I just had to carry on and write another chapter because I love you all :D I hope you enjoy and I do not own any Batman characters *sob* but I do own Aura :) I had to make a tough decision here and let one of these gorgeous men go and the other be with Aura :( However not to worry my darling readers he will be happy enough with my other OC character who I may or may not introduce in this chapter ;) Or maybe he will choose my OC and Aura won't have to say goodbye, ahhh guess you'll just have to find out ;) Enjoy my darlings!
Biting my lip I text Jonathan's number stating we need to talk tomorrow and as I finish the text message there is knocking at the door, there is no way Edward would have been able to get here that fast? It has only been about two minutes since we got off the phone. Frowning I open the door again and it is Edward stood at the door however with a sheepish expression across his face and in his one hand a tub of Ben and Jerry's cookie dough ice cream, grinning I motion for him to come inside and shut the door. Edward looked so nervous I couldn't help but shake my head in amusement, it should be me who is nervous not him. Taking the ice cream off him I put it in my freezer and then turn round to him.
"Hello Edward" I whisper and he gives me a shaky smile. "Before anything happens I want you to know that I do not have to forgive you as you did nothing wrong, it was all me and I understood why you left!" I mumble and look at my carpet. "I'm so sorry Edward, I didn't mean for anything to happen, I don't want to hurt either of you but I know I have to choose! It's not fair on either of you and I have been selfish!" I carry on stating facts until I feel Edward's fingers on my chin lifting my face up to meet his. His green eyes stare down into mine as he softly strokes my cheek.
"Nothing to forgive, my darling!" Sighing gently in relief I snuggle into his chest as he wraps his arms around me, it was such a gorgeous moment until someone started banging my door to the point I thought it was going to come off its hinges. Giving Edward a confused look I run to the door and throw it open with a gun behind my back expecting it to be the police, but it was just my old friend Becky, tilting my head in confusion as he rushes past me into my flat I quickly shut my door and stare at her.
"Er Becky what are you doing here? Not that I am not happy to see you darling!" I grin as her blonde locks fall past her ears in an untamed fashion but made her look absolutely adorable, Becky is an old friend from college, she is ten years older than me in her thirties but she is gorgeous and looks like a twenty year old.
"Sorry to barge in Aurora, I hope I haven't disturbed you?" She asks while eyeing Edward and then me with a sly grin, her and Jonathan would really hit it off! Shaking my head I laugh and walk over to Edward who just looks like a confused puppy. "I wouldn't have bothered you but the police were on my tail and the safest place I knew was here chick so I'll only stay till tomorrow then I'm off again!" I nodded and told her to sit down. As I went into the kitchen to get Becky a drink there was another knock on the door. Glaring at it I stomped over ready to give the person in front of it a good piece of my mind and a few bullets in their head also! I opened it with my personal death glare on my face which soon melted off it as Jonathan stepped inside and went to open his mouth to speak to me until his eyes caught Becky's figure on the sofa. I raise my eyebrows and step aside to let him fully in the flat grumbling about this being a flat not a bus station!
I walked back over to Edward, I am going to get extremely fit if I keep this walking to and fro to the front door, and watched Jonathan's face as he gazed at Becky and a smirk wormed its way on to my face, seems like a good job I had chosen Edward as I think I may already be replaced. I tugged on Edwards sleeve to get him to follow me to the kitchen and he followed still with that confused look on his face. Giggling I hug him softly and he wraps his arms around me again as I whisper into his ear:
"Before we were interrupted I was going to tell you I had chosen and it was you darling! Though I think Jonathan has moved on pretty quick don't you?" I chuckle as his face suddenly transforms into a grin and he holds me closer if it's possible.
"You don't know how happy I am my Riddle Queen!" I can't help but smile softly at this gorgeous man in front of me, though I had feelings for Jonathan I know I can't string two men along at once and Edward always had a special place in my heart with his adorableness and riddles, I don't think I could put up with Jonathan and Scarecrow! Speaking of Jonathan me and Edward both peak our heads around the corner of the kitchen and see a Miss Becky and Mr Jonathan talking seriously but obviously taken with each other until Becky asked if she could use my shower, nodding I pointed the way to her and then I sat down in front of Jonathan, time for the talk!
"Jonathan I think we need a chat." He nods and holds up a finger before I can even get started, which is good because I had no idea how on earth I was going to begin!
"Before you say anything me and Scarecrow know your heart belonged to Edward for a while now and could see how upset you were without contact from him, plus I do not think you would be able to keep up with my fear projects!" I smiled gently while nodding but then pointedly looked in Becky's direction that was now in the kitchen.
"But I think there is a woman who could keep up with you Jonathan, why don't you ask her to stay at your apartment, she needs a place for the night and here it is just too crowded!" I stated with a sly grin thrown in for good measure. A blush appeared on his face and nodded giving me a quick hug then going in the kitchen I hope to ask Becky to his! Feeling a little bit jealous I focused on Edward who was now sitting by me on the sofa giving me an unsure look.
"Are you sure you made the right decision?" I beamed at him and nodded; pleased he pulls me down so my head is resting on his lap.
"So Edward, how did you get here so fast?" I asked smirking at him as his face turned guilty; I think he had hoped I had forgotten. Hearing the front door shut we both glance around and realise Jonathan and Becky had gone, well they both sure worked fast! Giggling I lay back down on his lap and stare at him until he opens his mouth to answer my question.
"I've been, um, keeping an eye on you so I was always close, I was across the street in an apartment making sure you didn't get hurt, Jonathan was meant to be watching you at Iceberg and I see he did not do a good job" his voice turned more deep at the end of his sentence as he runs his fingers over the fading bruise on the side of my head. Biting my lip I look into his emerald eyes and cant help but smile knowing I made the right decision.
Sorry my gorgeous Scarecrow fangirls Edward had to be chosen plus I think Jonathan was always meant to end up with Becky Albright (spl?) and Edward didn't have anyone I cant help but love him and nor can Aura :P
