In Too Deep

35

"Why can't I go with you?" I ask Jack as I watch him get ready from the bed. He's in the washroom at the moment, painting a fresh face of theatrical makeup over himself. He uses the special make up theatrical people wear, more oil in the paint allows for a longer stay.

"Because pumpkin, I don't expect anyone but me to survive this raid" I lean my arms against the wooden barrier at the foot of the bed. The sheets sit loosely over my figure.

"How long will you be gone?" I ask as I drag my fingernails across the surface.

"Couple of hours. Don't miss me too much" he finishes off and walks towards me. He's in a deep grey suit with his hair pushed back. It's not the nicest suit i've seen and I take it it's his "work" suit.

He stands in front of me and I sit up on my knees. The blanket falls and pools on my thighs. I'm bare beneath his stare. His eyes focus on the tattoo right above my heart.

His fingers outline it and his eyes full with an emotion I can't quite put my finger on.

I tighten his tie a bit and look up at him.

"Be safe" i whisper against his mouth and his eyes are hooded as they look down on me. His hands are covered in leather gloves and I shiver as they touch me. He holds onto my waist and brings me closer to him.

"Trust me baby. It's a fool proof plan" his lips move against mine and I hold his face to mine with both hands. He pulls away from my touch and our mouths skim each other's. My eyes take in his features, his eyes are filled with lust but he has no time to satisfy his needs. His mouth is a pale pink.

"When I come back I'll show you the perks of being in love with a criminal" I smile and he plants a kiss at the corner of my mouth before leaving. His feet trudge down the metal steps quickly, they make sounds as they go.

I hold the sheets to me as I walk to the window, I open it and slide out to watch him go. I sit on the stairs and it worries me seeing him leave with only Frost in tow. I mean, it definitely takes more than two men to rob one of the biggest banks in Gotham.

I pull a cig into my mouth and light it up. Nothing wakes me up better than a morning smoke.

My mind wanders and I recall the events of last nights speech about the ultimatum that the Bat is going to have to face. I've never seen him in real life, just on tv.

Not to mention, Jack seems to either not want to acknowledge that him and Harv have a past or......it's something much deeper than that.

After I finish my smoke I get up from the stairs and make my way to the washroom. I take a long showers here I thoroughly wash my hair with shampoo and conditioner. I wish I had returned to my building to grab my things instead of Johnny doing it for me.

Since i'm not expecting any company for the rest of the day I decide to just grab a. clean pair of underwear and one of Jacks hoodies and throw it over myself. Its a bit short so I pair it with black cotton shorts. I grab some socks and head downstairs.

I walk down the steps and head straight into the kitchen. I begin making myself some coffee and then browse through the refrigerator for some breakfast. I find a carton of eggs, some ham and decide for an omelette.

I turn on the tv for some background noise so I don't feel entirely alone. I crack two eggs into a bowl and pour some salt and pepper into it. On a cutting board I slice up the ham and throw it into the bowl. I heat up the pan with oil and mix the contents of the bowl.

I sit down on the couch and look through the channels. There's not much so I settle for some cartoons. Few minutes pass me by and I walk back to the kitchen to pour my mixture into the hot pan.
