Monster || Joker fanfic

chapter three

Gotham was awake 24/7 so waking up wasn't a new thing. I'd hear the same things i did at night. Brushing back my hair sitting up remembering last night how terrifying and amazing it was. Amazing I meant by meeting him. He was so intriguing but at the same it was terrifying, I barely knew him and I was already falling.

Getting dressed in black skinny jeans, a blue blouse with sleeves to my elbows and hair down I left the makeup for today and pulled on brown boots.

"Bella!!?" Dad called "come here!!"

I jogged down downstairs and met him in the kitchen.

"Go down the gun store and pick up the rubix X5" he explained "they'll be expecting you"

"The one where Jack works?" I asked

"Yes now don't be long" dad said

I nodded and begun walking.

It wasn't far only about twenty minutes. Walking in a small bell rung above the door. Nobody at the counter. It smelt musty and old.
Walking slowly to it. I ran the small bell on the counter.

"Why hello" he smiled

"Hey' i smiled

"Gun for you dad?" Jack asked

"Yeah...erm rubix x5...?" I answered

He nodded and bent down picking it up passing it too me.
I smiled. Sliding it in the hem of my jeans and covering the top with my shirt. Jack's scent was overpowering. It was minty.

"Be careful' he said 

"I will"

"Oh I'm starting work with your dad actually.." He begun

"Really? When?" I asked

"In a few weeks" he answered

I thought about what ivy said to me

"Is your girlfriend okay with that?' I asked

A light laugh escaping his lips. "I don't have a girlfriend"

"Oh so your wife??"

"I live on my own Bella" he said

My stomach did a small flip.

'Oh.." I begun.

He smirked gently and folded his arms..

"So...you don't use guns but you work in a gun store..." I begun

"I've killed two people in my whole life' he admitted

"But you said...

"I know what i said. I wasn't exactly going to admit to it last night was I?" He said

His tone was stern and quite frankly quite frightening.

I cleared my throat.

"Do you get many customers" I asked

"To be honest yes...its busier than it looks "he explained " the machine gun is the most popular'

Making a hand motion to the gun on the wall.
I looked over then at him.

"Take a look" he said

I slowly walked over and admired it. Running my nails over the metal. It was cold to touch and threatening.

Jack joined my side.

"I always wanted to try a gun but I'm not allowed..."

"I could show you"  he suggested "i mean customers usually go into the back to train..."
