“That’s a wrap for today people! Odessa may I speak with you for a moment.” Chris turned to Odessa as actors and film crew alike all walked past on their way home or to trailers to change.


The day had been exhausting. This movie was to be the last in the series that Chris Nolan was directing and he was being very demanding of the support staff. Odessa tried to walk him through the struggle that Bruce was going through with his continuing to be the caped crusader and it was exhausting. Chris expected perfection, especially from her.


“Great job today. Now we won’t need you until the day after tomorrow. Why don’t you bring in some of those story boards and we can go over them with Christian and Anne and see what they think. Have a good night.” She felt proud of herself in that moment and as Chris hugged her and ran to catch up with Anne Hathaway, Odessa felt herself punch the air in triumph. She had done her father proud, hell she had done Batman proud at this point. Quickly she pulled out her phone and saw that she had some new messages from Andy, of course.


Andy: I wish I was there with you instead of in this recording studio. *pout*
Andy: The guys really want us to go out with them tonight. It’s up to you…
Andy: *whines* I miiiissss yoooouu
Dess: Jesus Andy lol I’m right down the street from your studio. You could have come on set to say hello…
Andy: Does this mean you’re done for the day?
Dess: I’m getting into the car now. I’ll be back in five.


The drive back to the complex was quick and Odessa tried to get as much soot off of her face as possible but it was no use. She would have to shower before going out tonight because she decided that she deserved to have a little fun and she wanted to experience a typical night out with the BVB crew. Finally the car pulled up to the curb and Odessa should have been surprised to see Andy standing there waiting for her, but she wasn’t. She jumped out of the car and ran over and hugged Andy around his waist, smudging soot all over his white t-shirt.


“Why are you filthy?” He asked her as he wrapped an arm around her shoulder and led her back inside.

“They were blowing things up today and since I have to be right there with Chris I was in the blasting zone most of the day. I probably reek of pyro dust and smoke at this point.” She sighed and followed him in to the elevator. He bent down and sniffed her hair and quickly brought his face back up, his nose scrunched.

“You do smell like burnt plastic. You can take a shower before we head out if you want. Did you want to still go out or are you too tired?” He asked her as the elevator came to a stop and they both exited and headed down to his door.


Andy unlocked the door as Odessa moved past him to head towards the bathroom to grab a shower and while she did that Andy sat back down at the kitchen table. He had been working on some new stuff for the album that they were quietly trying to work on. It was hard because he was so proud of this last album and he didn’t know how to top himself. After about an hour Andy finally got up from the table, wondering where Odessa had gotten to he walked back to the bathroom and caught her in the mirror getting ready.

She was gorgeous with her light blonde hair down and in her face, she had even teased it a little in the back so that it stuck up. She was in a tight grey and light blue dress that was strapless and had a low back so that her corset piercing was visible. Her shoes were so high that Andy was pretty sure he would be looking at her face to face tonight and he wouldn’t have to look down at her. As she turned around he noticed the diamond Batman pendent that hung around her neck and he smiled.


“You look amazing…” He reached out, his hands grasping at her waist as he held her at arms length to look at her.


Andy didn’t look so bad himself Odessa noticed as she looked over at him and noticed that his tight black skinny jeans hung low on his hips while his newly replaced shirt was tight across his chest. His hair was down around his face, his eyes popping from the eyeliner that he applied and had topped off the look with various chains and black fingerless gloves. He was definitely swoon-worthy at this point.


“Not so bad yourself…” She nudged his chin with her knuckles as he smirked down at her and grabbed for her hand.

“Are you ready to head out?” He asked as she held up a finger and headed back towards the guest room, coming out moments later with a white leather jacket draped around her shoulders.

“…I don’t know if I’m going to be able to keep my hands off of you tonight Dess…” He smirked down at her as she turned to face him and threw her arms around his neck. They were almost equal in height with her in those shoes.

“I’m not sure if I want you to…” She growled up at him and as he swooped down to kiss her and she quickly turned her face so that his kiss landed on her cheek.

“…fucking tease.” He grumbled as she laughed back at him and led him down the hallway to the street.


They both headed down the street, deciding to walk as the venue that the party was at was only a ten minute walk up the road. They held hands and walked in silence, the tension between the two of them evident as they hit the venue and everyone around them stopped talking and stared. Jinxx came over then, wrapping an arm around Odessa’s shoulders and ushering her to the bar for a drink while Ashley sidled up to Andy and offered him a beer.


