In Too Deep

6

To be quite honest with you I can't tell if it's simple curiosity or if it's something else. Something drawing me closer down here. Whatever it is it's too late to go back now. Now I have to face my demons. Well, at least one of them.

"Oh Ms. Quinzel" I hear a certain male voice sing which causes me to stop in my tracks.

"Yes you. Come back here" I let out a breath and turn around. I see his tall figure standing behind his glass wall.

I walk slowly towards it and stop right in front of him.

"What are you doing here?" he asks and I look around the hallway. There are plenty of cameras decorated at the top corners of each turn.

"Lost my way. Must've taken a wrong-" he holds up his hand.

"Don't lie to me blue eyes. Tell me what you're doing here" I look up at the sudden use of a nickname.

"Curiosity" I answer and he smirks.

"Curiosity killed the cat Ms. Quinzel" I join my hands behind my back.

"Well it's a good thing this cat still has nine lives left isn't it?" he nods and leans against the wall.

I smooth out my black pencil skirt. I look up at him to see his eyes taking over my legs and taking in my revealing top. I bite my lip.

"Why is your door pexi glass while many of the others have bars on them like prison cells?" he leans his back against the concrete.

"I'm a risk to people around me. As are many other nut cases here" He looks down out into the hall.

A few other cells have pexi glass just like his.

"Were you always behind this glass?" I ask him as I glide my fingertips over the smooth surface.

"No. I used to be in a regular cell. I've tried escaping too many times and I've hurt too many people. So they locked me up in here. You can only access it with a code. A code that only security has" I look over the wall next to the glass. A keypad hangs on the wall.

"Why are you in here?" I ask him and he smiles.

"Wouldn't you like to know" he stands up to face me.

"You look familiar.." he trails off and glides his fingers across the glass.

His eyes travel down my figure and I can feel my heart quickening. My palms begin to get sweaty for some reason and I swallow thickly.

"Familiar in what sense Mr. Joker" I ask mustering the most respectful tone i can.

"Is that your natural hair colour?" I tuck the dark strand behind my ear and nod.

"Always has been" I tell him and adjust my glasses.

"You should get eye contacts" he says to me and I shrug.

"Makes me look more sophisticated" he smiles and holds his hands behind his back.

"Sophistication is all in the amount of confidence you have Ms. Quinzel" I smirk and hold my hands behind my back.

"Is that right Mr. Joker?" he smirks and crosses his arms together.

"Would it be too forward of me to say that you look drop dead gorgeous in your outfit today?" I roll my eyes and shake my head.

"Charming as ever" I taunt and he shrugs.

"What can I say. I love a woman who knows how to dress for her figure" he shrugs.

"Tell me Joker, how exactly is it that I dress for my figure?" I ask him knowing this is a risky move on my part.

"The skirt you have on is tight. Showing off your delicious curves beneath the fabric. Your shirt isn't buttoned all the way off giving the girls a good view as they nearly pop out of their confinement. And the heels make you look taller, making everything else look ten times better. Your hair is tied back, letting your face be the centre of attraction. The only problem is those damn glasses of yours" he says and I breathe in deeply.

I take them of and hold them in my palm.

"Much better. Now I can see those eyes of yours Ms. Quinzel" he mumbles and I tuck a strand behind my ear.

"I-"

"Dr. Quinzel there you are" quickly I place the glasses back on my face and look at Ms. Peabody as she comes towards me.

"I must have gotten lost on my way to your sit in. Sorry about that" I chuckle and she nods.

"It's alright. Follow me" I nod and begin rowan behind her.

"Bye doctor" Jack says and sends a wink my way.

Is it wrong if I smiled and waved goodbye?
