When Selena got in the car, she noticed Bruce had a caretaker and that he really liked his job " how are you, and what is your name" Selena asked as Bruce got in and sat right next to her so there was no gap or lack of space in-between them. Selena just gave a humorous smile because Bruce was getting annoyed with her and she thought it was fun. She let herself relax against him and let her head rest on his shoulde. Alfred replied " I am doing good ma'am thank you and my name is Alfred, it is nice to meet you" and he gave Bruce a wink, telling him he found a good one and Bruce just rolled his eyes " home Alfred " Bruce answered sourly and then Selena mentioned " Alfred dear can you take us to neat thrift store and an antique boutique please, Bruce broke some of my precious things and I would like to replace the, is that Okay? " , Bruce felt regret and couldn't believe she called him out in front of his mentor/ caretaker and knew sometime he was going to get a huge gruff from Alfred. Alfred looked back and gave Bruce a stern look " yes ma'am and I know just the right places too, I know a few of the owners and know they will gladly help you, you know, I am getting quite smitten with you because Bruce's mom loved visiting cute boutiques everywhere and I really enjoyed watching her being happy and helping her out, how about it Bruce and we'll give her some company" Bruce basically through his head back against the back of the car seat window and felt he was going to be caught up in a woman's shopping frenzy and hearing Alfred's monotone lectures as they help her out. " fine but when we get home, I need a drink" . Alfred pulled up into a pretty good sized outdoor mall. And as Selena got out of the nice rolls Royce, people looked at her but she really didn't give a fuck and she felt girly and giddy and couldn't wait to go shopping, as Bruce and Alfred got out. Some people took pictures, as Bruce walked up and close by Selena hip, he let his hand rest right above her butt and went in together. As Alfred was enjoying himself with a few of the employees of the stores and talked about London, coffee, how to make a certain dish, and talking to gay and straight couples wanting advice on whatever. As Bruce walked by a neat couple shelves and saw Selena looking at some glass antiques and fine China, he saw a box full of design China and noticed it had an art story to it. He took it to the front and paid for it and saw her buying very little of what she wanted and it got put into a small pink bag with the stores boutique Name on it. As they left, there was little paparazzi and he didn't care but he did want to leave, Alfred said he can go wait in the car but Bruce saw some guys hit on Selena and Bruce walked up behind Selena and grabbed her waist, kissing her by the corner of her eye and Selena just smiled and went in to the next store. Bruce then left and put his shades on giving a huge hint to every man, she is his. And Alfred knew and Well to give Bruce space And that he needed some me time. Couple of hours Later when Selena was happy with what she got and asked Alfred some advice and info on Bruce to see what he liked " Alfred asked " sounds like you want to make plans at your place and make supper for him, how about this ma'am, give the Wayne home a try and I want to make you guys something " Selena asked " have you ever got a break or day off from Bruce thou, he looks like he is hard to live with" Alfred replied " because his past made him that way and he just needs someone that is patient with him and love him for exactly who he is" Selena looked down and noticed how much time went by and started walking towards the car in a hurry and Alfred wondered about Selena as he followed her. " and Alfred I did hear you, I just didn't realize the time and that's why I rushed, and Alfred I feel like I can trust you, I just wanted to make sure you got treated right and thought I would give you time to enjoy life while I took Bruce and I out for some entertainment tonight" Alfred just saw something good and respect towards the woman. Alfred couldn't think of a time or day that he can go where ever he wanted and enjoy the simple things in life. " I think you just persuaded me Selena, and I think I will take that one lady out for dinner and hope she likes opera" Selena beamed " Oh I am sure she will" she smiled. When they got to the car they saw Bruce passed out in the backseat and laughed about it, as they put the things away in the trunk getting ready to go
