For the next couple of days, I stayed home. The puppy had gotten lonely and I needed to take care of him. Loki is mine and it's also a great way to take a break from everything. Joker and I have made it normal to send a text here and there. Both of us aren't exactly the love to text type of people. Anything to keep his men away will help. This was his way of keeping an eye on me and also to speak to me.

Sometimes he wouldn't respond for hours then there would be something on the news about a robbery or an outbreak of laughing gas or some chemical in the Wayne Enterprise building. Once the news started being about other things than the Joker,mid usually flip the channel.

My phone buzzed as I was eating ramen noodles and I saw that it was a text from Joker. "Coming over :)." Looking at my surroundings, I noticed the puppy that was asleep on my legs, the shirt and panties that I had on, and the slightly dirty room. I shook it off because Joker has lived with me before and it shouldn't bother him.

I continued eating my noodles and watching Animal Planet. Really it's for Loki but sometimes they have some interesting things on.


At some point, I'd fallen asleep. Jokers voice had woken me up. "Daddy's home!" Once he noticed my eyes opening, he got quiet and even came over to me and kissed my head. Loki shot up and went to Joker and I got a little jealous. He seriously has a way with animals that I don't understand..

I walked over to him and yawned. Part of my shirt came up and Joker started eying me with his mouth open, showing the silver around all of his teeth. Something that I had found oddly sexy. My face started heating up as I saw that his eyes were filled up with lust. It seemed like it lasted forever but it didn't. Within a few seconds, his eyes left my body and went to the kitchen. He reached into the cabinet and got some scotch.

I grabbed two cups with some ice cubes and put them on the island. "So, what all have you done today?" A smile was on his face as he poured the drink into the glasses.

    "Oh, how nice of you to ask, sweetheart. I robbed a bank and then IIIIIIIII bought a new gun. What'd you do?" He took a swig of his drink and I chuckled at his behavior and chugged the rest of mine. As I spoke, I poured another glass.

    "Well, it was going to be an off day for the next couple of days. Tomorrow I need to clean... But I was doing nothing and I plan on keeping that." We both got quiet for a second then I walked over to Loki and put his leash on. With my glass still in my hand, I walked to the back area. Joker followed behind and brought the bottle and his glass.

    We sat down as I let Loki run a tad bit. "What are you doing here today anyways, J?" I kept my eyes on Loki as I asked the question.

    "Well, I also wanted some time alone and away from the chaos." My eyes widened as I turned my body to him. The Joker wants time away from what he's known for? Have I died and gone to some Hell or Heaven of some sort? This isn't normal. Also, he needs to decide whether to be my friend, more than my friend, or not friends at all. He can't just keep doing this whole leaving and coming back thing whenever he wanted.

      
       When we had finished the bottle and I felt just a tad tipsy, maybe more, Joker walked Loki in then came back out for me. My arm was around his waist as he kept me up. For some reason I was laughing but I had forgotten what it was about. We went up to my room and he dropped me onto my bed. My body was sprawled out like a starfish and I looked at Joker.

       He was going around the room and looking through drawers. "Hey! What are you doing?" Without stopping, he sighed. "I'm finding some shorts for you to wear because you're cold." My head tilted side to side and I laughed.

       Joker came over and told me to sit up, so I did. He helped me put on some shorts and then he sat down on the bed. Nothing was really on my mind and all logic was out. I felt very childish and immature. Just a normal drunken state as he was with me and I drank more than he did. I pushed us down to lay down on the bed and I drew circles on his chest.

       "Gosh. Who gets drunk in the evening? That doesn't even make sense and I must be tired or something because I'm not thinking right." Under me, his heart skipped faster and I pressed my head to his chest even more. The sound of his heartbeat was so soothing to me and I could listen to it all day.

       A yawn escaped my lips and Joker was playing with my hair. When I looked up, his eyes were closed. "Are you going to go to sleep, J?" One of his eyes peeled open and he blew a kiss to me as he pretended to shoot me with a finger gun. We chuckled and he closed his eyes again.

       I went up to him and kissed his lips. I'd wanted to do it all day and really every single day I see him but I never had the guts to. His arm went around me tighter as we held onto the kiss longer. What was once a short peck became a long and passionate peck. Everything was blissful and my mind was exploding in joy. There were butterflies from my stomach that we're going all over the place and tickling my heart with tiny kisses.

     We both pulled away and he looked at me as I went back down. There wasn't any embarrassment but a part of me knew that I would think about this whenever I wake up and be slightly embarrassed by my uncontrolled behavior due to the alcohol that we had consumed. Was I okay with it? It sure felt like I was okay with it and according to his reaction, he was okay with it as well.

       I didn't bother looking up when I felt his lips kiss my head and then cuddle into me. This was all so good and blissful and I didn't want to ruin it. Maybe this is how he calms down from  a busy day or maybe this is how he wants to be.  Whatever it was, was fine by me. I loved this side of Joker the most. This was the side that no one else saw or felt but me and that's so astonishing. I'd be jealous of me.

       One final yawn and I felt my mind start to shut off as I started falling asleep. Before I could, I heard Joker whisper in my ear. "I love you too."
