"Words never been truer till this day"
Bruce thought to himself remembering a certain quote from a book he just finished reading. It was from the book that Diana lent him yesterday.
Currently, he is strolling through the empty streets of Gotham in a slightly rainy morning
He was planning on resting the whole day today, but a certain incident ruined it. Alfred had accidentally sprained his ankle and is limited to any movements whatsoever
The British butler was supposed to buy flowers for the garden at a certain new shop that he had instructed him to. Bruce, of course being the generous ward, had agreed wholeheartedly
"Gotta give the guy a break, he isn't getting any younger"
Upon finally reaching the shop, Bruce noticed the balloons on the outside with lots of colorful flowers decorated near the windows. A scent of all different kinds of floral aroma filled the inside which reached him from the door
He was about to enter the premises, but as he scanned the whole shop – a certain woman caught his eye...
"What is she doing here?"
He thought to himself while turning around. It was a good day indeed to wear a jacket hoodie for it will be very useful to him at his dilemma
There she was, no other than the Amazon princess herself spraying some solutions unto the pots wearing a sky blue apron. It didn't take long before she notices the presence in the shop with her
"Oh I'm sorry, Good Morning!!" she greeted with a friendly smile
"Are you interested in some flowers?"
Bruce gnashed his teeth upon hearing this – of all the flower shops in the world, Alfred chose this one...
The realization caught up to him like a speeding missile
"That damn English geezer!!"
"May I help you?"
Diana asked slowly as she notices the man fidgeting to himself, today is her first day of the job and so she is still quite inexperienced and naïve about how this whole thing works
"Aha haha, I'm just looking around, don't worry about me at all..." Bruce mumbled nervously as he glances at the flowers
He had his hood all up in his head to hide his face, it would be very ugly if Diana found out about him in the shop. She would probably think he is stalking her or something
For now, he just needs to find the flower that Alfred was requesting for and go on with his way
Bruce turned around slowly, hoping she was now looking at something other than him. And when he did, he finally caught a good view of Diana...
She looked... beautiful
Diana looked lovely in her simple outfit.
A beauty accompanied by the floral theme made Diana even more captivating. Her apron fits well with her eyes and her hair was tied in a very cute updo. She was wearing her amulet that was given to her back in Themyscira
Bruce couldn't help but stare for a few seconds, admiring the wonderful view in front of him despite his hood covering half his vision. It didn't take long before she caught notice of him gawking which Bruce immediately turned away in reflex
"What is wrong with me? As if it wasn't bad enough that I'm right here in the place of her work of all places. Not only am I a stalker... but also a creep..." he pondered to himself
