Bruce (pov)
After Selina passed out I got really worried I didn't know what to do I tried to shout her awake but Alfred pulled e back and told me to give her some room she probably passed out of exhaustion. Alfred pulled me and ivy out of the study and into the hallway to give Selina some space.
"Thank you for bring Selina to me, I know she probably put up a lot of fuss to come and see me for help so thank you for doing so." I say to ivy after Alfred left to do what ever he was doing before all this happened.
"Actually she wanted me to bring her to you" she says while looking around the house.
"Really she wanted to see me," I ask in a bit confused voice to ivy she just looks at me like I am stupid.
"Yeah" she says while fiddling with on of the plants in my hallway "She just said take me to Bruce. But I think it was because I told her I was struggling to look after her and told her to go to the hospital." She says while leaving the plant and walking over to me.
"You can stay hear for the night if you would like its cold and dark outside plus it's late" I say to her trying to be a nice towards her and as a thank you fro bring Selina to be for she go any worse.
"No I'm good billionaire, I can handle my self out there but thanks," she say while heading towards the door and letting her self out. I stand there for a minuet just staring at the study door really wanting to go in and be there for Selina but Alfred said no. I was standing there in a trance just looking at the door till I felt someone put there hands on my shoulder and jumped I turn to see Alfred looking at me with a concern look on his face.
"I've called a doctor to come and look at her, they will be here in the morning," he says to
"Thank you Alfred" say be fore I go back to staring at the door
"Master Bruce staring at that door wont make her any better, so I suggest you go and get some sleep ok" he say while heading off before I stop him
"Alfred"
"Yes" he stops and turns to look at me
"I am really worried about her I don't know what to do, what if something's seriously wrong with her and its my fault" I say with sadness in my voice
"How is it your fault Master Bruce, you did nothing wrong and nether did she for once" he says with a chuckle at the last part
"I found her a week ago on the streets, and I stopped her to apologize to her and asked her to come back to the manner with me but she said no and ran off and now look what has happened" I say in an angry tone to Alfred he says nothing for a while all he does is put a comforting hand on my shoulder
"Look master Bruce this isn't your fault, so stop thinking that. It was just bad luck that she fell" he says to me while walking up the stairs "Now I suggest you go and get ready for bed ok" he says to me sternly
"Alfred I don't want to leave her I am worried about her, what if something bad happens and I am not there for her" I say while trying to walk to the stairs but he stops me from doing so "Alfred let me go and see her" I say getting angry at him.
"Master Bruce I know you are concerned for miss Kyle but you need your rest to now go in to that room and go to bed I will watch her for the time being ok" he says while leading me towards my room.
"Fine but if anything happens you have to come and wake me" I say before closing the door and heading off to bed but I found it impossible to sleep all I could think about was Selina and how it was my fault that she is like this. I look over to my clock on the bedside table and notice it was 3:28 am, how long have I been up for I wondered. All through the night I tossed and turned thinking about her and what if something has happened to her and I was not there to do anything about it.
In the morning I woke up to the bright sun coming through my window, I turn to my clock to see that it was only 8:17 am, I must of only had about 4 hours sleep but I found it impossible to. So I walk down the stairs to find Alfred in the kitchen making breakfast.
"Morning Alfred" I say while get a glass of orange juice from the fridge "did anything happen to Selina while I was sleeping" I say taking a seat at the table
"Morning master Bruce, I take it you didn't sleep well then," he says while frying bacon.
"No, now did anything happen to her" I say wanting to know
"No she slept all night, she is still sleeping before you ask," she say while dishing breakfast onto the plate and putting it in front of me.
"When will the doctor be here?" I say while stuffing food into my mouth
"He said about 10" he said while coming to sit opposite me while eating our breakfast in silence
"Can I go and see her now"
"If you wish master Bruce" and with that I was down that hallway in a second, as I reach the door I turn the handle slowly and open the door quietly as I can to try and not disturb her. Once the door was open I walk in to the room to finder her still lying on the sofa with her eyes closed, so I decide to go over to the sofa opposite her and start doing some investigation on the secret council. About 30 minuets past I was still doing research till I heard some movement from Selina so I look up to find her awake and trying to get comfy, once she was settled down she looks at me and I just smile at her.
"Hey" I say while putting down my things and walking over to her and sitting on the table in fount of her
"Hey" she says weakly "how long have I been out for, and where is ivy" she says while trying to sit up, she was struggling to sit up so I decide to help her do so.
"Ivy went back to where ever, how are you feeling thought" I say while putting my hand on her forehead she was burning up.
"I feel like shit, my head hurts, my throat is sore me and my ankle is just killing me"
"Well the doctor is going to be here soon so don't worry we will get you feeling better I promise"
"Ok thank you and once I am better I will be out of your hair"
"Its up to you, you are more than welcome to stay if..." Alfred coming in with someone cut me off
"Master Bruce the doctors is here from miss Kyle," He says while leading me out the room and in to the hallway.
An hour later
Selina's (pov)
After the doctors was finished he called Alfred back in with Bruce behind him to tell them what is wrong with me.
