OK, I lied. I can't finish this story in just ten chapters. It's going to have to go over that. Not sure how many, but not ten. Please forgive me. I just hope it's not boring you and please enjoy this chapter.
Thanks for the wonderful reviews guys and keep them coming! I'm sorry I'm taking so long to update, it's just so much homework and now in a bunch of clubs, plus I got a new Nintendo DS, so I've been distracted lately, but this weekend I'm took it off and wrote this chapter. Please be patient and continue reading. Thanks!
Lily typed furiously thinking about what had happened a week ago. The way Bruce kissed made her heart jump. He would have never done that to Lily and yet he did it to Belinda. She questioned that. Was it because Lily was fat or because he respected her more that he did Belinda?
Lily stopped typing and sighed, leaning her head on her hand. No, even if he did cheat on me, Bruce isn't that kind of man. The way he would touch me before was tender and with love, but the other was full of lust and desire. Either way, I love both, she thought, smiling.
"What are you smiling about? Is the paper work entertaining to you?" teased Bruce, standing in front of her desk. Lily huffed and began typing again, sticking her tongue out at him. "Oh very mature aren't we," he chuckled.
"I'm doing the work so you can just go back to your office and do what ever you do in there," she said not looking up from the screen. "Even if it is… masturbating. Since your wife left you, you probably haven't had a decent laid, if you even made it that far. But please, Bruce, clean up after you're done. Who knows who might come in and we wouldn't want to make a bad impression," she said smirking.
She yelped when Bruce closed her laptop. Luckily, she pulled her hands out of the way before they were squashed.
"What?" she said, innocently.
Bruce sighed. "Look I didn't come here to argue with you. I came to apologize."
Lily's brow furrowed. "Apologize?"
"Yeah, for last week. You know the…"
"Almost rape," she finished.
"Well, I wasn't exactly going to rape you. You were reacting…"
"You call this an apology?" she said crossing her arms.
"You know what," he said throwing his hands up in the air. "I don't know why I even try. There's no talking to you," he said angrily.
"Maybe it's just you," she suggested.
"What happened between you and me was a mistake. Normally I'm not like that," he explained.
"Oh, I know that you're like that all that time. Face it, Bruce, you love no one," she said, darkly. "I almost feel bad for Diana."
Bruce grabbed her arm, pulling her closer to him. "You know that's not true," he growled.
Lily got more furious and slapped him hard in the face. Bruce let go of her, grabbing the side of his face. "I don't want you to ever put your filthy hands on me ever again. Do you hear me, Bruce?" She was tiered of his lies, but it was mostly about proving to herself that she will never fall for him again. But she was only lying to herself.
She almost stumbled back seeing the expression on his face. He had the same look that he had when she left a year ago. She was about to apologize, but the elevator doors opened and in came Alex.
"Hey, guys, what's… up?" he started, but Bruce ignored him and went into his office, slamming the door behind him. "What happened?"
Lily shrugged. "He was being a damn jerk, so I slapped him. I can't stand him," she huffed.
Alex shook his head. "Give him some time. The man hasn't been the same since Lily left him."
"What does that have to do with this?" she asked.
"I don't know, but Lily was like the air he breathed," he explained.
Lily rolled her eyes. "If he was so crazy for Lily, then why did he get married with Diana?"
"He did it of ill will," he said shrugging. "I don't know that was a long time ago. Whatever the reason was it doesn't matter, but he's still in love with 'his beautiful flower'," he said, with emphasis. Lily felt her knees give out, but luckily her chair was there to catch her. "Are you, OK, Belinda," Alex asked worriedly going to her side.
"Yes, I'm fine," she said. "It's probably because I haven't had lunch yet."
Alex laughed. "Well, you're in luck Ms. Rose because Cynthia asked me to come get you for lunch." Lily smiled and followed him out of the building.
About two hours later
Bruce went back home for a supposed lunch, but he didn't have much of an appetite. All he wanted to do is forget. I need a drink. A very strong drink, he thought.
He stopped walking when he past Diana's room, hearing voices coming from inside.
"Lori, I don't want to loose Bruce but I can't stand him being all over that secretary of his."
