A/N: I'm lazy and I'm sorry this chapter took awhile. We have like 2 or 3 more chapters left and I'm warning ya'll now you will not see the ending coming and some of you are going to be very mad. I told you I would like to write a sequel but it depends on how much you think it will need one. This chapter is a filler. More Joker and Luna fluff because hey are so cute together and I love them! Also, its kind of a bit of self insert because I have a cousin who is a meanie and I have had to tell her off at family functions! Enjoy. Let me know your thoughts. Also, I dont have a beta and I proofread myself but sometimes I'm updating on my phone so I miss a lot of shit. If it kills you and your a grammar Nazi just let me know and I might go back and fix it.
angel2012- I hope you enjoyed the update.
PadfootMoniiq- Luna definitely has a dark side. She was so sick and tired of being the timid abused girl!
Pokemon Guest- This is my favorite story too, which is why i update as much as i do. I haven't worked on the other stories because well i don't get a lot of feedback. It's hard to write when no one is reading. You made me get off my lazy ass and finish this chapter up! Thank You!
MadhatterMia- Thank you for your review. I'm glad that you're enjoying this story.
xBrownEyedGirlx-I want to give you some spoilers but I can't. I know you're going to just have an open mouth when the ending comes girl. Just hold on. You know I enjoy our private little chats!
Luna stepped out of the car and eyes the 3 story plantation style home. The porch wrapped around the house on the first floor. A swing and a few chairs and benches had been placed strategically along the deck. The big massive oak trees full of moss and the tire swing was blowing in the wind. Joker began to haul the luggage out of the car.
"Why don't you go on ahead inside. I'll meet you shortly."
Luna turned and looked at J and pouted. He shook his head.
"None of that Luna."
She rolled her eyes and walked up to the house, her footsteps the only thing that could be heard. Opening the door her nose was assaulted with food. Damn she missed her grandmother's cooking. She headed straight for the kitchen. Her grandmother almost dropped the bowl of potato salad.
"Child if you don't get ova' here and come give me some love." The woman said as she set down the bowl and opened up her arms. Luna wasn't sure how long she was hugging her grandmother but the sound of the screen door opening and banging closed alerted her that Joker was supposed to be coming inside. Only it wasn't Joker. It was her 16 year old cousin Christopher.
"Grandma' there's some white mad with tattoos in the yard unloading suitcases. I think he's got the wrong…" his voice trailed off as he made eye contact with Luna.
"Luna!" He exclaimed rushing her into a hug.
"Damn boy when did you get so tall?"
Chris pulled away and smiled. Muttered something about puberty and football and working out. Luna excused herself and went outside to see what was taking J so long. Turns out he was in a deep conversation with her grandfather. Luna rolled her eyes. She loved her grandfather dearly but the man liked to talk. You could ask him a question about genetics and it would always end up about fish. Ask him about football, somehow it lead to fish. Hell you could even ask him about fishing and he would give you the rundown on every fish known to man.
Luna approached the two and smiled. Her granddaddy smiled bigger and pulled her into a hug.
"You got yourself a fine young man here Luna." Luna raised her brow up at Joker who held up his hands.
"Well pops I'm sure you can tel me how much you like him inside. I saw grandma in there struggling with a potato salad bowl."
A look of concern crossed his face and politely excused himself and headed inside. Luna turned to Joker and smiled.
"So...if you feel uncomfortable you'll let me know right?"
Joker stepped in front of Luna and placed his hands on either side of her face. He gently stroked her cheek.
"I'm fine Doll. Don't worry about me. I want to meet the rest of your family."
Luna gave him a quick peck and led him inside to meet everyone.
Joker must've met about 20 different family members. Ranging from first cousins to Aunt's, to great aunts and 2nd and third cousins. All very polite an delighted to meet him. All except one. Her cousin Denise. She had given him the fuck me eyes while making rude comments to Luna. He didn't understand why Luna didn't put her in her place but he would ask her about that later. It was time for bed and he was exhausted. They were in her childhood bedroom. Luna was in the shower and Joker figured he would look around. He picked up a photo album and flipped through the pages. He smiled looking an Luna as a teenager. Her smile reached her eyes in every picture. The more he flipped through the pages he saw her grow and age.
"Oh God no." Luna said from behind him wearing one of his t shirts. It wasn't swimming on her because Joker wasn't a large man but it reached just above her knees, and was a bit baggy. She walked over to him and sat down.
"You were cute."
"Were cute?" She asked teasingly.
Joker snickered and turned the next page. She was dressed in an elaborate gown standing next to a boy.
"Who is that?"
"That's James. Steve's brother."
Joker looked at her his eyes telling her to go on. Luna sighed.
"I dated James first. He was my first everything. He died and then Steve and I just kind of happened."
