The pair made their way down the stairs to the next room which was the living room. It was your standard living room but the only difference is that there a couple of paintings on the wall. In the room was a small dining table with four chair around it. A fire was of course blazing in the center of the room. Harley found it cozy and comforting. On the wall above the fire was a big flat screen TV. Harley had never seen a tv like it before. If she was lucky they'd be a shitty little one that would have little to no signal in the multiple hideouts they stayed in. Two small couches and a one person chair were situated around the fire with a coffee table in the middle. A cabinet with what Harley persumed were old family relics sat oppisite to the small dining table. In the cabinet were a old arrow head, a red dial up phone and statue head. Surronding those things was a owl mask which Harley found odd but it wasn't just your everday dress up mask, this thing was old and looked like it was from the old times of Gotham. Around the four items were other bits and pieces of other memorbillia. On the wall was shelved that held so many DVDs, she glanced over at them and shurgged her shoulders 'Guess Brucie likes to watch a film from time to time' Harley thought. Harley then walked over to the couch and plopped herseld down on it sghing loudly while doing so.
"So that stuff on display, is that like stuff that's been passed down to ya?" Harley asked motioning Bruce to sit down next to here. He saw what Harley was doing and sat next to his blonde bombshell girlfriend.
"Oh yea just stuff I've kept over time. The arrow head is from childhood. The red phone is just something thats been in my family for a long time. That statue head I found in the garden one day, thought it'd look good inside. The old owl mask was my fathers. All he ever told about that thing was that it meant you was part of some group. I never botherd to ask further because it was non of my buisness". Bruce explained to Harley before Harley snuggled up to him. He grabbed a blanket from the other side of the couch and wrapped it around Harley.
"Who's gun is that on the wall?". Harley asked while taking a quick glance at an old gun on the wall in a display case.
"Thats Alfred's from his military days, I put it up for him". Bruce explained smiling down at a cute Harley.
"Thats cool, I've never seen an old gun like that before". Harley exclaimed. Of course she had seen a gone before, Harley had many guns and many different types of guns. It is true, she had never seen a gun like that before.
"Yup, very so you want to get that chinese orded and a movie put on?". Bruce asked knowing Harley was hungry. He was intrested to see what kind of movie Harley would choose.
"I sure am Brucie". Harley said with a big smile on her face. She also rubbed her stomach in response like a child would in a playful way.
"Well here's a menu and the phone. You know where the movies and DVD player is. Order what ever you want Harley and I'll just have crispy chilli chicken with Singapore Fried rice and Singapore noodles, you can get whatever you want". Bruce passed Harley the chinese menu and the phone. The chinese place was called 'Bowl Of China'.
"Ok, I'll remember that babe. Choose a movie would you please". Harley quickly replied and began looking through the menu.
"Sure thing my beautiful queen". Bruce shrugged as he replied to Harley. He then got up off the couch and made his way over to the shelves of DVDs. Bruce Began to go through the DVDs however it didn't take him long until he found a movie both him and Harley was sure to like. The DVD case read 'John Wick'. Looking at the cover Bruce assumed it was a action film.
"Looks like yer settled on a film, that didn't take yer too long". Harley noticed Bruce was looking a DVD case, she then turned her attention back to the menu.
"Yup, it's called John Wick and I think its a action film. Is that alright with you Harley?". Bruce asked, he wanted to make sure Harley didn't mind action films before he put it on.
"I love me a action film, I hope yer right Bruce". Harely grinned like a child at the cinema. Action and comedy movies were Harley's two favourite types of movies.
"I can't fault you Harls, I like a good action movie myself". The Billionaire said. He opened the case and took the DVD out. Bruce walked over to the DVD player and put the film in. Luckily there was no play menu and the film played straight away. Thats when he noticed Harley squinting in the corner of his eye. Bruce's brain clicked as it took him back to Harley's days as Harleen Quinzel, she wore glasses. Bruce smiled widely and sat back down on the couch next to Harley.
"Harley, remember you used to wear glasses. Maybe you still need them". Bruce stated looking at Harley struggling to read the menu.
"Huh, yea I forgot about that". Harley jolted up in suprise at what he said. Bruce's deep voice caught Harley off guard. She also noticed the movie was on aswell and returned to the menu with the phone in her other hand.
"Here, these are yours from your Arkham days Harls, I had Alfred fetch them earlier for you when I noticed you struggling". Bruce put a red glasses case in Harley's lap. Harley looked down in suprise in awe that he still had her old glasses.
"Where did yer get these from?". Harley asked, her voice trembling a little bit from shock.
