Chapter 54: Old Flames & New Beginnings

My alarm rings and I quickly hit the snooze button, I am still exhausted from Gar's birthday party yesterday. After sitting in bed for another 10 minutes I finally get up and get ready for today. School was starting next week and I still had plenty to do. I get up and go to my bathroom to brush my teeth, shower and get dressed for today. After I finish showering I slip on some shorts and a tank to quickly put on my shoes and brush my hair.

I grab my purse and run downstairs, "Bye Mom!" I yell.

"Whoa, where's the fire?" my mom asks.

"I overslept, I'm supposed to go shopping with Bee today and I want to surprise Richard and take him out to lunch", I say.

"That sounds nice, I hope you have fun", my mom says.

"Thanks", I say, "I was hoping that I could borrow you debit card for some new school clothes", I plead.

My mom frowns, "Do you think I'm made of money?" she asks.

"Yes, isn't that what MOM stands for", I say and laugh.

My mom rolls her eyes, "Very funny Kori", she says, "You can use it but you have a fifty dollar budget", she says.

"Works for me, thanks mom!" I say and kiss her cheek, "Bye"; I say and leave the house.

I get in my car and start the drive to Wayne Enterprises; I park my car and enter the building. The receptionist immediately recognizes me and hand me a visitors pass. I go to the elevators and click the button to Richard's floor.

The elevator opens and I walk out and head toward Richard's office, as I approach his office I freeze as I see Richard in his office with a very pretty blonde girl sitting on his desk as she talks to Richard I notice her, pushing out her chest too much, she laughs and flip her hair back and leans a little too close to Richard.

I walk toward his office in fury and open the door, Richard and the mysterious chick are still oblivious that I am in the room, I clear my throat, and Richard and the girl turn to me and look surprise.

"Kori, I was expecting you to stop by today", Richard says.

"Well, I thought I would surprise you but I didn't know I had to make an appointment to see my boyfriend", I say bitterly.

"Oh Richard", the girl says as she gets up and pulls her too short skirt down, "I didn't know you have a girlfriend", she says as she looks at me up and down with a disgusted look on her face.

"Yes he does", I say, "Your fake plastic butt was sitting in front of my photo", I say and smirk.

The girl face twitches in anger and I raise an eyebrow challenging her to a comeback.

Richard clears his throat, "Maybe we should talk later Alexa", he says.

"Ok", she says and gives me one last evil look before turning to Richard, "See you late Dick", she says and winks seductively as she sashes' out of the room.

I fold my arms together, "So, what's going on with you and that whore?" I ask.

Richard shakes his head, "Nothing Kori, she is just an old friend", he says.

"Old friends huh please, she practically wanted to jump your bones before I walked in", I say.

Richard sighs, "We hooked up a couple of times, but that was ancient history", he says.

"Not to her", I say and frown.

Richard sighs, "Kori, there's nothing to worry about", he says, "So what do you have planned for us today?" he asks.

"Nothing, just forget", I say and leave his office without another word.


I drive to the mall still pissed; I park my car, get out and slam the door shut in frustration. My phone rings its Richard calling, I hit ignore and walk toward the mall, I make my way to the food court and meet Bee and Rachel in front of the pizza parlor.

"Hey Kori!" Bee says.

"Hey", I grumble.

"Whoa, what's wrong with you?" Rachel says.

"Probably PMS", Bee says.

"If you mean PMS as in Pissed off at Men Syndrome than yes", I say.

"Uh oh, I have a feeling we are going to need to sit down for this one", Bee says.

We order our pizza and sit down at one of the tables.

"So spill", Bee says.

"I went to Richard's office to surprise him and there was some leggy-big chested blonde in his office", I say, "She was totally flirting with him and practically wanted to jump his bones", I say.

Bee shakes her head, "That hussie", she says.

"I know right and she acted all innocent, like she didn't know Richard had a girlfriend even though she was clearly sitting in front of one of my pictures on his desk", I say.

"Wow", Bee says.

"What did Richard do?" Rachel asks.

"Nothing really, he said they were old friends but they had hooked up a couple of times in the past but that it was ancient history", I say.

"What do you think?" Rachel asks.

I sigh, "I don't know…I'm so tired of all these surprise visits from girls of Richard's pasts", I say.

"Yea, I would be too", Bee says.

"It's not like he can stop it Kori, Dick is good looking, rich and powerful there are always going to be gold diggers around", Rachel says.

"I know, I know, it just it makes me feel…..insecure, like one of his past girlfriends are going to come in and steal him away from me", I say.

"That's ridiculous", Bee says.

"Yea, besides none of those girls where his actually girlfriends, they were just hookups", Rachel says.

"I think you need to talk to Richard and tell him how you feel", Bee says.

I sigh, "I will, but right now I just want to shop and eat my feelings", I say and Bee and Rachel laugh.


I leave the mall and decide to call Richard, "Kori! Listen I'm sorry I —"he starts to say but I interrupt him.

"Listen can we talk", I say.

"Sure, come by the Manor", he says.

"Ok, I will be there soon", I say and hang up the phone.

I reach Wayne Manor and walk up the huge steps and knock on the door.

Richard opens the door and lets me in, "Hey", he says and I notice a worried look on his face.

"Hi", I say.

"You still want to talk", he says.

"Yea you mind if we talk in your room", I say.

"Ok", Richard says.

We reach Richard's room and I flop on the bed and Richard sits down next to me.

"I'm sorry for what happened at the office today", he says, "Kara crossed the line, she was being too flirty I should have seen it", he says.

"It's ok", I say, "I guess I overreacted", I say, "It's just that when I see you with your past hookups I feel a bit insecure", I say.

"What?" Richard says.

I sigh, "I'm always afraid that one day one of them is going to steal you away from me", I say.

"That never going to happen Kori", he says and reaches for my hand, "I never cared about them at all Kori", he says.

"I'm madly in love with you and see myself spending the rest of my life with you", he says.

Tears start to form in my eyes, "Really", I say.

"Yes", Richard says.

"That's so sweet", I say and wipe the tears in my eyes.

Richard runs his thumb across my cheek, "Why are you crying?" he asks.

"Because I am so unbelievably happy right now", I say and laugh.

Richard smiles, "That's how I feel everyday when I'm with you", he says.

I smile and lean in and give him a kiss, "I love you", I say.

"I love you too", he says, "Do you want to spend the night here?" he asks.

"What?" I ask surprised.

"I want you to spend the night with me, I just want to hold you and not let you go", he says.

"I wish I could but my parents would never let me do that", I say.

"I'll take care of that", he says, "All you have to do is say yes", he says.

I smile, "Yes", I say.

Richard smiles and asks Rachel to cover for me, Richard and I end up talking and watching movies. It starts getting late, I start to change to one Richard old t-shirts and use one of his spare toothbrushes to brush my teeth. I then climb into bed with Richard he wraps his arm around me and holds me close as I drift off into a peaceful slumber.
