WHOOP WHOOP another update!

Im getting better now and yea that's pretty much it. (I already am better.)

Anyway,enjoy the chapter!

~oOo~

I regret for taking the offer but not at the same time. But Here we are,at the table,waiting for The Bruce Wayne to come from his work and have a nice dinner -- made by Alfred -- to join us for the night.

"Ah,Master Bruce glad you're back. We have a guest staying here for the night." I heard Alfred from the other side of the room. I think he's here already.

Thinking back to what Tony said to me a few minutes ago made the anxiety kick in. But I decided to ignore it.

Make sure not to talk to him unless you had to.

Avoid any questions that too personal and something that involves me.

I heard footsteps coming and i steadied my breathing to keep me calm and the nervous inside me. Dick sent me a 'are you okay?' Look. I nodded.

I play with my hands before Bruce Wayne came in sight to join us for dinner.

Seeing him in person is almost -- keyword: almost -- intimidating. He's broad shoulders. His 'smouldering intensity' face. Would make all the people around him intense. I'd say he'd make the perfect Batman. Or is he?

"Ah,you must be Camile Edwards. Burce Wayne. Nice to meet you." He extands his hand for me to shake.

"Yes,that would be me. Nice to meet you too." I smiled and shakes his hand.

"She will be staying with us for tonight. Due to the heavy raining outside. We do not want her to get sick coming home." Alfred reminds.

Bruce nods as in he understand. "I agree. We wouldn't want you to go back home alone in the night. Who knows what's out there." Dick adds.

Alfred then serves us with delicious foods. The smell is already making me drool and cant wait to start to dig in. But i can't do that cause They'll think i don't have table manners.

Once the food has served. We eat in silence. Not the comfortable one but this silence has tension in it. A knife can cut it open.

"How was school today?" Bruce asks.

Oh i don't know? The fact that the Popular Group didn't disturb me or bullying is weird. Cause they usually started bullying me every chance they got.

But instead I say "it went fine."

"How was yours Dick?"

"The same thing as well." Dick says.

"What do you always do at home Camile?"

I almost tremble but I keep it cool. Why does he suddenly ask me about what im doing at home? "I barely at home. I usually works at a Café but also a diner near the school."

Duck shifts in his seat. I sneak a glance at him and saw that his getting tense. Suspicion grows inside of me.

"How old are you?"

"14."

"Aren't you so young to be working at the age of 14?"

"Uhh..no I don't think so" I found myself getting uneasy. I can't take this tension anymore. I need to get out of here. I come up with a quick excuse saying I want to sleep after an exhausting day. They nodded in understanding.

Since they're still eating,Alfred showed me the guest room and give me some clothes for the night.

Now im laying on this comfortable bed thinking about what could possibly happen in the next few hours. The back of head started to hurt as im overthinking some of scenarios. I decided to let my mind and my body to rest and im slowly drift off to a dreamless sleep.

~oOo~

I almost let myself in panic when i woke up. The first thought on my mind was:

WHERE AM I?!

Before I recall back last night's event. I've stayed at The Wayne Manor. How crazy is that? I mean,it's not that easy to just go inside a billionaire's house and slept in.

I got ready and wear the clothes that Alfred gave me while im showering. It's just a white blouse with a black ribbon on it with black skinny jeans. I tied my hair in a tight ponytail.

After I was done,I went through my phone to see anything new from Tony. Sadly,there's nothing. I sighed and decided to have breakfast downstairs.

I spotted only Dick there. Once he saw me he smiled. I returned it. As if he was reading my mind,he said: "Bruce left for work. He always leave early." I nodded. I sit across from where he's sitting. Alfred serving us some pancakes. I can already tell that it's gonna taste good by the looks of it.

I dig in and once it fills in my mouth and I moaned. "These are so good. Not gonna lie." Dick chuckles. I swallowed it and say,"Alfred,maybe you can teach me some time making pancakes. These are so good" I compliment him.

