The Teacher and Me (Robert Downey Jr Fanfic) (Discontinued)

Chapter 4-After class and Ice-cream with Mr Downey

Weeks have passed since me and Brian went to the cafe and we talk on the phone almost every day and hang out most days of the week when I don’t have homework to do. It was coming up to the end of my English class when Mr Downey said “Marianne can I speak to you after class please” “sure” I said. Kiera asked me “what have you done now” “I don’t know” “ok, see you later” she said as she got her bag and walked out of the classroom. Once everyone had left the classroom I walked up to Mr Downey’s desk and said “you wanted to talk to me?” “Yes I wanted to ask you if that person was still bothering you” “not as much as he was, why do you ask” “I was just concerned” “oh ok, was that all you wanted to talk to me about” “not exactly, umm Marianne I was umm wondering if you would like to umm get some ice-cream with me”. He looked at me worried that I would say no. “Yes, I would love to” his face lit up “really” “yes really” I said laughing. “Ok then just let me get my things and we can go” “ok”. It didn’t take him long to get his things, then we walked out of the building. When we got into the car park Mr Downey said “ok do you want to fallow me, take my car or your car” “well I could drop my car off at my house and then we can take your car but you would have to follow me to my house if that’s ok” “yep, ok shall we go” “yep”. We got in our cars and I drove to my house. When I arrived I got out of my car and got in to Mr Downey’s car. We drove for about half an hour then we finally got to this little ice-cream shop that I have never seen before. It looked so nice and peaceful. Mr Downey was looking at me. “What” I asked him. “Nothing” he smiled at me and I smiled back. He got out of his car and I was about to open the door but he had already opened it. What a gentleman I thought. He held his hand out for me to take. “Why thank you kind sir” “you’re extremely welcome malady”. As we walked slowly to the door he said “so what’s your favourite flavour” “chocolate what’s yours” “mint choc chip” we told the lady what we wanted and then I got my wallet out but he pushed my hand away and said “please, my treat”. After he had paid we sat down to eat our ice-cream. Then he asked “So how are you and Brian doing”. Out of all the things to ask he had to ask me that. “Umm good we hang out most days of the week” “cool, so I see you haven’t been so happy in class lately””oh umm it’s nothing” “are you sure” I sighed “no” “why is that” “well ever since I have been hanging around with Brian I have had so many memories come back in to my mind” “ok, do you want to talk about it” “I don’t know, I haven’t told many people about it” “why” he looked sad. “I just have never wanted too I guess” “ok but I think should tell someone” “that might be a good idea it might make me feel better” “I think it might, do you want to tell me” “umm ok” “ok so what are these memories that come in to your mind” “they are memories of me and my dad” “why are you sad about memories of your dad?”  “I just don’t want to be reminded of him that’s all” “but why don’t you want to be reminded of him” “because he umm died” I said as a tear slowly made its way down my check. “Oh my god I am so sorry, do you mind me asking how he died” “he umm he took his own life” “oh my god I am so so sorry about what happened to your dad” He came and sat next to me, wiped the tear away and gave me a huge hug. “Thank you” I said, then he let go of me. He put his fingers up under my chin to lift my face and looked me in the eye and asked me “are you ok now” “ye I think so” I smiled. “Good”. He grabbed my hand and said “come on lets go” “ok”. When we got out of the ice-cream shop it was already dark. “Right then I better get you home” “ok”. On the drive home we listened to music, we were listening to AC/DC and we were singing along. Then we finally arrived at my house. I looked over at Mr Downey and he was looking at me. I smiled at him and said “Mr Downey” he cut me off “please outside of school call me Robert” He smiled at me. “ok, Robert I had a lovely time” “me too maybe we could do this again sometime” “I would love that, well Good Night Robert, I really enjoyed myself today and thank you for making me feel better” “that’s ok I am glad you enjoyed it Good Night Marianne” Then he leaned over and gave me a kiss on the check. I blushed as I got out of his car and made my way in to my house. As I opened the door he drove off. I walked up to my room, put on my pj’s and got in to my bed. I kept on thinking about when Robert had kissed my check. I slowly moved my hand to where his warm lips had previously been and smiled to myself and fell in to a deep sleep.
