This chapter will be like the scene from the Dark Knight. I didn't do it on purpose, but as I was writing it, it sounded the same so I don't want to take credit for none of it, only the things that didn't happen in the movie. Enjoy.
"I'm glad you accepted my invitation," said Derek, pulling a chair out for Lily. Both have gotten closer over the past few weeks and he finally took the courage to ask her out on a date.
"I'm glad, too," said Lily, grinning. She thought Derek was sweet, but he was no Bruce. No, Lilybell Adams, you have to forget about Bruce. Remember that you two are only friends and that's it, she thought. "But, Derek, how can you afford something like this?"
"I had some money saved from work."
"No, Derek. Don't waist your money on me. I could have been satisfied if we would have gone to Burger King."
"Now, none of that. Only the best for you, Lily. I really hope you do enjoy it because it was a toughy getting a reservation here, but luckily my brother works here as a waiter."
"Yeah? Is he working tonight?" she said looking around.
"No, he went camping with the family," he said sipping some of the water.
"Why didn't you go with them?" she asked.
"Are you kidding me?" he said. "Last time I went camping, I got attacked by bees, plus I had got a serious rash in an uncomfortable place thanks to poison ivy," he said shivering. Lily burst out laughing. "Oh sure laugh at me," he said grinning.
"I'm sorry," she said after a while of calming. "I couldn't resist."
They continued to laugh and order their food, but they didn't know they were being watched by green eyes.
Bruce was working out at his gym, when his phone rang. "Hello?"
"Bruce, you have to come down to your restaurant now. Lily is here with some guy and by the looks of it they look on a date, looking very comfortable with each other. I thought you would like to know," Alex explained quickly.
"What?! Look Alex, watch them closely because I'm on my way," he said hanging up. "What the hell is Lily doing with another guy," he said angrily. "Could it be that cop?"
Bruce dialed Diana and told to get ready because he was going to take her out to dinner. Bruce held his phone back when Diana squealed yes. "God, please help me," he said starring at the ceiling.
"Lily isn't that your friend, Bruce, with that chick we saw at the hospital the other day," asked Derek.
"What?" said Lily, turning her head seeing Bruce walk over to their table. "Bruce?" she asked looking at him. Her eyes shot to Diana and she immediately glared at her. Her heart broke seeing him with her.
"Beautiful," he said smiling at her. "What a coincidence, isn't it?" he said with a bogus grin.
Lily eyed him suspiciously. "Yeah a coincidence."
"Well, I came to have dinner with my lovely date Diana," he said smirking at them.
Lily thought she was about to cry, but she just smirked back. "Well, I'm having a dinner with my date. Bruce this is Derek Parker," she said smiling at him.
"Mr. Wayne," said Derek shaking his hand.
"Why don't we all eat together? We can put a table together," he said.
"Is that allowed?" asked Derek.
"Of course, I own the place," he said motioning one of the waiters to put the two tables together.
"But, Bruce I thought we were going to have our own romantic evening together," whined Diana.
"Well, why not spend it with friends," he said sitting down next to Lily. Lily still kept giving Bruce a suspicious look. 'What are you doing?' she mouthed, but he shrugged and kept on smiling at her.
Lily scowled and turned her attention back to Derek. She was about to say something, but Bruce interrupted.
"So, Derek, Beautiful, tells me that your a cop," he said smirking.
Derek gave Lily a look. "Yes, I am Mr. Wayne."
"Please, call me Bruce."
"OK, Bruce, I'm in the Criminal Investigation Department," he said proudly.
"Ah, I see so how did you meet, Beautiful over here," he said winking at Lily, who blushed and looked away.
Derek was getting uneasy by the way Bruce was talking and looking at Lily. "I met her at her store and we've been close friends ever since," he said taking her hand and smiling at her. Lily smiled back, but felt the glare she was receiving from Bruce.
"Well, I'm close friends with, Beautiful, too."
"Why do you keep calling her that?" asked Derek angrily.