“I don’t know if I can do this Jinxx…” Odessa sighed as the bartender handed her a drink and she gulped it down all at once.

“Do what? What is going on between the two of you?” He asked her, gently laying a hand on her shoulder as he watched her down another drink in less than a minute.
“We have this…this connection and we both want to do something about it. Romantically I mean, but I just don’t want to start something if it’s going to be long distance and we can’t even seem to make a friendship work long distance…” Another drink down and Odessa was finally feeling a buzz.

“Andy really cares for you. Maybe you should just give him some space to cool down and then sit him down tomorrow and have this conversation with him instead of me. And slow down!” He laughed at her, his hand coming to rest on hers before she could down another drink.


Andy watched from a safe distance as Jinxx tried to talk Odessa down and he felt Ashley nudge him in the ribs. He wanted to stick with beer tonight as it seemed Odessa was intent on getting smashed and he knew one of them had to be sober enough to get them home safely. He glanced over at the bar and saw that Odessa had disappeared and Jinxx was over in the corner talking to Sammi. So where was Odessa?


“Andy! Come dance with me!” She came sidling up to him, her skirt pushed so far up her legs that he could almost see her underwear. Carefully he reached down and tugged the tight fabric, but she slapped his hands away.

“I want to dance…please?” Her eyes got wide and she pouted at him until finally he laughed at her and followed her onto the dance floor.


The music being played wasn’t really his type of music, but Andy swayed a long with Odessa, watching as her hips gyrated to the beat and soon he felt himself getting in to it. Odessa turned around, her arms coming to rest on his shoulders as their eyes connected and he could see the passion burning within. Her chest was up against him and he could feel her heart racing as she swayed to the music, throwing her head back to laugh loudly. They stayed like this for a while until finally he could tell that the booze had gotten to her because she was quickly becoming incapable of standing on her own two feet.


“How about we head home huh Dess?” He asked her as he threw an arm around her shoulders and motioned to Ashley that he was leaving.

“And do what? Huh? Can we snuggle? I love snuggling with you…”She slurred happily as they hit the street and he could tell that this was going to be a long walk home.

“Sure Dess. Lets just get home and get you out of those shoes before you fall…” He smiled down at her as she looked at him then, a glare flashing in her eyes.

“Fine! I don’t need them!” She said angrily and before he could stop her Odessa was removing one shoe at a time and threw them both down the street.

“Okay this is getting too funny it’s almost ridiculous.” Andy laughed as he reached down and picked her up, throwing her over his shoulder like a sack of sugar. Finally after making it through a slight kicking and screaming fit from Odessa they had ridden the elevator up and were walking into his apartment.


Quickly Andy deposited Odessa on the guest bed and then began to rummage through her drawers to try and find her something to change into. She couldn’t sleep in her dress and he knew he would have to help her change, but he wanted her to be comfortable. He looked over and saw that she had finally passed out and Andy couldn’t but help but smile because even passed out drunk she seemed perfect to him. He was able to get her dress off and he decided to just let her sleep in her bra and underwear, but he was able to get a large the Used t-shirt up and over her head.

Quietly he lifted her up and carried her into his room, laying her down on the bed softly he moved to change himself and found that there were a lot of things he wanted to say, so he said them.


“Dess I don’t know why you can’t be with me the way we both know you want to be. We make eachother so happy and I know that I would try my best to be there for you. Its hard being on the road and being away from the ones you love. I’ve only loved one other girl and my being on the road destroyed what we had so I get your hesitation.” He sat down on the bed next to her, his long legs brushing against hers as he sunk down beneath the covers.

“I love you Dess…I don’t know if I should tell you that or not, but it’s true. Ash thinks I’m crazy but I know deep down that I want you, want this, forever. I want to be that guy, the one at the end of the alter, the guy who gets the Camellia flower…I want to hold your destiny in my hands…I want to hold you forever in my arms.” He felt the tears come to his eyes and he quickly brushed them away as he moved to pull her towards him. He leaned over, resting his forehead against hers as their heads laid next to one another.


“Goodnight Dess…I love you.” He said it once more and finding that he liked those words in regards to her Andy was finally able to drift off to sleep.
