Chapter Three
I moaned as a set of hands started to shake me, trying to get me up. But the bed was soooo soft and warm.
"Go 'way." I mumbled as I burrowed myself under the blanket. Suddenly, the blanket disappeared and I was lying in my panties and undershirt on a bed with Megan and Nightwing standing over me, "What the Hell! Get out! I'm half-naked." I screeched, throwing my pillow at a blushing Nightwing.
"Sorry!" he stumbled out the door, his face a bright red. I looked up at Megan and we burst into a fit of giggles.
"Oh my God! That was so worth waking you up. Now, come on, put these on, Batman said we could go shopping today." she said excitedly as she handed me a pair of jeans and a black, mid-riff tank. I sighed and dressed in the clothes. I jerked on my combat boots and laced them up half way. I ran my fingers through my messy hair and yawned.
"Jeez woman, what time is it, how long was I out?" I asked as I followed her out into the hall where Nightwing was leaning against the wall looking at the floor.
"You've been asleep for nine and a half hours. It's now ten thirty." Megan answered
"Hey, Hotshot! Yeah, you, don't get any ideas of telling people about this morning. Or I'll be a living nightmare." I poked Nightwing's chest for good measure. He smirked.
"I wouldn't for the world." he promised. I finally looked at him for the first today. He was wearing dark sunglasses, dark wash jeans, and a black, form-fitting, vee-neck t-shirt.
"You look nice in regular clothes." I complemented on his attire. He did look great. He looked hot. But I won't say that out loud. His smirk grew.
"You look nice, too, though I do prefer the body suit." he grinned and offered me an arm. I took and looked over at Megan who was watching us with a bemused smirk.
"So...are you two, like, dating?" she asked and we practically ripped our arms off when we jerked away from each other.
"What! No, no no no no!" I said as Nightwing said "Never would I date a criminal."
"A criminal?" I asked angrily as I turned on him.
"Yeah, a criminal. You may have turned over a leaf, but you haven't proven you've truly changed, JoJo." Nightwing said calmly. I let it slide, because he was right.
"Whatever, let's just go." Megan said shaking her head, "We have three hours."
It was a quick trip to a small city near Mount Justice. We found a mall and began shopping.
"Oh! JoJo, look at this, here, go try these on, now!" Megan squealed as she shoved a pile of clothes into my arms and pushed me into a changing room. I sighed and changed into the first outfit.
It was a pair of dark wash skinny jeans and long sleeved, neon green, crop top that ended right below my bust line. I stepped out and Megan contemplated for a moment. Then she handed me a bright orange camisole.
"Put this on with it." she said. I did as I was told and I showed them again. They nodded, grinning.
"You look awesome." Nightwing said with a smirk. I rolled my eyes and put the outfit on the 'keep' pile.
The next out fit was a black tank top with a black, ruffled skirt with a bright red ribbon wrapped around it with a matching red corsage. Along with the tank top was a pair of black gloves that ended a few inches before my shoulders. I grinned. This one was by far my favorite. I stepped out of the small room.
Nightwing's jaw dropped and Megan nodded in satisfaction.
I tried on maybe fifteen more outfits. In the end I had five pairs of jeans, one dress, three skirts, and ten different tops. Next we went shoe shopping. I bought two pairs of converses, one black, the other red. A pair of black heels. A pair of dark blue ballet flats, and a pair of Minnetonka pug boots. I was pretty happy with the shopping trip.
We stopped at a Japanese style resteraunt and ate lunch. I sipped my Dr. Pepper thoughtfully as I watched Nightwing discreetly out of the corner of my eye. He was pretty cute, for a guy that didn't show his identity. But, maybe he just wasn't ready for something like that. I shrugged off the thought and started in on my platter of spicy sushi.
We talked and joked and laughed. All in all, it was a really great three hours.
YAY! Another chapter! Review please!
