Joker had gotten all he had set out to do, done. He even managed to clear a table at the large highrise restaurant that overlooked the beach. He was clean shaven again and his hair was slicked back. The silk black suit dressed over him perfectly and covered up most of his scars and tattoos. Despite the life he lead that left his body beaten to hell and back today you couldn't tell anything was wrong except the bandage on his arm. With a flick of his wrist he adjusted the platinum watch on his wrist and checked the time. He was early as always so he decided to sit in his car and wait. The smile he had on his face since the morning was still plastered there and he was riding a high that he hadn't felt in a long time, the high of being guilt free and happy.

Moving in his seat a bit he pulled out the velvet covered black box. It was only a few inches wide and a few inches think but the real prize, what he had spent more then half the day trying to track down was what he had bought years ago. While Faye had slept he double checked and knew the size was exactly the same now. He had let the opportunity slip away before, this time, no this time there was no letting go. He caught the light from her car in the rear view mirror and smiled, slipping the box back into the underpocket of his jacket. Calmly and slowly despite his anxiety he stood from the car and adjusted himself.

Faye was never one for dressing up, but that didn’t mean she wasn’t capable of it, nor didn’t have a couple of the odd dresses in. Above all else though she hated surprises and Joker was certainly pulling a surprise on her. He had been acting odd since that morning, asking her funny questions and then told her to dress up for that night. Shaking her head ever so slightly she did just that she returned home for work. She knew she would be cutting it close, it had taken her a while to get free from work, so she had broken virtually every speed limit there was in her mad rush to get home. Once inside she had headed straight for the shower, given herself a quick wash down, and then rummaged around in her closet for the perfect dress.

Taking Jokers words to heart she dressed in her little black dress, one that fit her curves perfectly. Blowing drying her hair as quickly as she could she headed straight back out. The address he had given her had her raising her brow slightly, but none the less she shrugged a shoulder and pulled the car into a space, her dark eyes quickly finding his large form. Walking over to him she lent up pressing a soft kiss to his lips. “You look amazing” She stated gently, fingers brushing over his cheek “Now whats the special occasion?”

Joker said nothing in response except, "You look amazing m'love." His Irish accent slid out and he pulled her close into a deep kiss. Slowly letting her go he offered his arm out in true gentleman fashion. "I just wanted to take you out for a night on the town, I owe you that at least." He looked up at the building and escorted her inside. He made small talk but continued to avoid any questions about what he had planned until well after they had eaten. As the waiter cleared the table with the exception of two glasses of wine Walter moved his hand to grab his fork, "I got this great magic trip...crap!" He said 'Accidently' knocking the wine glass over spilling some on his pant legs and shoe. He grabbed a napkin and bent over to clean it off, he was in a kneeling position when he said, "I need something stronger then this napkin." His hand reached into his breast pocket and pulled out the small box. Slowly he looked up a sly grin on his face and opened it. Inside was a white-gold ring with a flawless diamond in it with two simple yet small pearls inlaid on either side.

"Faye, would you do me the honor of being my wife?"

A blush crept over the apples of her cheeks and she let out a deep breath her eyes flicking closed ever so slightly. “Well a night on the town sounds fun” She stated gently, her gaze shifted over towards him with a raise of her brow. He was doing it again, being all cryptic, and he still hadn’t answered her questions, and in fact he was starting to freak her the hell out. Yet she attempted to keep it to the back of her mind. Here he was being nice, and keeping something from her and now he was giving her small talk, oh yea something was going off. Licking her lips she shook her head god she could just strangle him for holding out on her.

“Since when did you become a clutz?” She questioned with a raise of her brow as she watched him clean up after himself, her brow furrowing ever so slightly. Then her heart caught in her throat then began pounding. For a moment she just stared at him, blinking ever so slightly before she fully focused on the ring. “What?” Biting the inside of her lips she laughed gently before slowly nodding her head.

“Yes” She whispered softly “Yes”

Joker smiled and looked into Faye's eyes and slowly slid the ring around her finger and then, taking her hand pulled her from her seat into a deep and passionate kiss. The patrons of the restaurant seemed to go quiet before someone started to clap but he didn't break the kiss to see who it was everything he wanted was embodied right in front of him and right now he was the happiest man on the planet.

What ever she had been expecting to come out of tonight that had not been it. She was totally shell shocked, she still couldn’t believe it, even as he slipped the ring on her finger. It wasn’t until he pulled her up from her chair and to his lips did she break out of her funk and return the kiss, her fingers sliding through his hair and tugging him closer to her form. Pulling away slightly she just gave him the biggest smile she could muster. “Best date ever” She whispered softly, her fingers caressing his cheek.

“So this was al the secrets were about huh” She questioned raising her brow as she looked at him, god she couldn’t believe he had managed to keep it a secret so long “I love you”

"I love you too baby." His accent came out again, he was lost in happiness. "I was planning on doing this years ago...but then things went topsy turvy, but now. Now we can do this for real."

Her eyes shone as she looked at him “You mean mad men with guns tried to take you out” She rose a brow at him, but then smile never left her face. God she had never thought they would be here, like this together all these years later.

“I never knew” She whispered gently, shaking her head slightly. “But we can” She nodded her head. “You do realize your going to have to tell Leon right” She teased slightly resting her hand against his chest. Licking her lips she smiled.

“Lets take a walk” She whispered taking his hand in his own and leading him outside.

