Hey guys
Just a heads up, this chapter is very long so if you are tired read it in the morning.
On a plus side this story has got over 150 hits!
Thank you to everyone that have read this and special thank you's to Diva Quinzel (cool name i love it!) Nova Fearnewood and Ziqwiq for reviewing!
The feel of her wet body against mine still lingered in my mind; her passionate kiss and that look in her eyes were haunting me. My dreams were filled of the blonde beauty all night so to hear that Oswald was found hanging upside down in the dinner hall, stark bollock naked, brought me out of my state. Rumour is that he is locked in solitary confinement while the guards find out how he broke free from his cell. I was pleased to hear this, knowing that Harley wouldn't have to worry about seeing that slime ball for a while. Great now I'm thinking about her again! I huff as I push my so called food away from me. Thankfully I was allowed back into the dinner hall after that fight with The Penguin otherwise I would have stayed in my cell, thinking about a certain woman all day. The table was pretty lonely with only me and Jonathan here. Harvey and Edward were at their session and probably won't be back for half an hour, not that Crane was a bad guy we just didn't have anything in common. That reminds me.
"Hey Scarecrow?" The mid thirties man looked up from his tray. "How do you know Harley?"
"Harley? Harl... Oh you mean Harleen Quinzel. Well she use to be one of my students when I taught psychology back in GCU"
"No joke!" Harley learnt her stuff from Crane!
"Yes I did. Although it was only for a short time, I moved to Arkham not long after term started, I remember she was the top of my class!" Jonathan squealed in delight of the memories of his old teaching days. No surprise there, my Harley is a very smart woman.
"Well you didn't have to tell me, she's a really good doc! But that doesn't explain why you was so nice to her the other day"
"Ah well you see Joker, I use to work here. Many staff members still remember me from them days and do you know what? None of them batter an eyelid at me. Dr. Quinzel is the only person I know who still calls me Professor Crane and I respect her dearly for that. True, back when she was a student at GCU I use to think her methods were questionable but now I am one of the patients I see why she does it her way. That child is the kindest person I have ever met and I hope for your sake Joker, that you wouldn't do anything to harm her!" I've never seen him so protective over anything before! He really respects Harley that much?
"The thought has never crossed my mind Crane! I know what it's like, the other doctors just call me patient 2997 but Harley never calls me that! It's always Mr. Joker. You saw it yourself that night; she called Harvey and Edward Mr. Dent and Mr. Nigma." Although I was a bit ticked off Jonathan thought I would hurt Harley, I was happy that he respected her and could see she wasn't like the other doctors.
"What are you two all muddled up about? Is there a riddle you can't solve?" Edward sat down with delight. Him and Dent were back from their session and sat down with us.
"Oh we were just discussing Harleen Quinzel!" Crane smiled. Two-Face only looked at me with strange eyes. Maybe it's because of last night.
"Oh yes the delightful young miss from the other night! Strange that such a bright, talented woman would want to work here of all places! How are your sessions going together Joker?" Nigma never talked, he always sang his word as if he was a pop star. They all look at me as if I were a naughty school boy in the naughty corner.
"They are going fine" I grumble not giving them anything. Jonathan and Edward soon started talking to each other but Harvey only stared at me with a smirk on his face. Noticing the other two were too wrapped up in the conversation, Two-Face leaned over the table so other wouldn't hear us.
"What exactly happened last night Joker?"
"Nothing!" I defended.
"Oh really? So The Clown Prince of Crime, saved his doctor from getting raped, runs off with her only to return soaking wet with no make-up on and you're telling me nothing happened?" Shit! I can see what he is thinking now. I would think it would be suspicious if I saw what he did!
"I decided to have a shower, what is wrong with that?" I shrug.
"You are full of shit Joker! I know you like her!"
"What the fuck are you talking about?"
"Oh please! Your cell is right in front of mine! I notice every time you come back from one of your session you are smiling and happy! And not your usual smiles either, this one is bigger than the rest. So spill it!" I just stare that my half scarred friend and thought for a moment.
"I don't know"
"What do you mean you don't know?" He has a point, how can I not know what is going on inside my head?
