Round 1 - August 2010

Round 1: August 2010

Wyatt Family

Martin Wyatt ; 25

Martin remembers the first day he saw her. She had just moved into the apartment diagonal from him and she was always sad. He took it upon himself to introduce himself and they hit it off, it was almost like they had known each other their whole lives. 

Martin knocks on Laurie's door. He knew she was home because like him she normally worked nights. 

"Open up girl! I've got a surprise for you!" 

Laurie opens the door in her comfy wear. Martin could always count on her to have on her cat leggings when she was relaxing at home. 

"Hot date?"

"Surprise?"

"Touche." They chuckle before heading to the couch for a movie marathon.

"Laurie Lou Young.. Don't ever invite me over to a movie that stupid ever again!" Laurie laughs at her best friend. He was so dramatic. She couldn't possibly figure why the drama king himself was single.

Chatting went on for a few hours before Martin left to get ready for work. 

**************

Months went by like that. Just two friends hanging out, enjoying a beer, and laughing. They talked about everything from Work to Politics. The subject didn't matter they just liked each others energies. Neither one can tell you when things changed or who fell for who first for that matter but all they know is they did. 

Martin was the most shocked about it because Laurie wasn't his type at all. A red head? Yuck. Tom boyish? Extra gross. Cat lady? Shoot me. That's how he felt about her at first but now? Now, he couldn't imagine a day when she wasn't apart of his life. 

He would have to imagine it though. His comfy job as a security guard at the Goldcrest Plaza was just snatched away from him. He depended on that check to survive. Hell, the apartment he was renting was way out of his checkbook but with this job he was just barely able to scrape by. 

Martin had no idea what he was going to do. He wasn't college education, barely passed highschool. With a deep sigh Martin walked up the stairs to his apartment. His stress level didn't even have a number. If he couldn't find a job soon he would be out on his ass. 

Notes:

OHMYGOSH Martin was so much fun to write AND him and Laurie falling in love was all their doing. Laurie fell in love first but Martin made the first moves. 

The only thing that bugs me is that they have no chemistry so IDK if I will have them stay together but as of now they are so stinking cute together. I cannot wait until his go around again. I want more Laurie and Martin damn it. LOL

As far as the ROS is concerned it seemed to flow better with Martins round. Him and Laurie watching the Mime Cats movies. Perfect. I couldn't have planned it better myself. Shout out to the games Auto because a lot of the things in this update wouldn't be possible without it. LOL
