Chapter 4: Harley

Waking with a start, Harley looked at the spot where he had been sitting. He was nowhere in sight. Letting out a sigh of releif. She would not want him to see her wake up in fear. She had been dreaming about the nigh before, about how her puddin had left her to die. While it had not been the first time, she knew it was the last. She was done letting that sadistic pig put her through hell and play it off as love, or a test of love.

Looking out the window over her shoulder she figured that it was late evening. She had slept longer than usual. Looking around she saw her outfit lying on the chair he had been sitting in. She reached for it and held it in her hands. she pondered putting it on but knew it would only remind her of the man she knew did not love her any longer. She noticed, as she held the leather in her hands, that it had been washed. There were no longer any traces of blood. Also, she realized, all of the rips and tares from the fights and explosions from her years as the Jokers sidekick had been sown an patched with expert care.

She stood slowly, trying not to hurt herself. After a breif moment of cool air she realized she was completely naked. She glanced over at the dresser, seeing the clock agree with her guess. It was two oh seven in the afternoon. Sitting on the dresser beside the clock ws a glass of water and a note. She walked over to it, draining the water and picking up the note.

I know that i cannot make you stay here if you really don't want to. But I would really like to talk to you when i get home. You lost a lot of blood before i could get to you, and you could use more rest. If I am not kept long, I should be back around four in the aternoon with food.. There is left over pizza, but I do not have a microwave. Tylenol is in the bathroom cupboard and feel free to use the television. NO PAY PER ViEW! She smirked at the last sentence before heading to the bathroom. When she entered she looked to her left, taking a glance at her wound. It was not pretty. It went along her temple and by her right eyebrow. It was sown togeher as expertly as her clothes had been, but it was always going to be a scar, albeit ot as bad as it could have been.

Looking away from the her wound she looked to the ret of her face, her eyes widening in suprise as she looked. Her makeup was gone. Where she had expected smudges from tears and blood, there was nothing. Not even her lipstick was there. She also noticed her hair was clean. Turning, she saw her boy shorts and bra hanging from the towel rack, drying after being cleaned apparently.

She felt her cheeks flush as she thought of those beautiful blue eyes seeing her naked. Then she realized she had been covered in blood and tht was not the way she would want him to see her...

" Wait", she yelled in her head, " Why am I thinking of this boy seeing me naked!?,"

Still, even as she shook her head she could not deny the animal magnatism rolling off of him in waves.

That is when another thought crossed her mind: " I was covered in blood, ready to die, and he saved me, carried me to his home, washed me and my clothes, sowed me up and let me sleep in his bed? That is the sweetest thing anyone has done for me in the history of ever and all i can think about is the few moments when he saw me naked?! "

Shaking her head she walked back out to the fridge, grabbed a slice of pizza and a can of mountain doo, and turned on the tv, before sitting on the edge of the bed with the remote. Scrolling through the channels she saw a movie she had been really wanting to see. She had asked the Joker to take her but he had said he was " to busy" trying to take down batman, and besides, he hated that romantic drama anyway.

Hiting the OK button on the remote, a warning came up saying it was pay per view and would be added to his satement aat the end of the month. Smirking she hit ok and continued to watch the movie, eating pizza and drinking a soda in silence, hoping to drown out all thoughts