"Wait so you're telling me you have only ever been with 4 men?"
Luna looked at him a sly smile playing at her lips.
"I thought you were going to chastise me for fucking brothers, but you're more concerned with the number of men I've been with?"
Joker tossed the photo album aside and pulled Luna into his lap. His hands roaming underneath the shirt. He let out a moan when he realized that that was all she was wearing.
"I know the sinful little things your body can do Luna. I'm surprised is all." He replied as his fingers ghosted over her nipples. Luna let out a small moan. Her arms wrapping themselves around his neck.
"Mr. J, I'm starting to think you only want me for my body."
Joker ignored her words as one of his hands slipped between her legs.
"Wet already? You sure know how to boost a man's ego."
"Maybe I'm just a girl who know's what she likes."
Joker slipped a finger inside of Luna and kissed along her neck. His words making her shiver.
"Bullshit. I know what you like."
Luna began to ride his finger. Her hips doing all of the work while joker just watched as she came against him in seconds. Luna opened her eyes and looked at him sheepishly. "You cocky fucking bastard."
Luna hopped off of him and crawled underneath the blankets. Joker joined her, pulling her close like always.
"We have a long day tomorrow. I suggest you get some sleep." Luna said pressing her butt into his cock. Joker kissed her lips and whispered goodnight as they both fell asleep.
The dinner table was crowded. Every one chatting and having a good time. Joker ended up sitting next to her grandfather the two of them talking about old coins. Joker getting approvals from her granddad as he explained his own personal coin collection.
"So Luna, I heard you're working as the head ICU nurse at a hospital in Gotham." Luna's eyes flickered to her older cousin Denise. God she hated that bitch. Luna smiled tightly and nodded her head.
"Yes ma'am. Had to take a small leave of absence but I'll be back soon." Hoping that would make her cousin move along and chit chat someone else up,Luna put a piece turkey in her mouth and chewed.
"You look fine to me. Why did you take a leave of absence especially so soon after starting your new position. You know at Clint's office he would've fired you." Her cousin replied smugly. Joker gently patted her knee to let her know that he was there if she needed him. Luna took a sip of her water and then set down the glass and looked at her cousin with annoyance.
"Damn Denise, since when were you interested in my life? You have my number, I do believe we're Facebook friends also. But you, and I both know your husband wouldn't have fired nobody unless they were turning down his sexual advances."
The smart reply earned a few snickers from around the table. Even Joker had to stifle a giggle. Denise's husband Clint choked on his wine and cleared his throat.
"That was one time, and you know how it is when you're successful. What does your boyfriend do for a living." The way she said boyfriend didn't go unnoticed by Luna. She was not about to play this game with her. Luna was not to be fucked with. She was not that little awkward girl growing up anymore. She was a grown ass woman, and Denise was going to learn today.
"Look Denise let's cut the fucking pleasantries okay. I had a miscarriage from my boyfriend here…" she gestured to J "...so I needed some time off. As for what he does for a living well he's a business owner. He owns a casino, a nightclub and a strip club and a lot of real estate. So I think that would put his net worth probably quadruple times what your husband is worth. So yeah he's richer, smarter, more loyal and I'm pretty sure his dick is bigger too. Does that cover all the shit you want to know?"
"Luna!" Her grandmother called out mouth wide open. Luna looked at her grandmother with a frown. She opened her mouth to speak but her grandmother beat her to it.
"That kind of language is unacceptable at the dinner table. We have young children here."
Luna rolled her eyes. She didn't give a fuck. Denise was trying her, that she could take, but when she started asking about Joker she crossed a line. It wasn't innocent there was an ulterior motive so Luna had to put her in her place.
"Grandma I'm sorry. But you know just as well as I do she just wants to be nosy for all the wrong reasons. I'm not in the mood."
"Nobody asked you to bring you half breed ass here!" Denise shouted clearly affected by how she had been put in her place.
Luna stood up and banged her hands in the table.
"You got some fucking nerve calling me a half breed. You want to try and call me out and make me feel bad. Well I bet that whore of husband doesn't even know yalls first child might not be his. As I recall you was fucking half of the frat boys from USF. But hey, your child's paternity is none of my business. Or the fact that you've been scraped more times than a fisherman's knuckle! Technically you should have at least 6 kids and not 3!"
Denise stood up and pointed a finger at Luna.
"You think that you're all that. You always have. You think because your daddy had money you're better."
"Bitch I never thought I was better than anyone. That's your thinking not mine. It's not my fault you were a mediocre student at best. It's not my fault you failed and I succeeded. I'm sorry that you feel like I was privileged and entitled but you know what Denise I never treated you any differently. And you know I would've killed to go to school with y'all. You're 30 years old. At this point if you're unhappy with your life that's your fault not mine."
