THANKS FOR THE REVIEWS GUYS I LOVE THEM ALL AND THEY MEAN SO MUCH TO ME!

Lily paced nervously in her bookstore, waiting for Dave. Apparently, Cynthia kept her word on helping her keeping it and it still looks to be in great condition. She loved her little shop, but didn't know if she should keep it or have someone else run it for her. She could always lie and tell everyone that she's helping Lily take care of it, but it'll have too much suspicious. No. She'll let Cynthia help her take care of the book and mean while she'll have to get another job, but she'll have to be close to Bruce as possible. She needed to keep an eye out for the new Wayne family.

Lily heard someone knock on the door and saw Dave peeking in to see if she was there. She smiled and went to open the door. Dave smiled back and waited for her to lock the door. They stayed quiet for a while not knowing what to say.

Dave couldn't believe that the woman before him was his Bell. She was still cute like he remembered, but she was now beautiful to the rest of the world. She lost all her weight, but she still had that look in her face every time since he first met her. He wondered why no one could tell that this was Lily, especially Cynthia; it was so obvious to him.

Lily smiled as Dave held his hands out for a hug. She laughed and jumped into his arms. She sighed as she hugged him. It has been so long since she has received such a nice touch like his.

"My little Bell," he said. He pulled back and got a closer look at her. "You have changed so much, but you're still cute as a button," he said tapping her nose.

"Oh Dave, so are you," she cooed back. "I missed you so much," she said feeling her eyes water.

"Why didn't you call?"

Lily sighed. "I needed to get my mind off everything that I left behind for a while."

"You came back though."

Lily nodded. "Yes, I came back for vengeance, Dave. To everyone that made a fool out of me," she said coldly.

Dave was shocked. "But, Bell. What happened to my little innocent, warm-heart Bell?"

"She was killed, Davy. She no longer exists. Now it's Belinda."

Dave made a face. "Belinda does not suit you. Belinda sounds like a..."

"A bitch?" She finished for him. "Yes, Dave. I'm not the same girl that left. I am now a woman that will not let anyone get in her way."

Dave shook his head. "What have they done to you?" he said cupping her face. "Bell, do you still love him?"

Lily stayed quite for a moment. "Yes, Dave. I do, but he hurt me too much and I'll never forgive him, Dave. Never." Dave sighed and took Lily into his arms. Right now she need someone to give her a shoulder to cry on and that someone was him.

"Where do you live now, Bell?" asked Dave sharing a sundae with Lily at a cafe.

"Um, I decided you use my inheritance money to buy the mansion next to Wayne Manor," she said quickly with a whisper.

"What?" hissed Dave.

"Don't look at me like that Dave," she moaned.

"B-But why?"

"Because I have to..."

"You want to be closer to him."

Lily glared at him. "No, I already told you why."

"Stop lying to yourself. You were never a good liar."

She smiled. "Aunt Liz said the same thing."

"She was right because the only person probably stupid enough to fall for your lies is... Bruce!" Lily frowned and turned around, seeing Bruce come their way.

"Hello, Dave," he said shaking his hand. "Miss Rose."

"Mr. Wayne," she glared.

"Right," he muttered. "I was on my lunch break, do you mind if I sit with you two?"

"No."

"Yes."

They said at the same time. Bruce and Dave gave Lily a curious look. "I mean, why aren't you having lunch with your wife?"

"Because she's shopping with Lorena," he said sitting down.

"And she rather not eat lunch with her new husband? That's not a good sign since this is your second day of marry life," she said sarcastically. Dave kicked her under the table.

Bruce glared at the beauty. "Listen, I know you hate me because what Lily told you, but that was only what she saw. I assure that I was faithful when I was with her and did everything in my power to try and make her happy."

"You didn't try hard enough," she growled. She wanted to punch the crap out of him and yet the steer look in his eyes wanted to kiss him senseless.

Dave felt the tension between the two and decided that it was best if they would leave. "Belinda, uh, we have to go. Remember you were going to show me around your new house?"

"Oh, you bought a house have you, Miss Rose?" he smirked.

Lily glared at him even more. "Yes, I did, as a matter of fact. You know Waterfall Manor?"

"You mean the one next door to mine?" he asked curiously. The Waterfall Manor had been abandoned since he was a boy and not until last week he heard about construction work going on there.

"That's the one. Feel free to stop by at any time with Mrs. Wayne. I promise you that when I done fixing it, I'll be the talk of the town," she laughed, leaving the shop. Dave gave Bruce a sympathy smile before he left; he had always believed Bruce, but everyone just saw him as a bad person.

Bruce sat there dumbfounded. That woman is going to be the death of me if she lives next door to me. I mean I can't even stand her when she's away from me, but now she's going to be closer that I would have ever imagined. And having her close would be like having Lily close. Lily. Gosh, I miss you. My sweet angel. I will never stop loving you.

I KNOW IT'S SHORT, BUT THE NEXT ONE WILL PROBABLY BE LONGER. THANKS FOR READING AND PLEASE REVIEW!