"I just don't know! I have these things whirling around in my head nonstop. Whenever I see her, my heart starts pounding in my chest and then when she's not around I can't stop thinking about her! So there you go, I don't know!" I peer around to see if anyone heard what I just said but luckily no one did. Two-Face chuckle brought me back to his stare.
"Sounds like The Joker has a crush!"
"A crush! No.. no.. not that... no... you think?" Do I have a crush on Harley? I've never had a crush before, well not that I can remember. What if she has a crush on me too, would it work out between us? No what am I saying; Harley wouldn't have a crush on me! Although... I guess it would be nice if she did. We could kiss and hold each other all the time; we could go on a date to the pictures and get some ice-cream after. Who knows we my even become boyfriend and girlfriend. Maybe... maybe we can... No what am I saying? We can't be together! What if Ba... no, I don't want to think about that... I can't... not with her.
"Looks that way to me pal" Dent said looking smug as ever.
"Did it feel like that when you and Ivy date..."
"Do not mention that penis flytrap!" Harvey growled. "And no it didn't! So what happened last night?"
"Well she was having a panic attack! So I took to the inmate shower room and cleaned her up a bit"
"And then?"
"Well my make-up must have washed off as I was holding her upright. She soon came out of it"
"And then?"
"Well... then... we... well it wasn't much but I... she... we kind of kissed" I huffed.
"Well I never! That's summed it all up mate; you defiantly have a thing for Harley if you kissed her. What happened after?" I've never heard Dent speak like this before; it was as if he is happy for once.
"Well some guard came in and ruined the moment but luckily he didn't see us then she kissed me again, said thank you for saving her and I crawled back to my cell"
"Wow man that sounds deep!"
"That is it," I look my friend deeply "My make-up washed of before she recovered from her attack. She saw me Harvey, she saw me without my make-up! She even touched my scars!"
"And Harley still kissed you?"
"Yeah..."
"Then you better go talk to that girl because it sounds like your feelings are not one sided" Harvey's words shocked me.
"You really think so?"
"The brood sees you, The Joker, without make-up and still kisses you?" I never really thought of it like that. She did kiss me and from the moans I was hearing, she was enjoying it too!
"Patient 2997, It's time for your session!" A woman screamed from above me. I quickly glance at Two-Face who only laughed at me.
"Go get her Tiger!"
I was sitting calmly on the chaise when Harleen walked in, I stare that her with a worried look. She looked like a mess, her clothes were all messed up and her silky hair was scarped back into a ponytail. Her blue eyes were lifeless and had dark bags under them. She plastered a fake smile on her sad face, not wanting to make me worry.
"Jeez Harl, are you ok?" I ask as she sits on the arm chair.
"Oh hey Mistah J," her accent slipped out. "I'm fine just a bit tired, I didn't get much sleep last night" she yawned. This wasn't the sweet woman I knew from a few days back, it was like the life was sucked out of her to only leave a shell behind. But I could relate to what she was saying, I too didn't get much sleep last night. I look at the large chaise I was sitting on, noticing it was big enough for two.
"Come here" I say as I scoot over to the far side of the chair. She didn't question me as she came over and sat on the chair when I patted it. I slowly wrap my arms around her small from, lowering her down and rested her face on my chest. We lay there for a minute, wrapped in each other arms before she finally asked.
"What are you doing?" It was only a little sound but it wasn't filled with worry or concern.
"Shh Harley, go to sleep" I gently whispered into her hair.
"I can't, what if someone comes in?"
"They know better than not to disturb me in a session" this was true. No one ever came in during my sessions, fearing that I would react violently. "Now sleep, we have..." I look at the clock on the wall. "Fifty three minutes till our session ends, which will be enough time for you to have a little nap"
"What if I over sleep?"
