Zodiac (Nightwing x OC) book #1

Chapter 23

I got up the next morning to Dick calling me.

"Good morning," his voice was raspy.

"Good morning," I yawned as I got up.

"So when are you free today?" He asked.

"I'll be free for lunch," I said.

"Alright I'll swing by and we can have lunch together." He said.

"Alright I'll see you then." I Said.

He stayed on the phone while I got dressed. I decided on dark olive green skinny jeans, a floral button up with a cream sweater on top.

"Hey I've got to go." Dick said on the phone.

"Ya I need to finish getting ready. I'll see you at lunch. I love you." I Said as I took my phone off speaker and held it to my ear.

"I love you too, see you then." Dick Said. He hung up and I put my cream heals on and took my purse to the kitchen.

I made myself breakfast, ate, then I did my makeup. I actually got a bit of tai chi in before I had to leave to go to work.

I went down to the parking garage and went to my motorcycle. I took the seat off my motorcycle and put my purse in the storage compartment. I put my hair in a ponytail and took my leather jacket out. I put it on then put my seat back in it's place. I put my ear piece in and called Bruce. I put my helmet on and then drove out of the parking garage.

"Bruce Wayne," he answered.

"Hey Bruce It's Maria." I said.

"Good morning, Maria What do I owe this pleasure of your phone call?" He asked.

"I wanted to know if I could write about Damien?" I asked.

"No," Bruce said.

"Please, I need this story. I need to prove to Perry that I'm a real reporter." I said.

"Well revealing my secrets wont do that." Bruce said then hung up.

"Alright then." I got caught at a red light and I called Dick.

"Hey Maria, What is it?" He asked.

"I need an article for today. And I was wondering I could write about our engagement?" I asked.

"Um I don't know. I mean we haven't even told all our friends." He said.

"Alright." I sighed.

"Hey I'm sorry but you Can once most of our friends know." Dick said.

"But I Can tell my coworkers, right?" I asked.

"Yes I've already told a couple of my coworkers." He said as I pulled into the Daily Planet's parking garage. I parked in my spot and got off my bike.

"Alright I won't write about it but I'm not responsible if any of my coworkers take this and run." I said as I took my helmet off. I took the seat off my motorcycle and I took my purse out.

"Alright, I've got to go. I'll see you at lunch. I love you." Dick said.

"I love you too." I said.

I hung up and took my purse out of the storage. I put my helmet in the compartment along with my jacket and I replaced the seat. I went inside and I went to the floor I worked on. I set my laptop up and I took my camera out and set it on my desk.

I looked in my purse and I still had the newspaper from yesterday in it. I took my journey out and I stole a pair of scissors from Jimmy's desk and I cut out the article out. And folded it and put it in. My journey so I could add it to my scrapbook that I had of my articles I had written.
