Goodnight Gotham.

Chapter Fourteen.

"This is the cutest! I couldn't ask for a better first date. Thank you my love. It's everything that I wanted and more." You said as you walked towards the meticulously set table with your cluster of roses perfectly placed in the middle, a plate of pink frosted sugar cookies set to the side, and two white porcelain mugs filled to the brim with tea.

"The pleasure is all mine dearest. I am glad that I could turn this night around for you. I hate seeing you so troubled. That's what that envelope is for. Whenever you feel like you aren't good enough I want you to read it. I hand wrote the letter inside myself and I want you to know that every single word printed on it is nothing but the truth. I love you more than anything and you deserve to feel confident, beautiful, and deserving." With that wonderfully spoken sentiment your heart felt like it was about to explode. You loved this man so much that words couldn't even begin to explain in. "I don't know what to say, a simple I love you doesn't even express how I feel about you. I am so damn lucky just...thank you, for everything. These past couple of days since we've met have been extraordinary. I am sorry for rambling. Our tea is getting cold!" "You never have to apologize. You look really cute when you ramble." Both of you let out a giggle and started drinking your tea.

For the entirety of your date until the early hours of the morning you and Jervis talked, ate those delicious sugar cookies, drank tea, and enjoyed the quiet moments in between.

You glanced up at the clocked and noticed the time. "1:00 already? Time flies!" Jervis checked his watch, his eyes widening. "My my, your right little rabbit I should get going! This date was wonderful. I can't wait to see you again. I love you very much." He was about to walk out the door when you stopped him. "Wait!" He turned back to look at you. "Do you want to stay here and crash for the night? It's already very late. You can sleep with me if you want. I—not like that but you know what I mean." You started blushing horribly. "I will take you up on that offer" He smiled at you. You could tell that his intentions were pure so with that, both of you walked to your bedroom, closing the door behind you.
