A/N: Chapter 58!
I hope you all had a good holiday.
Here's a recap in case you forgot what happened:
Yusei and Akiza went to a swimming pool to help Akiza get use to walking again. While they were there, they both noticed how attractive the other was. They started kissing in the pool, until a worker for the pool suggested they, "get a room." When they came back, they told Martha that nothing happened. However, Martha figured out that they were turned on by the other, due to their swimsuits and wet skin, and started kissing. When Yusei and Akiza asked how she knew, she blew them off.
My poll is closed.
Including one from the reviews, out of 12 votes, 9 people thought I should continue the story.
I thank everyone for voting and I'm sorry to the other 3 votes. I thank you for voting though.
Akiza and Yusei watched as Martha headed for her room.
When she shut the door, Yusei approached it and knocked.
"Hey Martha," he said, "Is something the matter?"
There was a moment of silence.
"I'll tell you and the twins all about it tonight," she said.
"Okay," he replied.
He walked back to Akiza.
"I wonder why she's waiting until tonight," Akiza noted.
Yusei shrugged.
"I also wonder what she meant by, "all about it," he said.
Akiza and Yusei were confused.
The twins came in from their room.
"What's going on?" Leo asked.
"Martha has something to tell us after dinner," Yusei said.
"How was your rehab?" Luna asked.
"Oh, nothing really happened," Akiza said.
Leo and Luna looked at one another.
"Well, something happened," Leo said.
Leo and Luna giggled.
"Why do you say that?" Akiza asked.
"Because both of your faces are red," Luna said.
Yusei and Akiza looked at one another.
Both their faces were red.
"It must have been all the water and wet skin," Leo said.
Luna and him went back to their room laughing.
Akiza and Yusei looked back at one another and smiled.
At dinner, Leo couldn't stop bugging Martha about what she wanted to tell them.
"Can you tell me now?" he asked.
"No," she replied. "Wait until after dinner."
Leo grinned.
He quickly started eating all of his food.
"Leo," Luna said, "Stop eating so quick. You'll get the hiccups."
"Relax," he mumbled with food in his mouth.
"And don't talk with your mouth full," Akiza noted, "It's gross."
Leo grabbed his plate and put it in the sink.
"Okay! Dinner's over," he proclaimed.
"For you," Luna said, "Wait until we are done."
"Fine," he said.
He walked to the living room.
As the four of them ate, they suddenly heard a noise.
Leo walks in and he's hiccuping.
"I need peanut butter," he said as he grabs the peanut butter and goes to the living room.
He then sat down on the sofa and rolled his eyes.
He ran back to the kitchen.
"I forgot a spoon," he said.
Everyone giggled.
Yusei and Akiza did the dishes afterward, while Martha went into her room.
When the dishes were all in their proper place, Yusei, Akiza, and the twins surrounded Martha's door.
Yusei knocked.
"Okay," she called.
Yusei slowly opened the door.
Martha was at the end of her bed.
There was a large, brown case in the front of her bed.
"What's that?" Leo asked.
They went into her room.
Martha shut the case.
She slid it to the front of her bed and sat at the edge of her bed.
In her hands were three medium-sized, of what appeared to be, pieces of paper.
Leo and Luna sat on the edge next to her.
Yusei sat, next to Leo, at Martha's right and Akiza sat, next to Luna, on Martha's left.
"What are you holding?" Akiza asked.
"Pictures," Martha noted.
"Who's that in the first one?" Yusei asked.
There was a young girl in a black one piece swimsuit.
She had short black hair, tan skin, and looked in-shape.
"That's me," Martha said.
Everyone's eyes went big.
"That's you?" Akiza asked.
"You look so pretty," Luna noted.
"Yes. Probably tough to believe that little old me use to be young too."
She put the two other pictures, face down, in her lap.
She then gave the picture to Luna.
Everyone passed the picture around, until it was in Martha's hands again.
She then had a picture of a man in her second photo.
He had light brown hair, with light brown eyes, and no facial hair.
He looked strong and had abs sticking out of his stomach.
He had lean, long legs, and black swim trunks on.
"Now who's that?" Yusei asked.
"That's Michael."
"Who's Michael? You never told me about a, "Michael," Yusei said.
"I haven't told any orphans about him."
"Who was he?" Leo asked excitedly.
"Michael was a kind and gentle man. We had met on a bus ride to New Domino.
_Flashback_
It was a cold and blustery winter day.
A young Martha was wearing a black coat and jeans.
She gets on a bus and sits next to a man reading a newspaper.
He puts the newspaper down and smiles at her.
"Hey, so what's your name?" he asked.
"Martha."
"Michael."
They shake hands and start to talk.
_End Flashback_
"So what happened?" Leo asked.
"Well, we started talking to one another. He lived in the Satellite and I so did I."
"About how old were you?" Luna asked.
"I was 23 and he was 19," she responded, "We talked to one another and got each other's phone numbers. One night he called me."
_Flashback_
Martha's sitting down inside and watching a movie.
As she eats popcorn the phone starts to ring.
She paused the movie, puts the popcorn down, and gets up.
One the fourth ring, she picks up the phone.
"Hello?"
"Martha. It's me. Michael. Listen, do you want to go out?"
"Tonight? But it's so late," Martha noted.
"Well, then, do you want to go out on Friday?"
"Sure. That'd be great."
"Okay. I'll pick you up at 7," he said.
They hang up.
A few days later, Martha was getting ready in the bathroom.
She was doing some last minute touches to her hair.
"Oh, I'm so excited," Martha said, "My first date!"
Just then, the doorbell rings.
Martha smiles and runs her fingers through her hair one last time.
She turns off the light and goes to the door.
When she opens the door, Michael smiles at her.
He's wearing a dark brown jacket and a black scarf.
"You ready?" he asked.
"Just one second."
Martha gets her black coat and turns off the lights.
She locks the door and they get into Michael's car.
"So, where are we going?" Martha asked.
"You'll see."
They soon pull up to a fancy restaurant.
Martha's eyes widen.
"Michael, you didn't have to take me to such a nice place," Martha said.
"Well, it's out first date," he noted.
Martha blushed.
Later, Martha and Michael are leaving the restaurant.
"That was so good," Martha said, "I'm stuffed."
"Well, I'm glad you enjoyed it."
Micahael then drove to Martha's house.
Michael walked her up to the door.
"Michael, I had a really fun night tonight."
She leaned in and gave him a hug.
Michael was taken by surprise, but then wrapped his arms around her.
"I'm glad," he said.
_End Flashback_
"That sounds like fun," Luna said.
"It was and we went on some more dates. Each one was better than the last."
Martha smiled.
"Then, we had the dream date."
A/N: Sorry if this Chapter wasn't as good. I haven't wrote for a few says and need to get back into the swing of things.
Thanks for all of your support!
