It had been a great night, in a new city. That was how Chloe decided that she would tell Lois about her blind date. Bruce turned out to be a very broody but at the same time kind man. Sure he had his moments, just like Clark or Oliver had their moments…
They had talked about friends and she had mentioned Lois brash but earnest character, and Clarks overprotective character. He had told her about his oldest friend Alfred as well as Rachel. Chloe, who’s interest had been perked at the mention of a girls name wanted to know more. And that was when Bruce retreated for a moment to stare blankly in front of him. His face had been blank and she could feel tension coming from him.
After that they had changed the subject to other things, like her new job at the Gotham Gazette and her new tiny apartment. She had had a really good time with him and Bruce was nothing short of a gentleman. Which surprised her because she thought that Lois would set her up with a different kind of man.
Now, as she made her way to her workplace she couldn’t help but giggle like a schoolgirl with a secret crush whenever she remembered him saying something funny. She probably had a silly grin on her face but she didn’t care. Life was good, she mused. And the city didn’t seem that gloomy anymore. Not that she would know, because she had only been in Gotham for a total of three days.
She hadn’t had time yet to make her self more aquatint with the ‘who is who’ of Gotham. But she figured she would have to today.
She stopped at the coffee shop next to her work and ordered herself a coffee-to-go. While she waited for her order to come, she spotted a magazine with a picture of Bruce on it.
“Oh my god! That’s Bruce!” she said out loud before she could stop herself. The girl behind the counter attending her order turned around and replied happily.
“Yeah! I know. Isn’t it great? He was voted for ‘best looking bachelor of the year’ again!”
Chloe how still hadn’t overcome her initial shock of seeing her blind date from yesterday evening on a magazine front page, grabbed the glossy pages and flew over the article accompanied by several pictures taken at galas and formal dinners.
The girl slid the lid over the steaming drink and handed Chloe her order. To dismiss her she ‘took’ her magazine back and smiled a fake smile “There you go! Have a nice day!”
Chloe could only continue to her workplace in a daze. She didn’t even know how she got to her desk later. One thing she knew, she had to phone Lois! How in gods name did she know Bruce Wayne, resident billionaire and play-boy as revered to by the magazine…?