"Thank you for the compliment Miss Camile and of course." He smiled and leave to do whatever he's been doing after he served our food.

"Alfred made the best pancakes in the manor." Dick admits.

"Yea no joke. But I think he already knew that." I whispers. Gesturing Dick to a smirking Alfred while washing the dishes with my head. He heard us alright. We laughed.

I thanked Dick and Alfred for letting me stayed for the night. And I told them to let Bruce know as well so he won't worry about me suddenly gone from the manor. I also thanked Alfred about his delicious pancakes. Dick laughed at my statement while Alfred mimics him.

I told them I can handle myself from here. But Alfred insists to drive me home. I told him it's fine but he's still insists to. Dick seems to trust me and assured him. Alfred finally gave in and let me go. That man really worried about me.

~oOo~

Since I got no work today. I go to the library. Just a few blocks from the manor. I've always loved the library. It's my escape place.

As soon as I walk through the wooden doors. The smell of fresh books hit me. I saw Mrs Ernice at the counter reading a book as usual. If she's not reading a book,she'll either arrange the new books or cleaning the dusty ones on the shelves. Sometimes I'd hide myself so that I wouldn't get called to help. Hehe oops.

The library is so big that you could get lost in here. The size of it,isn't as big as the manor's size. It's a bit smaller than the manor's. So no biggie. It's just that there's so many shelves. It's like a cornfield but it's replace by books.

I sit at my usual spot,at the very end of the library. Where there's furnitures around a fire. Just like the manor's. There's no people here cause it's the weekend. Which is good.

Since Im at the very end of the library. No one can hear me sing. Even Mrs Ernice can't hear me. She loves me too much to scold me. Since I was her favourite in here. Well,since im the only person who comes here almost everyday.

I go through my phone to see any good songs I can sing since this was a good opportunity for me. Nobody can say,"stop my ear HURTS." Or shushing me because it's a library. Now there's no one here,im gonna take that chance. I don't care what I sound like.

Good or bad,I still do it anyway.

I put on my speaker on the desk -- putting on medium volume of course -- and play I Think He Knows by Taylor Swift. Since her album is out. ( AN: ITHK IS MY FAV TRACK. SHE JUST SLAYED IT OMG.)

I think he knows
His footprints on the sidewalk
Lead to where I can't stop
Go there every night
I think he knows
His hands around a cold glass
Make me wanna know that
Body like it's mine

I sing as I was doing face expressions and gestures like how she sings it while I walk around the library.

The song continue until it came to the bridge of the song. Now,I sit on the sofa ready to sing the dramatic part. It's not really dramatic but that's what I call it.

Lyrical smile, indigo eyes, hand on my thigh
We could follow the sparks, I'll drive
Lyrical smile, indigo eyes, hand on my thigh
We could follow the sparks, I'll drive
"So where we gonna go?"
I whisper in the dark
"Where we gonna go?"
I think he knows

I stood up. And half yelled the last part. And dance around the area.

He got my heartbeat (Heartbeat)
Skipping down 16th Avenue (Baby)
I got that, uhh, I mean (I mean)
Wanna see what's under that attitude like (Yeah)
I want you, bless my soul
And I ain't gotta tell him, I think he knows
I think he knows

I want you, bless my
I want you, bless my
I want you, bless my (Oh, baby)
I want you, bless my soul (He got my heartbeat)
I want you, bless my (Skipping down 16th Avenue, baby)
I want you, bless my soul
I want you, bless my soul
And I ain't gotta tell him, I think he knows

I stop,and cross legged my feet and twirl myself around and pose as the song end. I was panting because of the singing and dancing around the area.

Best day ever.

This is one of the days Im looking forward to. No distraction. Nobody's around. No interruptions. Just me,myself and I.

Alone.

I was about to squeal of happiness before I heard a clapping noise behind me.

So much for 'no interruptions'. But oh boy,someone's a dead meat right now.
