Gotham: Contagious Laughter (Book 2)

Worried

(This chapter is from Lee's POV)

Lee's POV

I glanced over at Serena, who had fallen asleep on the couch half way through the movie. I smiled at her and put a blanket over her. I was happy she was finally warming up to me. She hadn't really talked to me after the whole Barbara incident. I don't know how Serena still likes Barbara, after seeing Barbara go crazy. I mean she watched Barbara almost kill me. I sighed at the thought. I suppose it was because they had a past together.

I heard Jim walk down the hallway and I stood up, careful not to wake Serena.

"Is she asleep?" He asked.

I nodded.

"Jim?" I asked.

"Yea?" He replied.

"I'm worried." I said, looking straight into his eyes.

"About what?" He asked, confused.

"Barbara. I'm worried she going to try to get Serena." 

Jim thought for a moment.

"She might try, but I'll make sure she doesn't harm you or Serena."  Jim reassured me, pulling me into a hug.

I pressed my lips gently against his as we kissed.

"Ready for bed?" I asked, as we pulled apart.

He yawned.

"Yes, I'm exhausted." He said with a laugh.

I laughed and we headed to bed.

Next morning....

(Serena's POV)

I woke up the next morning to the smell of bacon.  I sat up and walked into the kitchen.

Lee and Jim were in the kitchen cooking together.

"Hi?" I said confused.

"Oh hey Serena." Jim said.

I heard my phone buzz and I glanced down, it was a text from Bruce.

"You still coming over today?" He asked.

I grinned.

"Yea, I'll be over soon." I replied.

"Uncle Jim, I'm going to Bruce's house today." I said, and walked off to get ready.

"Okay, be careful walking there." He replied.

"I will!" I said.

I got changed into a simple blue blouse and white jeans. I pulled my hair into a braid and then headed out the door.
