You wore a beautiful, short dress that was very form fitting. It was navy blue and sparkly, nothing to out there but nothing to not look at. You had asked Oswald to help you plan a nice dinner and date night for you and Jim. For things these past months had been very strained. Your love life was not what it uses to be and you felt the once love filled embrace around y our heart from him, slowly slipping away. You where always the one to never give things up easy. You have Oswald drive you outside of the GCPD and surprise Jim. Little did you know things were going to go down south from here.
" Jim, are you very sure you can't make it tonight?"
" I'm sorry. I can't the department needs me. Besides it's not like we where going to do anything anyways, right?"
There was a long pause on the phone before you let out a soft laugh acted like everything was ok.
" Of course not Jim, just be safe. Ok?"
" Ok, see you later, goodnight." He said with a smile though you couldn't see it.
" Oh wait Jim! Happy-"
He hung up before you could finish, making a pain shot straight to your heart.
" Happy four year anniversary.." You mumbled the last bit as you turned to Oswald.
" So much for a surprise, huh?"
You shook your head as Oswald gave you a pained look. He knew how much you loved to spoil Jim and make him happy. He knew how much you wanted to fix your now falling apart love life. He also knew that deep down in his and your heart, things between you and Jim would soon become deceased. Oswald walked over to the car door and opened it to you; you smiled weakly and thanked him, getting inside. He soon joined you on the other side and told his driver to take you home. Once the car stopped you looked as Oswald and gently patted his thigh.
" Oswald, Thank you so much for doing this for me. I am really sorry I had to drag you out here for nothing though. You honestly are the best friend anyone can ask for. "
He felt a slight " ping" in his heart but put on his best smile, nodding slowly as he gently placed his hand on top of yours.
" I am happy to do anything for you, I just want you to be happy and know you are-"
He stopped himself as you tilted your head to the side and before you could speak he blurted it out.
"-Loved, you are very much loved and cared for by others. Even if my so called " pal" Jim, doesn't seem to see it, or I should say show it to you as of late."
He said with a low growl, which made you flinch. It also made your anger start to rise slightly at the fact Oswald would say such a thing to you and about his best friend. You opened your mouth then closed it slowly as you realized he was sadly right. Oswald saw this and gently placed his free hand on your cheek, making you look at him.
" My dear, I am sorry if I made you upset, I just dislike seeing you like this. I apologies for my harsh words."
" I forgive you Oswald, thank you once again."
You smiled then moved away and got out of the car.
" Goodnight Oswald."
"Goodnight my dear."
Once Jim had gotten home, you had been asleep. He sighed then walked to the kitchen, he checked the clock and saw it was already into the late hours of the morning. He then squinted as he looked at the note on the fridge. He took it, turned on a light and read it.
" Jim, I know you work hard and can't help when you are here and not. Next time maybe try and learn to say " NO", unless someone is dying, then maybe you could try and remember what day it is, there is some left overs in the fridge. Night."
Jim blinked as he tried to think what he missed. His eyes went wide as realized what day he had missed. He looked over to the bedroom to see you where asleep, he promised to himself to make up for what he had missed. He then went out and got cooking ingredients to make your most loved food. You woke up t the smell of fresh food being cooked. You yawned, rubbed your sleep out of your eyes and checked the clock.
""9:20 AM? What the-"
" Good morning, I made you some food."
Jim said as he poked his head into the door, smiling softly as you. You glared at him first as the thought of how he forgot your special day came back. You then sighed and got out of bed, walking over to him, smiling weakly.
" Jim, what are you making in here?"
You stopped in the middle of the kitchen as you saw heart shaped pancakes, and a bunch of fresh berries, along with OJ. On all of the pancakes the words written, " I am so sorry" in red velvet frosting. You stared at the scene before you. You slowly turned to see a grinning Jim; you then pulled him into a hug as sighed, shaking your head,
" You know, you can be a huge jerk at times, but then I see things like this and I know why I am with you."
" I love you too."
Jim said with a soft chuckle and kissed the top of your head. You two then sat down and talked softly as you both just finally had a moment of pure love for each other. Of course that wouldn't last long.
" Oswald, I just don't get it, I tried everything and yet he still puts me in second place!"
You said as you down another shot, you went to take another when Oswald put his hand on top of the glass, stopping you from drinking it. He sighed and shook his head, feeling disappointed in his friend. For not only was you and Jims love being pulled apart but so was Oswald's and Jims friendship. He looked into your eyes with his deep blue ones. He then placed his free hand on your cheek once again and bit his lower lip.
" I think we need to go to my office and have a bit of a private talk, ok?"
" Ok Ozzy.."
You two walked pout of the main area of his club and into his office, you looked around then he gestured with his hand for you to take a seat, which you did. He wasted no time and got straight to the point as he poured himself a cup of wine.
" I think you should leave Jim, as much as I care for my dear friend. I see how sad he is making you, let alone forget about the four years you where together."
" O-Oswald! How could you say that?! I love Jim! Yes we have are ups and downs, but leave him? Never."
Oswald set his glass down, and sighed, shaking his head. He had enough of all of this. Enough of the pain, enough of this hiding, just enough of all of this. He turned, walked over to you, leaned down, so your eyes where locked into each other's and you had no room to escape. His lips were a few inches from yours.
" Look, my love. I can't hide this anymore. I have had feelings for you since we first met; I never said a word because I know you had your heart set on Jim. Though.."
He gently ran his soft, pale, fingers up and down your arm, which sent shivers down your spine. You never moved your eyes from his as he kept moving his fingers ever so softly up and down your up, tracing random shapes. He leaned in close so you could feel his hot breath against your ear and neck.
" I saw the way you looked at me, even now you sometimes sneak in those glances. The ones that make you blush when I catch you but I have played off. The ones where I see your thoughts wonder about the '"What if's" and more."
" Oswald, I-I don't know what you are t-"
" Oh don't play games with me, I will win this one. I am the King of Gotham after all. Now, I am going to ask you something and you decided which one you want to be."
You gulped and saw as his eyes slowly looked up and down your body, which made you slowly shift in your seat. You hated yourself right now because that look he was giving you, a dark but almost lust filled one. Made you turned the hell on. Oswald slowly smirked as he stopped moving his fingers on your arms then whispered into your ear.
" You can stay a saint and stay with dear-old-Jim, because you don't want to hurt him, or you can become my sinner and I will show you all of the love you deserve, along with some other sins up my sleeve. "
He then pulled back and offered you hand to help you up; you slowly took it and stood up. You stared at Oswald, how could such a sweet person say such dark and lust, possessive things? You gently squeezed his hand and he smiled softly.
" I will have you taken home, take the rest of tonight to think about what I said, ok? Take care my dear."
" O-Ok Oswald, t-thank you."
You said while a blush creped across you face from what just happened. You walked out of Oswald club; you face was now fully flushed. You climb into the car and looked out the window as the car started to move. You had feelings for Oswald back when you two first met. Now you knew deep down that those feelings never went away, the question was what where you going to do about these feelings now? You had till morning to think about what to do, though deep down you already knew which one you would choose between the saint or the sinner.
