PG-13 Chapter 12: Summer Rain/Confessions III

"Alesha, look its....its Bruce Wayne!" said one of the two female bartenders. The other girl looked at the front of the long stage and saw the infamous Bruce Wayne surrounded by three dancers and four other handsome gentlemen. "You think we have chance?" "Well he's here isn't he?" The girls continued their planning while Bruce tried to have some 'fun' with his friends. "Sit back and enjoy what ya got! Bend over girl and show me that tattoo!" said the shouting young man he had known as Flash. "As much as I hate to admit it, the kid's right. You two have got to loosen up! Look Shayera's expecting and im not bothered." said John. One of the strippers had just landed in Clark's lap. "Lighten up. I'm beginning to think you don't like me." she began grinding across his groin. Clark looked over to Bruce who was faking a smile for the women who seemed to know who he was. And as the music changed the women left and the two female bartenders came walking over to the group. "Enjoying your evening gentlemen?" said the shorter one who came to Bruce's chin. Flash ran toward the two and jumped in front of Bruce in between the three. "Well, yes we are, but it would be so much better if you two were to join us." he winked and one of the girls giggled while the other kept her attention on Bruce. "Mr. Wayne this is my number, and I'd love it for you to join me at the bar." Bruce looked at the rest of his friends and they all smiled holding back their laughs at how they all knew she had no chance. Bruce had turned back around but not before winking at the others. "I would love to have a few drinks with you." He got out of his seat just as the music came back on. Tonight had seemed to be a good night for Flash, as he started walking upstairs quickly looking back with a giant smile spreading across his face. "Looks like he's enjoying himself." said John. "Yes, Flash seems quite happy tonight. Clark is there a problem?" the Martian said showing a very confused look on 'his' face. "No, I was just wondering what Lois is doing tonight." "If she's smart she'll be having fun, unlike someone. Bruce seems to be getting over it, and you'll still have a woman by the end of the week."said Lantern. Clark smiled at the two and said "Then let my last day, be a good one." "Thats what I like to hear. Drinks for everyone! Tonight will be a night to remember. And while the three of them drank, Bruce had some mental fun.

"So whats the world's most hottest bachelor doing in a strip club?" said Alesha who was sadly falling into the dark eyes of Bruce. "Well im here to wash away my pain. I didnt take advantage of being in a relationship and now im a bachelor..again." "I love you...." "Excuse me?" "Im sorry, I let something slip." The girl startled out of her seat and ran towards her friend and pulled her into the restroom. "Its not a good thing to chase women away from you Bruce." said the familiar voice of the man of steel. "Im keeping my options open."Bruce said with a slight smirk. "She'll be at the wedding Bruce. I hope your prepared, she might not want to hear it." Clark finished. "Whatever happens, happens." And as time went on the four men and Flash had a good time and eventually left, mostly due to Clark's complaining of needed rest. As Alfred drove the slick wet roads back to Wayne Manor, Bruce sat and drowned himself in a river of questions.

What if she never forgives me? Will I get over her? Is that possible?

"Sir, we have arrived back at the manor." said Alfred taking Bruce out of his now frequent trances. ".....Thank you Alfred. I'll get out myself." Once the two got inside Bruce was determined to take a long hot shower. That was until the doorbell rang. The buzzer to the intercom went off in his ear and he waited before answering. "Yes Alfred?" "You have an late night visitor sir." "Yes, who is it?" "A miss Diana sir."Bruce's face went from tired to almost ecstatic. "Im on my Alfred, hold her here......." Bruce through on a robe and ran downstairs. As he reached the landing he saw the beautiful princess looking back at him with the smile he had learned to love. "Its good to see you Diana. I've missed you...." And he was cut off my her voice that rose after every word... "MISSED ME! YOU MISSED ME ENOUGH TO FLIRT WITH SOMEONE AT A STRIP CLUB!" "DIANA LISTEN! IT WASN'T LIKE THAT! THE GUYS SAID I NEEDED TO GET OVER YOU! NO MATTER HOW MUCH I ARGUED WITH THEM. And even when I tried I couldn't get you off my mind, because I love you. And im hoping you'll give me another chance to be completely honest." "I wish I could, I was ready to forgive but...." "BUT WHAT, DIANA I LOVE YOU." he yelled. "Why must you play with my heart, when I gave it all. Its tearing me part, all had to do was to tell the truth but you waited till I loved you!." "How the hell was I going to tell you if you didnt love me!? Tell me you love me now, and not in the past. I took me all my life to realize whether your looking into the past or the future you'll always get lost, and the only thing that matters is now. So do you love me now, and I don't want to hear I did, I want to hear yes or no!"Diana stood there watching Bruce, looking him and herself over for feelings, and then she finally spoke "....................."

AN: Sorry for the cliffhanger, I kinda like those, anyway I've decided that chapter 13 will be the last for this part of the story. Thanks to all who reviewed both times.
