Let me in. (Robert Downey Jr Fanfic) Complete

20. Explanation

I woke up and immediately brought my hands to my head. I had an incredible headache a my face hurts like hell. I opened my eyes for a second but closed them immediately. The sun was shining bright through my window and that second of light felt like a knife being stabbed in my head. I laid there for a while feeling like absolute shit.

"Hey Em, you awake? How you doing?" I heard a soft, little voice say.

"Yeaaah." I sighed. "I've been better."

I felt Sophie laying down next to me, wiggling under my blanket.

"I'm so sorry." She whispered.

"What for?" I asked confused.

"If it wasn't for me that guy would've have never attacked you like that." She said with shame in her voice.

I turned my head toward the direction her voice was coming from and opened up one eye.

"Honey." I sighed. "Nothing was your fault. That guy was beyond drunk and you couldn't have done anything to back him off. Honestly Soph, don't worry about it!" I said reassuringly.

She smiled a little and that made me smile too.

"So what happened after I blacked out? I remember some guy knocking out that bastard but that's hit." I asked

"Yeah, that's exactly when you passed out. This guy picked you up and set you down on the backseat of his car. He told me to get into the passenger's seat and asked for the directions to drive us back home. He tucked you into bed and left."

"You asked who he was? So I could thank him." She shook her head.

"No I'm sorry. I was really drunk and stressed out. My mind was spinning out of control so I didn't really look at the guy but..." She stopped.

"But what?" I asked.

"I don't know, I must have been seeing things." She shrugged it off.

"But what Sophie?"

"It's just that.. I can't shake the feeling that he might have known you or something. He was acting really worried about you and was extremely gentle with you. When he laid you down on your bed I thought I saw him kissing your forehead and mumble something to you."

"That's weird?" I said confused.

"Any idea who he might have been?" Sophie asked.

"No clue." I looked over her at my nightstand to find a piece of paper on it.

"Can you pass me that?" I asked gesturing towards my nightstand. She picked up the note and gave it to me. I folded it open, squinting my eyes trying to read it.

- Sonia's café 12:30 PM

Was all it said. I stared at it confused.

"What is it?" Sophie asked.

"I'm guessing a note from that man, telling to meet up today."

"What?!" She sat up straight. "You have a date!" She started giggling

"Should I go? I mean, what if he's a creep or something?"

"C'mon!! He's like your prince charming who came to your rescue. You have to go! To at least say a thank you for saving my pretty face." She said giggling.

I sighed. "I guess you're right." and got up to take a shower and get ready.

"Of course I am!" She said jumping off my bed and walking towards the kitchen.

I got in my car and started driving to the café. I was really nervous. I don't even know what he looks like and what I should say to him. Obviously a thank you for saving my ass but then what? I parked my car onto the parking lot and slowly stepped out of my car and into the café. I scanned the place but I had no idea who I was looking for. I went to sit down at a booth at the end of the room.
