I Choose Her

I'm okay

♦️Harley Quinn's Point Of View♦️

When I brush past Ivy I hurry downstairs inta ha spare room. When I head down stairs inta tha spare room an' shut tha door behind me. I take off ha robe an' get inta some actual clothes before headin' out of tha room and inta the kitchen. I make maself some coffee an' sit criss-crosses on ha island countertop. As I drink ma coffee I can't help but let all kinds of thoughts rush ta ma head. I think about maself, Ivy, an' Joker. Cold shivers get sent down ma spine. I finish ma coffee an' place tha mug beside me an' lie down on tha island. I close ma eyes, lettin' ma thoughts take me. I keep thinkin' about Ivy and I. I'm not sure why I am mad at ha but I am. Maybe because she was gone so long? Maybe because I missed ha? Love ha? I laugh at that thought. Nahhh, she's just a friend. Joker on tha otha hand. I love em loads, an' miss em. But I can't go back now... Who know what he'll do ta me. The blood-curdling thoughts fill my head. I feel a cold, slender hand on my arm. I jump up an' ma eyes shoot open. I see Ivy standing next ta me on tha island.

"Harley, are you okay? Earlier you seemed off and now I find you laying on a counter." She points out.

"Oh, yeah! Sorry." I put on a smile and jump off, walkin' ta my room. I feel her grab my wrist. When I turn around an' look inta her eyes I see... pain? Well that's a first.

"Really, what is up with you?" She asks.

"Are ya sayin' there's somethin' wrong with me?" I ask

"Yes. There is something wrong with you but this is different." She jokes. I can't help but let outta chuckle.

"Really, Ives. I'm good. I don't know what was wrong. I guess, I was just worried about ya. An' ya know, yer really tha only person I can talk ta an' I was just real bored yesterday. Real bored..." I say. "G'night."

"Goodnight..." I hear her say before I go inta ma room, closin' tha door. I lie down. I am on good terms with ha again. I feel like I can finally sleep so I do. In tha morning, when I wake up I see hear glass hitting each other. I rub my eyes an' listen ta tha sound. I follow it an' see Ivy in ha lab with tha door slightly cracked open. I peek in an' see Ivy workin' on some potion lookin' thin' an' a moving plant beside her. I try ta get a close look but I end up openin' tha door wida followed by a creeking sound from tha door. Ivy's head swiftly turn an' I step ta the side, hidin' before leavin' Ivy ta do whateva she's doin'. I fine tha urge ta cook maself some breakfast. A few minutes lata I see Ivy walk outta her lab, takin' her long red hair outta ha high bun. Ha soft, red, silky hair falls from the bun an' she pushes it behind her ear. I never realised how beautiful ha hair was. How beautiful ha features were. I feel my face gettin' hotter.

"Harley, I'm heading out to my greenhouse in tha back. Then today we'll go on a heist, I need some thing special for your... 'cure'." Ivy says.

"Can I come ta tha greenhouse? I can help, or be outta tha way. Which eva you prefer." I say.

🌿Poison Ivy's Point Of View🌿

Help? She want to help in the greenhouse?

"Uh, sure. You can some help." I say walking to the green house as she follows behind. I welcome her in. I admire the vines that grow up the glass and then giant plants all around.

"Whoa, it's so big. All these plants. How do ya take care of all of 'em all by yerself?" She asks me.

"It's honestly simple." I reply. I pick up a watering can, fill it up. When I do this I see Harely getting too close to a plant. "Don't touch that." I blurt.

"Why not?" She says steeping back and looking at me.

"You'll break into a terrible rash and feel heat come over your body until you drop dead." I answer and finish filling up the watering can.

"Oh.." She says holding her hands together. I hand the can to Harley. I see her struggle so she has to carry it up with two hands.

"Do me a favor and water these plants here." I point to a group of plant for her to water. As she waters those plants I examine one. I notice she is done and she walks around looking at everything. She turns the corner, when she does she is met with a gigantic Venus Fly-trap. She bumps into him and falls back. He snaps at her and she yelps, running behind me to hide. I can't help but laugh. Once we are done in the greenhouse we head back to the house. Harley gets changed and I wait fer her by the door.

"Hey, Ives!" I hear her yell from her room before she walks out, still trying to put on her sock.

"Hm?"

"When do ya get up? Like yer always up before me an' always ready." She states.

"Six. Six thirty if I'm still tired." Her eyes open wide and looks at me like I'm the crazy one.

"Six? Don't ya think that's a little too early?" She says as we walk out.

"No, that is pretty reasonable." I wink as we get into my car. "Oh, I have something for you."

"What is it?" She looks at me. "A kiss?" She says puckering up her lips and closing her eyes. I let out a laugh and place a kiss on her cheek, this takes her by surprise.

"But no, not a kiss, something else." I say. "But for now, we have a heist to attend to."
