Come Break Me Down

Chapter 10

"Uh, wow, I had no idea you were doing this so soon. Why didn't you tell me?" I looked at him, desperately trying not to laugh, but the green hair was so bright, it looked like it would glow in the dark.

"Where have you been?" He responded to my question with a question of his own and I could tell by the look on his face, he wasn't in the mood for jokes.

"I went to get some food. I'm sorry, I wasn't laughing about your missing eyebrows, but baby, that hair is bright as hell."

He stood up and moved closer. The change was drastic, but I was relieved it wasn't like last time when he put his health on the line by losing so much weight. "It's only for a while, you'll get used to it."

I had no idea he was immediately having this done. I mean, I knew it was coming and he told me what to expect, but hearing about it and seeing it were two very different things. "I'm sure I will. Babe, you look exhausted, why don't you come get some food and then lay down to sleep for a while."

He kissed my forehead. "Yeah, I'm starving." Following him, I bent down to pick up the clothes he took off earlier and tossed them in the laundry basket on the way out of the bedroom.

There wasn't much conversation while we ate and it was hard to keep a straight face when he looked like that. He dropped his fork and glared at me from across the table. "Alright, let's do this. You have exactly 30 seconds to say exactly what you want before I really get mad."

"30 seconds, how ironic you should pick that number." I frowned, "Baby, I'm not going to say anything, I'm sure in a few days, I won't even notice it."

After we both picked at our food, we climbed into bed. Lying next to him, I could hear that he was finally asleep. We only had a week together before he had to leave to start filming. Snuggling closer, I finally fell asleep.

The following day things were just weird. Between him trying to disguise himself before we left the house and telling me not to stare at him, he was driving me crazy.

Everything about him changed while preparing for this role. He was more bossy and demanding. I wanted to see him in his full on Joker costume, but he told me it wouldn't happen.

We had a quiet week at home and I still hadn't adjusted to the green hair the day he was set to leave. I knew his flight was in the afternoon, so I woke him early, asking what he wanted for breakfast.
He leaned over and pulled me to him. "I want you to make me some pancakes, but I want you to do it naked. Then I want you to amuse me while I eat and after that...." He smirked. "After that I suggest you do as I ask."

This was the joker talking, not Jared. I stood taking my clothes off and walked to the kitchen. Well, challenge accepted. He smacked my ass hard before hopping up to sit on the countertop. "God, I'm so going to destroy you after I eat." He laughed, watching my every move.

"Can you get me a glass of juice?" He asked, purposely making me walk in front of him to get the glass." He made me lean forward, our chests touched and he stared at me intensely.

I knew that he was going to be very rough when he finally got his hands on me, just by the look on his face. Backing away, I stepped over to the refrigerator and filled the glass. Smiling all the way over to him, I handed him the juice. "Here you go."

"Thank you," he smirked as he put it down next to him. I was mixing the pancake batter when he jumped down, sliding his arms around my waist. The way he touched me, left me wondering if these pancakes would even get made.