"Because she is," Bruce simply said. "Don't you think so?"
"Yes, but you act like if you liked her more than just a friend."
"What? No, my Bruce will never fall for that lard," said Diana.
"Diana," warned Bruce.
"What? She's nothing but a slut just like her mother, who stoled Lori's mother's boyfriend and then made this piece of..."
"Listen, Diana," said Lily standing. "You can say all the shit you want about me, but you respect the memory of my parents," she said fuming with anger. She was getting tiered of Diana's insults.
"Why should I," she said getting up as well. "You're just like your mother, stealing away my boyfriend, like the whore your mother was."
Lily felt a tidal wave of anger come down on her and slapped Diana hard in her face. Diana stumbled back a bit, grabbing her face. "I told you never to say shit about her ever again," said Lily with a low voice.
Diana couldn't believe that Lily just did that and neither could Bruce or Derek. The sweet flower just turned into a venomous leaf trap. Diana growled and grabbed the plate of spaghetti and poured on Lily.
Lily gasped as the food stained her dress and dirtied her hair. That got her even more pissed off and grabbed the plate of pie that was on the next table and pied her on the face.
Diana screeched out as the pie hit her. "You bitch!"
"I know I am, but at least I'm not a skank like you," she said leaving the restaurant.
"Beautiful! Wait!" Bruce said running after her. Derek watched Bruce go after Lily, making him more furious. What kind of relationship do those two have, thought Derek.
"Shank?! Shank?!" yelled Diana. Derek could swear that this girl had smoke coming out of her ears. Diana heard laughing from the people around her. "What are you guys looking at," she screamed at them throwing the rest of the food at the people around them. Derek thought she had gone insane and grabbed her, taking her outside. "Let go of me you jerk! Get your filthy hands off me!"
Derek finally had her outside and laid her on the ground. He straddled her and placed her hands above her head. "Stop it! Calm down!" he said trying to calm her down.
"Asshole, let me go immediately! Don't you know who I am?" she said struggling.
"Yeah, a crazy spoiled brat," he growled at her. Out of desperation of making her silent, he leaned down and kissed her whipped creamed lips. She struggled a bit, but quickly gave into his kiss. He let go of her hands, letting them caress his hair. Their tongues dueled as the kiss deepened. Why am I letting this guy kiss me, thought Diana. I should slap this loser for kissing me, but it feels so good.
Derek finally let go of her, out of breath. Diana had a dazed look on her face, but she her eyes widen. "Fucker!" she growled at him, slapping him. He got off her and watched her go, murmuring things to herself.
"What the hell got into you, Derek, what?" he asked himself, running his fingers through his hair.
Diana wiped her lips in disgust. "Who does he think he is kissing me?" She thought back of their kiss. "Come on, Diana, you like Bruce not that police officer," she growled. But why did I kiss back, she thought.
"Beautiful, wait up!" Lily turned her head and saw Bruce jogging to her. "Why were you with that guy, huh? Why are you on a date with him?" he said grabbing her arm.
Lily glared at him and snatch her arm off his grip. "Why were you with Diana?"
Bruce stayed quite and only stared at her. Lily rolled her eyes and started walking away from him. "OK, OK, Beautiful, wait! I was jealous," he said. Lily stopped and looked at him.
"Jealous? Of what?" she asked walking back to him.
Bruce paced nervously. "B-Because I worry about you Lily. Like I told you before, I care about you like if you were my sister," he said cupping her face.
Lily gave him a small smile. She couldn't stay angry at him and wrapped her arms around his waist. Bruce smiled and hugged her tighter. He would love to keep her in his arms forever, but he knew it was getting late and she should be getting home.
"Come on, Beautiful, let's get you home," he said smiling at her. Lily nodded and looked at his shirt.
"Oh, Bruce I stained your shirt," she said.
"Don't worry, Beautiful," he said taking her to his car. "Besides, you look cute covered in spaghetti."
Thanks for the reviews! Hope you enjoyed it!
