Chapter 2

Treasured Love.

The town of Bludhaven had a feeling of dome to it, people looked happy, but scared at the same time. The town wasn't modern at all. while the people wore popular clothes, drove new cars. The buildings looked as if they could fall in at any second. Some were better than others, but they all needed updated. Bludhaven was worse than Gotham. Its gloomy and sad. I didn't think a whole town could be so depressing like this. "It's a lot better when the sun is out Rae." Richard smiles as he stops at a red light.

"It's a depressing place otherwise." I look at the police car speeding after a van, with it slowly pulling over.

"I bet Nightwing has a lot to do here when it goes dark out." I smirk.

"That he does, but for the past two nights he hasn't been available." He smirks back as he turns into a residential area. "For the next two nights he wont be going out, unless he has some hero chick with him"

"I heard his hero chick is a real loser."

"Eh, she can be. But hes so worse. All he does is do flips and show off."

My giggle interrupts his rambling. He smiles shaking his head, "That's it." He points at a grey town house. Pressing a key on his dash board, the door to his garage opens revealing a black bike on the side, with enough room for his jaguar. He pulls in closing the door.

"So Officer Grayson, what do the boys say about your Jag?" I smile as we get out of the car.

"Well, at first I was teased, until I punched someone over saying I had my daddy's credit card." He poped the trunk grabbing our suitcase. Before I think a big smile spreads across my face. "What?" he opens the door into the kitchen.

"I rode in Richard Graysons car and now I'm in his house. Do you know how many girls wish to say that?" I blush.

"Rae, I took your virginity when you were 16, now your all girly about being in my house." He smiles.

"Oh my god, I get to sleep in Richards bed!" I joke as he kisses me. He laughs as we exchange cute pecks. Suddenly they get longer and more passionate. "So the tour?" I almost moan as he kisses my neck.

"Kitchen." He grabs my hips walking me into the living room, "Couch, tv." He continues kissing my neck slowly biting as he works us into the hallway, "my room." he opens it revealing the large bed.

Slowly he lays me on the bed as we kiss. My fingers intertwine with his hair pulling it hard as he unbuttons my top. Yanking his tie off, I release its clutch as I begin working on his white shirt. I moan loud as his mouth slides onto my cleavage as he unhooks my bra. I slide his shirt off revealing his muscles. I kiss him hard as I rush into him, unclasping his belt. His hands push my skirt up as he kisses me. his brows furrows, and he rushes like me. Its mind blowing and fast. But after an hour were passed out in a heap under the sheets.

I wake up curled into his chest, warm and snuggled together. I look into his face. His hair is flat now instead of spiked, but still the same length. I smile at how relaxed he is when he sleeps. Its rare for him to be like this. Gently I raise my hand, softly grazing his face. I trace his jaw line, and kiss his softly as I slip out of bed. I wander naked out of the bedroom in search of my suitcase to find some clothes to shower and dress into. As I make it into the kitchen and place it on the table I hear a coughing from the front room. I turn to see a man standing by the window.

My scream is curtling as Richard sprints into the kitchen. I duck behind the counter trying to hide my naked figure as I throw a shield up preventing the intruder from entering the kitchen. Richard stops before he can get to the window and quickly grabs a throw pillow from the couch covering him. He sighs out, "Why are you in Bludhaven."

"Because I sent you to Seattle and haven't heard a word since yesterday."

"Got Busy" he sighs

"Oh I could tell by the naked woman in your kitchen." He continues to look outside. Richard walks with the pillow over his crotch grabbing a blanket from the chair and throwing it at me.

"Its Bruce." He sighs. I quickly wrap myself in the blanket. Grabbing my suitcase I rush into the bedroom to dress. "Ill be back in a second." He says before following me. "Im so sorry Rae." He shakes his head as he pulls basketball shorts and a tee out of his dresser.

"Its been an eventful night, I got to ride in Richard Graysons car, go into his house, fucked his brains out, then his dad got to see me naked."

"Have I told you how much I miss your sarcasm?" he kisses my forehead

I smile as I slip on my sweat pants. He opens the door and we both walk out. Richard flips the front room light on, "Coffee?" he asks as he walks into the kitchen.

"Rachel?" Bruce looks shocked, "I didn't even recognize you."

"Well, you've never seen me naked until now, Bruce ." I smile as I walk into the kitchen. I open his fridge grabbing a bottle of water. "My hairs grown out."

"It's the happy glow of you. Very interesting night if I might say." He smiles, "did you get those files son?"

"Yes, I was going to send them to you in the morning." He pours a cup of coffee and hands it to him. "also got him to donate an extra 20 to the charity ball in February."

"Maybe I should send you to do more deals." He looks at the filles.

"I'm a cop, sorry this can't happen again for a while." He turns to me touching my back slowly rubbing as he sips his coffee.

"So Rachel, how is life treating you these days?" he opens the files

"I own a café in Seattle." I sip the water.

"Its amazing. I visited while on business." Richard chimes in

"Is that so? I never saw you as one for the business world." Bruce smiles.

"I may not run an enterprise, but I think I do just fine at my café." I smile.

"Guess I'll have to check it out sometime." He closes the vanilla envelope with the documents inside. "Sorry for scaring you. Just needed to know everything is okay."

"It is." Richard smiled, "I will see you Tuesday night."
Bruce nods taking the file, walking out of the front door. I turn to Richard as he pulls the takeout menus out of a drawer near the sink. "Whatcha in the mood for Rae?"

"Pizza?" I smile.

"Pepperoni and sausage?"

"the best." I hug him from behind.

"Ive been told Richard Grayson can be." He smiles as he punches in the numbers on his iPhone. Quickly ordering the pizza to a teen boy.

"So are you okay with attending the Charity ball with me?"

"We agreed it would be just this weekend, Richard. Long distance never works." I look down as he hangs up the phone.

"Since we stopped seeing each other, have you seen anyone?" he smirks.

"What? No. I-"

"Me either." He sighs, "I cant move on from you. I've went on a few dates. But none of them would look at the lobster and ask if they can make it green. Or chug a bottle of wine and proceed to walk on the beach barefoot."

"I love you Richard. But we are too far apart from one another. Your life is here with Bludhaven as Nightwing, and a police officer. Bruce is here." I sigh. "My life is in Seattle. I own my café. I live in a condominium and have a few friends."

"We'll make it work." he grabs my hips.

"So for the rest of our lives we will see each other every 3 years, and the rest text and skype?" I turn and walk into the living room. "No I'm not entertaining the-"

"Rachel. Marry me"….
