I need you

Chapter 3

Mari's POV :

I made it to the park at the same time as Damian. We sat down under the willow tree and talked about a lot of things : Family, friends, hobbies...

Damian : I hope you will never have to meet the heathens I have to call my brothers.

Mari: Why is that?

Damian : They are crazy. The other day, they dyed my cat pink!

Mari : Do you have any pictures? They sound like fun! I don't have any siblings or pets. I've always wanted a dog though.

Damian : Why don't you?

Mari: My parents own a bakery. We live in an apartment above it. Pets would be a health hazard. Speaking of bakeries, I made you these! They are vegan of course.

I give him a box of macaroons and cookies. He smiles. He looks so cute. Wait. IS HE BLUSHING!?!

Damian : Thank you. They look delicious.

Damian's POV :

When she gave me the box I could feel my cheeks heating up.

We keep talking for a bit.

Damian : would you like to go to a Cafe? I know a good one not to far away.

Mari : Sure!

When we get there we order tea and a slice of cheesecake.

The conversation kept flowing. The way she starts rambling when talking about her designs. It's cute. For some reason, we started talking about video games and decided to go to an arcade.

Mari : I'm gonna kick your ass!

Damian : Keep telling yourself that, Angel.

Mari : Is that a challenge?

Damian : Let's make a bet. If I win, I get to sketch you. If you win, I will be your slave for 24 hours.

Mari : Deal! The winner is the person with the most tickets in 2 hours. Let's go!

°Time skip°

Mari's POV :

The two hours are up! I have 900 tickets. No way Demon is going to beat me!

I see him approach me. He has a lot of tickets to.

Damian : I have 900 tickets. You?

Mari : Same. I guess we're tied. So, what do we do now?

Damian : Let's just say we both won. I'll be your slave tomorrow and I will sketch the next day. Sounds fair?

Mari : Sure.

I finally realize what time it is.

Mari: I have to go now. See you tomorrow!

I kiss his cheek and walk back to the hotel. As soon as I go to bed, I realize what I did. I KISSED HIM! On the cheek, but still! I can feel my face heating up. I then hear my phone vibrate.

Demon 😈:
Goodnight Angel.

Angel 💖:
Goodnight Demon❤️😴

Damian's POV:
(When they left the arcade)

Mari: I have to go now. See you tomorrow!

She kissed my cheek and walked away. As soon as she turned around, my cheeks started heating up. SHE KISSED ME! On the cheek, but still! I get my face under control and called Alfred.

He arrived a few minutes later in the limo and brought me home. I went on patrol. There was no sign of the girl I saw last night.

I went home and ate. The heathens weren't back yet so it was peaceful for once. I went to bed. Before turning the lights off, I texted Angel.

Demon 😈:
Goodnight Angel.

Angel 💖:
Goodnight Demon❤️😴

I smiled as I fell asleep.

Third person's POV :

Over the next week they met up everyday. All in all, they were really enjoying each other's company. At the end of the last day of the week, they were watching the sunset over Gotham from Damian's favorite spot.

Damian's POV :

Mari : Damian?

Damian : Yeah?

Mari : Would you like to go on a date with me tomorrow night?

I was dumbstruck. I just stared at her for a minute before finally being able to speak again.

Mari : You don't have-

Damian : I would love to! Sorry, you just surprised me...

We both started laughing. Damn, her laugh is beautiful...
