7 | Big Brother

THE rest of Jessica's lunch break was spent walking around Metropolis. She showed the billionaire the best spots she's been in love with since college, while also trying to run away from the paparazzi. "So you mean to tell me that they have slices of pizza that are two feet long?" He asked with a raised brow.

"Yup, in Yonker Plaza." She smiled, throwing away her napkin in the trash bin; also picking up the banana peel someone left near the garbage as well. Jessica, being the good-hearted American she was, kept on insisting to buy everything for both of them. She totally forgot he was Bruce Wayne.

He shrugged her off, pulled out his wallet, and paid for every shop they stopped by. Jessica couldn't help but feel special, in a way, but she remembered that he was a playboy. She couldn't afford to get her heartbroken. They parted ways right back at the Daily Planet.

"Tonight at 8:30." Bruce smiled, it seemed like he actually enjoyed himself. Jessica smiled back, handed him her number, and left inside with an adjustment to her glasses; a habit she does when she's nervous. When she reached the elevators, she noticed that maintenance was working on it.

She'll just take the stairs. She made sure she was alone, with no cameras, she super sped all the way up to her floor. While walking to her desk, Lois and Sheilah instantly grabbed her, practically dragging her all the way to the bathroom.

There, she was shoved inside the stalls by the two like teenagers. "The hell!" Jessica gasped, pushing both of them away as she tried to climb up onto the toilet to getaway. Thank god they put the toilet lids on.

Sheilah had a wide Cheshire-like grin on her face as she clapped her hands together. "Tell us everything!"

"Not until we get out of this stall!"

"No!" She shouted pointing her tiny baby finger at the raven-haired female. Jessica scrunched her nose at the two. "We're going to stay in here, talk about our feelings, and try to figure out your ship name!"

"When people come in, they'll see us and think we're lesbians!" Jessica held her hands up. "I mean, it's not a bad thing. I'm all for the community, but still!"

Sheilah snorted at that comment. "I am and I'm proud."

Jessica ran a hand over her face at her best friends, she loved them but sometimes... she wanted to throw them out a window. "Look, we only have two more hours before we go home. It's Friday, so we get off early. Then, I have to go home, get ready, and pray I don't mess up this stupid date..." Jessica instantly cringed, she let those words slip from her mouth. Lois and Sheilah both looked at each other with their mouths halfway to the ground.

"A DATE!" They screeched holding each other while they laughed.

"Finally!" Lois clapped. Jessica felt herself groan, they will always hold that above her head. Jessica, the woman who could never get a date. She loved and hated both of them.

"While you're out with Bruce Wayne, Lois and I are going to drink to celebrate. We're gonna tag along in secret to make sure nothing happens." Sheilah smirked crossing her arms, I can see the wheels turning in her head. "If he ever breaks your heart, OH I SWEAR! THE MAN IS GOING TO DIE. SEXY MAN OR NOT! His d**k is gonna get cut THE f**k OFF!" She exclaimed as Lois nodded her head in agreement. The two burst out of the stall leaving Jessica to wonder if it was too late to cancel.

She was left in the stall just laughing to herself before she decided to follow after her crazy girls. As soon as she walked out of the bathroom, she was met with Clark's stern face. "Clark!" She gasped, wrapping her arms around him, he was back!

When she noticed her brother wasn't hugging her back, she raised a brow. She looked behind her to see if she walked out of the men's room. "What did I do now?" She asked with crossed arms.

Clark followed her actions, he seemed really upset. "I heard the girls screaming about something. Are you going on a date with Bruce Wayne?" He asked sternly. Jessica rolled her eyes and moved past him.

"I don't have time for this..." She grumbled, her brother instantly running her good mood. Clark grabbed her arm to stop her from going anywhere.

"Jessica doesn't make this complicated, ever since Zod you've been different."

"Here's with the Zod thing again." She grumbled with a roll of her eyes. "So what Clark? What? What do you mean by different, hm?" She asked with a glare, snatching her arm out of his grasp.

"You haven't been my sister!" He hissed quietly.

"Well, I'm sorry Clark. I'm sorry if killing someone changes things okay?" She hissed back quietly. "I'm tired and lonely, I'm tired of always seeing you so happy with Lois and I'm tired of being lonely and not having anyone to fall in love with." Jessica vented with her arms slapping to her sides. This caught Clark off guard. He never knew she felt that way, she always put up an 'I don't need anyone' charisma.

