Married To The Clown

Chapter Forty Three 'First Dance'

A/n
Hey guys was just wondering if you still wanted smut in my story?
Also sorry for not updating the days have been going so fast and I didn't even realise my loves 💜

Athena's POV
"Ladies and gentleman it's time for the bride and groom to have their first dance!" The DJ called making the whole room gasp and squeal with pleasure.
This had always been my favourite part of any wedding even my own.
The first dance, it was so romantic and as you danced around the room gazing into the eyes of the person you loved well there was no greater feeling.
A big smile graced my face as I watched the couple begin to dance.
Ashley looked so radiant and beautiful, marriage defiantly suited her and I knew it wouldn't be long until she was pregnant.

My mood suddenly soured as I felt a dark cloud come above me. My skin prickled up and the urge to run was clawing at me. The feeling was something I would never get used to.
It meant that he was close and about to pounce.
No amount of alcohol would help my situation so I waited patiently for the devil to grace with his presence and it didn't take long.

"Athena!" He chirped coming to stand beside me, a big grin on his face.

"What can I do for you Joker?" I sighed trying to keep my temper in check.
"Aaaapologies for Aella, she's never been good at making friends" he chuckled like he had just cracked the best joke.
"Oh no need to apologise Aella seems like a lovely woman, can't say much about her company though" I exclaimed placing a fake smile on my face.
"That woman is far from lovely! You'd be very surprised dollface" he purred tapping my nose.
"No I don't think surprised is the word for it funny man, she works for you! That's obviously an indication that there's something not so 'nice' about her but besides that she seems great. I mean she did shoot you and that made me very very happy" I giggled with sarcasm making him growl and turn his attention to the dance floor.

"Not much of a sight is it? They dance like penguins" Joker spoke after a few moments pointing towards the happy couple.
"It's not about how they dance, it's the romance! The way they hold onto each other and how their eyes remain locked in love" I explained as he scoffed at me.
"How about weeee show them how it's done?" He asked holding his hand out for me.
"What?" I frowned looking at him like he had grew a thousand heads.
"Will you dance with me dollface?" He smiled continuing to hold his hand out.
"I'd rather have my limbs painfully removed and set on fire" I bite out looking at him in disgust.
"That can be arranged but for now...move!" He ordered grabbing my wrist and dragging me onto the dance floor.

Not wanting to cause a scene I reluctantly let him take me but in no way did I want to dance with this maniac.
Reaching the floor he wrapped one arm around my waist and pulled me to him as he placed his other hand in mine and rested it gently on his chest.
"Do we have to be so close?" I whined trying to create some distance but failing epically.
"This is how you're supposed to dance doll!" He pouted rolling his eyes.
"I'd rather not dance at all!" I snapped quietly.
"Athena?"
"Yeah"
"Shut that hole in your face ahahahaaaaaaa!"
"Dick!"

We awkwardly danced in silence for a few minutes, me hating every second and him thinking it was the best thing in the world.
"What a circus?!" Joker exclaimed suddenly.
"What?" I frowned.
"This wedding is a circus! Ours was much more.....pppperfect" he dragged out in a low purr.
"It's a shame our marriage wasn't" I smiled sarcastically.
"Why so negative wife?" He grumbled like a child.
"You lost the right to call me wife a long ago Joker!" I sneered digging my nails into his chest.
"You're looking very beautiful tonight my darling!" He pointed out ignoring my statement.
"Save the compliments for your 'queen'! They don't work on me, speaking of which where is she? She wasn't at the wedding and hasn't turned up to the party" I questioned, curiosity reaching its peek.

"Why so curious dear wife, jealous?"

"Nope not in the slightest just asking" I shrugged as our dance came to a stop but his grip on me only tightened.
I would be lying if I said my heart wasn't fluttering madly.

"Harley is a bit tied up at the moment ahahahahahaaaaaaaaaa!" Joker cackled with an evil glint in his eyes making my whole body become rigid.
"What do you mean?" I whispered feeling dread come over me.
"When my things misbehave they have to be punished! You know that better than anyone! Silly questions annoy me girl so I'd tread careful with the next words you speak" he suddenly growled looking like he could reach into my body and rip my insides out.
"What did you do her?" I whimpered suddenly finding myself full of pity for the woman.
He was a cold blooded monster!

Bending down he placed a gentle kiss on my ear.
"You already know what I did otherwise you wouldn't be trembling" he whispered squeezing my waist with both hands.
"Y...y..you make me sick" I stuttered pressing against his chest.
"And yet your heart still beats for me! I may be The Joker dollface but I'm no fool" he exclaimed bringing his lips closer to mine.
"No I hate you!" I sobbed involuntarily.
"If you hate me so much why are you still holding onto me love?" He smirked and I gasped in shock as I realised he had let go of me but yet I still had my hands wrapped up in his suit.

Letting go as if I had touched fire I shot him a look of disgust and turned away from him.
Tears streamed down my face and all I wanted was to get out of here.
"Oh and Athena?!" I heard him call out making me turn back to glare at him.
"I'll see you soon!"

"No you won't!" I snapped before continuing to walk away.

As I walked towards the exit I saw Chris stood on his own resting against the door.
"Chris!" I called out running towards him.
"Athe...." I didn't let him finish instead I slammed our lips together and held onto him for dear life.

Pulling back I looked at him breathlessly.
"I don't understand?" He frowned.
"I'll help you! I'll help you take him down!" I announced kissing him once more.
