A week has passed and no word from Katherine. Which kinda made Josette sad but Jerome on the other hand felt relieved.

It was 1am. The two were fast asleep, both cuddling each other. Josette moved a bit letting out a small tired sigh.

Jerome groaned as he heard the ringtone of his phone. The ginger was quick to answer in fear of waking up his sleeping girlfriend.

"What do you want?" He mumble into the phone.

"Sorry to wake you boss. But you were supposed to be here 4 hours ago. Remember you needed to meet up with some people out of Gotham?" Derick, his right hand man informed him on the other line.

Jerome rubbed his eyes. "Shit. Yeah I'll be right there." Jerome hung up and looked down at Josette. The light from the moonlight hitting her body perfectly as her face was relaxed against the pillow.

He didn't want to leave but how else was he supposed to make money. The ginger was supposed to go out of Gotham selling weapons, and possibly getting new recruits for his cult. That meant 2 months away from Gotham which also meant 2 months away from his beloved Josette.

The man got up from the bed putting on his clothes. Jerome slightly nudged Josette. She opened her eyes with a confused look on her face. "Baby I have to go." Jerome said quietly.

The brunette rubbed her eyes. "Okay I'll see you tomorrow."

Jerome's smile faded. "Here's the thing doll. I have to go out of Gotham for 'work'"

Josette sat up putting a shirt on, now she was awake. "What? How long will you be gone?"

She stood up her small figure in front of Jerome's tall figure. "2 months, but if everything goes good then 1 month." He answered cupping her face with his pale hand.

'Two months?' Josette thought. 'I could barley stand being away from him for three days.'

A pout formed on her lips. Jerome lifted her chin with his index finger making her look up at him. "Hey it's okay. The time is gonna go by like that."

"You don't have to go." She said truly sad to see him leave.

Jerome sighed and gave her a kiss on the forehead. "I love you. I'll call you every day. I promise."

Josette nodded her head with a frown and pulled him into a hug, catching his sent which smelt like cinnamon and cigarettes. Jerome chuckled. "Are you smelling me?" He asked and Josette gave a nod like a small child.

They both pulled away from the hug, Jerome held her face in her hands admiring her for a bit. "I love you." Josette said breaking the space between them giving him a gentle kiss. He returned the kiss with a smile creeping up on his face.