"I know. I can't believe he made her his secretary and what you've told me about what happened last week, there's no doubt that they're sleeping together."
"I know she's nothing but a slut."
Bruce was getting angry hearing the trash that was coming out their mouths. He was about to barge in, but what said next made him stop dead in his tracks.
"Yeah and after that we did to the fat ass he still got someone else to replace her."
"I know. That plan didn't work. I think it probably made things worse. I mean, I could have seduced Bruce again with no problem with Lily being in the way, but this new girl. Dammit, Lori, she could be a fucking model!"
Plan? Plan? PLAN?! Bruce glared at the door angrily wanting to punch it, but he contained himself.
"But I heard something suspicious though," he heard Lorena say.
"What?"
"I heard from my babe that Lily is back in Gotham."
Bruce's eyes widen hearing Lily's name.
"WHAT?!"
"Yeah, see Mario's... you know into his business and apparently when he was searching for some files of people coming into the United States, he found the lard's name. She came the same day Belinda showed up to your wedding."
Lily?
"Plus, there aren't any registrations under the same of Belinda Rose. Just Lilybell Adams."
Bruce shook his head. A year of torture without her was enough, but now finding out that she's back in the country made his head spin. Fuming, he went downstairs and got into his car, driving full speed to Lily's former home.
"I'm coming!" yelled Cynthia from the kitchen. She went to the door to see who was doing the insane banging. Her mouth flew open when she opened the door as Bruce forced himself inside.
"I demand you tell me news about Lily," he said angrily.
"Who the hell do you think you are forcing yourself in her and demanding me something in my home?" asked Cynthia.
"I know Lily is back in Gotham," he said, looking inside the rooms of the apartment.
Cynthia's eyes widen. "S-She's not here, Bruce."
"Oh, so you know she's back, huh?" he said, accusingly.
"Well, what difference does it make? Why are you coming now? Why didn't you come a year ago when she left to know any information about her, hm?" said Cynthia, who's blood temperature was raising through the roof.
Just then the apartment door opens, revealing to be Dave. "Hey, Bruce, Cynthia, what's going on?" he asked sensing the turmoil.
"Dave, go get the mop and some Clorox, we need to clean the spot where this man stands," she said, glaring.
"I, uh, let me go get," he said leaving the room quickly.
Cynthia huffed as she watched Dave leave. "I really do hate you, Bruce. How dare you come here and demand to know about Lily when you destroyed her heart."
"Cynthia, please. I love Lily. I just want to know how she's doing and if she really did get married."
"Of course she's married and very happy with her new husband. Did you honestly expect her to wait forever for you? Besides, you yourself also got married."
"Not for long and count on this, Cynthia. I'll do whatever it takes to win her back," he said. He gave her one last look and marched out of her apartment.
Bruce paced back and forth, trying to figure about what had just happened in the past couple hours. First, he found out that Diana had tricked him to separate him and Lily and then he finds out that Lily is back in Gotham. But where?
"Hey, baby."
Bruce's head shot up seeing Diana in the doorway. Part of him wanted to rip her head off, but he contained himself. "What are you doing here?" he said coldly.
"Baby, I came here to save our marriage. There's no reason why we should get divorce so soon."
"Goddamn it, Diana. Shut up for once. I'm sick and tiered of hearing all the crap that is coming out of your mouth," he growled.
"W-Why are you acting this way with me?"
"You're the reason why Lily isn't with me anymore! You're the reason why I had suffer for a year! We would have been married now, probably with a kid on the way. There's no way I can ever forgive you for this Diana."
"No, Bruce, please I-I never did that. I-I love you," she said trying to reach out of him, but he just pushed her back.
"Don't touch me," he growled. "I heard you talking to Lorena. I heard everything."
Diana's eyes narrowed. "I know why you're acting this way with me. I bet you already went to see that lard! That's why you're acting this way."
"No, Diana, I haven't seen, Lily. I'm acting this way because I feel like the biggest idiot. What was I thinking when I married you?"
"No, Bruce," she begged.
"I want a divorce as soon as possible. Every time I think that I'm married to makes me sick."
