I love it when they try to get scandalous

Even though they know they really can't handle it

They can't handle it? They can't handle it

Try to take me out to dinner, I'll cancel it

If you really want to know me than first of all

You should never try to get to personal

Cause I'm in it when I say

That you gotta a long way to go

Richard's POV

7:45.

Shit. I'm late. I grabbed my car keys, taking one last look in the mirror. I grabbed my Armani suit jacket and practically flew out the door. Bruce's charity party was at 8 o'clock, and I still had to pick up my date.

I revved up the engine and took off. I really wasn't looking forward to this party, mainly because they were all boring as hell. The champagne was good, but being trapped in a room with rich, old business men was no walk in the park. Good thing I had Roy there, he actually made these events worth attending too. Dammit. I just remembered that he was gonna be out of town this weekend. It came to me because tomorrow I'm flying out there to meet up with him for a business meeting. Oh this was really gonna suck. Now I'm stuck with this girl, Summer, whom I invited to the charity and that I've been seeing for about a week. Not a preferred date, but she would do for tonight.

I approached Summer's house and met her outside. She kissed me and both got into the car. She started talking about her dress or something like that. I just nodded absent mindedly as she continued to babble about her life.

As we drove up to get out of the car, Summer got really excited, "Oh my god Richard, look at all of the paparazzi that want to know everything about me."I sighed and shook my head, girls always thought that it was all about them.

We both stepped out of the car and I handed the keys to the valet. I felt Summer hook her arm with mine and we walked up towards to front of the mansion. We were bombarded with tons of questions about me, and I ignored them all, but unfortunately Summer felt like she had to answer all of there questions. I dragged her off the cameras and the reporters and we stepped inside the mansion.

Wow Bruce really went all out for this party. I don't remember it being this important but the mansion was decorated to its fullest. Gold was everywhere. The curtains, the chandelier above us was lined with gold, even the wine glasses had gold trim on them. Summer stood there in amazement, and turned to me, "Richard, my god this place is beautiful."

"Yeah, this is another thing Bruce is famous for, his extravagant parties." We walked around for a few minutes saying hello to everyone. Summer soon excused herself to use the bathroom, so I took that was an opportunity to find somebody, anybody to talk too. And that's when I saw Bruce.

Bruce was talking to two young women from what I could tell. I started to make my way over towards them to see one of them leave. Then I had an epiphany, that was Donna leaving. I walked closer towards Bruce to see he was still talking to one girl. And from the view right now, she looked unfamiliar and totally beautiful. I picked up my pace until I could actually see the girls face. That's when I stopped dead in my tracks. I stared deeply at her. Who was she? And why was she so beautiful? She had long auburn hair, and a killer body from what I could see. I shook myself from my dazed face and approached Bruce from behind.

I whispered at his shoulder, "Nice party as usually Bruce." He was caught off guard by my comment, and I smirked. I then looked over his shoulder and saw her. She was so beautiful, no gorgeous, no, goddess-like. Though she didn't look at me, I could feel the connection.

"Hey Richard, I thought I saw you come in late," he smiled, "Where's your date?" I pointed at the bathroom. Kori had finally looked up at me so I turned to look at her. She had the most gorgeous green eyes that I have ever seen in my life. They were like a forest green, full of life, and beauty. Bruce had noticed this and cleared his throat.

"Oh excuse me, Richard, I would like you to meet a very special woman. Her name is Kori Anders, she just moved here from New York," he turned towards Kori, "And this is Richard Grayson, my adopted son, and the biggest jack—" I literally pushed Bruce over before he could insult me and took a hold of her hand.

He excused himself while I took her hand and lightly brushed my lips over them. Now normally this would make any girl blush, but she did nothing but pull her hand away. "It's a pleasure to meet you Kori." Then she did something I've never seen before. She took the hand that I kissed and wiped it on her dress. That caught me way off guard, and I think she noticed because she smiled.

"I'll bet." Even though the comment wasn't the nicest, it made me smile. Her voice, was perfect sounding. I took myself out of my trance to see her looking down at her wine glass, looking well, bored. I could change that. Easily.

