He Lived For Her~ A Joker Story

Chapter 77- Murderous

~Im really really sorry for the late updates, I've just been dealing with personal things- but I'll make it up to you guys~

-IVYS POV-

*~ONE WEEK LATER~*

"I'm sorry for last week- I agree, the kiss was a mistake"

I stared at the message glowing up at me from the phone in my hand, it was from Johnny.

I closed my eyes and let out a gentle sigh- I had sort of been waiting for a text from him, I missed him in a way.

"I'm sorry too, but I don't want us to distance because of what happened though"

I pressed send, my body in angst as I waited for a reply.

I was currently in the bathroom, submerged in bubbly warm water.
I enjoyed being in the bath a lot, It gave me chance to think and relax for once.

I placed the phone down for a second, then picked up my glass of red wine and sipped it lightly- placing it back down once I removed my lips from the rim.

I checked the phone again, and read the quick reply.

"I feel the same"

I smiled as I read the small sentence over and over a few times.
I then placed the phone down and closed my eyes in relaxation.

I let my head roll backward and rest against the edge of the bath, and I felt all the warm water hug my curves.

All I heard was silence, except the occasional drip from the tap.

The day had been long, especially without Joker.
He had been out all day doing some business, according to him-but maybe if I asked Johnny I would hear a different story.

I decided to give it a rest, I couldn't deal with another argument.
I didn't want to question it any longer.

I exhaled gently as I slid further into the water- the silence of the room was relaxing, but it was suddenly disturbed.

The sound of a door shutting with a loud bang, followed by distinct footsteps made me open my eyes once more.

The footsteps clinked against the hard wooden flooring, and they were heading straight for the bathroom.

"Ivy" I heard Joker call out to me- he seemed quite happy by his tone.

"In here" I replied hopelessly. I was disappointed, as my relaxing time had been disrupted.

The bathroom door suddenly opened, revealing Joker topless and his purple trench coat in his hands.
He let out a low satisfied groan, then started approaching me.

I sat up, letting the water trickle down my chest and arms.
When he stood over me, he admired what he saw in-front of him.

"How was your day Princess?" He asked in a quiet raspy tone, as he bent down to be level with my eyes.

He placed his arms on the edge of the bath, then rested his chin on them, looking at me.

"Long" I sighed, turning on my side to properly face him- the sound of the moving water echoed the room.

He extended one of his arms, and he moved a piece of wet hair out of my face, making me blink slowly with a weak smile.

"Well" he said "I'm here now"

"Hm" I mumbled, moving slightly.

Suddenly, he leant forward and splashed his hands under the water, wrapping them around me.
