Welcome back for chapter three. Hope ya'll enjoy. Just as an fyi, I could've sworn that I had posted this chapter already.
PS: This chapter will be in Bruce's point of view. Enjoy. : )
Disclaimer: I own nothing but my OCs...unfortunately. Everything else belongs to other people that get more money out of this franchise than I ever would. Carry on.
Not Just Another Bank Account
Adrina and I went through the rest of her clothing orders at a relatively quick pace. So quick, we almost forgot about lunch. That is, if my stomach hadn't made a dying whale sound when the room was silent. Adrina laughed and I could feel my cheeks flush. "Maybe stopping for lunch is a good idea."
"Alright, Bruce. I'll let my secretary know and we can head out. Is that okay?"
"It certainly is." That totally didn't sound creepy. You're totally right. I knew you'd come around. You are beyond help at this point. Adrina called up her secretary, chatted for a few minutes and then she stood up again.
"Ready, Bruce?" I simply nodded and walked behind Adrina as she left her office. "My car or yours, Bruce?"
"Mine, if you don't mind."
"Not at all." She smiled at me and I rushed to open the door for her. She got in and I rushed back over to the other side so we could actually go to lunch.
"Anywhere you would like to go? Italian?"
"I have Italian every day, Bruce. Why don't you surprise me?" Oh, I'll definitely surprise you. Oh my God, you are disgusting! You'll come around, trust me. You're gross. I drove a considerable distance, taking us to a Japanese restaurant that I knew was really good. "Oh, I love Japanese." I smiled a little bit and pulled into the driveway where I was met by the valet. I thanked him, handed him the keys and rushed to open the door for Adrina. I felt my cheeks warm up when she smiled at me as she got out of the car. "Thank you, Bruce." I smiled as she wrapped her arm in mine and we walked to the hostess stand.
"Welcome back, Mr. Wayne. Two?"
"Yes."
"Right this way, sir." The two of us followed the hostess to a booth in the back that was dimly lit, a bit romantic and very secluded. The hostess gave us two glasses of water and waited for our drink order. I ordered a bottle of wine and the hostess took off again. Adrina and I began talking about her business and time seemed to fly by. We ordered our food, ate, and I paid the bill within an hour.
"I suppose I should be getting back to work." I frowned and Adrina laughed. "We can do this again sometimes, Bruce. That is, if you would like to do it again sometime."
"I would love that." I smiled and pulled Adrina's chair out for her before we headed out to the front of the restaurant where my car was waiting for us. The valet opened the door for Adrina and as she got in, I slipped a twenty dollar bill into his vest. He thanked me and I simply nodded at him before getting into my car. I drove Adrina back to her office building and rushed to open the car door for her. She smiled at me as I closed the door behind me and leaned up against it, hoping to talk to her before she went back to work. "Thank you for lunch, Bruce."
"It was my pleasure." Oh, it most definitely was. You're disgusting.
"Just call me when you want to do it again." She handed me a business card and I glanced at it, noticing her business number on the front but when I turned it over there was another number in pen. "That's my personal number, if you were wondering." Score. Grow up, please. I nodded and looked up just as Adrina stepped towards me, placing two kisses on each of my cheeks. "See you around, Bruce." All I could do was nod and hope that I didn't have a goofy smile on my face as she walked back into her building. I snapped out of my stupor, got back into my car and headed home. Gotham definitely just got a little brighter.
-FIN-
That's it for this chapter. Sorry for the long wait. My movies are all disappearing mysteriously. Stay tuned for the next chapter, it should be out soon.
