sleep!" came the person from the next room over.

"Screw you pal!" Both yelled at the same time.

(After calming down)

Maria sighed while taking out some soda and gave it to Martin. "Still can't believe that happened."

"That was the most intense game I've ever played."

"I know, and that was on easy mode too." She sighed as Martin went eyed. "Oh well, it was still fun. I really never had people play games with me."

"Wait, how the hell did you beat it three times then?!"

"I played it for a month non stop." She said looking away. "It wasn't the best idea in my entire life."

'A month? That's insane!' He thought before seeing the time. 'What?! It's five in the morning!'

"Man, I didn't plan on going all night, now I'm probably gonna be too wiped to go to class or I'll look like a zombie."

"Agreed." Martin yawned. "I'll just see myself out, thanks for the video games."

"Wait? You're not going to stay for the day?"

"Well we've been at this for hours, and I gotta crash for a few hours or I'm not gonna make it through the day. Or maybe I'll just call in sick and skip the classes."

Maria blinked before covering him with a blanket. "Then why not rest here? My beds comfortable and you look like you could use it more."

"Wait, hold the phone. You want me to sleep here, in your room?"

"Well yeah." She said while getting comfortable. "Got a problem with that?"

"Um….you DO know what the rule is for a boy and girl together in one room is, right?"

She rolled her eyes. "Look, this is a one time only thing so are you going to take it or not?"

He opened his mouth before closing it and shook his head. "Fine, I'm too tired to get all the way back to my room anyway."

She slowly closed her eyes while her hand touched Martin's arm. "Have a good sleep Martin."

"Night Maria." He said while closing his eyes.

(Some time later)

Martin was snoring while Maria was on her side and drooling on her pillow.

She twitched her leg while moving her body onto Martin's and nuzzled him. "Zzzz….marshmallow...pizza...zzz."

Martin snored while grabbing a 'goo monster'. "I won't...let you get...zzzz."

Squeeze.

Maria jumped and started to slowly wake up from her dream. Only to see where she was, on Matrin and with his hands on her butt. 'What...the….FUCK?!'

"Goo monster...you won't...get away...zzz." he grumbled while giving her butt a squeeze.

She blushed while too tired to move, but that didn't mean that she couldn't move her foot over his junk.

Gonk!

"OW!" He cried out with wide eyes. "Goo monster!"

SQUEEZE!

PUNCH!

"Ow!"

(One screaming session later)

"Ok, so I admit, this wouldn't happen if I didn't offer it."

"Well it was my fault for mistaking you as a goo monster." Martin admitted.

"Do I look like I'm made of goo?" She frowned.

"No." He blushed.

"Then why squeeze my butt and call it a goo monster?"

"I was dreaming! And why were you on top of me anyway?"

"Um….I thought I was on a marshmallow pizza." She blushed. "It's my favorite food when I'm sad."

'That sounds gross.'

"Look, let's just forget about this little mishap." she spoke looking away. "You better head to your room before someone sees or they'll start spreading all kinds of rumors."

Martin nodded before seeing the time. "Wait? It's only four in the afternoon, classes are still going on."

"Yes but you still have to go."

"Ok." He said with a little uncertainty as he got out of the bed. "I'll see you later then?"

"You know it."

He nodded. "And next time I'll bring my comic collection." He then got out of the room while Maria felt a little happy at having a friend.

'Well that was huge, but not as bad as I thought it was gonna turn out.' She thought with a smile.

(Sometime later)

"And that's why we need to take scifi comic physics more serious in real life if we're gonna get even farther."

"I agree. Especially with the concepts of atoms and time travel, really we have the technology but not the logic to back it up."

"Di really needs to keep an open mind. I mean how else can you explain this stuff unless there's a chance it could be real?"

Maria nodded. "Your sister seems to be more of the crazy science of your family, which is a good thing sometimes."

"She's always like that, even on missions." he idly remarked before going wide eyed and looked away. 'Shit!'

"Missions? You mean like Center stuff?" She asked before covering her mouth. 'Oh fuck nuggets!'

Both blinked before the gears in their minds clicked and they pointed at each other. "You're an agent!?"

"How?!"

"I should be asking you!"

Martin gulped before sighing. "I've been an agent for a long while."

"Same, but I've been a low ranked agent for a month now." She chuckled nervously. "Like since Halloween where my mom got turned into a werewolf and started mooning the neighborhood."

Martin blinked before bursting out into laughter with Maria blushing.

"It's not funny! It took all night to find her and give her a silver spoon to the butt!" She blushed.

"Oh god that's so rich hahaha!"

She huffed before pulling his hair.

"Ow! Hey I'm just telling it like it is!"

"You think I liked it? It was extra hard bringing her back inside when she changed back or everyone would have seen her naked body. You wanna try and deal with something like that?"

