Chapter 2
The next morning Marti woke up in bed, but noticed that Julian wasn't there beside her. She got up and went down stairs. On her way down she was greeted with the heavenly scent of coffee, bacon, eggs and pancakes. When she got to the bottom of the stairs she saw Julian with his back turned to her. She stood at the bottom of the stairs, watching as he cooked breakfast. "Morning." She said.
Julian turned around with a smile on his face. "Morning, darling." Marti smiled back at him and sat down at the bar, just across from where he was standing. "How are you this morning?" Marti smiled at him. "I'm doing all right." She stood up and walked around the bar so hat she was now in front of him. She wrapped her arms around his neck and he followed by wrapping his arms around her waist and pulling her closer to him. "You know that honey suckle southern accent is a real turn on." Julian smiled at her. "It is, is it?"
Marti tiptoed up and gave him a long slow kiss. "Oh yeah." Julian put his hand behind her head and pulled her into a passionate kiss. Julian lifted Marti onto the bar. She wrapped her legs around his waist. After a few minutes of a very passionate make out session Marti started to smell something that was burning. Marti quickly pulled away. "Julian!" They both turned around and saw that food in the pan was on fire. Julian grabbed the fire extinguisher from underneath the sink and Marti hopped off from the counter. After a minute or so of trying to put it out the fire had stopped. As soon as Julian put down the extinguisher Marti bust out laughing. Julian gave her a stern look, but after a few seconds of watching Marti, he too started laughing. After a minute or so they finally calmed down.
"What time is it?" Marti asked. "Its about 9:30." Marti walked over to he coffee pot and poured her self some. "Okay, I should probably go to Cheertown to pick up some of my books and then since our breakfast caught fire, do you want to go out to brunch?" "Sure, no problem. Do you want to tell the squad about the engagement?" Marti went to put her now empty coffee mug into the sink. "Not just yet. I want to find the perfect time to tell them. Do you mind?"
"No, not at all. I'll be ready to tell them when you are."
Marti smiled. "Thanks, that means alot."
"Would you mind if I came with you?" Julian asked.
Marti smiled. "No, I don't mind at all. In fact I would love to have you there."
Julian smiled. "Well I'm going to go have my shower." Marti looked at him. "Is that an invitation?" Julian chuckled. "Has much as I would love that, you and I both know that we would never leave." Marti gave a small nod "Okay fine. I won't join you this time, but you owe me." Julian smiled "I hope you'll hold me to that." Marti smiled back at him. "You know I will." Marti watched as Julian went upstairs. She realized that after he had proposed she had become the happiest girl in the world and she couldn't wait to tell her friends. She just hoped they took it okay.
Marti and Julian walked into Cheertown hand in hand. Because it was a Saturday everyone was still at the dorm eating breakfast. Alice was the first to noticed the two. "Well if it isn't the happy couple." Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked up at Marti and Julian. "Hey guys." Just then Savannah walked into the room with Dan in toe. "Hey everyone I thought I heard Alice say something. Did I miss anything." Marti was the first to talk. "No, you didn't miss anything, Alice just seemed to think it would be fun to announce our arrival to all of Lancer. I'm just here to pick up some stuff and then we're going to brunch." Savannah smiled and was going to walk away when she noticed the ring on Marti's finger.
Savannah stopped dead in her tracks. "OMG! Marti I don't believe it!"
Marti had a look of confusion on her face until she realized what Savannah was talking about. She tried to hide her ring finger by putting her hand more behind that of Julians. She decided she was going to play dumb, because she wasn't ready to tell everyone yet. She was still getting used to it her self. "OMG what? Do I have something in my teeth? Hair?" Julian was also a little confused until he realize what Savannah was talking about. He knew that Marti didn't want to tell people about the engagement yet so he tried played dumb too. But Savannah being Savannah couldn't take a hint that they didn't want to talk about it, she ran over to Marti and pulled her hand out of Julian's.
Savannah started asking every question imaginable. "When did this happen?" Were you not going to tell us? How did it happen?" Saying all of this Savannah had defiantly got everyone's attention has to what was going on. Soon enough everyone was crowding Marti and Julian. Then what seemed like in sync everyone gasped at the sight of the ring on Marti's left hand. Both Marti and Julian knew, that they were going to have to say something. Julian looked very uncomfortable being surrounded by this many people but Marti was okay so she decided she would save his ass. "Julian can you go get my books for me?" Julian was happy Marti had given him a way out and he took it without hesitation "No problem. I'll be right back." Julian walked away into Marti's room. Now all eyes were on her.
She remembered the questions so she was going to answer them without saying anything else hoping it would confuse the squad long enough for her and Julian to get out. "Last night. No, not until I was ready. In the most romantic way imaginable." Everyone looked confused except for Savannah who had some how understood everything. "Aww, I'm so happy for you. I'm sure everyone's happy for you." Everyone nodded there heads and there were a few yeahs, and congratulations.
Lewis however didn't seem to like the idea. "Marti are you sure you should be marrying your Professor?" Just as Lewis said this Julian walked out of the room with Marti's books in hand. He realized that the question Lewis had asked had made Marti uncomfortable. So this time he was going to help Marti. "That's Ex-Professor Mr. Flynn. I resigned from the University when the board told me I was not aloud to marry Marti if I was still a teacher here. So instead of not marrying her, I quit." The guys didn't really understand much of what Julian just said, but the girls all had collective awws. Even Alice thought it was sweet. Although even after the explanation Lewis didn't look to happy but he didn't' say anything.
"Well guys, we're going to go. I'll see you all later." Marti walked out with Julian and walked towards their car. Once they were in the car Julian let out a small chuckle. "Well that didn't go as planned." Marti glared at him. "You think? But, I guess it could have been worse." Julian turned on the car and pulled out of the parking space. They would tell Wanda later, but for now they just had each other.