"You know, you have the most beautiful eyes that I have ever seen in my life." I looked at her eyes, then down to her body, covered by a simple, but sexy black mini dress.

She continued to swirl the wine in her glass but started to chuckle, "Right, and I'll bet that my eyes are not the only thing you find gorgeous about me."

I smirked, I'll admit, I wouldn't mind seeing her between my silk sheets. But that will come later, because she was actually putting up a fight. I leaned closer to her ear and whispered in a deep husky voice, "You know, I like a woman, who knows she's beautiful." I pulled my back to hear her sigh, but I wasn't really sure what that meant.

Then I saw her glance around, and she came closer to me, whispering seductively, "You know, I like a man, who doesn't treat a women like shit." She pulled away and started to laugh when she saw my face.

I regained my composure and smiled saying, " Who gave you the right to be such a bitch?"

She too, smirked, "The same person who gave you the right to be a womanizing bastard."

I was about to come with another smart ass remark when I felt to small arms encircle my waist. Perfect timing Summer.

"Oh Richard I've been looking all over for you, why did you leave me?" I sighed big time and took her arms off of my waist. She took a sidestep and then spotted Kori, and I could see her eyes getting big.

She shrieked, "Oh my god, your Kori Anders. Oh my god you are the most beautiful woman I have ever seen in my life. I love all the pictures you take, you are so gorgeous. I'm like your biggest fan ever!"

She looked up at Summer than at me and smiled brightly, "Oh thank you so much, that really means a lot."

Summer smiled even wider, "Oh my god you have to give me your autograph, please? My name is Summer."

"I would love to give you an autograph." I saw Summer pull out a piece of paper and pen and had Kori sign it. I was about to say something again when Donna interrupted as she approached us.

Donna then looked at me, giving me that look she gives Roy when he screws up. She then snapped her head towards Kori's, "Hey Kori, there's um somebody I want you to meet, let's go." She took Kori by the arm and they both disappeared into the crowd. Kori must have been Donna's date to the party. Kori was the girl that Roy was talking about Donna living with. Perfect. I knew it wasn't gonna be the last time I ever see her. That was for sure.

I didn't see Kori for the rest of the evening. It also became increasingly difficult to be around Summer because after being around Kori, he found her so, annoying. As he leaned back in his chair he found himself thinking about her again. 5 minutes. 5 minutes I spend with Kori and she plaguing my mind. It was then I decided We Belong Together...

Kori's POV

Paparazzi was everywhere. They complete ambushed me and Donna as we made our entrance to this charity event. I guess word spread fast that I had moved to Gotham. We stepped into the mansion and I was amazed. There was gold everywhere. Wow, Bruce sure knows how to impress a crowd.

Donna must have noticed my amazement, "Bruce is notorious for throwing the best parties." I nodded my head. She led my inside and grabbed both of us a glass of wine. We mingled around for a bit, Donna introducing me to rich, old business men. All of them being polite, too polite. But Donna and I would just laugh it off. Any age, it didn't matter, men were still pigs.

As we made our way to our table I spotted a man I hadn't seen in ages. " Oh lord Donna, is that Bruce Wayne over there?" He still was really handsome, despite his age.

"Yup. That's him. Come on let's go say hi." She took my arm and led me towards Bruce.

As we walked up to him turn towards me and Donna and locked eyes with me. "Kori? Is that you?" I smiled and ran up to get a huge hug from him. We released and he took a good look at me, "My, My, what have the years done to you. You are one very beautiful woman Kori."

I smiled at his words, "Thank you Bruce. But I can see the years have still treated you right, your really went all out for this party."

We started to catch up and were interrupted by Donna's phone, she looked at the screen then at me and Bruce, "Please excuse me, Roy's calling me." She took off in the opposite direction. When I turned around to face Bruce, I saw someone approaching him from behind. The man whispered something into his ear which caught him off guard and he turned to face him. I looked down at my feet, and got a weird feeling. That man was really good looking, was he that guy Donna was telling me about?

