He Lived For Her~ A Joker Story

Chapter 61- Euphoria

"Come on princess" I grinned, out of breath.

She bit her lip, and I could see little tears in her eyes.
She looked so happy, I didn't know I could have that effect on people...

Once we got into the bedroom, I placed her down on the bed gently, and I hovered over her.

I missed this so much.
God, I missed her so much.

-IVYS POV-

He looked down as he hovered over me.
He seemed to be inspecting my features, and processing my presence again.

When I saw his face in the door way, fireworks exploding inside of me. I felt complete euphoria.
When he saw me, I remember his face lighting up.
I knew he just wanted to kiss me and hold me.

I looked up at him, and smiled. He hadn't said anything for a couple seconds, he was just looking into my eyes.
"Are you okay?"

After my words, he leant down and brushed his lips against mine.
"I am now"

We kissed again deeply, we couldn't resist each other.
He pressed his body against mine, and I could feel his every breath.
His touch was so warm, his smile was so true.

I rolled him over, so I was now on top.
I pulled away, and straddled him.

"Thanks for blowing up a hospital for me" I joked, as I ran my hands down his bare chest.

"Anything for you, princess"

He brought both his hands to my waist, but then placed them where my baby bump once was.

He looked at that place on my body for a couple of seconds, then sighed.

"It was a little girl" I mumbled, taking his hand from my stomach and holding it in mine "I named her Ingrid"

He looked up at me, and gave a sad smile.
His eyes were slowly turning bloodshot.

"Ingrid" he closed his eyes "what a beautiful name"

He tightened his grip in my hand, then breathed out deeply.
"Are you okay Ivy?"

"Yeah...I guess"

"No, are you okay?" He asked again, leaning up.

He was now sat up, and I was still straddling him.

I felt him run his fingertips up and down my back, sending shivers down my spine, sending my mind off course.

"J...I swear...I'm okay now"

"Ivy...your eyes are different...they're darker...it's like there's a winter storm inside each one...you're not okay princess"

I looked down to avoid his loving gaze.
I didn't want to talk about it right now, and I was even more embarrassed that he could notice my unhappiness.

"I'm bound to be sad...but I'll be okay, I promise"

I felt his hand make contact with my chin, lifting it up to meet his icy, blue eyes.

"I'm sad too" he whispered, now moving his hand to the side of my face and caressing it gently.

We stayed silent for awhile, comfortable with each other's presence.

Our foreheads ended up together, and our noses touching slightly.
I can't remember how it happened, my mind was a blur.

"J...can I ask something?" I questioned quietly.

Our faces were so close together, our lips would touch slightly as we spoke.
We enjoyed being close like this, it was intimate but loving.

"Yes Princess?"

"Can we fix up the mansion?"

He pulled away slightly, and chuckled.
"What?"

"Like paint the walls..." I suggested sweetly "and maybe get furniture what isn't dusty"
I laughed at my little joke.

He thought about it for a moment, then tightened his grip around me.
"Let's do it"
