Downpour

It was a quite passive afternoon as I found myself walking towards the grocery store where I'm gonna buy vegetables from. Things have been easy quite recently, less trouble, and more time for me to just settle down and enjoy.

Or so I thought.

A rainy afternoon, or so I may say. The clouds doesn't look too good, indicating of a heavy downpour soon.

I was almost the grocery now when suddenly a familiar figure caught my eye. It was someone I know for sure but I'm having a hard time processing who this person could be. I stepped inside the entrance to take a closer look and found Bruce Wayne holding what seemed like a basket and bag in his hands.

Hera, the fates have been kind to me today

I want to take him by surprise by sneaking up from behind and see his flustered reaction. Slowly, I tiptoed at the heels of my feet; inches by inches I took steps towards him and when I finally reached him...

"Hello Diana"

And of course..

He saw it coming

Well what do you expect from the Batman himself?

"Hi Bruce, I thought I might surprise you but it didn't work, yet again" I greeted

He looked at my bags as his eyes shifted back towards my gaze

"Going shopping?"

"Yeah, yourself?" I asked

"Alfred usually does all the grocery but he's out for vacation at the moment"

Upon listening to him, a playful smile forms in my lips with mischief dancing on my thoughts

"Alfred does vacations? I thought you had the poor guy cramped up in that Manor for eternity" I jested casually

"Oh how dare you." Bruce replied sarcastically as he went on his way

I followed him discreetly since he might know a thing or two about vegetables and such, and of course..

to spend some alone time with him.

I walked up beside him while shifting the rhythm of my footsteps to match his. It was awfully quiet and awkward, I need to break the ice somehow.

"So, did you come here alone?" I asked

"Pretty much, I'm pretty much always alone especially when Alfred is not around"

"Hmm, who are you fooling Bruce Wayne? You are literally brooding with Women every time you appear in public" I provoked casually

"Those women don't mean anything to me in the long run. They are only after one thing and I know that for certain" he replied sternly

Intrigue rushed to me, I didn't expect Bruce to be this defensive over my feeble teasing. But his answer wasn't that bad actually. I would've lost my cool if he responded differently with the way he treats those women. He can be a cocky arrogant brat sometimes

"So, all of them are just for show?" I asked curiously

"Damn right." He responded in a quick manner

"Why are you asking me this, Diana. You already know the answer to that question"

"Oh... of course... yeah" I whispered coyly under my breath

We reached the cereal section as he went to the stalls. The alluring colors of the boxes caught my eye and it was very amusing how they are stacked up like a Rubik's cube
