Loving the Joker (On Hold)

Confusion

Chapter five

"Dollface," Joker mutters as the glare leaves his face.

He walks over as I sit up.

I nibble on my bottom lip as he comes closer.

The Joker sits down besides me and places a hand on my thigh as he locks gazes with me.

"I thought I told you that you couldn't come to work with me?" He mutters in a loud, but rather calm tone.

I let out a sigh as I run a hand through my hair out of annoyance.

"I didn't follow you, it was just a bad coincidence...Besides, I thought Harley didn't mean anything to you," I scoff as I stand up, moving away from him.

"Doll," Joker frowns as he too stands up, and walks over to me, placing his hands on my waist.

"Don't touch me, not after I saw you getting all touchy with her," I frown as I quietly mutter.

Joker smiles as he leans closer.

"But Baby, she's really nothing to me. You, However, are...stunning."

With a grin, he presses his hands to my face, and pulls me into a kiss.

My eyes widen as he deepens the kiss.

I close my eyes as I kiss back and
I place my hands against his chest.

I push him away and mirror his frown.

"Stunning doesn't quite mean I'm anything special to you." I whisper as I furrow my brows.

"You are," Joker mutters with a smile on his face.

"Absolutely special to me," He inches closer once more and pushes the hair away from my eyes.

Slowly he brings his fingers down along my face towards my cheek.

"Are they getting better?"

I give a small smile.

"Somewhat, it hurts every now and then since the wounds reopened.. though I don't focus on the pain when I'm with you."

The Joker Hums in reply and traces his finger along the outside of the cuts he gave me.

"You're so-" Joker begins to say, when a loud bang resonates throughout the house.

"Puddin!" I roll my eyes at the familiar petname and frown at Joker.

"You really need to start locking the door."

Joker grins as he looks down at me.

He smirks as he lifts me up in his arms.

Out of surprise, I wrap my arms around his neck and my legs around his waist.

Joker carries me out of the bedroom and towards the sound of Harley walking around.

"Get out, Harely,"He tells her.

"Puddin! Who is she? Is she another stalker? Ya want me to get rid of her?" Harley rushes out her words in concern.

Joker lets out a sigh as he places me back down on the ground.

"Harley, you ruined 'fun-time',"He smirks and gives a suggesting look.

I feel the heat rise to my cheeks as I slowly shake my head in denial.

"What? Puddin! I thought I was enough for ya!"Harley cries out and with a final tear stained glare at me, she slams the door behind her as she leaves.

"Enough for you?" I raise a brow in confusion and turn to him.

Joker sighs from frustration as he throws whatever he has closest to him to the ground.

"Harley and I have and have had nothing between us. Why can't you understand that, Doll?"

I flinch and look down at the ground as he inches closer with every step.

"I'm sorry, Babe..I just misunderstood,"I whisper.

He smiles and pulls me against his chest as he gives me a small kiss.

With a teasing smile on my face, I pull away.

"Was there really any need to carry me?" I giggle quietly.

Joker grins as he nods.

"I like to show off what's mine."

I shake my head at his reply and turn to face him.

I walk back to the bedroom and take a seat on the bed, a thought suddenly dawns in my mind.

"Babe?" I question as he too enters the room.

"Yes, Dollface?"

"Didn't you say we had to 'Kill the Bat'?"

Joker looks towards me and frowns.

"About that..I just came to the conclusion..that you're just not ready for that. ..Besides, I have Harley to help."

Oh?

I bite the inside of my cheek as I simply nod.

No matter what, It always just comes back to Harley.

"Before you say a thing, Doll. Harley has been helping for years..Soon enough, You'll be able to work too. You just need some more.....Experience,"Joker slowly tells me as if I'll start another complaint about Harley.

"Alright," I mutter.