Joker smiled and followed her. He slowed to a walk and pulled her back to another kiss when they hit the beach. The moon was bright white and full and she looked so beautiful. "God, how long ago were we out on a beach like this?" He looked around then went back to looking into her eyes, he pulled her close and 'lost' his balance falling backwards into the sand with her on top of him. He felt like they were kids again.

Faye smiled into the kiss, her eyes flicking closed at the feeling. She had never thought she would find herself in the position she was in, let alone with the man she had found herself in it with, but she wouldn’t have had it any other way, she really wouldn’t. Looking up at him she shrugged a shoulder “It feels like a life time ago” She stated gently, her fingers trailing down the side of his cheek and down his neck.

A soft gasp fell from her lips as he feel, readjusting herself she let out a low laugh, shaking her head slightly, fingers lifting to smooth the locks of hair over her shoulder. “Your rather comfortable you know” Leaning down she pressed a soft kiss to his lips before pulling away slightly, settling herself on top of him.

“Its beautiful out here tonight”

"Mostly because you're here to complete it." He smiled despite how cheesy the line was. But in his mind's eye it was true, he had spent plenty of time on the beach but never had it feel like this. He was completely relaxed, the warm air, sound of the water on the sand and now the comfort of Faye laying on him. He ran a hand through her hair slowly, content to just rest her holding her in silence. "You know I'm never letting you go again right?"

She laughed again shaking her head ever so slightly “That’s just cheesy” She stated with a small shake of her head, her brow crinkling ever so slightly, but god if she didn’t love him. Heaving in a deep breath she let it out slowly allowing her body to relax against him.

“Well you go to all this trouble, I would hope so” She stated gently. Resting her hand against his chest she slowly let out a calming breath, her dark hues dropping down to the ring on her finger. “Its beautiful you know, you got some good taste” She whispered softly before leaning down to press a soft kiss against his lips.

“Mmmm I could stay like this forever”

"I actually dove for those pearls myself." He smiled and looked into her eyes. "And I have to say, I got one more surprise if you don't mind moving just a little bit more tonight." His eyes had that sly look to them again. Today he had spent more then enough time getting -everything- he wanted done.

Faye smiled slightly “You know that I actually believe” She stated with a gentle laugh. Her brow furrowed ever so slightly and she shifted upwards. “You know I don’t think you’re going to top this one” She stated shifting of his lap and slowly standing her feet digging into the sand. Looking down at him her eyes twinkled in the moonlight.

“So what this surprise?” She questioned gentle as she offered him her hand. She had no doubt he wouldn’t be able to catch this one. Looking down she caught the reflection of the ring and beamed even wider, but if the surprise was anything like this one oh she was going to love it.

"I need you to close your eyes," He helped her stand and pulled her into a carry, slowly he made his way to his car and softly set her in the passengers seat. After a few minutes drive the car came to a stop and he picked her up again, this time he carried her to a wooden door which creaked open when he shouldered it. "You can open your eyes now." He said softly setting her down on top of a trail of roses. They were in a small hut down the ways from the restaurant, a jacuzzi sat on an open porch facing the water and the trail lead opposite of it. Joker smiled sheepishly as he closed the door behind them and took off his coat.

Her brow furrowed ever so slightly. “Okay” She whispered, allowing her eyes to flicker. She felt him sweep her into his arms and she wrapped one around his neck, allowing her head to rest against his chest, counting the steps as they continued walking. Finally she was set down on the floor, and on his command she opened her eyes. Adjusting to the light she looked around, “This is amazing” She whispered looking over at him, her gaze sweeping down his form. Licking his lips slightly she slowly walked in the direction of the Jacuzzi. Biting the inside of her lip before she did something stupid like, oh I don’t know burst into tears or anything.

“You really did think of everything didn’t you?” She questioned looking up at him with a twinkle in her eyes, “Brings back memories doesn’t it”

"Yeah, just missing the random shooting and blood. But I didn't think that would make this night any better so I told the gunmen to fuck off." He chuckled and walked behind her slowly. He closed the distance and placed his hands on her hips. Gently he pulled her away from the beach view and backwards into the bed room. Carefully he sidestepped and spun her to face the red silk covered bed which the trail lead up to. Roses covered it and he bent his neck to kiss her shoulder. "And this time, they are staying fucked off."

“Yea, they kinda killed the mood last time” She muttered still eying the view, god it truly was beautiful. Feeling his hands on her hips, her body instantly relaxed into him, her head falling back onto his shoulder allowing him to turn her around and her heart caught in her throat. Licking her lips she allowed her eyes to close, relishing in the moment.

“You do know you’re going to have to top this on our wedding night right” Twisting in his arms she slowly wrapped her own around his neck, clasping her hands around his neck as she took a step backwards pulling him with her until she sunk down on the bed.

“This night has been perfection” She whispered looking at him. “Im glad you walked into that coffee house” She muttered arching up so she could press a kiss to his lips.

Joker leaned his head down and closed the distance for the kiss. "Don't worry, I'll find a way. Ever been to the Taj mahal?" He winked and slowly pushed her back against the bed deepening the kiss again and letting his hands wander, retracing what he once knew very well.

Faye let out a soft content breath as she looked up to him, her dark eyes twinkling. “Mmmm farthest iv ever been away from home is right here” She muttered with a soft smile as she allowed her gaze to wander over his features, her hands memorising everything she had once known about him.

Pressing her back against the bed she slowly smoothed her hand down the plains over his back, easily pulling the shirt up that he wore, nails slowly grazing over his skin, back arching into him. “I love you” She whispered, pulling him tighter against him, before her lips moved to trail down his throat.
