STATUS : It's Complicated (A Robert Downey Jr. Fanfic)

CHAPTER 13 : COMPLICATED

I woke up with the sun light beaming from the window blinds then directly to my face. I tried to get up but my head is throbbing in pain. I tried to search my other side of the bed but Robert is nowhere to be found. I slowly tried to get up sit on the bed. I saw a note on the bedside together with a glass of water and Advil.

"Be back by 11am. Will get food. Drink the medicine, It'll help you for your headache. See you later. – Robert"

I decided to take the medicine and just go back to sleep. It is only 8am.

I was awaken by light taps on my shoulders. I slowly open my eyes. It is Robert. I checked the time on the night stand, it is already 11am. Wheew! The medicine kicked in and it knocked me out as if I was punched hard!

"Hey..." – Robert said then kissed me in the forehead. I was stunned.

"H...hi" – I answered back with a small smile.

"Come on, let's eat!" – Robert then brought the tray in the bed. He got Chinese food for both of us.

"I don't feel like eating. I just want to sleep. Can you drive me home?" – I asked Robert.

"You have to eat, Kristine. You threw up last night like a Viking! I bet all the food you ate last night were gone! And no, I won't drive you home because Tina and Carl won't be back until Sunday night. I called them this morning. They checked on you. I told them what happened and they are okay with that." – I don't know what to say. Explanation complete!

"I just wanted to stay home. Don't worry, I can take care of myself." – I insisted on Robert but he did not approve it.

"I suggest you stay here. I'll take care of you." – Robert saying while looking at me.

I didn't say a word. I just get back to sleep but he forced me to eat even a few spoonful. Then he cleaned up and brought the food on the side table.

He turned on the TV and he flipped through channels. And decide to just turn it off again. Nothing interesting to watch.

"Robert? Aren't you gonna go home to your family? Susan might be looking for you right now. You didn't come home last night! She must be worried! " – Robert did not respond but instead turned to his side to face me. He just looked me in the eyes.

"Rob---". I am about to ask him again but he didn't let me finish.

"It's complicated, Kristine." – he looks deeply into my eyes. Eyes with sadness. I did not answer.

"We're shaky, you know? We are having some issues that we need to discuss. We are trying to patch things up but I think that's far from happening anymore."- Robert continues to explain.

"I like you, you know that right? Way back in Bali, I cannot forget the meetings that we've had. From then on, I longed for you. It's like you were made perfect for me." – shit. Robert is just making things complicated

I like him. I really do. But It' too complicated because he is still married to Susan and I am working for him. I don't want to be the center of office gossips.

"Robert, I don't want to complicate things. You are still married. I don't want to be the cause of your marriage's break up." – I liked him from the very start. I am not only a huge fan but I began to like him ever since I saw his movies. But today, is totally different. This is a dream becoming reality.

"I'll sort things out for the both of us. Just agree, we can just enjoy what we currently have." –Robert.

"Nothing is official. This is not official. I don't want complications. If this is what you call relationship, then it's forbidden!" – I say to him while I get up but only to be held by Robert's arms.

"We'll see honey, just say you are mine. I'll fix this." – Robert is determined to continue this affair. I suddenly became afraid. I didn't answer him back.

He kissed me in the forehead and said : " Stay with me here, please? Don't leave? Let's just spend the weekend together." – Saying in his sweetest voice.

I just nodded him and he pulled me into a tight embrace.
