The library was busy. Numerous co-workers chatted about the new center congratulations that I was forced to wave my hands and explain I had little to do with the rendering. I re-shelved books and checked the usual suspects out one by one. By noon I was famished.
I took my brown bag out of the company fridge and un-wrapp my tuna on wheat. I sit my Macintosh apple out and mini carton of milk. I couldn't keep my mind off of Bruce. I reach into my blazer pocket and pulled out my cell. I flipp his business card over and dialed.
A cheery female voice picks up after only one ring welcoming me to Wayne Enterprises and asking how she can be of service. I ask to speak to Bruce Wayne. She nicely responds that he was in a meeting but would forward the message to him. I gave my name and she said one moment Ms. Kyle and I am sorry to have kept you waiting then after a signal of beeps Bruce's masculine voice answered "Selina, How are you?" I sat my tuna sandwich down and said I was sorry to interrupt his meeting. " Not a problem we were just wrapping up." I explained that I had read the paper. "I hope you are not angry with over the publicity ?" I laughed "It's wonderful! I couldn't be mad at something so needed. I just don't think it was fair to add my name in." "Nonsense. If it were not for you I would never considered in doing it. You opened my eyes to another need of this city,for its people." "You know how difficult their lives are how this can greatly improve their welfare." "Yes. but well. I wish I had thought of it. "You did in a way Selina and now we can see it through together." "Yes. That sounds good." "we can talk more on it on our date tomorrow " he whispers. "Yes. I am looking forward to it Bruce. "As am I, Selina." "Good-bye" "Good-bye." I flip the cell phone and took a big bite of my sandwich then take a swig of milk. A wide Cheshire grin spreads across my glowing face.
I arrive back home and played my message while feeding the cats. It was Holly asking me how I was and that she wanted to come by and check on me this weekend. I punched the off button and reached down to pet the cats. I walk to the bedroom and slip of my blazer, top, slacks and heels. I let the clip out of my long hair and let it fall. I was restless. I grab some sweat pants and a old torn cotton t-shirt that read cats and threw it on. I race to the roof as the sun was setting and practice my martial arts. I practice some kicks,punches and flips. My audience mewed with approval sitting on the roof 's edge. I grab some old soup cans and crack my whip a couple rounds causing the cans to spin off the ledge . I was bored. I needed some fun. I was itching for some prowling.
Just a peek I reasoned in my head as I giggle down the stairs and grab my vinyl catsuit from a box on the top shelf of my closet. I toss it on the bed and three cats toss their heads from side to side as if to say bad idea.
