Chapter 4 (Dizzy Date)
True to his word Bruce called Selina at noon, the very next day. It rung for what seemed like hours, finally he heard a crash on the other end, "Selina?" He asked nervously. He heard another loud crash on the other end. Then he heard the distinctive sound of someone grabbing for the phone, also a meow that was undeniedably Mr. Squeakers.
"Hel--- cough cough –lo?" Selina answerd.
"Selina are you ok?"
"Yeah I'm fine.. I'm afraid that you interrupted my cat nap, I dropped the phone, then I fell off my bed."
"Oh sorry to wake you…"
"Actually I'm glad you called… I was wondering, do you think you could come over tonight? I'll make dinner…"
"Selina, that sounds great! Uh... What time?"
"How about 5?"
"Alright then, see you at 5…"
For the rest of the day Bruce went around humming love songs loudly and pretty off key. Finally Alfred caught him doing a bellhop kick down the hallway, "Seeing Selina again sir?"
"Er… Yes Alfred, she's making me dinner…"
"Interesting…"
"Do you think I should get her something?"
"Like a hostess gift? Well sir I believe your heart is in the right place, but your 'anniversery' is only days away, if tonight goes well you could get her something really smashing."
"Good advice Alfred."
"So I suppose you'll need a ride?"
"Yep."
Alfred sighed, "I go get the car…"
So Selina and Bruce talked, and her complimented her on the meal about a thousand time, It was a relief to learn that she was an excellent cook. After dinner she grabbed Bruce's hand pulling him gently toward the door, "Lets take a walk." Bruce didn't argue but he almost swore that Mr. Squeakers glared at him. So they walked around the block, hand in handfor a while, just talking about random things that popped into their heads until… "Whoa, Bruce slow down", Selina's voice suddenly was deeper and slowed down. Her free hand covered one of her eyes, a whoozy look crossed her face.
"Selina?"
"Shh." After a pause she said, "I need to sit down."
"Selina, what's going on? Are you ok?"
"Just give me a second, it'll pass."
"What'll pass? Selina? "
"Ever have that thing were you're walking around and all of a sudden you're extremely… dizzy."
"No."
"Bruce…Don't-don't look at me like that… It's normal, it runs in my family or something."
"Selina, I think you should go to a doctor."
"It's over, I'm fine."
"Selina you don't look fine." Selina's pale complexion had gone even paler.
"I'm telling you, I'm fine, now help me up."
Reluctently Bruce helped her up, "I don't think this is normal Selina… How often does this happen?"
"It's perfectly normal… Sometimes you just get up to fast and, all of a sudden you're dizzy. Happens all the time. Nothing to worry about… Lets go home." Bruce knew better to question her anymore. So he walked her home. Then they said their goodbyes, and shared a good night kiss. And he walked home.
As soon as Bruce got home he was welcomed by the Sierns, he threw on his outfit, "Who is it?"
"Catwoman.. Really sir, you just got home, can't you let the police handle it for once?"
"I could." Admitted Bruce, "But where's the fun in that?" And with that he sped off.
