AN: Okay, this one is in the Joker's POV just so we can get an insight as to what he thinks about Lara!
Chapter 4
Thoughts: Joker's POV
"That's nice…Jack." She replied, before leaving. I watched her go with a crooked smile on my misshapen face. When the door slammed closed, that's when I went completely insane. I leapt to my feet with a scream of mirth. I just stood there, laughing my head off. When I had finished, I sat back down, and crossed my arms, thinking furiously about what I was going to do.
For some damn reason, I couldn't get that stupid girl out of my head. Was it because she reminded me of Rachel? True, I had thought Rachel was beautiful, and I admitted I had had somewhat of an obsession with her for a while. However, that didn't mean I was in love with her! Nuh-uh, no way! Lara just for some reason reminded me of her. I did actually regret seeing Rachel die. I had secretly been hoping that Batboy was going to save her, and not that dammed Harvey. Honestly, I was glad he had died, and with a hideous face at that! Hee hee! He deserved it that godammed son of a – but that didn't matter now. All that mattered was how I was starting to feel about Lara.
Feelings towards other people had never been something I usually expressed. It was difficult for me to be honest. Even when I was a child, I never said "I love you," to my mother, and definitely not my father, the Bastard… Anyway, I had never really been able to show how I felt about anyone. Why now was I starting to get these feelings? And why for her of all people? I mean, come on! Lara? Geez… She hated me anyway, since she was always calling me names. Well, sticks and stones baby! Sticks and stones…
What was I going to do? And why the hell did I say, "I enjoy your company too…" Ugh! What am I? Some kind of sap? No, this isn't a big deal. I just need a distraction! Yeah…that'll work! I searched frantically around for something to distract me. I found a hair elastic on the floor. It was the one that Lara had used to tie her hair back.
I snatched it up and started to twist it around my fingers, trying to get my mind off of Lara. I twisted it around into many different shapes and after a few moments, I found I was cutting off my circulation in my finger. I poked my tongue out, and threw the elastic across the cell. I sat down on my bench, and crossed my arms, pouting. Well this sucks! I thought in mild annoyance. I need something else! My makeup! Yeah! Wait, damn! Where is it? I'll have to ask Lara tomorrow to buy me some…NO! Dammit! Why do I keep thinking about her! Am I…obsessed? No, that can't be it! I'm not obsessed! I stood up and walked over to the elastic, picking it up and holding it in the palm of my hand. After a moment of staring at it, I lifted it to my nose and took a long breath in. It smelled just like her…like her perfume.
"Oh wow," I muttered, tossing the elastic across the room again, "I am obsessed. I'm surprised I could say that with a straight face too! Hee hee…" I then cracked up completely. "Hee hee hee! I'm obsessed with a girl! Oh ho ho ha ha! Why am I laughing? This isn't funny! Well, actually it kinda is!" I fell to the floor gasping for air as I laughed. God this was funny! And yet not…
"Damn." I stated it simply, out of mild annoyance, "Well Lara baby, it looks like you have a new admirer! Get ready for the time of you life!" I sat down, straightened my tie, and a slow grin spread across my face. "I can't wait for tomorrow!"
AN: Okaaaay… Yeah that was fun! Muaha. I know it was short, but I just wanted you guys to get the idea of how he felt about her. I don't think she has realized yet how she feels about him. All she really sees him as right now is something to occupy her when she's bored. Yeah, nice eh? Well, it looks like the Joker and Lara are in for quite the session together in the next chapter!
