-Jade- Posted May 16, 2006 Report Share Posted May 16, 2006 Chapter 3 Jack arrived back home after his walk, now with more on his mind than he had had when he had left his house earlier on. He didn’t know who she was, because he had never seen her before, but he felt strange. He felt different and he couldn’t explain it. Now all he could think of was her. Martha walked back slowly to the house. She was trying to sort out her feelings. She didn’t know what it was about him but she was feeling something that she had never felt before. It excited and scared her at the same time. She arrived at the front door of her house and sighed, preparing herself to continue the act again. “Jack! Lucas! Come on let’s go and welcome the neighbours!” shouted Tony. Jack and Lucas both entered the living room and groaned. “Dad do we have to?” asked Lucas. “Yes! Now quit with the whining guys.” Tony replied firmly as he walked out of the house. The boys had no choice but to follow him. Minutes later they arrived in front of the newly inhabited house. Jack could swear that he could hear arguing going on inside but he ignored it. After all Tony and Lucas hadn’t seemed to hear it. They knocked on the door. A man came to the door and smiled. Tony was first to talk. “Hi, well we noticed that you’re our new neighbours and we thought we’d offer our services if you need us to help move furniture in or anything.” “Wow, that’s kind! My name is Chris and I’ve moved here with my fiancée Martha.” He opened the door and let them in. “Just excuse me a minute.” Said Chris and he quickly rushed into one of the bedrooms. He saw Martha sitting on the window ledge looking out of the window, caught up in her own thoughts. “Martha, come meet our neighbours.” He whispered ushering her out of the room, but just before she left he grabbed her wrist. “Be nice.” He said patronisingly. Martha just gave him a filthy look. The two of them entered the front room and Martha let out a little gasp. She recognised Jack as the guy on the beach. The guy who, as soon as she had seen him, had given her butterflies in her stomach. She couldn’t believe that she was going to have to act all lovey dovey with Chris in front of him. She couldn’t believe that he was their neighbour. Jack looked in disappointment at Chris’s fiancée. The girl who he had met at the beach; the one who he had admired for her beauty; the one who had broken his heart by crying. She was engaged? He could understand, she was gorgeous, but he couldn’t believe it. More to the point, he didn’t want to believe it. His mind was now starting to go through their first encounter. Had she not felt it too? The electricity that passed when they touched. He had sworn that he saw some other expression in her eyes apart from hurt; one of longing. But now there was no way that he would ever get to see whether there could have been something more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-Jade- Posted May 17, 2006 Report Share Posted May 17, 2006 Chapter 4 If Jack was surprised then Martha was shocked. She couldn’t quite believe that he was her neighbour. She contemplated the fact that she would have to see him all the time and as much as the idea didn’t bother her, the situation was just all wrong. She looked at him and he looked right back at her. For a moment they held the gaze and then Martha quickly composed herself. The last thing she needed was Chris suspecting anything. She refused to look Jack in the eye. As Jack helped Chris and Martha move in she tried to avoid him at all costs. Every time Jack entered a room she left pretending that she was going to get another box or help Chris. Each time Jack saw right through her act. The few times when they did touch the attraction was clear. They both felt it and it was strong. Eventually the Holden’s left and Martha sighed in relief. She made her excuses and left for the beach. She loved it there. The beach had already charmed her and she could think of no better way to relax; or to let go of all her problems. She looked out at the sea and cursed herself for the millionth time for getting herself into this mess. She had really wanted to see where her and Jack could have gone; but she was with Chris and she had no choice. However, as much as she hated herself, she hated Chris even more. He had taken advantage of her and now she would have to spend the rest of her life with him. Her wedding, scheduled in just six short months was supposed to be the happiest day of her life. But it would be her worst. Jack got home, went straight to his room and collapsed on his bed. He sighed. He had finally met someone who made his heart skip a beat and she was off limits. To Chris. The moment jack had met him he had not liked him. Although Chris and Martha seemed happy he had almost seemed to control her. Something just wasn’t quite right, but he put it down to jealousy. Of course he didn’t want their relationship to be going well; but he had to face facts: they were moving in together and they were engaged. They had to be going well. He really no longer knew what to do so he decided that he would go for a walk. But as he entered the living room he saw Tony and Lucas sitting down, waiting. “So,” said Tony, “are you going to tell us what is going on?” Jack looked at them, a confused look on his face. “Don’t try and deny it.” said Lucas knowingly. Jack just continued to stare at them with an even more puzzled look on his face. Tony continued: “Come on Jack mate we saw the way you and Martha looked at each other.” Jack was shocked. Had it really been that obvious? Please please please tell me what you think! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
