Chapter 38: Home Sweet Home
The limo pulls up in front of our apartment; I breathe a sigh of relief that the paparazzi didn't follow us home.
I help Richard get the luggage out of the trunk, he then tips the limo driver and then we walk up the steps toward our apartment. Richard sticks his key into the lock and unlocks and opens the door.
"Welcome home!" Richard yells and picks me up bridal style.
I giggle, "Feels good to be home", I say as he puts me down. As I walk around the apartment, I realize I did miss this place, it may not have been as private and romantic as the island but it was still home.
"So what should we do now?" I ask.
"I have a few ideas", Richard says and grins, he then leans in and tries to kiss me, I turn my head and Richard frowns.
"Race you upstairs", I whisper in his ear seductively.
My phone rings and stirs me awake; I glance at the screen and see Donna is calling.
"Hello", I answer sleepily.
"Hey Kori! I heard you were back!" Donna yells.
"Yea, we got back yesterday", I say and yawn.
"Are you still asleep? Its 12 in the afternoon!" Donna says.
"I had an um late night last night", I say.
"Mhm, late night boning Richard", she says.
"Shut up", I say and blush.
Donna laughs, "Anyway I was hoping you could meet me for lunch around 3", she says.
"Sure", I say.
"Great see you soon!"Donna says.
I hang up the phone and untangle myself from Richard arms and go to the bathroom to get ready. As I walk back into the bedroom after I brush my teeth and shower, Richard is sitting up in bed awake.
"Morning beautiful", he says.
"Morning", I say and kiss his cheek; I walk toward my dresser and start getting ready.
"Going somewhere?" he asks.
"Yep, Donna called this morning and we are having a girls day", I say.
"Have fun", he says and reaches for his phone.
"Thanks what are you going do today?" I ask.
"Stop by the office, guess its time to go back to work, Bruce wants me at the office in an hour", he says.
I finish getting dressed and walk over to where he is sitting, "Just make sure you're back in time for dinner", I say and kiss him.
"Yes m'am", Richard replies with a grin.
I drive to Olive Garden and park in the parking lot, I walk into the waiting area and Donna is nowhere to be found. I walk toward the hostess table,"Hi, I was wondering if Donna Troy has been seated already", I ask the hostess.
"Yes, Are you Kori Anders?" she asks.
"Yes", I reply.
"Omg! It's so nice to meet you, I saw your wedding photos in People Magazine", she says.
'My wedding was in People Magazine?' I think to myself. , "Umm thanks", I say and smile.
"Anyway let me show you to your table", she says and grabs a menu and I follow her through the restaurant toward the booth.
"Surprise!" Donna, Bee, and Rachel yell as I reach the table.
"Oh my gosh, your all here!"I say and give them all a hug, "I missed you guys!" I say and brush a tear from the corner of my eye.
"We missed you too", Rachel says.
I sit down at the table and our waiter brings us bread and salad, he then takes our orders and after he leaves my friends and I decide to catch up.
"So, how was the honeymoon?" Donna asks.
"Judging by that afterglow she is sporting, I'd say pretty well", Bee says.
I roll my eyes and laugh, "It was very romantic, we did some traveling to different countries including Paris", I say.
"Oooh", Donna says, "You got to see the real Eiffel Tower, I'm so jealous", she says and I laugh.
"What did I miss while I was gone?" I ask.
"Nothing much, Bee thinks Vic is going to propose", Rachel says.
"About time", I say and Bee laughs.
"It's just a vibe I have, especially since our anniversary is coming up, it's the perfect opportunity to propose", she says.
"I hope he does", I say.
"Me too", Bee says.
"How are you and Gar?" I ask Rachel.
"We're good, we started planning the wedding, but still no date set yet", she says.
"I think we are still recovering from your wedding, you and Richard have been the talk of the town lately", Donna says.
"We have?" I say.
"Yep, you're the new it couple, Gotham's prince and princess, I read it in People magazine", Bee says.
"Did I miss all the gossip when I was away", I say.
"Pretty much", Donna says and Bee and Rachel nod their heads in agreement.
The waiter brings our food and my friends and I spend the rest of our lunch catching up.
I go back to my apartment, tired as I am still adjusting to the time change; I kick of my shoes and go to the kitchen to get something to drink.
My phone rings and I see it's a call from Richard, "Missing me already", I answer.
"More than you know", Richard replies and I smile.
"So, what's up?" I ask.
"I just got out of a meeting, Bruce is merging with another company and he wants me to handle the merger", he says.
"Congrats that's Amazing!" I say.
"Thanks", he says, "This is a huge opportunity, my first merger", he says.
"We should celebrate", I say.
"Funny you mention that, Bruce invited us for dinner tonight", he says.
"Oh", I say, "Um ok, that sounds great", I say.
"We don't have to go if you don't want to", he says as he knows my relationship with Bruce isn't the best.
"No, we should go", I say.
"Ok, I'll be home soon and dinner is at 7", he says.
"Ok, I love you", I say.
"I love you too", he says.
I hang up the phone and decide to take a quick nap before dinner tonight, I go upstairs into our bedroom, and lie down on the bed and drift off to sleep.
"Kori, kooorrri wake up", a voice says.
"Huh, what happened?" I open my eyes and see Richard sitting on the bed next to me.
"Its 6 o'clock Kori", he says.
"Crap! I slept for 4 hours", I say and leap out of bed, "This time change is really messing up my sleep schedule", I say.
"Probably, you'll get used to it, in about a week or so", Richard says.
"I hope so, what time is dinner again?" I ask.
"In an hour", he says.
"Great that only gives me less than an hour to get ready, why didn't you wake me up sooner?" I ask.
"Because you look like an angel when you sleep and I didn't want to disturb you", he says.
"Aww", I say, "You're so sweet, but I'm still mad at you", I say and swat his arm and Richard chuckles.
I take a quick shower and put on one of my favorite strapless red cocktail dresses with some black heels and matching black tote.
"Wow you look amazing", Richard says.
"Thanks, you look amazing too", I say.
Richard and I leave the apartment and get into his car and he starts to drive to Wayne Manor for our upcoming dinner.
