in love with a psycho

lips as red as blood

"ID please" said the bouncer making our entry come to a halt. Eloise handed him both of our IDs and the buff man examined them vaguely before shortly handing the important plastic back to us. I linked arms with Eloise as we made our way into the crowd of drunk dancers, not wanting to loose her, and we both made our way to the bar.

"8 shots of blue Kamikaze please" Eloise asked the bartender eager to get on the dance floor. 15 seconds later we had the alcohol in front of us, waiting to be drank. Shot after shot we had eventually finished them and Eloise had already found some random hot guy to dance with, she was having the time of her life. I couldn't relate though.

I am a light drinker on a whole so I felt really sick after the shots, I fast walked my way to the women's room and I threw up. Thankfully it didn't get on my dress or any of my belongings so I quickly cleaned myself up and I brushed my teeth about 7 times with my spare toothbrush in my bag. I walked out of the bathroom as if nothing had happened and placed myself on a barstool next to the bar.

Waving at the bartender to get his attention I asked for some water to make me feel better and while I was waiting for it I examined the whole club. The flashing lights covered the whole room and the floor had some cages for the strippers. Men were throwing $1 bills at them and smirks appeared on the dancers faces, thinking of what they will buy with their cash. There was one room in the club though, on the door there was a sign called 'VIP ONLY' and two bouncers were guarding the room. I wonder what's in it.

"Your ice has already melted babygirl" appeared the low raspy voice, something about it seemed familiar but I couldn't quite point out what.
"Yeah well to be honest I couldn't give a shit" I murmured just wanting to go home already. He grunted and tried to keep his cool as much as he could "what's up? Why are u so pissed off darling?" He asked intrigued.
"Basically I came to Gotham to see my best friend and my boyfriend.. well ex boyfriend now. And I found out this morning that he was cheating on me and all I want to do is go home yet my friend it dancing with random guys on the dance floor" I hadn't looked up once but I could sense the air in the room tense up, was he mad?
"I'm sorry I shouldn't have told you all of that don't worry about it" I quickly said trying to smooth out the tension. I finally lifted my head to see a green haired man, skin as white as a snowflake and lips as red as blood. He looked so familiar.. was this the man in my dream?

I soon realised who I actually had the dream about.. THE JOKER!! I try to put on my best brave face and I take small sips of my now iceless water. A moment of silence was portrayed on us. Trying to think of what to do, my thoughts were interrupted by a proposal. "Would you like me to take you home doll?" He asked with certainty in his emerald green eyes.
"Oh are you sure I mean.. I don't even know your name haha" I glance at his eyes once again.
"My name isn't really that important but you can just call me J" she said with a smirk on his handsome face.

"Okay sure you can take me home if you want if it's no trouble" I hesitated knowing who he was. But all I wanted right now was to get back into bed and sink my head into my soft pillow, making all the chaos today go away. The tall lean man stood up and held out his arm for me to hold, doing so we both walked silently to the car park. He had a special car parking area, I asked him why already knowing the answer and he replied with "oh there were no parking spaces left so I had to park here" I knew he was lying but what was the point in questioning him.

I hopped in the passenger seat of the infamous purple Lamborghini and we sped off. Somehow we got to Eloises apartment in under 10 minutes and I was happy because I was so close to my bed. J parked the car outside of the apartment building and offered to walk me to my room but I declined, I didn't want the joker knowing my exact room. I thanked him politely and he grabbed my boney hand and kissed it gently, his cold lips pressing against my skin.

Walking into the modern building I heard his car speed off into the night. Wait? I didn't tell him where the destination was so how did he know?!
