His Angel // A Joker Fanfic //

Chapter Fifteen - Awkward

I slowly pulled away and looked up at him with sorrowful eyes. I can't say I regret doing what I just did, but I can't say that I'm positive if he wanted it. Then again, he did kiss back. Is it possible that I'm falling for the clown prince of crime, or am I just losing my mind. We each opened our mouths to say something, but was quickly interrupted by Harley. Crap I almost forgot she was up there. "Hey you two! Care to get me down?" She shouted. How the heck am I supposed to do that? "Boys, get her down and take her back to the hideout. I'll take Angel with me." Jack ordered his men. They all nodded and made their way up to Harley. Jack didn't even look back at me, he just headed towards the door where we came in. I quickly followed behind him, the thick liquid dripping off me still. Why do I have the feeling that it's gonna be an awkward silence all the way back? His car was parked right outside, and we both got in. I was kinda worried that the chemicals still on me would destroy the seat, but he didn't really seem bothered. And I was right, the whole drive back was dead silent. I just stared out the side window while he concentrated on driving. I didn't want to say anything, not until he does. When we got back I got straight out of the car and quickly walked inside. I went straight up to my room and closed the door behind me. I walked up to the long mirror on the wall and looked at my appearance. My top and pants had holes scattered everywhere and the mask I borrowed of Harley was melted quite a bit. And my skin, I swear if I put on red lipstick and dyed my hair green you could possibly mistaken me for Jack. Hmm, Jack. I wonder where he is right now, what he's thinking? I'm sure he's in his office, thinking the exact same thing as me, that god damn kiss. Or maybe he's thinking about who's life he's gonna ruin tomorrow. I don't know. Right now I just wanna sleep. I need it.

It's been nearly a week since the Two-Face incident, and Jack hasn't said a word to me since. Heck I don't even think he's left his office. At the moment I was just lying on my bed staring at the roof. I hadn't left my room much either, and didn't talk to anyone else. Not Harley, not Aston, no one. The thought of going to see him had run through my mind a few times, well, few is a bit of an understatement. I felt my stomach grumble a bit, and decided I wanted something to eat. I got off my bed and made my way downstairs. When I got to the kitchen I went straight to the fridge and pulled out an orange. It only took me a few minutes to eat it all, and once I was finished I went back up to my room. The warehouse was kinda quite. Before I opened my door I noticed a note stuck to it. It read: hey doll. Sorry I haven't spoken to you in a while, I've been...busy. I'd like to see you in my office for a bit. -J . I felt a little uneasy about this, I don't know. I walked back down the stairs and down the hallway until I reached the familiar door with 'HA HA HA' written on it. I slowly raised my hand, pushed open the door, and entered. Jack was sitting at his desk, looking up at me. I guess he's been expecting me. I took a breath and walked over to him. Why am I so nervous? I walked up to the desk and placed both my hands on it, leaning on them. He didn't say anything, just stared at me blankly. "I never expected the famous Joker to be afraid of a girl." I smirked, breaking the silence. He laughed creepily a bit, i gotta admit I've learnt to love that laugh.

"I... am not afraid of you." He said coldly. But as soon as he said that, regret appeared in his eyes. "Oh really, then how come you've been avoiding me?" I asked, sitting my elbows on the desk and resting my head in my hands. He leaned over the desk so our faces were inches away. "I told you doll, I've been busy. But the whole time I... I couldn't get you off my mind." He smiled, leaning back into his leather chair. I wanted to ask him so badly if he regretted kissing me, or if he would even do it again. Would I do it again? It was strange to me, when we kissed. I've never been kissed before. I mean yea my parents would kiss me, but I've never been kissed that way before. "You know Jack, you're a thief." I smirked, standing back up straight again. "Ah come on doll, I thought you knew by now that I-" "You stole my first kiss." I said softly, a proud look on his face formed. He raised his hand and beckoned me over to him. I walked around the desk and stood next to him. He patted his leg, signalling me to sit. I did so, and he grabbed my hand and wrapped my arm around his neck. He leaned closer to me and kissed me on the forehead. "Well then Angel, I'm glad it was me." He whispered, then continued kissing the same spot. Maybe I thought wrong about him. Maybe, he actually does care about me. Maybe.

~Joker's POV~
I continued kissing Maddie on the forehead for a bit, enjoying it more every time I did. I could tell she was smiling, and hopefully enjoying it as much as I was. I care about her, a lot, and I will do whatever it takes for her to be safe and happy. Even if it kills me. But we all know, I am immortal. Because, I am the Joker, and nothing or no one can kill me. I stopped kissing Maddie and wrapped my arms around her waist, pulling her closer to me. I felt her hesitate at first, but she eventually wrapped her arms around my neck. Her skin is so soft and so warm, but her lips are even softer. I don't regret kissing her back. Not. One. Bit. But something hasn't left my mind, the chemicals. How did she not die? They only way her body could have recovered from the chemicals that quick is if... she'd done it before. Unless it was by rare chance she survived her first fall, which I slightly doubt. I knew her skin was pale before, but I just thought that was natural. And her hair, I thought she must have dyed it. But maybe that wasn't the first time she'd been to Ace Chemicals. I had to know. "Maddie." "Hmm." "Last week, at Ace Chemicals, was that your first time there?" As soon as I asked that she pulled away. Maybe there's more to this than I thought. "Um...well..."
