Cold,Cold Heart (The Joker Story)

The deal

  The next day, just like Jack said he bought me a dress. What I did not expect was to see him on the TV news, while he was gone.
  I was watching the clip with fear. The poor man was trembling and crying from fear and the Joker just mocked him. I don't know why but I was getting angry.
"See, this is how crazy Batman's made Gotham! If you want order in Gotham, Batman must take off his mask and turn himself in. Oh, and every day he doesn't, people will die, starting tonight. I'm a man of my word." He said while holding to camera, facing himself. In the end he laughed hysterically and the man began to scream.
  I turned the TV off, not wanting to hear or see anymore of this. I stared at the monitor, thinking of what may happen at the end of it all.
  Soon Jack came back with a huge smile on his face which disappeared when he saw my serious look.
"What is it, angel?" He sat by me on the couch. "Who made your pretty face angry?"
"You..."
"Me?" His surprised look hit my nerves. "I wasn't even here, doll."
"Why did you kill him?" I stood up and took few steps away from the couch.
"Owh... Look, doll. You must understand I do things..." But before he could say something more I cut him of, shouting.
"Have you thought about him, as a person? What if he had a family, kids? Life is not a puppet that you can play with in whatever way you please!"
"You know..." He smacked his lips and stood up. "I don't like it when you have such an attitude." He walked to me and grabbed me by the shoulder, pressing my body to his. Our faces were an inch apart. "Not one bit." He spat the words to me and looked at me.
I opened my mouth to say something but instead of protesting I pressed my lips on his. He didn't hesitate for a second. It was one of these passionate, full of anger and lust moments that we see in movies. He pinned me to the wall and we started making out aggressively, biting, pushing, licking, everything.
  Suddenly, he pulled away and went to the couch where he left a bag.
"I've got you a dress, angel."
He handed me the bag and I pulled the dress out of it. It was beautiful little black dress and a long black scarf so I can cover my wings.
"Thank you." I smiled, but inside my mind was yelling at me how I forgave him about what he had done.
"Jack?" He gave me a questionable look before I continued. "Do you want to go out with me tonight?"I really hoped he will say yes. I don't know why but I really wanted to be normal with him even for an hour.
"I guess we can do that... but wear the dress." He was laughing while saying that which made me feel uncomfortable for a while, but I knew that he didn't mean it in any bad way.
"Alright... but I want you to be without the makeup." I bit my lip hoping he won't get mad. Sometimes it was really hard to tell how he would react.
He looked at me, licked his lips and I was prepared for the rejection.
"Deal."
And before I could say something back he went up to his room and closed the door. I was happy and worried at the same time. Happy because he agreed and worried from the way he did. Taking the stairs too, I went in my room and sat on my bed. Then the whole kissing scene flashed back in my head and I felt how my stomach was exploding with butterflies and my face was heating up. I could compare it to the way I felt when I was lifted up by the wind yesterday. Repeating the whole event from yesterday I smiled to myself like an idiot, but a happy idiot.
  In an hour I went to the bathroom and began to prepare myself for tonight.
