Everywhere I wanted to go, we went. There was a time where we went the the ice cream shop and a time where we had gone to the store to get puppy pads. The puppy might have peed and Joker stepped on it. It was a moment of silence and clenched fists that made me worried for my puppy. Not far after that, he sighed and walked out. Now, we sit at the club of Jokers.
"People are looking at us." Joker looked at me when I said this but my focus was on the people who I kept an eye on. I was very uncomfortable. Joker looked to where I was looking and then chuckled. "Well, Maya, you have a puppy in my club. Then I have you and a puppy in my club. No one has seen us together like this in a really long time. Don't you think it's hilarious?" He threw his head back as he laughed. This left me very confused because, why would it be hilarious. Loki barked at at man who was walking near us and from the looks of it, the man wasn't a dog person.
The gun I had next to me was now in my hands and pointing at the man. He ran back and I waved to one of my henchmen. "Please bring Loki home. This isn't a safe environment for him." My henchmen nodded, taking my puppy and going out. Next I turned my head to Joker.
"Well, seems to me like you haven't stopped keeping an eye on me." I played around with Joker as the words came out of my mouth. His eyes were humorous and his lips stayed in a straight line.
His hands stayed on his cane as he moved around. "Of course. Love doesn't go away easily, my Maya. Not even for a crazy man. No... it makes him crazier!" The sound of his hands hitting the table frightened me. Some people around us glanced, thinking we were about to hurt one another or even them. I sent a shy smile to them and then looked back to Joker.
"Are we going to discuss this here?" My dress started to feel tighter and he nodded. "Okay then go ahead.."
Joker sat up on the arm top of the booth we were sitting at. Someone came over and handed us drinks. "Now, why would I love a women who left me?" The words were muffled by the cup that went to his lips. "I asked myself that after I thought of why I should kill you. Oh, I was going to kill you. You ripped my growing heart out." This was already getting too much. "I've never felt love in my life, Maya. When I kidnapped you... well I was going to kill you after I saw how poorly you did your first job with me. I hated you for the longest time because I thought you worked for Batman." That explains the unneeded torture. Joker shifted around, moving his hands. "Then, as I saw you screaming and the way you looked at me, I felt bad. After I stabbed you, you came to comfort me. Why would you do that?" I tried to answer but he shushed me.
The glass of scotch in his hands was now empty and he walked to me. I turned my body to face him and he cupped my face. "You loved me before you knew you loved me. And I know that feeling because I loved you before I knew I loved anything." Then he kissed me. The feeling was magical. This was the first kiss that I have had since the day I had left him. Lex and I were never this close and we certainly never would've. Batman and I were never going to get this close.
My body was lifted up and he stopped kissing me and started laughing. Everyone looked towards us, still doing whatever they were doing before. Joker started to walk out to the bar and led to me to the passengers seat. He ran back to his spot and started driving.
His car went about 20 above the speed limit and his face had a huge smile. Of course he had won this battle between us. This is why I was afraid of seeing him too much and too long. I wasn't supposed to deserve to love him. No one has hurt him in the way I did. Even when Harley left him, he didn't really love her. The women he had finally loved left him after they made love for the first time. I let him hold me in his sleep before he was left.
The car came to a stop at my house and he opened my door. We walked into my house where I felt very comfortable once again. Loki was asleep on the floor and I smiled at him. I led Joker to my room and he sat down on the bed.
"I'm going to change in the bathroom okay? I'll leave the door cracked so you can talk." I saw him smile and wink at me. Then I left to the bathroom with clothes in my hand.
"I've kept my eye on you forever. Or, at least, I tried. You changed your name and hair colour and started wearing make up. It's really hard trying to find a women when she changed everything about herself." I walked out and out my hair up before sitting on the bed next to him. "For once, I felt helpless. When you left and I was all alone, I noticed that the only reason there was a new and improved spark in how I lived was because of you. You made everything better and when you left, everything was different. The bombs and crazy antics were no longer funny."
I out my hand on his leg and I felt him flex. "Joker, I was scared that I would get killed. I couldn't die while we were in love. I couldn't leave you like that." A tear fell from my eye and I crumbled into Jokers chest. His arms wrapped around me as he laid down, caressing my body.
"Everyday I thought about you. No matter what I did. Joker, you were always on my mind. I've never hated myself so much in my life than the year apart from you." There was so much I wanted to say but I didn't know how to say it. Joker held onto me as we laid. I cried and he held me. This is what I needed, all I needed. Everything about this moment was both sad and sweet.
He let me close my eyes and I felt his lips kiss my forehead. Do to him getting comfortable and taking off his jacket, he must've thought I was asleep. Then he started speaking to me. "I'm crazy in love with you."