He frowned. "Alright alright, I get it! Just stop pulling my hair!"

She let go and huffed. "Next time, don't laugh at serious things. It's not like I'll laugh at anything Mom gave you."

'Can't believe she's been an agent and I never knew. Then again with her track record I'm surprised she didn't just promote her already.'

Maria sighed. "Look, I'm an agent of low caliber because...I kind of acted stupid and stole magical objects without knowing their curses." She looked at the ground. "Especially the last one."

"What last one?"

"I kind of released a robotic god from a locked box and almost ended the world. I thought it was a normal music box."

"Uh, why would you need to steal in the first place? I mean, you sound rich if you can do all that stuff all over the world."

She sighed. "My parents don't visit me or pay attention to me often, so I kind of developed a sense of mischief to get some attention." She played with her hair. "So it's kind of second nature to me."

"For real?"

She nodded. "Kind of weird now that you know the real me, I mean I look like a popular girl but I'm just a kleptomaniac."

"Huh?"

"I steal without reason."

"Oh!" He said while putting a hand on her shoulder. "Well it really didn't change anything, I mean you are still a cool person to hang around."

She blinked. "You mean it?"

He nodded. "Honestly finding someone like me in a lot of ways isn't that easy around here."

"Well, maybe for me." She smirked. "I mean there are tons of other guys with your tastes."

"And do they all literally look like you?"

"No, but they do look good." She smirked with a wink. "But you're a good second."

Martin frowned before getting an idea. "Well, I still know that Jenni is more popular than you."

"What?!"

"I mean she's nice and stuff."

"But does she have a love of succubi maids? No fucking way!" she snapped. 'Wait, why did I bring that up?!'

'Succubi maids, that's new.' "Really, then try doing one thing that Jenni can't and I'll believe you."

She frowned before giving Martin a hug. "Did she ever do this?"

"Um….no."

"Then I win." She said before realizing what she was doing and blushed. 'Oh crap.'

'Wait, is she...jealous?' thought Martin while going wide eyed. 'Holy shit! I actually have a girl getting jealous over me!'

She let go while rubbing her arm. "Look I...um well I showed you I'm popular."

"Hey Maria, are you interested in me like 'that'?" he asked getting straight to the point.

She blushed red. "I um...what?! Why did you ask me such a thing?!"

"Well I thought you were jealous."

She frowned. "T-That's not it at all!"

"Then why are you redder then a devil's butt?"

"I-It's because I caught the flu!" she lied while ushering him out of the room.

"Hey wait a minute!" He frowned before moving out of the way. "You are jealous! Admit it!"

She blushed. "I-I'm not jealous of that bitch!"

"Oh? Then why did you call her a bitch?"

She gulped while farting her eyes around the room. "Um…."

"Just admit it Maria. You're jealous of her."

"Ugh! Fine I'm jealous of her!" She huffed. "Not my fault she has a bigger chest than me."

He blinked. "Wait...you're jealous...because she's a bit...bigger?"

She nodded. "Those things are unnatural! They have to be transplants!"

Martin snickered a little bit.

"It's a serious matter!" She huffed. "A girl can't have breasts that huge! She must have used a potion to make them big."

'They're not that big.' he sweatdropped. "Might wanna consider investing in implants if you're that bothered by it."

"Hell no! I'm a believer that my body is sacred." She frowned. "But...I might take a potion for that later in life." 'Or if I'm desperate.'

Martin sweatdropped hearing that. "Well, as Di would say, you're perfect the way you are."

'Apparently she's never felt self conscious of her body before.' She thought before hearing the bell ringing. "Um, thanks for that but I have to get ready for my next class."

"Just remember, stay positive." he said before the door closed in his face. 'If Diana ever starts talking like that I'm leaving.'

(Much later)

Martin was busy looking at a comic in his room as he heard some knocking outside.

"Hey Martin, are you in there? I brought Wendy's." Maria called out.

"Hang on, I'm coming." He called out before opening the door and saw Maria holding some Wendy's bags.

"I hope you like the baconator." She smiled happily. "I was coming back after a jog and figured some fast food wouldn't hurt."

"Oh that's great." He said while letting her in. "That was thoughtful of you."

"Well, you are my best friend Martin." She said while putting the bags on the table. "It's the least I can do."

He smiled at that. He and her sat down and grabbed the food out before chowing down.

After a while they started to relax while sharing some fries. To anyone that was being a sneak at the moment, it was adorable and cute.

"So I was thinking, maybe when you're not on a mission, you could join me and my dad on our next trip. I'd love to show you some great hotels we stay at and introduce you to some great places to hang out."

"Oh really? I don't want to be a bother." Martin chuckled.

"You won't be, plus my dad would love to meet you."