"Your glasses are what gave you away when you broke... well you know out of Arkham. That and you weren't accounted for when it happened. They were just part of the evidence that forgot to give back to Jim after examining them. The case and cloth I brought just to protect them".
"Wow, yer kept my glasses all those years and I like the case very much". Harley's mouth was wide open as she took out the glasses from her new case. Harley examined them and she found it amazing that they looked like she had just brought them.
"Yup, I'm glad you like your new case for them".
"Now I can order us some food without gettin' pissed off because I can't read the menu". Harley happily put on the glasses with a big smile on her face and returned to what she was originally doing, ordering food.
"You certainly can and you look great in those glasses". Bruce put his feet up on the coffee table as he did he noticed Harley roll her eyes and smile. The billionaire playboy chuckled and smiled back at the former jester. Just as Bruce was going to say something else Harley rang the chinese place and demaded she had silence. Just then the phone was picked by a guy who works at the takeaway place.
"Hello, I'd like to place a order for delivery please".
"Ok, go ahead ma'am".
"I can have, one crispy chilli beef, one Singapore fried rice, one Singapore chow mein, one special fried rice, one chicken in peking sauce, one sweet and sour chicken balls, one salt and pepper chips, one Ribs please".
"Will that be all ma'am?".
"Yup".
"Your order comes to $38.56 and what is your name and adress?".
"Harley Quinn and Wayne Manor. I'm pretty sure you know where that is". Harley heard someome in the background of the phone of the guy spit out their drink, this caused her to almost laugh but she managed to contain it.
"Thank you, your food will be there in about half an hour ma'am.
"Bye". Harley ended the call and finally started laughing which caused bruce to look at Harley with a cocked eyebrow.
"Whats so funny Harls?". Bruce asked looking confused at Harley.
"When I said Wayne Manor, someone on the otherside of the line spat their drink out". Harley giggled like a school girl while climbing into bruce's lap and snuggling into his chest with the blanlet wrapped around her.
"That is pretty funny". Bruce wrapped his arms around his beautiful bombshell of a girlfriend.
"I guess ya don't have takeaway food very often". Harley asked as she turned her head towards the tv. The film had got to the point where John was talking to the guys in the fuel station.
"Nope, not very often at all and speaking of food, Thanksgiving is in just over one week, ten days to be precise. Thursday 28th. We need to go shopping for that, the family will be here and maybe even the league". Bruce rubbed Harley's shoulder with a smile on his face. It was gonna be fun cooking all that food for everyone, Harley would certainly enjoy it.
"Oh its gonna be amazing. I get ta have a proper Thanksgivin' again". Harley's baby blue eyes lit up like fireworks on the 4th of July.
"I know it will be, we'll probably go shopping at the weekend. Bruce smiled down at a very excited Harley.
"No, we will be going shopping at the weekend". Harley scoffed playfully. Even if she had to drag Bruce with her, they will be going at the weekend.
"Alright, Harley we will be going shopping at the weekend. I'll you what, you make a list. This year its what you want". The tall hansome man chuckled as he leaned his chin gently and softly on Harley's head.
"Good, thats what this gal likes ta hear". Harley smiled happily to herself knowing that it'll be her style.
"Now we going to watch the movie and wait for our food?". He asked while resting his hands in Harley's lap. Harley's own hands holding his.
"Yup...THE ASSHOLES KILLED HIS PUPPY!!!". Harley screamed this at the top of her voice causing to have the fright of his life. Bruce could of sworn that his heart came out his chest. In all his life both as Bruce and Batman he had never been made jump like that. Even seemed unfazed and just popped his head around the corner with a cocked eyebrow, figure his years in the military made him a hard man to make jump.
"Holy shit Harley, inside voice. I swear my heart came out my chest. Yes sadly that happend, watch and see what happens next instead of yelling in protest". Bruce did a 'bring it down' motion with his hand as he spoke to Harley. The blonde woman was about to protest more about what had just happened when the door bell rand. Bruce was happy food arrived just at the right time. At that moment Harley quickly got up and skipped over to the front and opened. On the other side of the door a very suprised delivery guy with a box of chinese food in his arm. Harley happily grabbed the box of food in exchanged she gave the man the money to pay for the food. With that the delivery guy waved goodbye and turned and left. Harley closed the door and skipped back to Bruce with the box of food in her arms. Alfred had already brought in plates along with knives and forks.
"Do enjoy your night Master Wayne and Ms Quinn". Alfred finshed off before leaving the room again.
"Don't worry mistah A we will". Harley smiled and waved at the British butler as she placed the food on the coffee table. Alfred returned to Harley with a small smile.
