Chapter 105 - Penthouse!

Martin and Alexi got out of the car and walked inside the Caffeine by Amaxi Hotel elevator. They both soon reached the penthouse and walked inside the penthouse and looked around for Samantha and Johnson.

"No one is here?" Martin asked and Alexi frowned and walked towards Kitchen, Martin followed her too.

"No, I will not!" Alexi, Martin heard Samantha saying as they both walked towards Kitchen and saw Johnson back where he leaned Samantha against the kitchen counter.

"Why? I just asked for one kiss." Johnson sulked.

"Umm... Hello." Alexi said clearing her throat and Johnson moved away from Samantha looking at Alexi, Martin.

"Umm... When did you guys come?" Johnson asleep scratching the back of his neck.

"Just now." Martin said with a chuckle.

"Umm... Go and get fresh. The dinner will be ready in a few minutes." Samantha said and Alexi nodded and walked upstairs to her room.

Martin walked inside the kitchen as he grabbed the apple from the counter and sat on the counter.

Johnson growled looking at Martin sitting in the kitchen and Martin raised his eyebrows at him.

"What?" Martin asked Johnson.

"Can you sit in the living room?" Johnson asked.

"So, you can romance here?" Martin asked Johnson and Samantha blushed.

"Shut up and get the hell out of here." Johnson said.

"I will not." Martin replied and Johnson tried to talk back but stopped as Samantha talked.

"You guys are not kids to fight." Samantha replied and Johnson rolled his eyes and sighed walking out of the Kitchen.

"I think everything is going good between you both, SIL." Martin said with a smile as soon as Johnson walked out of the kitchen.

"Yes, Martin. Everything is going good but tell me how is everything going on between you and Alexi?" Samantha asked Martin walking towards him.

"We are good, SIL." Martin replied.

"Tell me the truth, Martin." Samantha said.

"What truth, SIL?" Martin asked as he didn't meet Samantha's eyes.

"I saw how you look at Alexi, Martin." Samantha answered.

"How do I look at her?" Martin asked

"You look at Alexi the same way Johnson looks at me." Samantha answered.

"SIL... That..." Martin stuttered.

"Come on, Martin. Don't be a shy cat in front of your SIL." Samantha said and Martin sighed and got down from the counter.

"What if... What if I tell you that... That, I love Alexi?" Martin asked and Samantha's eyes widened with shock.

"What?" Samantha asked with a shock.

"Umm... I'm... Sorry but..." Martin stuttered.

"Idiot. Why sorry?" Samantha asked.

"Huh?" Martin asked.

"Tell me, you love her?" Samantha asked.

"Yes, SIL. I love Alexi." Martin answered and Samantha felt sincerity and genuine in his voice.

"I am so happy for you." Samantha said with a bright smile and hugged Martin.

"Are you not angry with me?" Martin asked

"Why will I be angry?" Samantha asked and Martin scratched the back of his neck nervously. "Look, Martin. I already said you that Alexi is not like other girls but a fierce girl. She will not let go of things easily even though it's a small thing. If it is related to her of her family then she will become so possessive of things that she wants hers and her family things should happen in her way and only in her way." Samantha said.

"Yes, she is so hard to understand and I know, how hard she can be too but these are all effects of her past. She went through a lot too. You know right, it's not easy to become an A-lister in this Hollywood without any background." Samantha said and Martin nodded.

"We have seen many relationships broken in front of our eyes. So, it's hard for her to accept you but don't lose hope, okay?" Samantha asked.

"I will not. But..." Martin stopped in mid-sentence as he looked at Samantha.

"But?" Samantha asked.

"I... I... I proposed to her today." Martin said making Samantha's eyes widened.

"Oh my god!" Samantha said and Martin scratched the back of his neck.

"You really proposed her?" Samantha asked and Martin nodded his head in yes with nervousness.

"What... What is her answer?" Samantha asked.

"I don't know." Martin answered.

"Huh?" Samantha asked with a confused face.

"Umm... I asked, can she be my girlfriend and said her about my love but she didn't accept nor rejected. So, I said to her to let's date." Martin said.

"And?" Samantha asked.

"I don't know, she wants time for this too." Martin answered.

"Ohhh... Let me talk to her." Samantha said and Martin nodded.

"But you need to forget your Playboy behavior." Samantha said.

"I will, SIL. I will for Alexi." Martin replied and they both hugged.

