Chapter 6
Its been 2 weeks they started the lesson and Chief is impressed by the progress of his daughter and Martins always get his wish, he get to see Joy smile everyday. Then subconsciously their bond is getting stronger.
"Seems you are not in a good mood today" Martins asked, Joy looks gloomy and its affecting Martins
"Not really" she answered weakily.
"Tell me what's wrong" he persuaded, which he don't need much of, cause Joy never say no to him.
"I found out my ex and Tonia my friend, are together" she said, Martins heart pained at the mention of ex. But he have no right to act on it.
"And you still love him" he asked, ignoring the pain the answer will give him
"Perhaps a little, but seeing him together with my friend will make it hard to forget him" she said
"Its his loss" Martins said, earning a scoff from Joy.
"How so, he is handsome, like the type of guy you read from a romance novel and am just a plain girl" she said and slumps
"You're beautiful my dear, have you seen yourself in the mirror, you are like a Christmas morning and believe me that, gives smile to people, you can make a gay fall for you with just a smile" Martins said, never have anyone said something like this to joy, and it made her heart fonder
"Then what's keeping you from falling" she asked and cleared her throat, that instant the atmosphere changed and she can't keep her face up, she gently tuck her hair behind her ear, Martins knows his next word will matter, if he is truthful he will say he already fallen, but he doesn't say that.
"Cause am already taken" he said with a smile hoping its the best answer, Joy was disappointed, he got her heart skipped only to burst her bubble.
"You know what, am not up for today's lesson" she sat up and went into her room, just like Martins joy have been in denial, she have started developing feelings for him. She thought its not one side but with Martins answer she was knocked down.
After that day Martins went home restless, not only because he didn't get his rewarding smile, but also he is part of the reason she is moody. He came home early, today.
"You came home early" his mother asked
"Yes, finished early" he answered
"OK, am off to market" she answered, and left, the money Martins have been getting from the tutoring have been a great help. After his mom left he tried to sleep but couldn't, time seems to go slowly
"I answered right" he said to himself, he know acting on his feeling is one way ticket to hell, but why does he feel so bad for doing the right thing. When he couldn't endure it anymore he left the house, and kept the key where they normally keep it, he is heading straight to Joy house.
It didn't take him much time to arrive but he didn't get pass the gate cause he is conflicted, he knows if he decides to take things further it will end badly,
"The rich and the poor never get good relationship" he said to himself, with that he gently went home, as Martins is torn apart, Joy is angry in her room.
"Who does he think he is" she asked herself, while for Martins it's love at first sight, for joy it's slow but steady.
"I can't believe his answer affected me this much" from being angry at Martins she is now angry at herself
"He think he can resist me cause he's taken, we will see about that" She said already cooking up a plan.
