Chapter 2
A/N: SSSSSOOOOORRRRRYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I know I haven't updated in a lifetime so here is the next chapter!!!!!!!!
The black limo pulled up to Wayne Manor and Alexis's breath caught in her throat. She had never seen the mansion up close before and it was absolutely breath taking. It had to be two stories tall but it looked bigger. Wider. The driver opened her door for her, allowing her to step out of the back seat with her purse and suitcase on her shoulders.
"I'll get the rest of your belongings miss." The driver said and went to the trunk of the limo.
"Alexis!" A mans voice called out. Her eyes fell on Bruce who was walking quickly to greet her. Behind him a older man with gray hair and dressed in a dark suit was smiling at her. She returned the smile to both men and shook Bruce's hand when he finally got to her.
"How was your drive?" Bruce asked, his eyes shining brightly.
"Fine, just fine, thank you for asking. Oh Bruce your home is beautiful!" Alexis stated, glancing over the mansion once more.
"Wait until you see the inside." He said softly. He then turned around and clapped a hand on the older mans shoulder. "This Alfred, my trustworthy butler. He's like family to me." Bruce said, his facial features showing of admiration for this elder. Alfred smiled fondly at Bruce and stuck out his hand for Alexis.
"Nice to meet you Alfred." Alexis said politely.
"Pleasures all mine Ms. Parker." He greeted back. Alexis scrunched up her nose at his name calling.
"Oh Alfred please don't call me 'Ms. Parker', it makes me feel old. And im clearly not." She stated with a smirk. Bruce chuckled and Alfred grinned.
"Ma'am it's my job. I'm sure we can settle on something a little later, but first we must get you settled in." And with that Alfred took her bags the driver was holding and gestured for the suitcase she holding.
"Oh no Alfred I got it, really!" She said and gripped the suitcase tighter. She couldn't believe a man of his age was going to carry all that luggage and Bruce didn't offer to help.
"Shall we?" Bruce asked and she nodded, following him and Alfred up the gravel walkway into the big oak front doors that lead her to her new home for a couple of months.

Later on that night Alexis lay in her huge king sized bed, looking up at the ceiling deep in thought. When she walked into the house earlier that afternoon her breath had been taken away once again. The mansion was indeed very big inside and all the wonderful furniture, paintings and other little dilly dads were amazing. Alfred and Bruce lead her up a flight of marble stairs and showed her to her room. The room itself was bigger than her apartment. They left her to unpack and said that dinner would be ready in an hour. She thanked them and started to unpack her things. After dinner, Alexis had retired to her bedroom, and immediately changed for bed. She was very tired. The night before she came to her home she was going to be staying at for how many months she didn't know, but she couldn't sleep the night before because she was so anxious to come to Wayne Manor. Now, here she was, laying bed staring at the ceiling deep in thought. She turned her head to the side to look at the door. She slowly climbed out of bed and tip toed across the room to the door. She opened it slightly and peeked threw the crack, making sure the coast was clear. When she noticed it was safe she left her bedroom and crept down the hallway, trying her best to be quiet. Halfway down the hallway she noticed a beam of light peeking through a slightly opened door. She crept closer and heard a voice inside. It was Bruce.
"He's still awake?" She whispered to herself. She shrugged and knocked softly on his door.
"Come on!" He called. She opened the door and saw him sitting at a desk, wearing a t-shirt and a pair of red pajama pants and talking on the phone. It was midnight and he was talking on the phone. She raised an eyebrow but walked to the chair sitting in front of his desk and sat down.
"Right Donaldson. Okay. Alright goodnight." Bruce said and hung up the phone. "Alexis, what a surprise, I thought you would be asleep by now." Alexis shook her head and caught herself staring at his smile. He was so handsome.
"I couldn't sleep. I guess it's just nerves since im in a new place." Alexis said and Bruce nodded his head.
"I understand." He simply said.
"If you don't mind me asking, but who were you talking to at this time of night?" Alexis asked, and Bruce chuckled.
"You are a very curious woman Alexis. I could tell the first time I met you." Was Bruce's response. Alexis was caught off guard. Not many people caught that little flaw of hers and she was impressed that he had caught it the first time they met. She smirked at him.
"What can I say? I grew up with curious parents and a very, very nosey sister." Bruce chuckled again and smiled.
"I see. Is there something you want to talk about?" He asked and Alexis felt her cheeks blush.
"Oh no, no. I just couldn't sleep and I noticed your light was on so..." She was cut off by Bruce.
"You wanted to be nosey?" He teased and Alexis laughed.
"Sure, why not?"
"I'm glad you're here." Bruce suddenly said, catching Alexis completely off guard. She blushed a little and smiled.
"Me too." She responded, looking into his eyes. Warmth washed over her from the look in his eyes and he smiled back. He cleared his throat and she looked down, biting her lip to hid her chuckle.
"Are you thirsty?" He asked. Alexis shook her head.
"No im fine. I'll just go back to bed. Thanks for the talk." She said teasingly and stood up from her chair. "Goodnight Bruce." And she left the room. When the door clicked shut Bruce stood up from behind his desk and over to the window, looking out across the starlit sky. He breathed deeply and closed his eyes. Some interesting things were going to happen during Alexis's stay, he just new it. Now he had patrolling to do, and he needed to work out some of his sexual frustration on the slime in Gotham City.
