Her Knight In Armor [Batman X OC]

3- Shopping

AN: THIS IS WHAT THE BUTLER ADAM OSLO LOOKS LIKE

I feel my shoulder being shaken gently so I open my eyes to reveal my butler standing in front of me. "Ms. Grey we should go dress shopping before it gets too dark outside. Shall I help you get dressed?"

"Thank you for the offer Mr. Oslo but I should shower, I smell like I ran five miles." I get off of my bed with the help of Adam. He starts my shower for me then sits my clothing on the countertop and walks out but turns around before he does.

"Let me know if you need anything Ms.Lilith I'll be waiting outside the door." He turns back and shuts the door behind him. I begin to undress and step into the shower. I let out a deep sigh as the warm water runs across my body.

I begin to lather soap all over my body which makes me start to think about my life. Sometimes I wish I never wanted to go to college. At least then I wouldn't be in the situation I am now, broken and all fucked up.

I break down crying and slide down to the shower floor. After a few minutes, I realized that I have to pull myself together if I want a better life, if I want to leave I must power through the pain for now.

I get back up and wash myself off and get out to wrap a towel around myself. After drying off I put my clothes on which consisted of a pair of jeans and a Siouxsie & the Banshees shirt.

I walk out of the bathroom and Mr. Oslo hands me a pair of flats. I grab them and slip them on. "You ready to go Mr. Oslo?" I say grabbing my coat and wallet.

"Yes, Ms.Grey let's walk to the car." As soon as we reach the bottom of the stairs my father stared at me angrily.

"Now where the hell do you think you are going dressed like that huh?" He went to raise his hand at me, I waited for the contact but it never came. I look up and see Mr. Oslo holding my father by the arm.

"I'm sorry Mr.Grey but I can't allow you to hit your daughter any longer. Mrs. Grey has wanted me to take her dress shopping if she chooses to dress this way then allow her to with all due respect, sir." Adam put extra emphasis on sir.

My father stood there amazed that Adam spoke against him but as soon as he opened his mouth to speak my mother joined in.

"Don't you dare say another word John, cause so help me God if you do I will slap you just like you do my daughter. Strike her ever again and this ring comes off." My mother says dragging him back to the living room along with her.

Adam grabs the keys to my Lamborghini and we walk to the garage. He opens my door for me so I get in, it feels weird not to be driving my car. The car starts up and we leave and steer towards the outskirts of Gotham.

We already live in the more countryside of Gotham but not near the outskirts so the drive was twenty minutes until we arrived at the formal wear shop.

Mr. Oslo opened my car door and helped me out. When I look up I instantly become swarmed with journalists and paparazzi. "Lilith Grey, how does it feel to be a part of the second richest family in Gotham?"

I decided to tell them no comment because I didn't have a personal view about it. "Excuse me Ms. Grey what do your parents have planned for the future of the Grey security company?" This was a question I actually wouldn't mind answering.

"I'm personally not too sure what they have planned but I heard it was something big." After making that comment more and more people tried talking to me but I kept on walking and so did Adam.

He opens the shop door and I walk in, him following behind me. "Good afternoon how may I help you two?" An older woman approaches us and smiles. Mr.
Oslo tells her we are looking for a party dress.

She directs us to a section that has plenty of party dresses, however, they all looked tight-fitting. If I was gonna get a dress it needed to be long and flowy.

"Hi um excuse me but do you have anything that doesn't hug the body all the way? I would prefer something with a slit and I would like it to fill out at the bottom."

The woman understands what I'm looking for and leads me to an area with the most beautiful dresses I have ever laid eyes on. They were all wedding-worthy even though they were made for a different occasion.

My gaze meets a stunning Emerald green dress. It had a deep plunge in the front which gave off sexy but not too much. I adored how it fell off the shoulder, this would show my neckline really good. Most importantly it had a slit to show off my legs.

"Do you like it, Mr. Oslo?" He nods his head and suggests for me to buy it, so I did. After purchasing the dress and giving the older woman my measurements, I decided to have it delivered home because I didn't want to force a big dress into my small car.

I begin to walk past the suits on my way out while suggesting for Adam to get one. He argues back and forth with me saying he has enough at home. As I turn my back to tell him to get one anyway. Someone bumps into me with enough force to almost bring me down. Big arms grab me to keep me steady.

"I'm so sorry miss, are you okay?" I look up and see the most attractive man on the planet. Bruce fucking Wayne himself just caught my fall. I tell him that I was fine and I should get going. He brushes my hair out of my face and smiles.

"If I may ask before you go what happened to your lip miss?" Oh fuck I forgot all about my lip, I hope the cameras didn't catch it. "Don't worry about it, it's nothing rough night I guess. You don't think the cameras saw it do you?" I ask worriedly about ruining my porcelain image.

"I don't think so it's like a small scratch but big enough to notice up close, be safe miss I must go now." He walks further into the store so Mr. Oslo and I head back out to the car.

"Do you and Bruce Wayne know each other Ms. Grey?" that question was followed by  "Are you and the million-dollar playboy together?" as well as "Was that love at first sight Lilith?" I just wanted to go home so I can process what just happened so I ignored all comments people asked and got in the passenger.
