Let me in. (Robert Downey Jr Fanfic) Complete

39. The Fire

I woke up and yawned while stretching but kept my eyes closed. It's the first sleep in a week that I wasn't awoken by a nightmare that involves a certain crazy bitch. As soon as I realized why I probably hadn't had a nightmare, a bright smile formed on my face. I slowly opened my eyes and turned my head. I couldn't help but giggle at the sight. He looks so peaceful in his sleep and even with his hair all over the place, it still looks really good. I bit my lip, trying not to laugh out loud when I heard his soft snores. I reached out my hand and gently rubbed his jaw with the back of my fingers. I felt his stubble and I noticed that it looks really good on him. It defines his manly jaw a lot more. He shifted slightly and his soft snores stopped. He slowly opened his eyes and stared into mine. A loving smile appeared on his face.

"Good morning, beautiful." He said in his morning voice which sounded really adorable and sexy at the same time.

"Good morning, handsome." I giggled and he chuckled. I could feel him wrapping an arm around my waist and pulling me closer to him. I rested my head against his chest and he rested his chin on my head.

"Sleep well?" He asked.

"I did actually."

"Really? That's great. I wonder why?" He said in a knowing tone and I couldn't help but giggle.

"Honestly, I have no idea!" I said acting surprised.

"Really? Not even one reason comes to mind?" He said acting surprised as well.

"Nope!" I said popping the p. He chuckled and gave a kiss on my forehead before letting me go and standing up stretching. I felt my face turn red from blushing when I noticed that he still wasn't wearing anything.

"I'm going to take a shower and make us breakfast. See you downstairs in a bit?" He said while turning around to face me. I quickly pulled the covers over my head so he couldn't see my tomato face.

"Yeah ok!" I squeaked. He started laughing out loud.

"Checking me out weren't you?" He said in a childish tone.

"N-no! I-I'm just... c-cold!" I stuttered, mentally face palming myself. He started laughing again.

"Sure thing babe, see you in a bit." I heard him putting on his clothes and walking out of my bedroom. I immediately threw the blanket off me because it was getting harder to breath under there. I decided to take a shower too. In the shower my mind trailed off to last night's event and I started to feel my heart beating in my chest. It made me so happy just thinking about it. I'm definitely falling big time for this man. I guess it's meant to be since we were in a relationship before my accident. I just love the way he treats me like I'm a princess and the way he cares and worries and makes me feel better when I'm sad. I just wish that I could remember how we started. How I came to fall for this man the first time and the stuff we did together, the things we talked about. I've been thrown completely memoryless in this world, afraid but he was there with me every second and so was Sophie. I just hope that Veronica will be caught soon and going straight to prison before she has a chance to hurt them. I wouldn't know what to do if she ever got to one of them. The thought scares me to hell! I pushed the thought out of my head and started to think about Robert which made me feel better in an instant.

I went downstairs to the kitchen and found Robert making pancakes and Sophie sitting on the counter looking down at her phone.

"Morning." I said while taking a stand in front of Sophie and next to Robert, leaning against the counter.

"Morning sis! How'd you sleep?" She asked with worry in her voice. She knows about my nightmares and looks at me with worry every morning.
