CHAPTER 5
"What question is that Bruce?"
"Diana, will you…"
"Yes Bruce?"
"will you be my partner?"
"partner? Wait Bruce are you asking me to marry you?"
"Ohhh Diana, no well not yet at least."
"I don't understand then Bruce what do you mean your partner?"
"It's hard to explain here, can you come to Gotham and meet me at my manor? I need to show you something that will explain this."
"I can in a few days my assignment will be up and I will have a lot of free time on my hands."
"Sounds good, then how about you join me for dinner tonight at my sons house?"
"Bruce that would be wonderful, It is so good to see you here, I really missed you."
"oh?" He gives her that infamous playboy look.
Diana blushes.
"What time shall I be ready?"
"Well , its almost 6 now, I say now is good ."
"Wont that be a inconvenience for your son?"
"Not at all, he is used to me just dropping in." Bruce said with a twinkle in his eye and a laugh in his heart.
Bruce leads Diana to the limo and they head to Dick's house.
--------------------------------------------------------------
At the Dinner table……
"Its very nice to meet you Diana. I told Bruce today as a matter of fact just how much I wanted to meet you."
"Thank you Dick, I was worried I was a inconvenience to you and Barbara"
"not at all. I do enjoy meeting the woman that makes the infamous Bruce Wayne fall in lo….."
Bruce coughs to interrupt his son. "You both look great."
Dick and Barbara chuckle.
"So Diana, How exactly did you and our Bruce meet?"
"oh Barbara, I am a cop that was hired to protect Bruce, so I did, I sort of took a bullet for him."
"I wouldn't say sort of Diana."
"Bruce the wound wasn't to bad."
"Diana you almost died."
"Yes well here I am alive and well."
"and looking beautiful as ever."
Diana blushes and smiles at Bruce.
"I'm so glad Bruce found me , with meeting you both and Bruce asking me to be his partner, I am having a great day."
Dick and Barbara both spit out their drink in surprise.
"His what?"
"His partner, although he hasn't exactly explain to me what he means by it, I'm very intrigued."
"Oh, hes talking about him being Ba…"
"So Barbara, Dick ever tell you about his favorite Halloween costume?"
"Bruce, no, I got the hint and besides you wouldn't dare."
"I have pictures too Barbara."
Dick changes the subject quickly after getting the hint that Bruce hasn't told Diana yet.
The four talked all into the night.
Until it got late……
-------------------------------------------------------
Bruce walked Diana up to her door. Diana started to put the key in and stopped. She turned towards Bruce and before he could say anything, she kissed him.
He wrapped his arms around her, drew her to him closer and kissed her back deeply. She pulled back and opened her door quickly and pulled him inside and closed the door.
