Penguin's Bird ~ A Gotham Fanfic

Chapter Twenty-One: Getting closer

Chapter Twenty-One: Getting closer

Dacey's POV:

I walk down the cobbled paving, my hair bounces off of my shoulders as I stride across the streets. I am yet again on another mission. My mother still hasn't come back or been found. I still have no idea where she is, she just left and vanished without anything. She didn't even give me an indication that she left Gotham or that she would be leaving... She didn't even give me a message telling me where she was going. She just left... Abandoning me...

My black heels click against the pavement as I pass many of the shops in Gotham. This isn't what you exactly call the high street. There is no big shopping centre and if there was, I hadn't heard about it, or it will have gotten destroyed. Despite everything, I love Gotham, it's my home, it's where I was brought up and raised. Who cares if this city is eventually going to destroy itself? 

As I continue to walk I hear music playing in the distance. The same band and one person that conveniently played or would be near whenever I was having a dilemma. Coincidence? I think not...

"She was the youngest of the family

And the last to be let go,

Then they decided they would try

To make it on their own.

Oh, memories!

Where'd you go?

You were all I've ever known!

How I miss yesterday!

And how I'd let it fade away?

Where'd you go?" I smile to myself and let the music carry me away. Listening to the band and the melodies took away any worry that I may have felt and my whole aura became relaxed. I twirl around, dancing a little until my eyes spring upon a certain familiar raven-haired man who was grinning at me. 

"When July became December,

Their affection fought the cold.

But they couldn't quite remember,

What inspired them to go.

And it was beautifully depressing,

Like a 'Street Car Named Desire'.

They were fighting for their love,

It started growing tired," I walk over to him casually as he smirks and takes my hand spinning me around on my heel to the music. I laugh at him and his actions before I feel him grab my waist and dipped me backwards, letting the music control his own body. 

"Oh, memories!

Where'd you go?

You were all I've ever known!

How I miss yesterday!

And how I'd let it fade away?

Don't fade away." We continue to spin and dance to the music until the song finishes. I feel my body being dipped again but this time there is a difference to the first... a major difference. Let's just say I wasn't as impressed as he may have hoped for me to be. 

I feel the soft, warm lips collide with my own as they press against mine tenderly. My eyes widen in shock and confusion as I feel Tyler continue to kiss me. I remain still as I feel my own mind freaking out at what he was doing. I can't kiss back... I don't feel the same way that he may have hoped. 

Even though I don't want to hurt his feelings I can't lead him on by kissing back. Tyler wasn't for me, it didn't feel right for his lips to be upon my own. Nothing about this kiss felt right... if you could call it a kiss. A kiss in my books is like a compromise where both parties want to take part in the agreement, me, however, I wanted no part of this. Tyler had been declined... I was playing with his feelings if I kissed back and that was something I refused to do.
