Chapter twenty five- a whole lot of lies



I woke up late in the morning after an all too stressful day and night. Luckily a good omen presented itself through the broken open window, and that was, sunlight. After the days of rain we had it was all too inviting.

For a moment I forgot about all my troubles, and I stretched out my limbs. The first conscious thought that came into my head was 'man that kiss yesterday felt so good', but right after that I started to think about how I betrayed Bruce, and how I might justify it for him walking out on me in the middle of a mental break down.

I needed to see him.

So that's what I did, I texted him.

Last night I couldn't stop thinking about what had happened. The only thing that comforted me enough to fall asleep was the idea that Batman was still out there, kicking ass, no thanks to me, and he may or may not be watching me.

I had to admit, the kiss felt a little cliché, but holy crap was it amazing. Even just the idea that it was a bit dangerous, and a bit scandalous, made it all the more, sexy.

I felt like I was in some twilight movie, torn between two supernatural hotties. So which one do I choose, Edward Cullen/Christian Grey, minus the fangs and bondage, or do I choose Jacob minus the fur and the shiftlessness.

Most importantly, why wouldn't Bruce text me back? Did he know? There was no way he could have found out. Besides he was the one keeping secrets from me, not the other way around. I mean it was just a kiss, it didn't mean anything, right?

Of course it meant something, what was I kidding myself. If I can't stop thinking about it, the way he smelled, the feeling of his lips, the way he just felt so, so comforting. Oh shit I just think I might have a crush on Batman, which happens to be totally ridiculous since I don't even know his name, or what he looks like. Whatever it was that I was feeling, it was something.

I missed Daisy, I needed a girl, one that I knew enough to ask her for relationship advice. Bruce wasn't at all answering my texts or calls, and I was in no mood to try and deal with Gordon and his issues today, seeing as police headquarters is in shambles and the national guard are on their way, if they aren't already here.

I texted Daisy;

Can we meet?

And she texted back;

Outside GCND, in twenty minutes for my break?

I smiled at my phone, grabbed my coat and umbrella, just in case the rain started again, and slid out of my apartment quickly, leaving behind a broken window and pool of blood in my wake.

I got into my car and drove, carefully, to the GCND building. I hadn't seen a single sign of military interference in my way, but the traffic was minimal. People were scared no doubt. I certainly was. I'm not sure why, but I was in the center of it all now, maybe because of Bruce, maybe because of Gordon, but mostly and probably because of Harold, this all started with him.

I pulled out in front of the GCND, however twenty minutes had not passed. She was still inside the building. I was bored and I needed someone right now, waiting wasn't going to be an option for me. I parked my car across the street and wasted no time darting across the way to the tall building, and making my way into the elevator.

As I walked through the new floor Daisy worked on, the crime department floor, people I both knew and didn't know passes by me with wide eyed glares and open mouthes. I'm not sure why they were so stunned to see me, but I couldn't blame them, I was dating Bruce Wayne and I was just on TV standing next to Commissioner Gordon.