Bruce put a plate in front of Harley as he started putting all the tubs of food on the table Along side the prawn crackers that came free with your order.
"Sure is a lot of food Bruce". Harley gazed at all the food on the table and smiled up at him, her light blue glistening eyes met with Bruce's own eyes.
"Yup, we don't have to eat it all though. Whatever we don't eat can just be put in the fridge for whenever you're hungry. Bruce smiled at the beautiful blonde that sat next to him.
"yer certainly right about that". Left over takeaway is the best". Harley began taking off the lids to the food. The smell of the food filled the room, it wasn't no sunday dinner but it was sure a great smell, the different foods that gave off different smells. Each danced around the room like they were in at one of the many events Bruce went to and well now Harley would now be attending.
"Well load up yer big dummy". It was then Harley took a quick glance at the TV and noticed that revenge was happening as John Wick began taking down the guys that returned to his house to "finish" the job. Harley lightly nudged Bruce and pointed to the TV as she put half of her special fried rice on her plate along side the ribs and a few chicken balls that were already on Harley's plate.
"Well you know what they say Harls, Karma is a Bitch. Even I wouldn't want to fight John Wick". Bruce finished putting his food on his plate and turned back to the TV.
"That's right, I should know". Harley giggled at Bruce's facial expression. It was the face of strong agreement and rolling eyes. After all it was Bruce that delt Harley the karma.
"You're not wrong about that". Harley's hansome man chuckled a little and continued to eat his food which was disappearing pretty fast. Harley on the other hand just sunk her teeth into a rib, she wasn't going to let any of the meat on it get away.
"This food is good". Harley's muffled voice spoke as her mouth was full of food.
"It sure is but you know not to eat with your mouth full". Bruce took a salt and pepper chip off Harley's plate and ate it, grinning the whole time.
"Hey, can we just watch the movie". Harley said frowing at Bruce. She wasn't happy about him taking her food off her plate.
"Of course, it looks as if we're getting to the good parts anyway". Bruce looked at the TV noticing John Wick was tied to a chair giving a badass speech.
"Yer know he's about to kick ass now after what he just said". Harley clapped her hands rather excited about what was about to happen. Before long the action had started. The whole time Harley was scoffing her food.
"It's going to be great hopefully". Bruce and Harley were both into the whole revenge thing and was hoping that would be the after the puppy died which was the last gift from John's wife in the movie. Both Bruce and Harley were so into the movie that nothing more was said between the two until close to the end of the movie about 20 minutes later. The final fight had started by this point. Again not a word was said through out the entire fight. Harley did worm her way into sitting in Bruce's lap though and of course his arms were wrapped around her waist, his hands rested in Harley's lap.
"Awe he's got a new dog". Harley sighed happily as she turned around to face Bruce. She still wore her glasses.
"yup, that was a great movie, its your turn to chose a movie now Harls". Harley nodded her head in response to what Bruce was saying. With that she got up and went to look through all the DVD's and until she found a film she wanted to watch, Harley had gone for a comedy film by the name of 'Pineapple Express". She had seen the film before a loved it, Harley gracefully put the disc in the DVD player and smoothly skipped back to Bruce and sat back in his lap only to he caught in his arms place so she was sat in his lap facing him, her legs wrapped around his lower back. She felt a warm hand place itself on her rosy red cheek and noticed bruce smiling down at her, his thumb gently stroking Harley's cheek.
"Harley, I love you". Those words, those three big words every woman dreams of hearing. Harley couldn't belive it, she couldn't belive what she was hearing, Harley's heart melted and she blushed turing her cheeks bright red. Not even The Joker had said this to her during the years she was with him, at least not the way Bruce had said it. To Joker it was a way of getting Harley to crawl back to him, of course he never meant it but bruce, he meant it. Harley could see it, feel it, hear it. Harley has something special with Bruce and she knew it.
"Bruce, I love you too". With no more said, the pair locked lips in a passionate embrace that summed up their night really. Love just pure love.

*I'm so sorry for being really late with this. At first it was delayed because of the extreme heat last weekend, it just knocked it out of me. Then I had a little medical issue which is now being sorted. I've also been pretty busy but I'm back now and to make it up to you all I've made this chapter really long. In fact it's the longest chapter I've done so far. I'm still pretty busy so expect further delays on future chapter but I'm not stopping with this story. Thanks for the support and I hope you enjoy this chapter. Also a side note, the food it actual food from a place I myself order from apart from the ribs one, the name is made up aswell. Also I chose those movies because I don't know anyone who doesn't like them.*
