Chapter 53

(HARLEY's POV)

He looks at my eyes. "Beautiful." He whispers. Puddin then touches my pony tails, undoing both. My hair falls onto my shoulders.

"Still beautiful." He smiles.

"You're still handsome." I say, looking into his eyes. Which turns dark once I say handsome.

"Harley..." he says, stuffing his face into my hair.

"Yes Puddin?" I ask.

"I... I want to know why you find me appealing... attractive. It's astonishing how someone as beautiful as you could love something... so hideous." I mumble.

"Puddin-" she says, but I cut her off.

"I know what you're gonna say. You're going to say 'no you're not, you're handsome' but I don't want you too. I want to know why you fell for me in the first place. The first time I met you was when you were passing by my cell in the-"

"Asylum." She mumbles.

"Indeed." I say, smiling a bit.

"When I first met you, you tried to convince me to talk to you. Starting with flirting then we became closer as I started interviewing you- that's when you told me lies about your past... and that's what made me feel a connection towards you. Knowing something that others don't. You told me your father abused you, that you hated Bat Man, and that's what made me fall for you. The pity."

"The pity?" I ask.

"You made me feel bad for you. I thought we had a real emotional connection. That's where it all began. I couldn't give a damn if you were horrible, your
'past' spoke for itself. It's what added the pieces that made you, you. And that's what I like about you. You're you, because you have a reason."

"I didn't know that.. I just thought you found me attractive." I say.

"I still do." She smiles, kissing my forehead.

"Non of the things I told you were true though-" she cuts me off.

"I couldn't give a damn if they were. I love you. That's all that matters Puddin. You're attractive in my eyes. I can give you examples of why I even find you attractive. It doesn't even have to do with looks."

"Oh really?"

"Yeah." She smiles.

"Name them for me then." I smile back, "name at least five." I add.
