Daddy's Best Friend | Robert Downey Jr

part 14

A week has passed since diner at Lisa's and not much has happened between me and Robert. My dad has been home quite often so doing anything with Robert would be too risky. We text a lot of the time when dad's around and he's opened up to me a lot about his past and his troubles with addiction but he's still not spoken much about Amber. We have tried to keep our distance from each other but we crave for each other's touch so much. Just brushing up against his skin makes my body tingle for him. I haven't gone a day without thinking about him and wanting to be in his arms again. His lips on my lips. His hands softly running up and down my smooth skin. Him being inside me again.

I stand in the kitchen wearing a pair of white shorts and a bright flowery pattern crop top as I pour my self a glass of water when I feel a warm pair of hands wrap around my waist pulling me back against his hard warm chest. "Robert" I whisper slapping his hand but that just encourages him to grip me tighter.
"Stop. Dad's in the other room, he'll..."
"I know, I know! I just really need you alone. I need to tell you something" he loosens his grip and spins me around to look at him. I look at him worriedly, thinking over everything he might want to talk to me about as his eyes gaze at with a nervous look.
"Meet me in my car in five minutes, we'll go for a drive" before I can respond to him he walks out of the kitchen, leaving me confused and thinking over what the hell he wants to talk to me about.

I walk through the living to find my dad sitting on the couch watching a movie.
"Are you going to come spend quality time with your dad?" He taps the empty space on the sofa.
"Err... I have plans sorry"
"With who?"
"Just some friends. I'll see you later" I quickly say heading towards the lift and pressing the button.
"Do you need me to drive you?" He shouts.
"No I'm fine! They're picking me up"
"Okay sweetie. Stay safe. I love you"
"Love you too dad" I say stepping inside the lift, closing the doors and pressing the button to go to the parking lot.

It's dark and cold down here. It reminds me of the moments before someone gets attacked then shoved in the trunk of someone's car. I quickly walk over to Robert's parking spot to find his car isn't there. Looking around his car is no where to be seen. Taking out my phone I scroll to his number and quickly text him. Paranoid from the echoey sounds that bounce of the walls.
y/n: Where are you? It's cold, dark and I don't want to get attacked!

The sound of screeching tyres and then the beaming of lights from the opposite end of the parking lot makes my heart pound on my chest! The car speeds towards me with no sign of stopping, I can barely see the car as the lights are so bright. Walking quickly towards the exit, I hear the car closer and closer to me. Sh*t, sh*t, sh*t! Starting to run I feel it right behind me then looking out of the side of my eye I see it driving next next to me.
"Get in!" A deep voice says unwinding its window and that's when I recognise the voice. "You're such a f*ckin asshole! You had me scared shitless!" I shout stopping in my tracks not even recognising his car. Robert sits laughing historically behind the wheel!
"You're not even f*cking funny! I'm going back up stairs!"
"No please don't! I can't be alone tonight" he steps out the car quickly leaving his engine still running and walks around the car to me.
"I know it wasn't funny, I'm sorry. Please get the car baby!" My heart melts at the word 'baby' a warm fuzzy feeling ripples throughout me and for the first time something tells me he needs me to listen to something he has to say. "Pleasseeee!"
"Because you said please" I smile and sit in the passenger seat heart still racing from being petrified thinking I was about to die!

As we drive through the night time LA traffic in silence something tells me he wants to say something but he's worried. His finger keeps taping against the wheel although no music is playing, every time he looks over at me and I turn to look at him he gazes forwards again quickly.
"Is everything okay?" I finally break the silence. "Sure! Why wouldn't it be?"
"You're acting weird!"
"Weird how?"
"Like you've got something to say but not sure how to come out with it!"
"Ohh. No I just...."
"Robert, just pull over and talk to me" He sighs loudly but indicates and pulls over to the side of the road. He turns of the engine and sits back in his chair breathing in deeply.