"Don't sweat it cupcake, I will stay up and I'll wake you before the session is over" I hear her sigh in content and she leans further into my chest, sliding her arms under mine. True to my word I stay there looking at the clock as I hear her drift off. Oh Harley, is Two-Face right? Do I have feelings for you? Do you have feelings for me? No one has ever been this close to me; I've never let anyone get this close. The Joker, super villain and murderous clown is being kind to his doctor, holding her while she sleeps. Who would have thought? This evil being having a kind and gentle side. God you are so beautiful Harley. Edward is right, why are you a doctor here at Arkham? You deserve better than all of this. You deserve a handsome rich guy that loves you, spoils you with gifts and praises. You deserve the goddamn world Harley Quinn. You are not like the others, they are all deluded about this world but I know deep down, you know what the real world is like. Just like me, I may be a clown but I am no fool. Others don't understand us and they never will. Damn, if they did I would be out of a job! You see the problem with you is that you are too kind, Harley, you give people chances and they abuse them. They all take everything for granted. But don't worry my darling, you will soon see what I mean and then you will understand that I am not crazy, I am right. I look down at the loving woman in my arms and sigh, not wanting this to end. Looking at the clock on the wall, it reads 2.48pm. Damn it that went quick! Stupid time! "Harley sweetheart, it's time to wake up" I whisper into her ear, making her stir.
"Is it time already?" She moaned without moving her face away from her chest.
"Sure is toots, time to wake up"
"But I don't wanna" Harley moaned, sounding like a child not wanting to go to school.
"I don't want you to go either but our session is going to end in ten minutes" with a huff and a moan, the beauty finally sat up and rubbed her eyes.
"Damn job! Oh well looks like I need to sort myself out" she rose up from the chaise and pulled her skirt down a little to cover her thighs. "Urm... Mr. Joker?" She turned to me with worried eyes.
"Yes Harley?"
"About last night..."
"Don't sweat it toots" I smile only for her to smile at me weakly.
"In my office when... after... was Mr. Dent with you?"
"Yeah he was. He was the one that hung that scum by the flippers in the dinner hall"
"Oh... well thank him for me please"
"Sure thing doll face" I smile. God, she is such a loving girl. Not only thanking me but Two-Face as well. What a peach! Oh, that reminds me! "Erm Harley?" I ask as I see her walk over to the door.
"Yes?" She asked kindly.
"You haven't told anyone, have you?"
"No I haven't Mr. Joker"
"Why not?"
"Well for one you saved me from being... you know and I don't know how you got out of your cell but you didn't try to escape so I guess it's no biggy. Plus you went back to your cell when I asked you to" she blushed.
"That's not what I meant" I say quietly as if I was shy of the subject in mind.
"What did you mean?" She asked confused.
"The make-up"
"Oh!" Now that she understood, Harley took her time like she was trying to think in her mind how to tell me something. "No I haven't told anyone"
"How come?"
"Well... I guess... I didn't want to" I knew it! I scared her, just like how I scare everyone when I do have make-up on!
"I'm sorry Harley, I didn't mean to scare you" I say feeling ashamed of myself.
"You didn't scare me!" She snapped back quickly, shocking me. "I was just shocked that under all that make-up that there is a very handsome man with beautiful brown eyes. How anyone thinks that you a scary because of your scars are idiots, totally blind to the handsome man before them!" What! Her hands fly up to cover her mouth as we stare at each other, shocked at her admittance. I quickly moved across the room and pulled her into me, kissing her like it was the end of the world. To my joy Harley was returning my kisses, matching my force and even let out a few moans. I pulled away and rested my forehead on hers; annoyed we didn't have time to continue our comfort.
"Can I see you tonight?" I beg.
"Joker..." She breathed.
"Please?" I beg her again.
"Yes" She pulled away looking into my eyes with that look again. Man, I really need to find out what that look is! Shit she's leaving! I see Harley about to walk out the door.
"HARLEY WAIT!" I shout, pulling her back to me. I rip the pocket out from my jumpsuit, lick it and start wiping her lips with it. "Can't let you go out there looking like you just eat a tube of lipstick, they will know something is up" I laugh at her shocked expression. When all the red was off her face, I gave her the torn fabric. She took it and placed it over my lips, leaned closer and kissed me through the cotton.
"Thank you" Harley whispered and walked out the door. Wow!
"How did it go?" Dent asked when I sat down on my cot; my eyes were heavy, begging me for sleep.