I saw as he side stepped to take a good look at me. I didn't look up because I was about one hundred percent positive this was the guy.

"Hey Richard, I thought I saw you walk in late, where's your date?"That's right, his name was Richard. I looked up as I saw him point towards the bathroom, and just after that his eyes locked with mine. I'm not surprised that woman would fall for a man like him. Beautiful deep blue eyes, short ebony hair spiked to perfection, and a well built body. Overall, he was gorgeous, I would give him that, but personality wise according to his stereotype, would make him the worlds most ugly man to me.

I guess we had been staring at each other for awhile because Bruce cleared his throat, "Oh excuse me, Richard, I would like you to meet a very special woman. Her name is Kori Anders, she just moved here from New York," he then turned to me, "And this is Richard Grayson, my adopted son, and the biggest jack—" I started giggling as Richard had shoved Bruce out of the way. He quietly excused himself before leaving.

He took my hand from my side and brushed his lips over them looking at me, lust already filling them, Was that supposed to make me blush? " It's a pleasure to meet you Kori."

I wiped my hand that he kissed on my dress, and looked at his face that was full of confusion, I smiled, This was going to be fun.

"I'll bet." I replied obviously uninterested looking back down at my wine glass.

He smiled before saying, "You know, you have the most beautiful eyes I have ever seen in my life." I rolled my eyes as his gaze went south, definitely checking out my body.

I started swirling the wine in the glass and chuckled to myself, "Right, and I'll bet that my eyes are not the only thing you find gorgeous about me."Pig. I almost added that at the end but decided I'd play nice tonight.

What he did next did throw me off guard a bit, even though I didn't show it. "You know, I like a woman, who knows she's beautiful." He whispered it into my ears which was unexpected, another childish attempt to make me blush, or something. But instead I sighed, he was trying a little too hard.

I looked around the room, Where the hell is Donna? I rolled my eyes, unnoticed by Richard and came closer to him whispering seductively into his ear, "You know, I like a man, who doesn't treat a women like shit." I looked back at his face and let out a good laugh.

Then he smirked and said, "What gave you the right to be such a bitch?"

I met his same facial feature, "The same person who gave you the right to be a womanizing bastard."

I was expecting something else to come out of his mouth when some girl had come up from behind Richard and putting her arms around him. She said something but I wasn't paying any attention, I was too busy looking around the room, looking for Donna. When all of a sudden I heard this high pitched screech.

"Oh my god, your Kori Anders. Oh my god you are the most beautiful woman I have ever seen in my life. I love all the pictures you take, you are so gorgeous. I'm like your biggest fan ever!" Yeah, you and the other millions of girls who wish that they were me.

I looked at her, and then at Richard. It fit perfectly. She was probably some high sorority slut that Richard was messing around with. I smiled, "Oh thank you so much, that really means a lot."

"Oh my god you have to give me your autograph, please? My name is Summer." I sighed on the inside. But I secretly caught a priceless glance at Richard. He looked so confused.

That's when I said, "I would love to give you an autograph." Then all of a sudden she had a paper and pen and I signed it. It was then when Donna showed up to rescue me. She sent Richard a death glare which made me smile.

Then she looked at me apologetically, "Hey Kori, there's um somebody I want you to meet, let's go." She grabbed my arm and we disappeared from Richard's sight.

It was then when I turned to Donna, "Dear lord, what took you so long? You left me stuck with that piece of scum, for like five minutes!"

"I'm so sorry Kori, but Roy had to tell me something. What did he say? Did he hit on you?"

"Yes, but wasn't anything worth mentioning. He's not even worth mentioning. I think that we should leave. I don't really want to be around him anymore." I looked at Donna and she laughed.

"And I thought the Grayson charm never failed. Okay let's say goodbye to Bruce, and then get the hell out of here. We need our rest before we got out tomarrow night." I nodded in agreement.

Thank God. I Really needed to wash my hand.

Wanna Love me? Wanna touch me?
