The Dark Truth

Date Night: Chapter 15

flashback

I take one more look in the mirror as I finish getting ready. I'm in a royal blue and black corseted dress with long sleeves and a black heart choker. I also have black combat boots and fingerless gloves. I pull at my messy but cute bun and check my winged eye liner as I hear a knock on my window. I skip over to it to see j standing below throwing pebbles up. hes in a suit that fits him perfectly. I open the window and grab my leather bag and jump out to meet him. "took you long enough slow poke." j nudges me and I stick out my tongue. "I wanted to look good, this is the first date I've ever been on." I blush as I say the last part and he puts his arm around my shoulder, "one, you always look good and two I know. we have been best friends for nine years now I think I would've known if you were with anyone." I blush more and shrug his arm off my shoulder as we start heading to our destination. by the time we reach the restaurant were hand in hand. I look up at the most expensive place to eat in Gotham, sea-fine seafood. I've never been somewhere so fancy, would I be accepted? I hesitate and j looks back at me. "your scared, I understand, but you belong way above these assholes." J puts both hands on my cheeks as he speaks and I nod my head yes as I blush even more.

we walk inside where everything is gold and blue. Jack talks to the host with a bit of authority in his voice that ive never heard from him before. it catches my attention and I stare at him in awe. we walk to a back area that's dimly lit and sit at a two person table. J pulls out my seat for me and I smile and say a quick thank you. "welcome to sea-fine seafood, ill be your waitress. my name is veronica, what shall I get you two to drink?" I look up to see a tall thin girl with black curly hair. she's staring at j and he looks over at me, "wine?" I blush and nod my head yes as he looks back up at the waitress. she looks over at me and with a snotty voice says, "ill need to see your ID sweetheart." I look up at her in a bit of shock and j cuts in, "what about mine?" she smiles sweetly at him and puts her hand on his shoulder, "cute guys get a drink on the house." I feel my blood start to boil but j says something before I can, "look, if I get a free drink so does my friend, or should I let your boss know your giving underage guys drinks so they can fuck you in the back?" the waitress has a look of shock on her face and I'm looking at j in amazement. she straightens out her outfit and awkwardly coughs. "ill be back with your drinks in a minute." j looks back at me with a sweet smile on his face and I blush and giggle a bit. "you've changed so much since we were young. your so brave, so.." I trail off as I look into his bright blue eyes. my friend ive known for years has become a handsome young man. he takes my hands in his over the table and look at me with a big smile. "and you have become a gourgeous women with a big heart. i never want to be apart from you."

after an amazing dinner we walk hand in hand down the sidewalk. the streets are almost deserted but a car every so often and a homeless person here and there. we had no real idea of where we were going, but we didn't care. I lay my head on j's shoulder as we walk. "do you ever wish you could run away? be free and happy?" i feel him stop and look down at me so I look up at his tall frame. "as long as you were with me, id go anywhere." J puts his hand on my cheek and I look up into his eyes, then to his lips. I see him do the same. we both lean in slowly. I close my eyes as butterflies start forming in my stomach. being this close, all I can smell is his cologne, its mint and makes my head fuzzy. our lips touch and electricity goes through me, I feel like a million fireworks are going off. who knew kissing could be this amazing! his lips are soft and as I run my fingers through his soft hair I melt even more. it feels like centuries until we pull apart. my eyes flutter open to see j looking down at me as if im the only person in the universe. his hands have moved down to my hips as my hands are on his shoulders to keep myself upright. "wow." were both breathing a bit hard and we laugh lightly. "I never want to stop kissing your lips." j says softly as he pulls me closer. I look down shyly and bite my lip only to look back up at him and whisper, "then dont."

the night ended with a kiss and a silent promise. we promised to never be apart. and from then until two years later, we werent. we did everything together. maybe I was wrong, or maybe im on the right track. I did break our promise..I cling to the dress as silent tears fall. harley and selina have been long gone and now its just me on my bed remembering the one night I forgot that I probably shouldnt have. maybe im the monster in this situation. how could I forget a silent promise that ment so much to both of us. I have to see him tonight. I need to know as much as I can.