"Hey Two-Face, can you do a guy a favour?" I look at my fellow villain. "Can you wake me up after everyone is asleep?" I ask knowing that Oswald wasn't next to me to hear.
"Sure" he says as I tuck myself under the covers.
"Oh and Harley says thank you" I yawned as I close my eyes.
I awake from my dreams of Harley as I hear a loud metal ding and a whisper. Throwing my quilt off me, I see that the lights have been dimmed and Two-Face against his glass wall. He holds up his thumb to tell me everyone is sleep, I quickly grab something from under my pillow. Harvey gave me the key card after our last adventure, thinking I would need it more than him. Unlocking the door, I close it behind me and made my way to the vent.
"Good luck Romeo" Harvey laughed as he got into his cot and fell asleep. Not paying much attention to his remark, I remove the cover and slipped into the shaft. I had to be careful tonight; no doubt security has increased after Oswald was found this morning. Slowly and quietly I crawl through the small space as I made my way, only this time I managed to find a vent that was closer to her office than yesterday. Looking for any guards, I slowly removed the cover and dropped down, waiting there for a second to see if anyone has heard my landing. Satisfied I'm in the all clear, open the door to my left and walk in.
The office was dark and empty but light shined through the other side of the room. As I look up, I stared at the door I didn't see before. The wall and door was wavy glass, causing me to only see shadows and blurry images. As I walk towards the door I could hear noise from inside. It sounded musical; it wasn't till I opened the door that I could make it out.
'I've still got sand in my shoes,
And I can't shake the thought of you.
I should get on, forget you.
But why would I want to?
I know we said goodbye,
Anything else would have been confused.
But I want to see you again'
Harley is signing! I looked around the room, it was nice with books on selves with a TV and a small double bed pushed up against the wall. Harley was sat on the bed with her noise stuck in some file, singing along to a song playing through the spears on a small table next to the bed.
'But I want to see you again.
I want to see you again.
I want to see you again'
She looked up when she noticed I walked further into the room, closing the door behind me. The blonde smiled, but her file down and stood.
"Hi Mr. Joker" She beamed cause me to smile.
"Harley, do you have to call me that? It sounds so formal. What is it you called me earlier... oh yes that's right... Mistah J, I like that" Harley smiled at my words.
"Ok then Mistah J. Take a seat," she pointed at the bed "would you like a drink?" The doctor asked as she walked over to the fridge I didn't notice in the corner in the room.
"Don't suppose you got beer in there?" I laugh.
"Afraid not sorry, but I do have some cola" she offered.
"That would be perfect! I've been craving something fizzy and full of sugar ever since I came here" I laugh. She grabbed to colas, sat down on the bed next to me and handed me a can. "Thanks" I say as she folded her legs under her, getting comfy.
"Make yourself at home Mistah J" She smiles brightly. It makes me happy that she feeling so relaxed around me unlike others in my presence. I look at the speakers as the song changed, noticing a small red triangle sticking out of it.
"What's that?" I point. Harley took it out of its holding and pulled it in front of us.
"It's an IPod" she laughed.
"What's an IPod?"
"It's a mp3 player, it holds and plays music like a CD except this can hold a thousand songs" Harley then quickly showed me how to use it and gave me free reign over the IPod. I scroll through the song titles.
White flag
Don't leave home
Take my breath away
Died in your arms tonight
Time after Time
Come undone
Ordinary world
Whole lotta history
I want to know what love is
"Jeez Harl, who broke your heart?" I laugh at the songs on her IPod. There were more as I scrolled down.
"Excuse me?"
"All these songs, seems like you are sad. Did someone break your heart?" I ask, worried of the answer. If someone did hurt her would I be able control myself, would she be able to like me as much as she did that guy.
"What! No," she laughed. "No has broken my heart Mistah J, it's still in one piece" she smiled. Her answer pleased me a lot but there was something else I wanted to know.
"So... is there... have you got a special guy waiting for you back at home?" I asked scared of my feelings being hurt but she only laughed and shuck her head.
"Nope, just me"
"What that's silly, a beautiful gal like you shouldn't be lonely" I laugh.
"I'm not lonely Mistah J" she said as she took the music holder from my hands, selected a song and connected it back to the speakers.
