Chapter 2

Alfred came in and opened up the curtains to wake Bruce up. Thankfully he hadn't seen my face...yet. Bruce opened his eyes and immediately pulled my face closer to his chest so Alfred wouldn't see me. He threw some of my hair across my face to conceal me.

"Ah, i see you had some company last night." Alfred said.

"I uh, guess so." Bruce replied nervously.

"Do you even know her name?" Alfred asked.

"No." Bruce answered.

"When will you find a girl that will make you honest?" He asked. Bruce didn't answer. "Well if she wants to, she may come downstairs for some breakfast." Alfred said as he exited.

I was awake for most of the exchange. Me and him looked at each other for a while. "Good morning." A said lightly with a smile on my face.

"Morning." He replied with a half smile. It was weighed down with worry.

"If you regret what we did last night, and you want us to stop i'll understand." I said making sure he didn't feel like he had to be with me.

He simply gave me a big kiss and caressed my face. "I like you Barbra. A lot. But i think he need to keep things quiet. Nobody we know would approve of this."

"I know." I said softly. My smile now turned to a face of sorrow. "Does that mean i have to sneak out?" I asked. He nodded. I let out a sigh. "Will i see you tonight?" He nodded again. With a goodbye kiss i left the mansion and headed home to my apartment.

I was at the library working by boring day job when my friend came up to me and started talking to me. I had told him i was seeing my "yoga" instructor. And being the kind gay friend that he was, he was trying to help me out.

"So how was it?" He asked.

"How was what?" I asked back.

"Girl, you came in here floating on air just like you did the day after the first time you had sex with him."

"Okay, fine. Yes me and him slept together."

"He must be very good to get you all worked up like this."

"He is."

"I'm glad you decided to ignore me instead of getting another yoga class."

"I'm glad i ignored you too."

"You don't seem upset about it either. First time he had you bothered."

"It's complicated between us. But this last time was special. It had a lot more meaning. He told me he liked me and he wanted to see me again."

"Do you think he's the commitment type of guy?"

"He's a very complicated man. A very emotionally stubborn man. I'm not sure if he could ever commit. But, i want to change that."

"Oh, keep dreaming Babs. You can't change a man."

"Watch me."

After sun set and the night began, Batman told me to meet him on a rooftop overlooking the bank. He arrived before me.

"What's the situation?" I asked.

"We have a robbery. It's a hostage situation." He answered.

"So how do we solve it?"

"It's a three story building. I'll enter in from the second floor window while you enter from the roof. You take out the third floor while i take out the second. Then we'll meet back up and work together to clear the first floor."

"Understood." I said.

He gave me a surprised look. He didn't expect me to be so professional after everything that had happened recently. But i was understood what this was. Business in the suits, pleasure in the sheets. I would be able to handle myself and act normally when it mattered.

We entered the bank followed Bruce's plan to perfection. We saved all the hostages and captured all the bad guys.

"Batgirl." He called me over. I walked over to him. "I was thinking that maybe we could meet up after i deal with business here."

"My place 15 minutes. And don't you dare be late." I said poking a stern finger against his chest. I turned around and walked away slowly, making sure he got a good look at the goods before i left.

I was in my room waiting for him. I laying down on the bed in a provocative pose while wearing the new sexy lingerie i had bought earlier that day. Sure enough Bruce showed up right on time. He walked in and i could tell he was blown away by me. He tried his best to quickly regain his composure but i saw the way his eyes popped out of his head. I smiled, stood up and walked towards him.

"Has the Dark Knight come to rescue me?" i asked seductively.

He just wrapped his strong arm around my waist and pulled me into him. Our lips met as our bodies pressed against each other. The sex we shared that night was intense. Yet i could tell his mind was distracted. I could see it in his face. While he was between my legs making love to me, i could see something in his eyes. He was trying to focus on pleasing me and he was doing a good job, but i was worried about what was going on in his head.

After we were done and he was holding me tenderly, i decided to ask him about it.

"Are you okay?" I asked.

"Yeah why?"

"You just seem, worried. You seem distracted. I worry about you. If there anything i can do to help?"

"I just... i.." He let out a sigh. "I talked to your dad after you left."

And just like that, i began to see how this could be a huge problem. "Oh." is all i managed to say.

"It was so uncomfortable. I felt like i was somehow betraying him."

"Bruce, this has nothing to do with him. This is about us. Yes he's my dad but..."

"I'm saying i want to end this. I'm just think we should acknowledge the fact that us being together can cause problems."

"I know." I said softly.

He gently brushed my hair behind my ear and placed a gentle kiss on my forehead. "We'll make this work Barbra. I promise." Those words meant so much to me. It showed that he cared a lot about me and wanted us to work. He wanted us to be together no matter how difficult it could be. Maybe i was right. Maybe i could get the Dark Knight to commit to an actually relationship.

If only i had known there was serious trouble on the way.
