Haylee Quinn

Chapter Twenty Four - Perfect Date

I stepped outside and my jaw dropped in awe. There's a picnic mat set perfectly on the grass, surrounded by multiple candles. Fairy lights hanging from a few nearby trees, and a swing I had never noticed before hanging from one of the branches.

"What do ya think?" I jumped in surprise and turned to look at J.

Damn, he knows how to clean up. He has a black tux on and small flower in his pocket, shiny black dress shoes, and his hair slicked back nicely. Who knew Joker would dress up so fancy?

"It's beautiful, I love it." I smiled as I turned back to look at the garden.

"You look absolutely gorgeous princess." I could feel his breath on the back of my neck as he spoke softly.

"You don't look too bad yourself." I turned to face him and wrapped my arms around his neck.

J smiled down at me, then pressed his lips on mine. He then snaked his hands down to my thighs and lifted me up, I wrapped my legs around his waist and smirked under the kiss. We both pulled away and rested our foreheads against each other's, our eyes closed and both smiling.

"Come on, Jonny will be out with the food soon." He whispered as he carefully let my feet touch the ground.

As he wrapped his arm around my waist we walked over to the mat and sat down. The silence of the night with the quiet songs from the crickets makes this all the more better. I looked up at the star filled sky and the Cheshire smile moon, making it better again.

"Here you go boss, miss Quinn." Jonny said as he placed the basket in front of us.

J nodded, then Jonny turned and left us. I opened the basket and pulled us both out a really nice looking salad, and further in the basket I can see a really delicious looking dessert. Ooo, yummy.

"Ya know J, when you asked me on a date I thought you meant some sort of chaos related activity. But I love this a lot more." I said before I started eating my dinner.

"I knew you would enjoy this more. And besides, you deserve a proper date." J smirked as he pulled a bottle of wine and two glasses out of the basket.

Damn, he really is prepared huh. With a loud pop J opened the wine and poured us both a glass. As if we were making a toast, we held up our glasses and clinked them together.

"As you can probably tell I'm no professional at the whole 'romantic' thing, so I need to know how I'm doing." J leaned over and loudly whispered as I took a mouth full of wine, almost making me spit it out from me laughing.

"I think you're doing an amazing job, I love it." I smiled back, resting my head on his shoulder.

J wrapped one hand around my waist and his other hand occupied with the fork holding his food. Before putting said food in his mouth he planted a kiss on my cheek, making me blush under my makeup.

After eventually finished our dinner and half the bottle of wine we laid on the picnic mat staring up at the stars, well at I was looking at the stars, J was was staring at me the whole time. It made me blush even harder, though I'm not sure if he noticed or not.

"What was your favourite thing about her?" I asked him to break the silence, referring to Harley.

"Hmm? Oh I don't know, I loved a lot of things about her. I loved the way she'd always make me smile when I was pissed, and her laugh was cute, and her sparkling blue eyes. But the weird thing is, even though you two are twins, I love everything about you more."

I felt a single tear role down my cheek. I miss her so much, I wish she was still here. But then... I wouldn't be here right now, I wouldn't be with J. I would probably be bored out of my mind at home, or possibly closing up that stupid cafe I used to work at.

"Princess, are you okay?" J asked as he turned slightly to his side.

"I just... I replaced Harley, for everyone. For Selina, for Ivy and especially you. That's all I am now, a replacement. You probably don't even think of me as me, you probably just imagine that I'm Harley." I felt another tear role down my cheek as I loosen my grip slightly on his hand.

"Haylee listen to me." J ordered as he sat up, pulling me up as well.

"None of what you said is true. Okay, admittedly when I first brought you here you were just a replacement. But now I can promise you that you're not. I love you Hayleen Quinnzel, and I want you to know I've never said that to anyone else. Not even Harley."

Gripping onto my hand tighter J pulled me closer to him, so close that I could feel his breath on my skin. I believe what he's saying, I honestly do. I dropped my head and smiled, then look back at him and stared into his eyes.

"It's Haylee, remember." I said before pulling him into a passionate kiss.

"Really, that's all, you got out of that?" J asked between kisses.

I pushed him down and kissed him again, this time even more passionate. I rested my body on top of his as he wrapped his arms around me, listening to him moaning softly under the kiss. Honestly it made me giggle a bit.

I slowly ran my fingers through his hair until my arms were once again wrapped around his neck. I pulled away and rested my head on his chest, smiling sweetly with my eyes closed.

"You can do tattoos, right princess?" J asked out of now where.

I know Harley had done most of his tattoos, and she did an amazing job. I could try, but I definitely can't promise anything good like that. I was never the artsy one of the two of us.

"I guess I can try, why?"

"Because I want to get 'Haylee, will you be my girlfriend' tattooed right here." J explained, pointing to his right forearm.

I immediately sat up in shock, wondering if I had just heard him right. He looked up at me with a smirk, but also a pleading look in his eyes.

"You didn't have to ask, I thought I was already yours?" I chuckled as he slowly sat up.

"Princess, you've always been mine."
