"I really like this park. It's pretty."
Jerome rolled his eyes. He playfully slapped her arm.
"You're being too girlie right now."
Mercedes turned to Jerome with a shocked expression.
"Excuse me?"
Jerome rolled his head back laughing. They were sitting on a park bench.
"I'm kidding. It is a nice park."
Mercedes leaned her head on his shoulder. Jerome smiled.
"What do you want for dinner? Hungry?"
Mercedes sighed a little tired.
"I'm not sure."
Jerome patted her on the leg.
"Eh that's okay. Come on. We can walk around and see if we find something interesting."
They walked underneath the streetlights on the way back to their hotel. Jerome shook his head slowly. He didn't know Mercedes was watching his trance. She gently nudged him in arm with her elbow.
"What's up handsome?"
Jerome chuckled. He turned to Mercedes and stopped walking.
"Shouldn't I be on the FBI top most wanted list across the country?"
Mercedes laughed loudly. She couldn't contain her laughter.
"Jerome you're so obsessed with Gotham that they don't think you will ever leave so no you aren't on that list. What other city are you going to terrorize?"
He nodded.
"I mean.. good point. It's just weird not having everyone scared the second they look at me."
Mercedes smiled lovingly. She placed her hand on Jerome's cheek.
"Not everyone is judgmental. Stop worrying about stuff. Just be here in the moment with me. Everything is fine."
Jerome leaned in and pecked her lips. Mercedes gasped.
"I almost forgot! I have a surprised for you when we get back home!"
Jerome raised his eyebrow in curiosity. Mercedes shook her head.
"Oh, no! We aren't home. I'm not telling."
Jerome playfully gasped offended.
"That's not fair!"
Mercedes giggled and pulled him down the street. The finally made it back to the hotel. Jerome closed the door behind him.
"So are you going to tell me what my gran surprise is?"
Mercedes turned to Jerome. He had a wicked grin Mercedes found very sexy. She shook her head no.
"You have to wait."
Jerome rolled his eyes. He smirked.
"Can I at least get an encore from your earlier performance?"
Mercedes tilted her head. She stood there slightly amused.
"You want me to sing for you..?"
Jerome gave her a genuine loving smile. He nodded. He set on the edge of the bed.
"Actually, I really would love for you to."
His smile made her melt. She smiled back. She searched her brain for the perfect song.
"Okay. I have one. This is really an anti-homophobia song, which I love, but I think it also describes me and you."
Jerome narrowed his eyes confused.
"That's an interesting combination.."
Mercedes raised her eyebrow.
"Do you want me to sing for you or not buddy?"
Jerome laughed maniacally. Mercedes pulled out her phone to play the piano background music.
"I do this song a little slower than it is originally."
Jerome instantly perked up and grinned wickedly from ear to ear when he started to hear the words. He felt she had the voice of an angel.
My lover's got humor
He's the giggle at a funeral
Knows everybody's disapproval
I should've worshiped him soonerIf the heavens ever did speak
He's the last true mouthpiece
Every Sunday's getting more bleak
A fresh poison each week
"We were born sick, " heard them say itMy Church offers no absolutes
He tells me, "Worship in the bedroom"
The only heaven I'll be sent to
Is when I'm alone with youI was born sick
But I love it
Command me to be well
A-Amen
Amen
AmenTake me to church
I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife
Offer me that deathless death
Good God, let me give you my lifeTake me to church
I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife
Offer me that deathless death
Good God, let me give you my lifeIf I'm a pagan of the good times
My lover's the sunlight
To keep the Goddess in my sight
She demands a sacrificeTo drain the whole sea
Get something shiny
Something meaty for the main course
That's a fine looking high horse
What you got in the stable?
We've a lot of starving faithfulThat looks tasty
That looks plenty
This is hungry workTake me to church
I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife
Offer me that deathless death
Good God, let me give you my lifeTake me to church
I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife
Offer me that deathless death
Good God, let me give you my lifeNo Masters or Kings
When the ritual begins
There is no sweeter innocence than our gentle sinsIn the madness and soil of that sad and earthly scene
Only then I am human
Only then I am clean
A-Amen
Amen
AmenTake me to church
I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife
Offer me that deathless death
Good God, let me give you my lifeTake me to church
I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife
Offer me that deathless death
Good God, let me give you my life
Jerome slowly clapped his hands. Mercedes smiled.
"Wow doll face.. you really my favorite singer. Truly. I love when you sing. Thank you for that. It was seriously beautiful."
Mercedes blushed deep red.
"Thank you..."
Jerome's eye widened. He stood up from his the bed and slowly walked over to her.
"Uh-oh. I don't think I've made you blush like that in years."
Mercedes playfully hit him on the chest.
"Yeah well... you're just being.. extra cute today I guess.."
She turned around and walked onto the balcony.
"You guess?"
She came back in laughing. She started to get undressed. Jerome stood still slightly shocked.
"I need a shower. I'll be back."
Mercedes smirked at Jerome as she walked into the bathroom. He wasn't sure if he should take that as a sign to join her if she was just messing with him. Mercedes closed her eyes under the warm water. She smiled when she heard the TV turn on in the bedroom. It didn't matter what else was going on. She was just happy they were together and hanging out.
