The Girl Next Door (RDJ FANFIC)

Starting again

Chris had been amazing, he let you stay with him for a few days but then he had to go off to shoot a movie. He offered me his apartment but it was time to face the music. I had made my way back to Rob's place. I spent the entire day throwing out all his furniture, trashing his bed and boxing it up and putting it all outside. It wasn't there long. Of course his fans want anything of his. I cleared all his furniture by 6pm that night. The place was now empty. It still feels dirty somehow. So out comes the cleaning supplies and give this place a deep clean.

By 8pm your dripping in sweat, you have scrubbed the entire place. You sit on the floor and pull your MacBook out of your bag and decide to buy new furniture for the place.

Knock knock knock

Ahh Chinese food! "Two seconds"

I run to the door with money "your not my food"

"Your not Robert"

"Nope sorry no penis"

"Who are you?"

"Your Susan. I'm Lexie. What are you doing here?"

"I've been away for awhile, I've been shown all these articles of Rob and I'm worried"

"He's fine!"

"He doesn't look fine"

"He wasn't and now he will be"

"Listen I know how to look after him maybe you should take me to him"

"Oh definitely not! He's fine I've got this"

"How old are you?"

"What does that matter?"

"Well considering he's been with a different woman every night for the last few months. I keep thinking why does this child think that she can help my husband"

"Ex husband and we both know I'm not just his latest conquest"

"Why because you screwed him when we were married?"

"Like you screwed any guy you could right?"

"Look I'm not here to fight with you, Rob slept with you once and I had an affair. I'm over it I don't care I'm just worried about him"

"I've put him in a rehab"

"What? He wouldn't go to one of them"

"He would for me and he has"

"He hates them places"

"He loves me"

"Oh yeah it shows by all these women"

"We weren't together. I left him 6 months ago hence the downward spiral"

"He's like this because of you left him?"

"Look, I'm sure you care about him and I will let him know you stopped by but honestly can you just leave because I need to continue my online shopping"

"Left his credit card behind did he?"

"I wouldn't need his. I have plenty of money myself honey"

"By selling his stuff? Where is it all? The sofas everything we bought"

"I threw it all. Did you want it? I'm sure you can go wrestle strangers on the street for it"

"Look I didn't come here to fight you"

"No? Then why be so hostile towards me?"

"You slept with my ex-husband while we were married"

"Your right I'm sorry, I'm sorry that I did that it wasn't cool and again sorry but you cheated on him too so please don't act like your innocent in this"

"Your right, I'm sorry Lexie. I was worried when I saw the articles, I was with him when he was like this years ago"

"Yeah I read up about it, I checked him into a rehab because he needs it. He's got demons and I can't fight them and neither can you and neither can he without help"

"Your a good woman Lexie, I'm sorry I came in all guns blazing"

"It's fine, would you like to come in? Glass of wine? Bury the hatchet?"

"You drink?"

"I shouldn't. I'm an alcoholic and former drug user but I have the odd glass now and again I won't ever drink in front of Rob again"

"I didn't touch a drop of alcohol the whole time we were together, when I met Jimmy and he poured that glass of wine I felt free. I did love Rob and a part of me will always love him but now I'm free and I can live and not always be on edge"

"So that wine?"

"Yes please"

She's really not that bad at all, I mean I get it I was a handful for Jase, many times he wanted to leave me over the years. We drink the entire bottle sitting on the floor, the Chinese arrived and we shared some food together. I really enjoyed her company she told me more stories of her and Robert and I shared my own.

"I can't believe how long I've been here, Jimmy will be worried"

"Time flies when you have fun, thank you for this Susan"

"Your welcome and I really wish you the best of luck with him Lexie. He is a good man with a heart of gold and he would die for you given half the chance he's just a little broken"

"I promise I'll look after him"

"Just make sure someone looks after you"

"I have plenty around me"

"Here's my number, if you ever need anything and I mean anything at all.. don't hesitate to call me"

It ended with a hug and she left.

Could I really do this with Robert? Is he really that damaged? I'm damaged too! Are we right for each other?
