THANKS FOR THE REVIEWS GUYS I LOVE THEM ALL AND THEY MEAN SO MUCH TO ME!I'M SO SORRY FOR TAKING SO LONG TO UPDATE. BETWEEN SCHOOL AND SCHOOL, I'VE BEEN VERY BUSY. I'LL TRY NOT TO STRAY SO MUCH.
onetreefan - Thanks so much for you patience. I know that you're one of my top fans of this story and I'll try not to wait a long time to update. Oh, and I'm finally going to use your idea of the necklace ring. Thanks!
Dragonsinger13 -Your character is going to make its first appearance in the next chapter so watch out! Send me the last name because I don't remember what you want me to name her. I know the first name is Sarah, who is you, but give me a last name or I'll make one up, but I'm not good with naming things. Again thanks, as well!
I don't know why there are so many people starting to hate this story or think it's funny that Bruce likes a girl who is overweight. The whole point of the story is for people to see the beauty of the person's soul, but I guess all of you just want to see a model type girl or a thin girl trying to capture Bruce's heart. But, like I said from the first chapter, this is an AU. I know that this isn't in Bruce's nature for all of this and Lily isn't a Mary Sue. I got my idea based on a soap opera called Mi Gorda Bella. It's not exactly word for word or even have the same names, but I was inspired. Think about Ugly Betty; it's from a Colombian soap opera and then it was remained recently by a Mexican soap opera and then to the American version. Go to Youtube and watch Mi Gorda Bella. I wish it was in English or at least have subtitles, but if you understand Spanish, you'll love it. I'll also put the link on my profile.
PS - Apparently there is a livejournal group that have a bunch of pics of really obese women and someone photoshopped Christian Bale in there with hearts in his eyes, and writing: "BOTMON + LILY TRUE CHUNK LUV". Lily isn't obese, she's chubby. Apparently, there are people that don't care about a person's soul instead if their looks. Also, Lily isn't ugly either. I have friends that aren't fat fat but aren't skinny either and they have a great good looking boyfriend/husband.I haven't seen the sight, but if any of my faithful readers finds it please send me the link. Thank you.
Bruce's fingers twirled around a ring hanging around his neck. Yes, it was the engagement ring he had given Lily about a year ago. He turned his head to side and looked at the portrait he made of her after she left. He wanted to hang it where he could see it all the time at his office, since he really didn't want to think about work or Diana or anything else, but Lily. He still hasn't had sex with Diana, not that he hasn't offered himself to her, a man has needs, but because Diana barely lets him touch her. She always has an excuse to leave or she says that she doesn't feel like having sex. He was confused about her reactions. Before they got married, Diana was all over him, trying to get into his pants, but since the wedding night she's been cold and they barely see eye to eye with him.
His thoughts of Diana disappeared and were replaced with that new woman in his life. Belinda. She hated him as Bruce Wayne, but was strangely attracted to Batman. Why? He didn't know. He thought of their kiss. His rough lips against her soft ones. She tasted so good to him, but guilt ran through him and felt like he was betraying Lily. But was he? She moved on and got married with another man. He should too. That's one of the main reasons why he married Diana, to try and forget her, but she was still fresh in his mind. Her smile, her laugh, her big brown eyes, her soft hair, her scent. However, that she-devil from hell was also newly stamped in his brain.
Bruce groaned inwardly, not knowing what to do.
His thoughts were broken when someone opened the door to his office. "Mr. Wayne. Someone is here to see you," said his secretary, Theresa.
"Who?" he asked uninterested, getting up from his chair.
"Me, Mr. Wayne."
Bruce eyes widen seeing Belinda, or Lily, coming inside his office, but then turned into a glare, remembering that this woman hated him.
"Please, leave us, Theresa," he said not taking his eyes off Lily, who had a huge smirk on her face.
"Yes, but before I go I have to tell you something, sir."
"What is it, Theresa?"
"Well, like you know my mother is sick and she's getting worse, so I need to be with her at all time, so I have to quit, at least for now," she explained.
Bruce nodded. "I understand. Take all the time you need. You will always have a place here at Wayne Enterprise," he said, smiling politely.
"Thanks you, Mr. Wayne," she said smiling back and left Lily and Bruce alone.
"So, Mr. Wayne," said Lily, sitting of the edge of his desk crossing her legs. Bruce gulped as he saw her black skirt raise up, showing her smooth, long legs.
Lily laughed inwardly seeing Bruce's face.
"W-What are you doing here?" he said, stammering a bit, trying to look away from her.
"I wanted to talk to you about..." She lost her voice when she saw the ring around his neck. "What is that?" she said reaching for it, but Bruce put it under his shirt.
"Nothing that should matter to you," he said coldly.
Lily scowled and turned her head. Her eyes were about to pop out when she saw the portrait of herself from how she looked a year ago. "Why do you have that?"
Bruce sighed. "Since you don't believe me, I still love Lily. I want to remember everything about her. At first I tried to forget her, but there's no use. I decided that I want to remember the sweet memory of her."
Lily bit her lip from saying anything. I should just keep my mouth shut before I smack the crap out of him, she thought. He's a phony liar.
"Yeah, you're right I don't believe you," she glared. "But, I didn't come here to argue with you. Here," she said handing him an envelope.
Bruce looked at her curiously and opened the envelope. "What is this?" he asked, taking the check out.
