-Chapter 2-
"Wanna eat?
[ a r i a n a ]
The light blinds my eyes, as I wince, waken up by the sun.
I sit up, between clean white sheets, legs tangled up with another's. My head throbs, and I can't seem to find my phone.
I cover my mouth, preventing a gasp to escape, as I realized what I did, as the memories came back, crashing on me like a hurricane.
A man, his naked back facing me, slept peacefully next to me. And not just any man.
Cal.
His face, serious, yet calm. I notice scars up his back. What did he endure?
But most importantly, what the fuck did I do?! Did I just sleep with a man I barely knew?
Yes, yes I did.
I stand up, searching for my clothes. I notice them, cleanly folded by the table. Did this man fold my clothes? Who does that? Perhaps he is a clean maniac.
I dress myself up, looking around the apartment. Minimalist, edgy yet simple. This man really has taste.
Suddenly I see a picture of him hanging on the wall, him along with..
Bruce Wayne?
Then I see another picture, of him with who seems to be.. a butler?
I turn back, watching sleep, before opening the door and walking away.

"Damnit!" I tap my phone repeatedly, outside, in the freezing air.
Finally, it connects, and dials Taliana's number.
"Hey.. Ariana."
"Thanks to you, I just slept with a random guy I met."
I hear her spit her food out, which was followed by a few choking sounds.
"Nope, this is not Aria. Goodbye." And the call ends. Just like that.
I take a glance at the busy streets, and I tighten my jacket around me. The last thing I want is catching a cold here, alone, in Gotham. My stomach demands to be filled as I breathe in the smell of bacon and.. pie?
I groan, wanting to find a cab, but was stopped by a cough.
I turn around, preventing myself to cuss in front of my.. one night stand.
Cal eyed me carefully, leaning against the wall. A slight smirk appeared, and I shudder.
Why is he so hot? Geez, I really can't seem to understand my composure today.
"Well?" I ask, freaked out by his comportment.
"Is this your first night stand?" He asks me cheekily.
I sigh, nodding. Jeez.
Cal's the second guy I've ever been with. The first one was Gabriel, obviously.
"Let me ask you a question." He mumbles, crossing his arms. I tense up, looking straight at him.
"Yes, go ahead."
"What are you doing here in Gotham?"
"I'm here.. for, uh, an Internship."
"Ah, I see. Where?"
"Vanderbilt Enterprises."
He nods, eyeing me for a second. I felt naked under his stare, but let's be honest, its not like he hasn't seen me without clothes.
"Vanderbilt, huh?" He draws, and I notice his messy brown hair, who still hadn't been brushed.
"Yep." I nod, awkwardly looking at him, in the middle of the street, and I just realized that my shirt was inside out.
"Wanna eat?" He asks, and at that exact moment, my stomach growls.

"So where do you live?" Cal asks me, taking a bite of his sandwich.
"Primwood Apartments. But my furniture's not here yet, so I have to rent a motel for a while." I state, drinking my juice. Cal had been generous enough to offer me breakfast at his place, which amazes me.
I couldn't stay at the hotel, I couldn't let the media find out I lived here. Alina wanted this to be discreet.
"The motels are dangerous here, you know. I have a spare bedroom, you can use it if you want."
"Oh no, I wouldn't like to burden you. I'm sure you have a tight schedule." I said, noticing the muscles behind his tight shirt.
"Don't worry, it's completely fine. I've had lots of crazy roommates once, I'm sure I can handle a Princess."
Yeah, good luck living with me, hot stuff.
"Well, thank you. I appreciate it."
What did I get myself into?
_________
Yay..