"Well it seems that she had caught the flue and have badly sprained her ankle and must keep off it for a few days. I have given her some medicine for now but she can only have some every 5 hours. But besides that nothing ells is wrong with her, she should be better in about a week I would say. Call if there is anything you need" and with that Alfred was showing him out. I just sit on the sofa minding my own busses trying to avoid eye contact with Bruce.
"Look Selina I just want to say I am so sorry for every thing for the kiss when you where hear till when I found you out on the streets last week." He says to me in a sad voice trying not to look at me either
"It's fine B lets just move on ok, none of that happened" I say to him while making room on the sofa so he could sit next to me, he got the hint and sat down beside me
"So your not mad at me or anything"
"No lets just for get it about it, but I do need to ask you a favour though" I say with a smirk on my face
"What" he says in a concern voice, because every time I do that smirk it always ends up with one of us in trouble
"I may need a place to stay for the time being"
"And you are wondering if you can stay here" her says with a smirk, I just nod my head " yeah like I said before the manor is always open for you to stay at"
"Thank you" says while leaning my head on his shoulder we sit in a comfortable silence for a few minuets.
"Selina" Bruce says while breaking the Silence
"Yeah" I say while lifting my head fro the shoulder to look at him
"There is something I need to ask you" he says in a serious voice to all I do I nod my head to tell him to continue "Well you know how last week when I found you and you started yelling at me about the kiss and you said you didn't want to pull way and how I deserve someone better than you what did you mean by that exactly" he says looking me dead in the eyes. I didn't know what to say and why did he have to bring this up now this was not the time for this.
"Look Bruce I am to tiered and sick to have this conversation right now" I say trying to avoided the question, but he doesn't give up that easily
"Selina please just answer it, it keeps me up at night about what you meant about it," he says trying to get me to answer
"Look B it's complicated"
"How" he says getting irritated by me not answering
"Drop it B"
"I wont Selina, and I cant. I just want and explanation to what is going on with you, ever since the kiss you avoided me for like a month with no contact nothing, and then I find you again and you say that you didn't want to pull away from the kiss and I deserve someone better than you. This whole thing has just confused me and I just want you to answer me," he says while yelling at me, but I just yell back
"You really want to know," I say getting my voice as loud as it can go before it starts hurting even more than it did
"YES" she shouts back at me
"Because I like you Bruce" say yelling at him with tear in my eyes but I refuse to let them fall
"Why didn't you tell me?" he says in a calm voice and coming over to give me a hug
"Its like I told you, you deserve someone better, someone pretty, rich and will treat you right. Not just some orphan girl who lives on the streets who is the opposite of every thing I just told you" I say not looking at him and trying to brake free from the hug but just gets closer and holds me tighter and I don't want to let go, but I know I have to I don't want to show I'm weak and I really don't want to give in to this feeling.
"Selina you know that isn't true, you know how I feel about you. Please don't ever think you are not good enough form me," he says to me with his head resting on my shoulder and I can feel is warm even breaths on my neck.
"Bruce I don't want your fake comments to make me feel better about my self" I say bitterly to him
"But there not fake" he says while lifting his head to look at me.
"Bruce look I don't want you to feel like you have to say you like me just because I told you how I feel so just drop all of this now" I say trying to get up to go to my room, but Bruce stops me from doing so by pulling me back down and since I am sick I don't have the energy to fight back.
"Selina" he says in a gentle voice to get my attention and it does because I turn my heard towards him to look into his soft grey eyes
"What" I snap at him but he still looks at me softly
"Would I do this if I didn't like you" and before I could answer he leans in a kisses me and first I'm shocked but then I kiss back and it felt so right and for once I felt like I had nothing to worry about. About a minuet later he pulls away to look me in the eyes. I was about to speak but he put his finger to my mouth stopping me from talking "I'm sorry but I thought you should know how I felt about you instead of some words that you would just think I am making up even thought I'm not" with those words I melt inside but I'm still second guess everything he says to me.
"Bruce look I want to believe you I really do but I cant because everything that good happens to me always get taken away from me or destroyed in someway or another" I say looking at him and he just gives me a small smile and pulling me into a hug which I don't return but I think he knows why anyway.
"Selina I promise you nothing will happen between me and you because I will do every thing I can to keep you safe and to keep you close to me no matter what it takes" he says while kissing my forehead
"Promise me Bruce because I don't want to get into something that is just going t be takeaway from me," I say while looking him in the eyes
"I promise you," he says while leaning in for another kiss, when we pull away Bruce says something that made me smirk "God how cheesy did I just sound towards you" he says while laughing lightly
"Yeah and how pitiful did I sound talking to you" I say while laughing lightly as well. We sit in silence for a while till Alfred came in.
"Master Bruce, Miss Kyle diner will be ready soon" he was about to walkout before he turned back "oh and Miss Kyle you will be having some soup to make you feel better" and with that he walked off to the kitchen. Bruce and I must of forgot that I was ill for the time being when we where aught up in arguing. A few minuets of silent passed till I remember something.
"Bruce I have the flue you could have it now from kissing me" I say while looking at him but he just smirks at me giving my head a kiss again 'god he does that a lot'
"I don't care I rather have flu if it means I get to kiss you" he say sounding really cheesy but I just laugh at him for It "and plus I hade my flue shot" I just hit his shoulder lightly till Alfred brought in dinner for us.
