Because I couldn't resist...
Bruce ended up taking me to Italy where he was supposed to go with Selina. I preferred it when he took me. It was strange to be somewhere other than Gotham and know that we didn't plan on going back there.
So far, Bruce had taken me to see the Colosseum, the Pantheon, the Sistine Chapel, and the Leaning Tower of Pisa. I had never been overseas before except for when we went to Hong Kong (but there hadn't been time for sight-seeing on that one), so getting to see all these cool places was really incredible. Plus, I was seeing them with Bruce Wayne. If that doesn't make sight-seeing a thousand times better, I don't know what does!
Bruce was apparently only well-known in Gotham City. Hardly anyone recognized him at all, and if they did, they certainly didn't let on that they did. I can't even begin to explain how refreshing that was. People were always snapping pictures of Bruce and me together and it was so annoying. To be able to finally walk around in public without having to worry about cameras was very, very nice.
Eventually, we found ourselves in Florence, and I had a pretty good idea why Bruce brought us here.
Bruce was wearing a white undershirt with a light purple shirt overtop of it and it took all I had to not fangirl at just how amazingly attractive he looked in that.
"I've got a present for you," he said to me as we waited for a table. He gave me a small box and when I opened it, I gasped at the sight of a gorgeous pearl necklace.
"Your mother's necklace?"
"She would've wanted you to have it."
"Thank you."
I turned around and he fastened it around my neck. I was probably bright red, but I really didn't care anymore.
One of the waiters came and sat us down at a table. I ordered something small when I noticed Bruce looking past me. And I knew exactly what he was looking at.
I turned around myself and sure enough, Alfred sat at a table not too far from us. I smiled broadly at him and he smiled back at me. It must've been six or seven months since I saw him last and to just be able to get that glimpse was perfect.
"You made his fantasy come true," I said to Bruce as I turned back around. "Shall we make it even better?" I gently kissed him across the table and I could only imagine how Alfred felt about that, seeing as he totally shipped us and all since Batman Begins.
"You know what?" I whispered. "You made my fantasy come true too."
He smiled at me and kissed me again. He would never know just how much he had made my fantasy real. But to the both of us, all that mattered was that we loved each other.