"Thank you." Samantha said with a big smile.

"But..." Martin said as they released from there hug and Samantha frowned.

"What it is now?" Samantha asked.

"If she accepted to date me then she wants to keep our relationship a secret." Martin said and Samantha frowned deeply.

"Why?" Samantha asked.

"Umm... Umm..." Martin stuttered.

"Why, Martin?" Samantha asked sternly.

"Because... Because of you." Martin said and Samantha looked at Martin.

"What?" Samantha asked.

"Yes, SIL. We want to protect you from the paparazzi and so she wants to keep our relationship a secret. It's okay, I don't mind keeping it. But, I want to let to know about our relationship with the family." Martin said.

"Martin, look. This is not correct. Because of ne, you can't keep your relationship secret. It's not good for you or for your relationship." Samantha said.

"I know, SIL but this is what we both wanted. So, please let us do this." Martin replied and Samantha sighed.

"Let me think about and talk to Alexi tonight." Samantha said and Martin nodded.

"What's going on here?" Alexi voice came and Samantha, Martin released from each other and turned around and saw Alexi and Johnson looking at them.

"Nothing!" Samantha said and Johnson frowned looking at Samantha but Martin excused himself and walked out of the kitchen.

Samantha turned around and started cooking and Alexi followed Martin.

"Is something bothering you?" Johnson asked wrapping his arms around Samantha's waist and kept his head on her shoulder.

"No. It's nothing!" Samantha answered.

"Fine. If you don't want to tell me." Johnson said and Samantha looked at him.

"You okay to keep our relationship a secret for a lifetime?" Samantha asked.

"What do you mean?" Johnson asked.

"What if I don't want to come out in front of the spotlight with you as your wife?" Samantha asked turning around in his arms.

"Did Martin talked about this with you now?" Johnson asked.

"No." Samantha answered.

"Then, why are you talking about this now?" Johnson asked.

"Nothing. I just wanted to know your answer." Samantha answered.

"Samantha, just know that I will accept it

whatever decision make upon this." Johnson replied as he cupped her face in his hands.

"No. I want your honest opinion on this." Samantha said and Johnson sighed.

"Sama..." Samantha cut off Johnson in mid-sentence as she kept her hands on his chest.

"No... Please tell me, what's your answer to this?" Samantha asked.

"Fine." Johnson said and looked at Samantha.

"You are the one good thing that happened in my life. You coming into my life is a very big thing for me and accepting for marrying me away bigger to me." Johnson said kissing her forehead.

"You trusted me and told me about your past and I accepted you as you are because I love you and I don't find any fault of yours in this." Johnson replied again looking into her eyes.

"Even though things happened to you which broke your heart. You still raised and shined big but didn't let yourself down anytime thinking about your past."

"You built this empire with your hard work. You made your name shine today yourself without knowing anything to people about you and now, I don't have any right to bring you out on the spotlight just because you are going to be my wife." Johnson said looking deep into Samantha's eyes.

"I know, even if you come in front of the spotlight or don't. You will be yourself and that proud smile will be always on your face but honestly, I want you to take your time to think about this because I really don't have any right to decide this for you. It depends on you to come out in front of the Spotlight as my wife or not but if you do then you know, you need to face so much trouble with paparazzi or with other public." Johnson said with a smile and Samantha gave a small smile to him.

"But, I will promise you that whatever decision you take I will support you. Even if you make the decision that you don't want to come out in front of the spotlight as my wife for the lifetime." Johnson said with a smile and Samantha hugged him tightly keeping her head on his chest.

"But, just don't suffer inside yourself keeping things in your heart without telling me. Just tell me everything whatever it is but I know, you need time. So, I am giving you but Just know that I will still accept you whatever it is because I need you in my life. So badly. It will be just us. You and me. It's enough for me." Johnson said and Samantha looked at him with her eyes wide and nodding her head.

"Thank you. Thank you so much." Samantha said as a tear fall down from her eyes.

"Hey, look at me. I love you and I want to spend the rest of my life with you and for that, I got to know, I need to be so patience and understanding for you, so I can spend my life with you and you." Johnson said cupping Samantha's face in his hands and her eyes widened.

Samantha took out his hands from her face and turned around showing her back to him and tried to control her tears which are at the edge of her eyes and Unfortunately, Johnson knows that she is still suffering and isn't telling him one more important thing in her life which is related to him and Samantha for future, which he got to know from Damon and Lucy...
