บท 25: Dinah Drake (2)
"No, I am not hungry … now go away." She says while clutching her stomach hard and looking down again.
"Look we don't have a cleaning lady at my house, so you can do that and consider the food and bed as your payment." I tried again clearly knowing how stubborn she is.
"Are you really giving me a job? … Don't you have to ask your parents for that?" She asks aggressively, pulling my shirt, speaking with a little more life in her voice.
I looked down into her blue eyes. Her face was dirty, she was wearing an old denim jacket, underneath which was a torn grey t-shirt, and blue jeans which had holes in it, still at this moment in y eyes she looked pretty.
"No, I live with only a friend of mine … Just come with me and you will know."
Before she speaks anything else, I bend down and take her in a princess carry and zoom to the sky.
"What are you doing put me down … put me down now, or I will bite you …" She struggled a bit looking at me in anger and shouting aloud before realising that we are flying pretty fast in the sky. "Whoah! shit we are flying, we are seriously flying!"
For someone who was starving a moment ago she sure was energetic.
Before she can make more noise, we arrived at the balcony of an old building.
"Hey are you god, or angel or something?" She looked at me and the direction we came from.
I ignored her question and put her down. I could already see Selina coming to open the glass door probably from all the noise Dinah made.
Selina comes out and looks at Dinah up and down. Dinah is still looking at me for my answer.
"So who is this and where did you pick her up from?" Selina asks me, clearly not happy at me bringing a strange dirty girl to her house.
"Who are you?" Dinah asks only now noticing Selina and almost growling the question out.
"Selina I will tell you everything, let her take a bath first, and can you give some of your extra clothes for her to wear too, please." I look Selina in the eye , after a second she mouths ok to me and waves Dinah to follow.
"You first take a bath, and then we will have some food to eat ... the questions can wait for later." Looking down at her clothes and smelling them a bit she nods and goes inside quietly.
I look down at Gotham, trying to ignore all the milder crimes happening within it , what the hell is Jim Gordon even doing. I checked and saw him writing a report in the police station.
"Please tell me that she isn't gonna stay here … You know I barely make do as it is, I can't feed another mouth" Selina comes up behind me, still a bit angry.
"I have told you to stop stealing so many times Selina … Look I have a way, by which you can make much more money. But you have to promise me that you will consider my request of leaving Gotham city." I go ahead and hug her, running my hand through her smooth black hair.
"If not now then in the future, whenever you are comfortable, I just need a yes from you … Look, I just worry about you, Gotham is not a nice place to live in." I tell her softly in her ears.
"Is this the money making way you are talking about?" She says eying a small golden egyptian artifact in her hands , which she took out from my pocket.
"There is a lot more where it came from … It's real gold and it was found in an authentic egyptian burial site, so it is not stolen." I hold her hand which is holding the artifact.
"I can give you them for selling. You take whatever commission you want, you can take all the money for yourself too, just say yes." I rub my fingers over her lips gently, almost wanting to feel them again.
"Ok yes, I will shift to a new city, happy. But not now, after I have made enough money here." She give me small peck on my cheek clearly annoyed by how stubborn I was.
"Now tell me what's the deal with that girl?" She asks remembering the stranger taking a shower in her house.
"She has had a very rough life and I wanna help her … Can you keep her with you for a while, you can make her do housework as payment"
"Why do you wanna help her ? Do you like her ? But she is just a kid … but you are also a kid" She says almost mumbling to herself in the end.
"Alright don't think too much, let me go out and buy some pizzas for us." I knocked gently on her head, and took back my wallet which she swiped from me while we were hugging.
She stuck her tongue out to me cutely and went back inside.
I look outside at the city, heave a sigh and fly fast towards it.