'Wow, that makes it sound like I should dress up and not mess up for some reason.' He thought as he took a fry and touched Maria's fingers.

She noticed and moved her hand back. "Sorry."

"No no it's cool, you can have it."

"No I insist, you can have it." She insisted.

"Alright." He shrugged before eating it.

Maria continued to eat the fries before noticing that there was one long fry left.

Martin blinked while feeling like he was in a disney film. He glanced at her with her doing the same and briefly pondered on making an excuse to go to the bathroom.

"Um, you can have it." She said awkwardly. "I'm not that hungry anyway."

"No you have it, I'm full anyway."

"I insist."

"I double insist."

Both tried to make excuses while not knowing their faces were getting closer to each other.

"Really, my stomach is filled to the top."

"Just eat the fry Martin!"

"You first Maria."

"I said you first."

"I insist, you can have the fry!"

That was when they realized that they were looking each other right in the eyes with their noses touching. Their faces turned red making them drop the fry and scoot away with wide eyes.

'Oh god…' Maria thought in embarrassment. 'How didn't I see that?!'

'How come it couldn't happen like in the movies at a fancy restaurant? I could have gotten a chance to at least dress up!' Martin thought before looking at Maria and saw she was playing with her hair. "Um, my bad?"

"It's not your fault, I wasn't looking carefully." She said with a light blush. 'We literally almost came close to kissing.'

Martin nodded while feeling like he should finish what he started. 'But would she get mad?'

"Martin, let's just finish the meal." She said while also feeling a little in the mood.

"You read my mind." He said before taking the fry and broke it in half. "Here, for you."

She took it and slowly ate it. "Thanks."

"Anytime." He said with a smile. "But I have a question, have you ever...kissed someone before?"

She blushed. "Uh...well a couple guys, one in middle school and a few others I met over in Thailand, but that's about it."

"Well I got kissed by my vampire ancestors lover." He said awkwardly. "It was odd to say the least."

She jaw dropped hearing that.

"Hey I warned you! And how do you think I felt? Like I was cheating with my old great great great...you know what I mean, with his girlfriend or something."

"Well, at least you didn't do something silly like get turned."

"..."

"You did. Didn't you?"

"Like I said, it was odd." He said with a sigh. "But besides that chick, I didn't get any such luck like you did."

"Well considering how often you hit on every girl here, that's really not a big surprise."

He huffed.

"But who knows, you might find the right girl one day." She reassured him.

"The day that happens is the day I see Java turn into a ladies man." he sighed dejectedly.

Maria patted his back while feeling bad for him. 'I wonder if I should give him some hope? It wouldn't hurt to be considerate.' "Say Martin, can you turn your head for a second?"

"Huh-"

Chu.

He blushed as Maria gave him a quick kiss on the lips.

"Figured that might help just a bit." She said with a blush.

"I...um...huh?!" He said in shock.

'I think I accidentally broke him.' She sweatdropped. "I was just trying to help you perk up."

He blushed before instinctively kissing her back.

She blushed red in response when he pulled back. "W-Why'd you do that for? I'm already feeling fine."

"I thought it would be fair giving you a kiss." He blushed. "So...tada?"

She blinked before snickering and then started chuckling.

"What's so funny?" He asked with a confused look.

"You're just too much Martin." she smiled. "You're a goof, but in a good way."

"Oh." He chuckled. "Thanks, even if you can be a goof on occasion too."

"Hey it was one time." She huffed cutely.

"Which still makes my day even now." He chuckled.

"Wow Martin, who knew you could actually flirt?" she teased.

He blushed. "Like you could do better."

She smirked before saying. "Well, if I was jelly then you would be my peanut butter."

"...that was cheesy." he deadpanned.

"Ok ok, it's true, but I'm serious, I did that to see if it would lift your spirits."

Martin shook his head. "Well thanks Maria, it was kind of worth it seeing your cute face light up like a christmas tree."

'Oh yeah? Guess I'll have to up things a bit.' she stood up and stretched with a yawn. "Well I better get back to my room, I've gotta get the essay for tomorrow finished up."

"Well good luck with that." He said while giving her a thumbs up. When she left he felt like he won this round, but then started to feel his phone vibrate. He opened it up and noticed a black color with roses on it as a text read: Guess what this is, hint, I'm wearing it.

"Wearing it? I didn't see any roses on her, and I've seen one on her skirt before." He muttered before getting another picture of the color, but with some white and a frilly thing in the middle of it.

The text said as followed: Here's some more of my color.

'I didn't see any of this on her. What's she getting a-HOLY SHIT!' He thought with wide eyes. 'IT'S HER UNDERWEAR!'

'I'm gonna count this as a win for me.' Maria thought while taking another picture of her underwear. 'Hope he likes roses ha ha ha.'