Diana huffed. "No, Bruce. If I can't have you, no one can." She grabbed Bruce and forced her lips to his.
Lily came back to the office after visiting Dave, mostly about giving him a serious talk to how cruel he treated Sarah, but she was still thinking about what Alex had said to her earlier. Could Bruce still love me? Lily bit her thumb not knowing what to do. Her eyes shifted to Bruce's office, daring herself to go in. What else did she have to loose? Lily took a deep breath and walked over to his office.
She was shocked when she opened the door, seeing Bruce and Diana kiss. Her sight was blurred with tears and she had an urge to run out of the building. She closed the door and swallowed, trying to suck it up.
She turned to leave, but she bumped into Lucius. "Oh! Ms. Rose, how are you?"
"I'm fine," she said, wiping her tears off.
"What's wrong?" he said, lifting her head.
"N-Nothing, I-I just have allergies," she lied. Lucius gave her a suspicious look, but said nothing. "I gotta go," she said, rushing past him.
Meanwhile
Bruce pushed himself off Diana, wiping his mouth. "Diana, I told you I don't want to be with you anymore. Please, leave," he said opening the door. He was surprised seeing Lucius outside. Diana scowled and walked past both men.
"Marital problems?" said Lucius, coming in.
"You have so idea," moaned Bruce, sitting down.
"Mm, I just past Belinda. She seemed upset."
"She was? Why?"
Lucius shrugged. "I don't know, but her face was red and her eyes were watery. She said it was just her allergies, but I know she wasn't."
Bruce sighed. What's wrong, Belinda? Why is that every time I'm around you, you end up upset?
A week later
Bruce was driving to Belinda's house wondering why she had not come to work for the past week. He was worried about her, maybe something bad might have happened to her. He tried calling her, but she wouldn't pick up. He'd ask her friends, but they haven't seen her either. I just have to go myself to se her.
He pulled over on her drive way and found her car parked outside. He gazed over the house and its landscape and realized that she had done an amazing job with the remodeling. He remembered that this place was a dump before she fixed it up.
He started hearing humming from the side of the house. He walked over and saw her planting flowers in a small patch of dirt. Bruce's breath escaped from him. She looked so beautiful in her overalls covered with mud along with her face. Her hat gave her a more innocent look. He didn't understand why this woman was making him act this way. The last one to do that was Lily. "You look cute covered in spaghetti," he had said.
Lily looked up from her gardening and found Bruce standing a few feet away. "What are you doing here?" she asked, but he gave her no reply. "Hello?! Are you there?! Get out of here, Bruce!"
Still no answer. Lily huffed and grabbed a handfull of mud and threw it at his suit, making him snap out of his state. "What the hell was that for?!"
"I'm glad you're back from space," she said sarcastically. "Now do me a favor and get off my property," she demanded, throwing more mud on him.
Bruce covered his face from the mud, but he was still hit. "Stop throwing mud at me!" For some reason, Bruce was getting turned on by her.
"Not until you get off my property," she yelled back.
"No, I won't leave," he growled. Bruce pulled her to him and kissed her firecly on the lips. Lily squirmed and tried to push him off her, but he kept his place, and actually pulled her body closer to his, until both of their chests her pressed together. Lily gasped, feeling her bottom being cupped by him. He started rubbing himself on her, feeling the erection through his pants.
Lily soon gave into the kiss and started kissing back, rubbing on him back. She felt herself getting wet and wished he would be inside her soon.
Bruce slowly placed her on the ground trying to remove their clothes. He growled through her lips, trying to get the god forsaked overalls of hers. He was about to remove her shirt when Lily's face came into mind. He immediately froze and pulled his lips away from hers. She looked so ready and yearing for him, but Lily was still in his heart and he was starting to feel guilty that this is the second time that he has forced himself on Belinda.
"I'm sorry," he whispered. He pulled himself up and left her there, not daring to look at her.
Lily sat up in shock watching Bruce speed way from his car. The anger that she had before was boiling again and she felt like she was going to exploded. "Oh, Bruce," she growled. "You're going to pay for this big TIME!"
Thanks for reading and please review!
