Chapter 5: Saying Thank You

"Excuse me Mrs.Chandler, but its time for Emily's treatments". One of the nurses came up to us, taking Emily by the hand. I was a bit sad to see her go, but her health was more important to me and to her. The treatments didn't help so much, for they would cause her pain at times. But I always kept motivating her to continue, its her only chance.

Emily turned to me and gave me a sad smile. I cupped her face in my palm. "Thanks for the tea set, Violet".

"Your welcome". I smiled back at her.

"Don't be such a klutz anymore, ok?" Emily giggled while she gently brushed her hand on my bruise.

"I won't I promise. Love you Em". I kissed each side of her rosy cheeks. She did the same and leaned in close to my ear.

"Love you Vi". With that she skipped off with the nurse to receive her treatments.

I sighed as I grabbed my purse and shawl from the chair. As I was about to reach for the shawl, a hand brushed against mine. I looked up to see who it was, my heart skipped a beat when I looked into his heated brown eyes.

Bruce smirked at me as he saw my surprised expression. " Sorry for startling you, I didn't mean to".

I shook my head. "No, no its just that I did not expect to see you".

"Well, I was curious to know why this hospital was so dear to you, and now I see why". replied Bruce pointing toward Emily as she walked down the hallway with the nurse.

"Yea I guess so. I envy them sometimes". I looked at a couple of children laughing and putting a puzzle together.

"Why?" Bruce had that confused look that I loved.

"They giggle and enjoy what little time they have left. Despite the pain, they embrace it and move on as if nothing happened. While I take it for granted". I smiled sadly, looking at the time. It felt so strange being close to him. At the same time I wanted to stand by his side forever, but another part of me could not deal with the temptation I had, wanting to kiss him.

"Your right, knocking down this place would be a bad idea. But I trust Jasper was not too happy at all about my decision to relocate". said Bruce as he looked straight into my eyes, as if trying to read me, to know what I was thinking.

"Jasper only thinks of what is convient, pay him no mind. He will do whatever you decide, just to be on your good side, Bruce". I loved the way his name rolled off my tongue easily, as if I was programed to only say his name and no other man's name.

"If you say so. What happened to your arm?" Bruce examined my arm. It looked horrible, but there was nothing I could do to hide it now.

"Oh, um, nothing serious. I hit myself with the car door". I smiled once again, making him smirk. His sexy smirk always took my breath away, but I tried to control myself.

"Be careful next time". Bruce was not at all convinced, but decided not to press the matter any further for it would be useless. We stood in silence for a moment.

"Well it was nice seeing you, but I have to get back". I finally broke the awkward silence between us.

"Yes it was, take care". Bruce took my hand; his touch sent shock waves throughout my body, making me tingle with delight.

I smirked and turned to leave. I could feel his gaze burn into my back with intensity; not even Jasper made me feel this way. Why did I feel this way? I didn't know. But I loved how Bruce made me feel at times, even if it was just for a little while.

To my dismay it was pouring rain outside. I ran as fast as I could, trying to escape the angry storm. As I approached the spot where my car was supposed to be, I noticed it was empty. I turned right and left but my car was no where to be seen.

"Great" I muttered. It was cold and wet. My dress clung to my body, along with my shawl. I began to rummage through my purse, trying to find the keys. But they were not there; they were on the ignition. I had forgotten to take them out when I turned off the car. My mind was completely off at that moment. "Oh, Vi that's just genius, making it easier for them to steal your car".

Taking out my cell phone, I decided to dial the number of a cab company. Much to my luck, I had no service. Why does this have to happen to me?

"Violet, are you alright?" I swiveled around as I heard a familiar voice. Bruce was standing in front of me, well supplied for the rain than I was.

"Just great, except for the fact that my car got stolen, I have no signal on my phone, and to top it all off I am drenched from head to toe". I replied not very amused by my situation.

Bruce began to laugh as I told him this and my cheeks flushed.

"What is so funny about this?" I clenched my small fists at my sides. I decided to turn and leave him. But as I turned and headed off, Bruce spun me around to face him. Our lips inches away from eachother. God how I wanted him! His expression cool and calm, but at times Bruce had a temper far worse than my own. At times we understood eachother's pain, I for him and him for me. I never loved anyone so dearly before. But I couldn't tell him.

"If you want I could take you home?" He offered sincerely

"Well you can take me to a hotel, Jasper is out of town. Plus, my keys were inside the car". I replied, just as I remembered that Jasper had left me a voicemail this morning, saying that he was off to Vegas; urgent business matters of some sort. I was happy that I would not have to see him for a day or two.

"Vi, you know Wayne manor has a lot of room to spare, come with me". Bruce draped his coat over me. I secretly inhaled his intoxicating scent, my head swirled in delight as I let his cologne fill me.

We finally reached his car. It was, obviously a sports car. A slick silver lamburgini. It was a handsome car, just like its owner. Bruce opened the passenger door for me. I watched him intently as he reached the drivers side and slid in.

"I never said thank you". I muttered, it felt awkward being so close to him. It seemed so unreal. It also reminded me of when we were together, we would just sit in silence, staring into eachother's eyes. No words needed to be said because we knew.

"For?" Bruce's eyes were focused on the road ahead.

"For backing me up on not demolishing the hospital and for right now". I replied looking at him, his chiseled features grew into a sincere smile.

"And you will never have to".
