A/N-I don't own anything Batman, just the characters Amanda, Jill, Jake, Rob and some other characters.
P.S- this is the first time I am writing a story, and I am not the greatest at it so it won't be the greatest.
Amanda walked through the door to her new house. Not a house, more like an extremely nice luxury apartment. With boxes piled up, she couldn't really tell were the floor met the walls. Standing nearly at five feet and eleven inches with olive skin, and wavy shoulder length dark brown hair, she made her way through the labyrinth, and into her new bedroom where she found her friend Jill sitting on a makeshift chair, made out of boxes.
"Jill move your ass, and start helping me unpack these damn boxes!" Amanda yelled.
"Jeez, relax Amanda I have been helping you for hours on end" complained Jill, "Can't we just take like a little five minute break?"
Amanda was the type of girl who liked things done quickly, and usually did things quickly. Just like her relationships. All in which ended shortly after they started. Usually with some expensive plates and glasses broken from arguments. Along with the broken plates and glasses there was always a broken heart.
Giving in, "Fine. Fine. Fine. We will take a break. Why don't we go to lunch? Any suggestions, you have been living here longer."
"Why don't we go to the pizzeria across the street, the have the best pizz— "
Amanda cutoff Jill right away, " Jill we all know there will never be better pizza than Hickory Tree."
By then Jill and Amanda were waiting for the elevator to take them down.
Stepping into the elevator, "Amanda you have to try this pizza it's the best in Gotham. Just give it a chance; you are going to have to try new things. You're in a big city not some small stuffy town anymore.
"You're right, lets give it a try."
The brisk fall air nipped at Amanda's bare arms. She thought to herself that she should have worn her new black and white long sleeve shirt she got at J-Crew a week ago. Instead she was wearing an old concert t-shirt from when she saw the Red Hot Chili Peppers ages ago, with her favorite dark wash skinny jeans, and some gray medium length Uggs which were so worn out, she should of brought a sweatshirt. Looking over to Jill who was wearing a cozy gray sweatshirt from her hometown pool, which was a more like a pond.
"Damn, I should have worn a sweatshirt or a coat or something." Amanda grumbled moving her arms across her chest to keep herself warm.
"Stop whining you are going to have to get used to cold weather, and overcast here in Gotham. I thought you would be used to it since you practically grew up in hockey rinks with you brother being the huge hockey player and all. How is he by the way?"
"He's good, just got signed for the Gotham Bandits, he is happy, the Rangers wanted him but you know he would never go on that team. And the Devils are full with new players even though the6 wanted him they couldn't get him on the team, too many people. So he went to the Gotham Bandits. I like the team they have a great defense, and with Rob on offense it will improve greatly."
By the time Amanda had finished explaining about her brother being in the NHL, they made their way to the Gotham's supposedly best pizza place.
"Alright lets give this pizza a try…" Amanda hesitantly stepped into the line to order.
"You will see, this pizza is great."
The two girls sat down in a table with a red and white-checkered tablecloth by the window. Jill decided it was time to confront Amanda about the situation she was in at the moment.
"Amanda, you have to come out of hiding, I still can't believe that you moved here. It's dangerous."
Jill, I can handle it." Amanda said looking down at the tablecloth not wanting to talk about this at the moment.
"No you can't, we both grew up in a bubble. But I lived her for a couple of years before moving to Hillberry Park, so I was prepared for what was coming to me when I moved here. But you lived in Hillberry since you were born!" Hillberry Park was one of the nicest towns in New Jersey.
"I will survive with you. But I had to get out of that town, and get away from him, you know that." Amanda looked of into the distance remembering some awful things that happened back in her hometown. She was brought back to reality by the commotion going on across the street.
"What's going on?" Amanda asked Jill who was now too busy texting her boyfriend Jake.
"Hello earth to Jill?"
Jill looked up with an apologetic look and then turned her attention across the street to where her apartment was and Amanda's new apartment, knowing all to well what was going on.
"Oh yeah I forgot to tell you that Bruce Wayne lives in the building too, but the super nice penthouse on the top floor, putting ours to shame." Jill laughed slightly.
"Oh, cool. Um Jill who is Bruce Wayne?" Amanda watched the man trying to avoid the paparazzi.
"He own Wayne Enterprises! He has billions, I thought you knew, you are usually all about celebrity stuff." Jill had a shocked looked on her face, how could Amanda not know who he was, she was always saying back in school that if there was a class on celebrity news and such that she would ace that class.
