Fatal Attraction

Derrick

I stare at Galavan, watching him contemplate my plan and determine if it was even worth it. "So, you want to take Jerome, and kill your ex before he gets the chance to come near you?" I nod in agreement. "Sir, if he comes after me, which he will, he will kill me. If he does that I believe Jerome will be dead set on finding him and killing him himself. Which would leave Jerome distracted from your plans in the future. So you see , it can benefit both of us. Plus it also adds onto the terror of Gotham. What I see as a deadly threat, Gotham sees as an innocent civilian missing his soon to be fiance. They would see it as a cruel murder. As they probably assume that I am being held hostage by now. Until your plan at GCPD arrives. " I pause to let those words sink in. Watching his face as realizing that I am trying to manipulate the situation. "Alright. You can have your fun and finish off this fellow. But be sure Jerome doesn't go too far." Galavan agrees. I laugh. " Yes sir. Although I would think killing him would be too far in the civilian world. " He just chuckles at my statement and sends me off.

I walk outside and stare at Jerome. "Why didn't you come in? You know he wanted you in there with me." Jerome just stood there. Thinking. "Just didn't feel like it. Wanted to listen to your conversation from out here. Since I would be doing that if I had come in anyways. Remember this is your plan. Wanted my kitten to face the big boss on her own. " Jerome states. I groan and walk away, heading back to my room. I hear Jerome follow closely behind, laughing lightly. My guess, imagining what he would do to Derrick when he gets to him. I get to my room and close the door after Jerome follows me in. "Jerome, what exactly are you thinking on doing to him?" He looks at me, playfully. "How about we see where it goes, first we gotta get him isolated somewhere. " He said. "Jerome. How are we supposed to find him?" I asked. I was never too good at finding people or where to start. "Easy, how about you call him. Tell him to meet you somewhere or something.". I stood there for a moment. "I would, but in case you don't remember, I destroyed my phone. " I said, getting a little agitated. "That's why I got this new phone for you. Duh. So how about you give Mr. Wonderful a call." Jerome says, handing my a little flip phone. I take it from his hand, feeling his skin in the process. I open the phone and dial Derrick's number. I put the phone to my ear, all while staring at Jerome, waiting for him to answer. Then I hear someone pick up. "Hello?" He questions. "Hey.. Babe. It's me. I thought you were right. I wanna go home... With you. No one's treated me the way you do. I wanna make all this trouble up to you. After we bury mommy, of course." I strain on every little word. Killing myself for calling him babe. "Can you come get me?" I ask him. The phone falls silent for a moment. "I knew you would come to your senses. Where do you want me to pick you up at? That little club house you guys house out at? " He asks. " No, I actually got them to let me go to the shop down the street, if you would get me from there. In maybe, 10 minutes? I have to pick up some things inside. I'm headed there now. I didn't want them to stop me from leaving. I just know Jerome would try to kill us both if he saw me leaving with you." I say, trying to sound convincing. He finally agreed. And told him he'd be on his way in 20. Just to give me some extra time. I hung up the phone and stared at Jerome. "Well, was that good enough for you?" I asked. Jerome just laughed. "You're getting very convincing, Kitten. If I didn't know any better, I'd think you were actually unhappy here." Jerome says. I walk up to him, leaving only a couple centimeters between us. "Of course, I mean, who would want a hot psycho following them around and teasing them all day? It's just so... I don't know... Scary? Creepy? I can't think of good enough word for it." I say drawing closer to him. I lay my arms on his shoulders. Smiling as I watch him soak in every word. "Kitten, that's kinda hurtful. Not very nice." I could see he actually took offense to some of my words. I pull him forward, making our eyes level with each other and our lips inches from each other. "What you gonna do? Punish me?" I ask in a teasing way. I couldn't help myself anymore. The look on his face when I called Derrick babe, was so sexy, he was mad at the nickname. Because it wasn't towards him. "You wanna punish your little kitten?" I push more. I feel his grip on my hips, tightening with every breath I take. Like a constrictor. He pushes me onto the wall, lifting me up for me to wrap my legs around his waist. He begins to push his lower region into my own, leaving barely any space between our chests.

       Jerome brings his head down to my neck, and starts to slowly kiss it, leaving small love bites along the way.  I moan in acceptance awaiting more, but it doesn't come. I look at Jerome and notice him just looking straight at me.  With the pure look of frustration left on his face. "Jerome? What's wrong?" No response. Just silence. "Hey, you know I only said those things to rile you up, right? I do actually like it here. " I tried to reassure, assuming that was the problem. He let me down, not dropping me in the process.  I was confused about why he wasn't talking to me all of a sudden and why he said stopped.   "It's time to go." He plainly states.  We make it to the car and drive down the road. I glanced over at Jerome, thinking I did something wrong, and get more irritated. We stop a block from the shop. "Walk the rest, he can't see me dropping you off at the store. " He says in a rough tone.

      I open the door and get out, shutting the door a little harder than intended.  I began to walk to the store, not looking back, figuring it would make me grow even more irritated than before. I step in front of the shop and go inside. What do I get? Snacks? Toiletries? I didn't really need anything. So I grabbed a couple snacks to make it look like I was ready for a long drive and a pack of pads. After finish with check out, I wait outside for Derrick, trying to remember what his car looked like. But then a car stupid in front of me, with a rolled down window. It was him. The man I have grown to hate. The man I believed to be paralyzed, was healthy and still moving around. I start to yell at myself internally for not doing it right the first time.  "Get in, Darlin'." Derrick says, adding sarcasm and a little bit of hate in his nickname. I open the car door and sit the passenger seat, closing the door as I put on my seatbelt. "Where are we heading, Erin?" He questions. I look at him for a moment. Crap I didn't think of a place to go. "Home, like I said on the phone. " I respond, plainly. 

   Derrick takes off, heading to my hometown. I revel in fear and hatred for the situation. I just wanted to get it over with and be free. We drive for his, not really speaking, just catching glances from one another, hoping he doesn't realize the car that's following us. We're just down the street from my house, and my hands begin to shake from the adrenaline. Derrick notices and takes his hand and puts it over mine. I know he's just acting nice because he thinks he's going to get what he wants. Probably thinking to kill me afterwards because of mother.  We arrive at the house and I step outside the car as soon as he parks it, staying blankly at my small estate that I had just escaped from. "Let's go, Erin." He said. I follow behind him into the house, glancing behind me to see if Jerome was near by. But I didn't see him, I grow nervous, thinking he left me on my own because he was still mad at me for something I said or did. I continue walking behind him, noticing that he's leading me to the bedroom. I knew what he was going to do right off the bat. And my great intensified. I don't want to do it. And with not seeing Jerome near by, I'm afraid I don't have a choice.

I'm so sorry for the super late update. I was in the hospital and had a baby. So I've been super busy. But I finally got alright enough to update. I also tried a fanfiction for IT (Pennywise) , so please, read it and tell me what you think of the first chapter. If no one likes it, then I won't continue it and focus more on this story. One more thing, I have been reading through my chapters and noticed allot of errors. I will be going back and editing here and there.
