[Alfred P.O.V.]

The Wayne Manor

I was in the middle of preparing dinner when Master Bruce called me from the batmobile, driving on the road. Miss Rose traveled to Europe two days ago for business purposes. She's coming back tonight. She should arrive at any moment.

Master Bruce (over the phone) : "Is Rose home?"
Alfred (replies) : "No, sir."

5 minutes later

Master Bruce : "Is she arrived?"
Alfred : "No, sir."

5 minutes later

Master Bruce (asks impatiently) : "Has she arrived yet?"
Alfred (a little bit annoyed) : "No, she hasn't arrived yet."

5 minutes later

Master Bruce (now worried) : "Is she--", I interrupted him.
Alfred (annoyed) : "No! Stop calling me every 5 minutes. I'm making dinner. I'm sure Miss Rose is fine."
Master Bruce (states) : "It doesn't sound like her to be late. She would call."
Alfred : "Perhaps she fell asleep on the plain. Miss Rose sleeps a lot unlike some who don't sleep at all."
Master Bruce : "I'm going to call her."
Master Bruce : "She's not answering. I'm going to call her later."

5 minute later

Master Bruce (worried af) : "She's not answering, Alfred!"
Alfred : "Stop panicking, sir! I bet she's still in the clouds and asleep."
Master Bruce: "I'm going for her."
Alfred : "Oh dear, you're clearly not listening to me."

15 minutes later

Alfred (calls over the phone) : "Sir, sir?"
Master Bruce (replies entering the batmobile) : "Yes, Alfred?"
Alfred (asks) : "Miss Rose, sir?"
Master Bruce (sights) : "She felt asleep."
Alfred : "Perhaps now you finally start to listen to me. I know you both very well to tell when one of you is in trouble."
Miss Rose (enters the batmobile) : "Hi, Alfred."
(Master Bruce starts the car.)
Alfred : "Hello, Miss Rose. It's nice to hear your voice."
Miss Rose : "Did Bruce give you worries while I was gone?"
Alfred : "You have no idea, miss."
Miss Rose (chuckles) : "I guess we'll have to punish him."
Mister Bruce : "We're coming soon."
Alfred : "I'll wait for you at home."

I heard a beep signal. I thought Master Bruce ended the call but then I've heard their voices. He was still on the line.

Master Bruce : "At home. He's always at home."
Miss Rose : "It's sweet of him. He really cares for you."
Master Bruce : "I thought I book him a week at the spa."
Miss Rose : "The whole week?"
Master Bruce : "Yes."
Miss Rose : "That's thoughtful of you. How about all three of us go together instead, if you can find time? I'm not comfortable sending Alfred anywhere especially not alone and not that long."
Master Bruce : "He would be just fine by his own."
Miss Rose : "But you won't. You won't be able to stop worrying. Am I right?"
Master Bruce (sights) : "I have plans for the two of us."
Miss Rose : "Do your plans include us leaving the bedroom?"
Master Bruce : "No."
Rose : "Cocky."
Master Bruce (states) : "I'm not cocky. I'm just aware of my potential."
Miss Rose (rolls her eyes) : "Oh god, you're unbelievable."
(Master Bruce stopped the car.)
Master Bruce (sighs then admits) : "You make me that way."
Miss Rose (looks at him, melting) : "Bruce."
Miss Rose (shakes her head) : "What's got into you?"
Master Bruce (replies) : "You have been away."
Miss Rose : "Only for two days."
Miss Rose : "Awwww."
Miss Rose (burst into a song) : "You missed me. You can't live with me. I'm the air you breathe."
Master Bruce : "Are you finished?"
Miss Rose: "Yes."
Master Bruce (orders) : "Come here."

I heard them kissing.
I cleared my throat.

Alfred : "Ahem. You're still on the line, sir."
Master Bruce : "I'm sorry, Alfred. It won't happen again."
(Master Bruce hung up the phone.)
