The Family Tree

Chapter 12

"Ann, we all know that I and her were not good together, but me and you, we are forever." Martin said holding my shoulders and rubbing them making me uncomfortable as he smiled.

I pushed his hands off and turned around. "I'm going downstairs, please don't do that again, it makes me uncomfortable." and walked on down the stairs.

As I walked I heard footsteps behind me and then I looked behind me to see Martin following me.

"What do you want?" I asked turning around.

"If I divorce her will you marry me?" Martin asked.

"Okay, when did you become so soft?" I asked Martin in a lady manner.

"I'm sorry, I just, I realized that you are the one I want." Martin said as he looked into my eyes.

"Boy act like a man and get your boots on and get your ass to work, is that what you wanna hear all day?" I cried trying to tell him it was probably not best.

"Yes, from you, listen I'm crazy for you and I love you." Martin said holding my hands.

"That's the sad excuse you gave me when we first got together." I said letting him hold my hand still.

"Yes." Martin said patting my hand and letting go.

"Imma go see how the children are doing, if you change your mind I'll be with the children obviously." He said walking back up the stairs.

I walked outside to get some air, I looked up at the sky and saw it was about to rain, I guess the "good day" will be a really bad day.

'Do I really wanna start over with a man who left me for another?' I said in my head.

I looked up at the gray clouded sky and thought 'Oh dear lord, you helped me with everything, what should do now?'

Then I made my discussion, I walked back into the house and walked into the kitchen where everyone decided to be.

"I need to talk to Martin." I said looking dead at him.

"What do you need?" he asked.

"Don't ask questions and come here, boy!" I yelled playfully.

He follows me out of the kitchen into the living room where we talked.

"Martin, I will get back with you in only two conditions." I said getting all red about what I said.

"What is it?" He said as if he was really interested.

"One don't ever leave me again for a dummy doll wanna be and two divorce her."I said looking into his eyes.

"Alright, I'm willing to do that." Martin said with a smile on his face.
