Chapter 7
Martins came today pretending nothing happened, which is more difficult since George went back to school, Chief and his wife are not around, they will be together alone today.
Martins is currently waiting for Joy to come down, he first heard the footsteps, it made him remember the day he first saw her, he then turn. Before him is standing the most beautiful creature and once again her beauty consumed him all. Joy made sure to apply light make up, loosen her hair which she always tie.
"Wow" Martins whispered
"So what's for today, tutor" she said tucking her hair behind her ear, she's happy that it affected Martins, though he tried not to show it, he is dazed.
Throughout the lesson, Martins could barely keep his eyes off her, he feels guilty for having such a lewd thought for his friend's younger sister, but the urge to have her clouds the guilty.
"That's all for today's lesson" Martins said dangling back and forth. He can't believe he is shy
"Well its too early to just conclude today" Joy said
"So you want to do something interesting" He asked even before he could hold himself.
"Sure, what do you want to do" she asked, they fell into awkward silent Martins is thinking how to impress Joy, but she will accept anything he says.
"Let's just go wherever fate leads us" he said, and for the very first time he is leaving everything in the hands of fate
"Sure" she said, Martins extends his hand and she took it, it sets Martins body on fire, since he have been tutoring him he always avoid touching her. They locked gaze for a moment before sanity took over Martins
"Let's go" he said and Joy followed. Joy kept thinking why she is going with him, why she is shy, all this questions and no answer.
After a while they arrived at an eatry, Martins have never taken a girl out before, he don't know how to act or what to say, and he is praying the little money he have will be enough
"What can they get for you" he asked, Joy knowing Martins situation don't want to be greedy
"Just coke" she said, and he is not here to eat but spend time with Martins, he was glad she chose a cheap thing so he didn't force her, he just went to the counter and brought her coke and got himself water. He heard it really gives style to a man.
"So can I ask you something" joy asked as she took her first sip
"Shoot"
"Truthfully I never knew I can be this intelligent, so does that mean everything is possible" she asked
"Yes, everything" he said looking around to show Joy example of impossible made possible, he saw the waitress making call "look, phone was invented by Alexander Graham Bell, before he did, people never even thought of it, to even tag it impossible or possible" He then look back at her.
"Nobody believed men could fly, it was impossible, but Wright brothers made it possible" joy smile inwardly at how smart he is, maybe that's why she is drawn to him.
"The truth is, things is only as possible as we believe it to be" he said,
"So if I believe, I can be the president of this country, then I will" she asked, making Martins laugh
"Yes, but believe is not sufficient alone, hardworking, persistence, faith are also included, don't forget you really have to love the thing you do so you won't just give up" he said.
"You can be a philosopher with your level of wisdom" she said
"And you can be a model with your level of beauty" he replied, making Joy choke, she coughed a little then gave Martins a gentle smile.
They spent the whole day talking about random things, with joy falling at every passing seconds. She then took her time to look at Martins and notice things she never did.
Like how he scratch his nose when he is thinking, how he hold his chest while laughing, his nails so fine like a ladies own, and how he taps them on the table one after the other making a perfect galloping sound.
They went home around 5 so Joy will be home before her parents come back, they both walked slowly since they don't want to leave each others company. They reached the gate they faced each other to say their goodbye.
"Today was fun" she said, and Martins nodded "that means you have graduated from tutor to friend" she said with a smile.
"Alright" he said and came closer, joy felt blood rushed to her face making it as red as tomato
"Goodbye" he said and leaned closer, joy thinking she is about to kiss the lips she's been thinking about all day closed her eyes. She received a kiss, but not on the lips but forehead, it was still enough to make her curl her toe.
"Goodbye" she whispered, as Martins leaned away, he gave her the last smile and walked home.
Joy touched her forehead where Martins warmth still lingers, kiss on the head, a kiss filled with love not lust, a kiss of respect and recognition.
"How can I stop myself from falling when you're being so sweet" she muttered as she walked inside.