"Well I just learned something new for the day." Watching the billionaire man climb into a nice Rolls Royce. He was quite handsome, but anyone could be handsome from a distance.
After talking about the economy, and the new Jimmy Choo shoes Jill was wearing, Amanda proclaimed, "I will give you this. This is the second best pizza I have had; no pizza will ever take the place of a hickory tree special." To Jill that was a small victory knowing all to well that no pizza replace Amanda's favorite, but having this place come in second.
After they ate their pizza they decided to head back to Amanda's apartment and continue on the torture that was unpacking every item Amanda owned.
"I need a drink!" Jill said while collapsing on a big brown comfy couch in the living room.
After a long day of unpacking all of Amanda's things into her new home, they were exhausted.
"Come on I think there is a bar downstairs, I have no drinks or food up here yet."
Amanda quickly went to go change keeping her jeans on but put on some knew high Jimmy Choo boots with a low heal, because any higher she would be a tower, and put on the J-Crew shirt that she bought a week ago.
Jill already in her new Jimmy Choo black stilettos, and high waisted skirt and a silk dark green blouse, met Amanda by her door and they walked to the elevator.
When they arrived, they headed straight to the bar. The bar was beautiful, the floor was made out of black marble, with a dark wood bar, and the counter tops matching the floor. The stools were made out of nice looking black leather to go around with the darker modern look. In the back of the bar was bottles upon bottles of expensive alcohol. There were only a couple people having a drink at the bar.
Jill told the bartender " I'll have a Cosmo please."
Then he turned to Amanda and asked what she would have…
"I'll have a Grey Goose vodka martini up very dry with a twist of lemon." Amanda said to the bartender who looked oddly familiar, but she quickly dismissed it.
"Coming right up" The bartender winked at her.
Just then as the bartender went to go make the drinks a tall man with brown hair, and hazely brown eyes turned toward Amanda.
"Sounds like you had a long day…"
The bartender set her drink down in front of her.
"You have no fucking idea, tired as hell." Amanda complained, lazily spinning the martini glass in her hand. Then took a large sip.
Jill stood there with her jaw down to the floor gaping at her friend and the man sitting next to her friend.
"Oh, um I am so sorry for my friends behavior, she can be really rude sometimes!" Jill said appalled at her friend who just cussed at Bruce Wayne.
" Oh, it's quiet alright I understand your friend completely." He said and then put out is hand towards Amanda, "Bruce Wayne, nice to meet you."
Wow. He is pretty gorge—"Oh um, Amanda Moretti, nice to meet you too." Amanda said mortified that she just cursed in front of this billionaire not to mention sexy man.
"Um, so Amanda, how long have you been here in Gotham?" Bruce said, sounding distracted for a moment.
"Well I just moved here today, my friend Jill was helping me unpack some of my boxes today, which are still piled high in my rooms." At that moment Jill got up and told Amanda that she had to go meet Jake. Bruce and Amanda said their goodbyes.
"So you said that you were still unpacking with copious amounts of boxes left to unpack?"
"Yeah, tons and tons…" Realizing that it was going to take her forever to unpack since Jill was busy tomorrow.
"Well, why don't I come over tomorrow around four, and help you. I would tonight but I have some things to do..." Bruce drifted off.
"Oh no it's alright I am fine unpacking myself." Amanda declining the offer even though she would not mind one bit having over this man, this hot man to help her unpack.
"Oh, but I insist." Bruce pushed thinking to himself that this girl was quite attractive.
"Well if you insist." Amanda said happily defeated setting her martini glass down on the counter, " My room number 23 J. Just knock and I will open it because I will be home all day." She picked up her glass took one last sip, and set it back down.
After that they said their good byes, Amanda going upstairs to get ready for bed, and Bruce going upstairs to prepare for his usual night work that only a few select people knew about.
While Bruce was fighting the criminals of Gotham, he couldn't get this girl Amanda out of his head. Usually Bruce Wayne's 'life' didn't bother him when he was his alter ego Batman but, she seemed to keep making her way into his thoughts. With his mind in a haze the man he was fighting stabbed him in the back; it was painful, possibly needing stitches. He was going to need Alfred's help on this one because he wouldn't be able to tend to it himself.
Amanda lay awake with guys in her head. The first guy was the creepy bartender who winked at her, this guy seemed oddly familiar to her. Like he was some old flame or friend. The second guy was this Bruce Wayne guy, he was so handsome and he wanted to help her move in. She could see past his playboy status, which Jill had explained to her, and saw a gentleman. She couldn't quite put her finger on it but there was something special about Bruce Wayne.