"Alright girls enough! I don't want to hear anymore of this nonsense. We're family and you're embarrassing me in front of our guest."
That seemed to make Denise aware that she was in fact looking like a jerk. She sat back down and Luna followed suit. An awkward silence fell across the table. Only the scraping of silverware against the china could be heard. Luna's grandfather decided to break the tension.
"So Luna singing in any rock bands in Gotham."
Luna blushed and shook her head.
"Rock Band?" Joker asked intrigued at this new piece of information. Her grandfather's eyes widened.
"Luna didn't tell you she was in a rock band when she was younger? She had a real talent for it."
"We were just a cover band. Never cool enough to write our own music."
"The lies you tell…" her grandmother interjected. "... you wrote plenty of original songs until your dad made you stop."
Joker looked at Luna curiously. Wondering why she had never brought it up. He had heard her sing briefly at the club but Rock? This was a whole new level of information.
"You know Chris has a band. They're pretty good. They set up in the barn out back. I'm sure you could give us a show. At least play the drums or one of those kick ass guitar riffs." Her older cousin Marlon chimed in.
Luna shook her head. "Nope. No way. I'm on vacation."
Denise snorted and sipped from her wine glass. "Luna's older now. She probably can't even belt them out like she used to."
Luna set down her fork and knife. Denise was challenging her. She would not give her the satisfaction. "Denise I swear to whatever Deity you believe in, say one more god damn word out of line and I will show you just what I'm capable of."
Her grandmother banged her hands down on the table and cursed.
"God dammit you two! I wanted this to be nice. I haven't seen my baby Luna on a few month and you can't even keep your mouth shut for a few hours Denise. The girl said she had a miscarriage, When did you stop lacking compassion. We are family." Luna's grandmother then turned and faced her. "And you, letting her bait you into a fight. You never did know when to just let things go. Turn the other cheek. People are not going to like you Luna. Whether it be for being a mixed girl or the clothes you wear. You got ta' learn how to be the bigger person or life will drag you down with all the bad bits. Now, no more of this talk at the table or I swear to my Lord and Savior ya'll gonna be picking switches today!"
Luna's grandmother sat down and everyone resumed eating. All the conversations resuming like nothing had ever happened.
A few hours after dinner Joker was alone on the porch smoking a cigarette when Luna's grandmother came out onto the porch and sat down next to him.
"I haven't seen my baby smile so big with a man since James."
Joker kept quiet. He didn't know what to say. He was surprised when her grandmother reached down into her pocket and pulled out a fancy looking cigarette case and retrieved a cigarette. Joker quickly held out his lighter and lit it for her.
"What a gentleman. I see why she likes you. You watch and then act. You don't appear to me an irrational man. The way you look at her...well, some women would pay big money for that." She blew out a cloud of smoke the two of them sat in silence. Joker turned his head in the distance to listen to what sounded like drumming. Luna's grandma smiled.
"She does that when she's fretting about something. If I were you, I would sneak in and watch her work. The girl has a gift. She use to want to be famous until my stubborn ass sun crushed her dreams, but that is her story to tell." The woman rose from the chair and flicked her cigarette and turned to Joker. "Go on now. Go see what she's up to."
When Joker crept into the side door of the barn he could see luna with headphones in wailing on the drum set. Her hair was down and her eyes were closed. Her head was banging and she appeared to be singing a long to whatever she was listening to. Her cousin Chris and a few of his friends- Joker assumed they were his band mates, were standing there watching her in amazement. Luna stopped playing and set down the sticks and stood up. She plucked the headphones from her ears and handed them to Chris.
"So ya'll want to play some real shit, or this hippie indie rock feelings shit yall millennials like listening to?" She said with a smile.
"Oh my God Chris, is she single? I would totally date an old lady."
Luna put her hand on her chest and feigned hurt.
"I am not an old lady. I'm 27. And yes I have a boyfriend who's hiding over there in the corner." Luna replied throwing J a wink. She walked over to the mic stand and let the band members take their places. Their lead singer joined Joker in front of the setup and crossed his arms watching. The next 10 minutes was spent watching Luna scream and croon out rock ballads he had no idea she knew, or could actually fucking nail. He had heard her sing briefly at the casino's lounge but she definitely had a vocal range like no other. Joker was amazed and it made him love her so much more because he got to see a little bit more of Luna that he knew she didn't show others.
Another day came and went and all too soon it was time for Luna to leave and go back home. She would miss her family but she promised to come visit more often. Her grandmother seemed to be sad that Joker was leaving more so than her. Which was fine. Luna was glad her grandmother approved of him. Waiving a final goodbye from the driveway Joker and Luna headed towards the airport.
