Goodnight Gotham.

Chapter Fifteen.

"I know that my room is nothing fancy but it will serve its purpose. I am going to wash up. Make yourself comfortable." You then awkwardly realized that he was still wearing his suit and didn't have a change of clothes. "I might have something. Give me a second." You rummaged  through your drawers until you found a pair of grey sweat pants. You've been meaning to return them because they were far too big for you but you were happy that you haven't had a chance to yet. "These will do and if it helps any, I think they'll look pretty snazzy on you." You threw them to him. "Thank you love. If you'd rather I can sleep on the couch instead. I don't want to make you feel uncomfortable." "No worries. I'll be right back."

You made your way to the bathroom. You hated to admit it but you were...nervous? What if Jervis was expecting sex? You were a grown woman and could of course say no but you were worried that you were sending him mixed signals. Letting him sleep with you but saying no to sex? Especially since it would be your first time, the though of what could happen made you afraid. You tried to not let it concern you as you reached the sink. You brushed your teeth and carried out your typical skin care routine, and put on comfortable clothes. After that you went back to your room.

You opened the door and were greeted with the sight of Jervis laying down at the left side of the bed, closest to the window. You signed and laid down facing him. "Tonight was magical. Thank you for making it one to remember." In response he kissed your forehead and said "It's what you deserve my dear." He then traced your jawline with his pointer finger and looked at you in amazement. "My god, you are stunning." You could see the lust in his eyes. He pulled you close and started kissing you. You knew where this was headed. You had to tell him. "Jervis wait." He looked at you attentively and stopped. "If this is headed where I think it's headed I'm not ready. I'm really hesitant about it. Don't get me wrong, I love you but I'm just not up for it right now." He nodded and said "Of course. I completely understand. I want you to be comfortable about it. Let me know when you are ready. I don't care how long it takes. I want it to be something beautiful for us, not awkward or forced out of obligation. I love you. We should get some rest" He looked down at you and said "No worries, okay?" He put his arms around you and rested his head on top of yours. You kissed his cheek and whispered "Goodnight my love."
