Well, hello, everyone!
I finally got time to sit down and write. I apologize for taking so long, but I've been really busy with some other stuff and designing both the blue dress featured in the next chapter and the wedding dress. Yes, this story is going to have, at least, two more chaps! : )
Now, here is the next one. I've ended in a different way than you might like, but it'll make the story longer and, also, I didn't feel like I could have ended this chapter in another way. So, sorry if you're dissapointed. It was a necessary evil. (get the joke?)
Here it is. Enjoy and then you know you have to review... )
Chapter 10:
Selina stood there, still in her whole Cat-suit. The only thing that gave away that she had picked a dress was the white paper bag she was holding in one hand. Bruce was looking at her with the same look she had got used to after time. Love. At first, she had been scared to death of those looks. The first time he had looked at her like that, she had seriously almost ran away. Of course, Mr. Detective had discovered her and convinced her to stay, to wait and see what would happen between them...To see if she could one day mimic the same look towards him.
And she had. Every single morning when she woke up and found him deep asleep. Each moment they had shared... Every single time she saw him it was like the first time she had finally realised she loved him.
And now, here he was, with his Bat-suit on just for her, looking at her with those deep, mysterious, brown eyes. She smiled widely at him. "Hi, handsome."
This seemed to wake him up from his 'yupi-world'. He smiled back and talked, to her surprise, in his bat-voice. "Hello, beautiful."
She walked over to him. "Okay, you've let me on a chase through all of Rome...for what? I do want to believe that you've had a really good reason to get a girl out of bed for this." She didn't say it in a bad way...Just as the usual, curious, cat-person she was.
Bruce suddenly seemed to be quite uncomfortable. He stopped looking at her and instead looked at the magnificent view behind her. "Ah...Well, I-Selina, look, I..." Selina was getting a bit worried. Bruce never stumbled in his words. It was a playboy skill. He had only done that once before, and it had been when he'd asked her on their first official date. Her instinct told her this was something important.
She brought her hand up to his mask covered cheek. She spoke with real concern in her voice and eyes. "What's wrong, Bruce?"
He looked back in to her brown eyes. To Bruce, suddenly, he felt no more fear of asking her. He could just see why he wanted to ask her, why he'd done this hunt the whole day. Just her. He took a deep breath and took both of Selina's hands into his own before he lifter one of them to start taking of Selina's mask and goggles. "I want to ask you something, 'Lina. And I want to do ask it to both Selina Kyle and Catwoman as I want to ask it as both Bruce Wayne and Batman." He took of his own mask and left both on the ground next to them. Selina was now really confused. He took both of her hands in his again.
" Selina...I've known you for a lon while now, and still, each day feels like the first time I saw those beautiful brown eyes and those full red lips. You've saved my life and you've taught that not everything is black and white, that there is grey in between. I love you...And I cannot imagine a life without you in it anymore. Without your smiles, your wit...So, now that I've finally found my half..." Bruce knelt in front of her while Selina's eyes were wide with a mix of emotions. " Selina Anne Kyle...Will you do me the great honor of spending the rest of your life with me and be my wife?"
Selina stared down at him, her brown eyes filled with tears, her hands trembling...
She knew the answer. She had known it all along.
Are you mad at me? Sorry if you are. In any case, please review and I hope to see ya next time! : )
