"Na…Nathan?" asked Martha as she turned around and held the sink.
[Silence!]
"I guess you still….Why are you here? How are you here? Or are my eyes deceiving me?" asked Martha.
[Silence]
"Whoever you are, I'm sorry. I just have to…" said Martha and Nathan took a step towards her.
"Milky Way!" he whispered.
"Nathan!" said Martha as tears brimmed in her eyes. She threw a punch to his face and before he could understand what she wanted to do, a blow had crashed on his jaw. His face whipped to the side and he held his jaw. She had used all her strength in that one blow and her body was shaking all over in anger and pain. She brushed past him and aimed for the bedroom but her eyes were still dazed and she was feeling really light. She fell to the floor and Nathan rushed to her side. She wanted to hit him again but he held her arm and placed it around his neck instead before he carried her princess style and took her to the bed.
She sat upright on the bed and looked at her fingers, "I want to go home"
"Once the rain ceases!" Nathan replied and sat on the couch. She could not believe she was staying in the same room as Nathan, she could not believe she was breathing the same air that he was and yet things felt so different.
She swung her leg to the floor and stood up with determination in her eyes.
"I demand to go now. I can't bear to be in the same room as you!" said Martha and Nathan stood up from the couch and walked to her.
"Do you detest me that much?" said Nathan as he stood in her way.
"I don't detest you much Nathan. I detest you with all of me. You have done nothing but bring ache to me. Now step away!"
Her words cut through his heart sharper than his Japanese sword cut through that van and his heart bled the more.
"Even if I want to. I can not allow you, your brothers and dad would have my head if I did. You are stuck with me till morning love"
She sat down on the bed in anger and frustration and her action caused her healing thigh to hurt a little.
"Shit!" she cursed as she held that part of her leg. Nathan knelt before her the next second to know what was wrong. He saw her holding that part of her thigh and he knew she had stressed her injury from all her dancing and falling today.
He placed her hand on her thigh to check on the injury but she swatted his hand away. "Don't touch me!" she said with hatred.
He huffed at her and placed his large slightly callused hands on her thigh before he spread her legs and knelt in between her legs. "You would have to save your attitude for the night!" said Nathan. He was a hair's breath from her and she could feel his minty breath fanning on her face. He hiked her gown higher and there he saw the healing scar wound on her thigh. She removed her face from his so she would not see the look of hate he would give on seeing it but he did nothing of that nature. Instead, he brought his lips to the scar and blew on it.
"I know you hate me" (a blow of air on the wound)
"I know you don't want to see me" (a blow of air on the wound)
"I know no explanation I can give would ever make sense to you!" (a blow of air on the wound)
Martha closed her eyes as she could not understand the feeling of pleasure that was torching its way due to their proximity. She fisted the sheets and rested her weight on her arms. He was so freaking close and feeling his body temperature and that scent that was peculiar to him, had her brain mushy.
"I don't deserve your understanding Martha but I want you to know that I never left you. You would always remain my only…Only you make sense to me Martha!" said Nathan and he planted a kiss on the scar. One of Martha's hands went to his hair and he looked up to her face. That was the sexiest thing he had seen in his whole life.
"Hermosa" he said as he stared at her face and as her eyes fluttered to open, he clamped his lips on hers. He expected her to push him away but she kissed him back…with the same vigour and rush of emotions he kissed her with. He held the back of her head and gently laid her on the bed, with his lips still connected to hers. Immediately, her back touched the bed, she flipped their positions and straddled him.
This Martha was definitely not the Martha of two years ago! She was like the upgraded version.
"I don't think I can forgive you for how badly you treat me but for this moment I would lay my hate aside and I..I want us to have this!" With that, she placed her lips back on his and he held her waist as they kissed. Her gown had hiked higher and was almost on the same level as her lingerie but right now, she was going to be…shameless. She poured her heart into the kiss and she hoped the kiss would convey how much she had missed him. Nathan's hands roamed around her bare back and he switched their positions again. He rested his back on the headrest of the bed and watched as Martha stood up on the bed. With her eyes on his, she untied the knot that was holding her dress in place and the dress gathered at her feet. She was standing before him, in a tiny black lingerie that covered a small part of her private part. He swallowed as he looked at her.
She was definitely not the same Martha he had kissed in the ring that day. The goddess before him was simply beautiful in every way.