"That's the check that you donated for Lost Lambs. I paid you back. There's no reason you should be donating your money for such a cause. Besides," she said walking around the desk, tracing the wood with her fingers. "Batman is enough for the orphanages."
"Yeah?" he said, walking around to face. "Batman is an outlaw. How is he helping out? He's stealing..."
"He's stealing for a good reason. He's an outlaw for no reason whatsoever," she said shoving him back a bit. Being to close to him, made her feel weak and she hated feeling that way. She knew she was pushing his buttons when she pushed him. She almost laughed seeing him loose his balance.
Bruce growled inwardly seeing a smile on her face. "You think that was funny?" he snarled, gripping her arms.
Lily gasped. "Let me go!" she said struggling against him.
"No," he said crushing his chest against hers. Their lips just inches away from each other. Bruce soon stopped squeezing her arms and wrapped his arms around her waist.
"W-What are you doing?" she stammered.
"You act like if nobody as ever kissed you before," he smirked leaning in to kiss her.
"Bruce, I... What the hell is going on here?!"
They both pulled away hearing Diana come in.
"I asked you a question, Bruce! How long have you been with this..."
"Be careful on what you're going to say, Mrs. Wayne. I don't appreciate being insulted," she growled. "And we weren't doing anything whatsoever. There's nothing between us and there never will," she said glaring at Bruce.
"Then why are you here? Tell me, Bruce! Why is she here?" she said pointing at Lily.
"She's here because... Because..."
"Because I'm his new secretary," Lily said, quickly. Bruce and Diana gave her a weird look.
"Secretary? What about Theresa?" asked Diana.
"She said she had to quit to take care of her ill mother," said Bruce, who was still staring at Lily curiously.
"Well, I don't like this one bit," said Diana. "I'll make sure that you'll get fired," she said whispered to her almost in a growl and turned to leave. Lily winced hearing the door slam, but she didn't take her threat seriously. She barked, but she doesn't bite.
"Secretary? Why would you want to be my secretary?" asked Bruce.
"I have a reputation to consider, Mr. Wayne. I don't want to be known as a house wrecker. And for your information, I don't want to be your secretary," she said, walking away from him and heading towards the door.
Bruce followed behind and spun her around, pinning her against the door. Lily was getting deja vu all over again. "Are you sure?"
"I-I... Move!" she said pushing him back. "Yes, I'm sure," she scowled.
Bruce smirked at her. "Fine, fine. I was thinking that maybe I should call Gordon or Parker and tell them that Batman as an accomplice."
"What?! I am not his accomplice. I-I just think he's been judge too cruelly."
"Yeah? How did you get this money then? Was it Costa's money?"
"He probably stole it doing who knows what," she replied back.
"True, but it's still stealing. Too bad. Such a pretty woman behind bars is such a shame," he said, picking up his phone. He smirked when Lily's hand stopped his. "Yes, Ms. Rose?"
"I hate you," she glared.
"So, I'll see you first thing tomorrow morning?"
Lily growled and left his office, slamming the door behind her.
Lily smashed her vase against the wall when she got home later that night. She hated Bruce for making her choose like that. Of course she wanted to be close to him, but not that close. She was dead tiered. She had to go shopping for furniture and made sure she got all right ones that'll match with her rooms. After that she went to visit Dave at the university. He almost laughed when she told him that she was going to be Bruce's secretary. Dave took her out for dinner with Cynthia, so they could spend more time with each other.
She groaned again seeing the glass on the floor, knowing that she was stupid for doing that because now she had to clean it up. She got up and fetched the broom and started cleaning up the mess. She picked up the bigger glasses with her hand and put them in a trash bag. She winced when one of the glasses cut her palm. She cleaned the other pieces quickly and went to clean her hand off.
She gasped when she bump into something when she was going to the bathroom. She gulped seeing Batman in front of her, looking down at her. "Uh, hi," she said.
He didn't say anything, but looked at her cut. He grabbed her hand and started inspecting it. "Stay here," he rasped, sitting her down a chair. Lily waited patiently wondering what and where he was going. He came back with a first aide kit. He took her hand and started cleaning the cut. "Sorry," he said when he hit a tender spot.
"It's OK," she breathed. He finally finished, wrapping her hand with a band-aid. "Thank you," she whispered.
He nodded. "I heard that you gave Bruce Wayne his money back. Why?" he asked.
"Because that jerk only does it to get more connections. Knowing that if he donates, people are going to think of him more that just an heir to Wayne Enterprise. Besides, they don't need the money they have..."
"Me," he finished.
Lily nodded. "Yes, you. I know the police think you are an outlaw, but I know different."
"How so?
"You steal money, yes, but from people who don't deserve it or people that don't need it as much as others do. It's not fair how they're treating you like this," she said cupping his masked face. She hesistated, leaning in pressing her lips against his. She pulled back immediately feeling silly for kissing him. "I'm sorry I shouldn't have done that..."
She was silence with his lips. His kiss was as good as the one from last night. She hated his suit. She wanted to touch his skin against hers. What are you think, Lily? Having sex with a man that you haven't even seen his face? But his kisses made her not care about her morals, that were being flushed down the drain.
"Batman," she moaned, as he started kissing her neck, running his gloved hands on her body.
They froze when they heard the front door open. "Ms. Rose?"
Lily gasped and looked at Batman. "Derek."