"Then why do you have these songs on that for?"
'Sometimes
I watch you when you're sleeping
I wonder what you're feeling
Both wide awake and dreaming
Of yesterday
I want you
To kiss away the tensions
The issues never mentioned
With all the best intentions
But you turn away '
"I don't know. I guess I like the meaning of them. To be so in love with someone so much that you would do anything for them. I wonder what it's like" Harley sighed, looking miserable.
"Haven't you been in love before?" I asked shocked. How can this beautiful never been in love before? What man wouldn't want her?
"Nope, have you?" She looked at me. I just look at her with a knowing look.
"No, I haven't. Who would want to love this?" I say as I circled my face with a finger.
"Oh don't be silly Mistah J! You're not THAT bad I've seen worse" she joked causing me to laugh with her.
"Oh yeah, like who?"
"The Penguin!" We both roared at her joke. After we calmed down after a minute or two of pure laughter, Harley turned and looked at me with a smile on her face.
"What kind of music do you like?"
"I don't really listen to music. Although on the way to one of the bank raids, one of my henchmen was playing his music and I liked a few songs on it. Oh what was it... oh yeah! Don't know what I want but I know how to get I, I wanna destroy the passer by. Blah blah blah" I said, waving my hands around causing Harley to laugh. "What?"
"Anarchy in the UK" she laughed
"Excuse me?"
"That's the name of the song. Anarchy in the UK by The Sex Pistols, it suits you" we both laugh.
"Yeah I guess it does. There was this other one that I liked too"
"What was that?" She asked smiling.
"And if there's anyone left in here that doesn't want to be out there! I predict a riot!" I sang making her laugh again.
"I predict a riot by The Kaiser Chiefs, another song that suits you" we laugh again. Reaching over me to the table, Harley paused the music and looked up with a smiled. "So what do you want to do?" She asked as she leaned back into her spot. I want to rip your clothes off and take you right here on this bed!
"I dunno, what do you want to do?" I ask nicely, pushing my naughty thoughts to the back of my mind. Harley paused, thinking to herself and then got up from the bed.
"I'll be back in a moment" she said as she left the room. I took in my surroundings again and I sighed, relaxing onto the bed with my arms behind my head. I'm in Harley's bed! Well her bed away from home anyways but still I am here! My mind wonders of the room's owner when I hear the door open and close. I look over, without getting up, to see Harley standing there with dozens of DVD cases in her arms. "Well it didn't take you long to get comfy" she smiled at me lying on her bed. I smile at her as she puts the DVDs on the table. I sit up a little, resting on my elbow and looked down at the titles. "I thought we could watch a movie so I went to the doctor's rec room and grabbed what I could see"
"You are amazing you know that?" I smiled causing the beauty to blush.
"I try" she laughed. "So what you want to watch?" I pick up a random DVD and gave it to her which she took and popped into the TV. Returning, I pat on the bed to tell her to lie down with me. As she got comfy next to me, I pull her into my chest and wrapped my arms around her only to let her free to grab the remote to start the movie. After the credits started I sighed.
"This is so good" I look down at her from behind, catching a cheeky glance down her top.
"What is?" She asked, snuggling closer to me. I pick up a strand of her hair and start twirling it in my fingers, amazed at how soft and shiny it looked.
"This. Being here with you and watching a film. God Harley you have no idea what it's like to be stuck in that cell. There is nothing to do but sit there and wonder what day it is. Sure I have the guys to talk to but after eight months there's nothing to talk about anymore. Now I'm here, watching a movie with you and it amazing" I see her frown at my words and it worries me.
"It must be very boring for you"
"It sure is baby" I have no idea what the movie is called but we watch it anyways. Some cops was in a tower running from some bad guys that had his wife and other people. There's a lot of blood and violence, I was worried that Harley would be scared but much to my delight she was ok with it. Looking up to the screen I see the cop crawling through a shaft, making a comment about being stuck in a tin can. This make me laugh.
"What's so funny?" Harley laughed.
"That was me earlier" we both laughed at our inside joke and returned to watch the movie. At this moment I have never felt this happy ever.
So what do you think?