"Jess I...-"

"No, save it, I'm going on this date. I'm tired of living in Clark Kent's perfect shadow." With that, Jessica spun on her heel and away from her brother. How was it fair that he could date but not her?

It aggravated her so much. She hasn't had a boyfriend since Oliver and took her time to work on her career. She wanted to be a scientist but did she? No. She's sacrificed almost her entire life for her brother, now she wanted to be happy. Now that she had Bruce Wayne chasing after her, she decided to make the most out of it. She didn't want his money or the fancy title of whatever she could be to him, she just wanted him and his company.

LATER that day, Sheilah was trying to detangle her comb from Jessica's hair. "Jesus f*****g Christ!" She cursed. " I hate your stupid hair!" Sheilah whined with a sigh.

Jessica rolled her eyes. "It's not my fault your brush sucks." She shrugged her shoulders with a smirk. Sheilah punched her in the shoulder and finally managed to detangle the comb from her hair.

"Let's just go with a bun?" Sheilah smiled sarcastically and began to part her hair. "Remember if I hit you, that means you're not doing what I say." Jessica rolled her eyes for the millionth time, god better pray for her himself. After an hour had passed, Sheilah finished her hair. Finishing it off with a s**t-ton of hairspray, Sheliah clapped her hands together. "Ah... let me admire my work." She sighed dreamily.

"Six years of being my best friend and I can't get used to you saying that." Jess chuckled. Sheilah hit her arm with a smirk.

Krypto started to paw at Jessica's leg. She picked up her puppy and walked to the kitchen, Sheilah tailing behind her. "If you want, I can watch him tonight." She volunteered.

"No it's okay, I mean he should be...-"

"It wasn't a question." Sheilah cut her off. "You get nervous when you leave for work, imagine a date." She sassed.

"Fine only for tonight." Jessica put Krypto down and poured his food into the container. The pup started to eat happily. Jessica stood up straight and mentally prepared herself to walk to get her purse when her ankle buckled. Sheilah only laughed.

"Why are you forcing me to wear heels!" Jessica whined.

Sheilah laughed to her heart's content. "Hot damn, that was too funny!"

"God I hate you sometimes." Jessica grumbled. She looked at her watch to find it was 6:30.

Sheilah noticed the state Jessica was in and sighed. "Are you sure you don't want to show Clark?" She asked.

"If Clark doesn't want me happy, then he doesn't have to know." Jessica mumbled while rummaging through her bag. If there was one thing she knew how to do, it was to give her brother the silent treatment. 

At this point, he deserved it.

Suddenly, there was a knock at Jessica's door. She carefully rushed to the door but Sheilah quickly stopped her. "Don't forget these!" Sheilah gasped, plopping the black-rimmed glasses onto Jessica's face. Sheilah was just a lifesaver that way.

"You're the best!"

"I know I am!"

Krypto ran over, whining at the fact Jessica was leaving. Sheilah picked up the pup as Jessica placed a kiss onto his white furry head, her red lipstick staining in the form of a kiss mark. He quickly licked her face in goodbye, parting was such sweet sorrow.

Opening the door, there stood an older male with glasses similar to hers. He bared a kind smile, he looked almost happy to see her.

"Hello Madam Jessica, I am Alfred Pennyworth, I am here to escort you to Master Bruce's home in Gotham safely." He explained with his thick British accent. Jessica blinked in surprise, butler?

"Damn, he got a butler too?" Sheilah mumbled into Jessica's side causing a small giggle to leave the superhero's side. Alfred held his arm out for Jessica to grab, are all British people like this? Jessica linked her arm with the butler and made her way to the car.

"Have fun! If he does anything he's not supposed to I'MMA f**k HIM UP!" Sheilah shouted with her hand waving back and forth, Krypto in her other arm.

Jessica rolled her eyes, an embarrassed blush on her cheeks. She could be so embarrassing sometimes, Jessica looked to Alfred who had an amused look on his face. "I'm so sorry, she's overprotective." Alfred only chuckled, he seemed to be enjoying the situation.

"It's quite alright, is she a sister?"

"Heh, don't I wish." Jessica snorted and entered the car that Alfred was holding open for her. When he closed the door, Jessica started to feel her heart beating faster than she would have liked. Sure this man she was going on a date with was supposed to be highly professional, but, he didn't make it seem that way!

What was the deal with rich men having infatuations with a small-town nobody from Smallville, Kansas?

"Are you ready to go Madam?"

"As ready as I'll ever be."
