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

CHAPTER 15 : SEPARATION ANXIETY

Sunday morning.

I woke up smelling the delicious smell of coffee. I got up slowly, not finding Robert beside me. I know he wakes up early in the morning. Time check: 7am. I quickly got into the bathroom to brush my teeth & wash my face. I then got dressed and went downstairs, only to be greeted by Robert.

"Good morning, sweetheart! Come on! Let's eat breakfast!"

I did not respond but just walk pass him and got into the kitchen counter. I was shocked to see the food is all ready, including my coffee. Suddenly, I felt his arms around my waist, hugging me from behind. His lips and nose nuzzling into my neck. It sent me shivers to my body but I need to control it!

"Hey..so grumpy today? Come on let's eat and I will drive you home." – Robert saying while he is still hugging me. I suddenly felt somewhat sad when I came to realize that it's my last day being with him and everything will be back to normal when Monday comes. What am I feeling? Am I falling for him? This can't be! I mean, I really like him but his status is the one that keeps me distant to him. I cannot love a married man.

I turn around and looked at him in the eyes. We stared at each other's eyes for a few moments. His hands not leaving my waist. I can feel the fire burning in his eyes. His face moved closer to mine until our lips almost touch.

"I am hungry. I wanna eat now." – me to him. I need to do this to break the moment. But he never let me go.

"Oh, hungry now? As in now? I just need a kiss, baby." – He continue to smooch but I dodged and his lips landed on my cheeks instead. I can see his cute frustrated reaction.

"Yes, coffee. NOW!" - I just rolled my eyes at him and wiggled my way out of his embrace.

He followed me on the kitchen counter and poured me a cup of coffee. He prepared bacon and eggs. He also made some waffles and pancakes. We ate in silence but I caught him staring at me. I stopped eating and looked him in the eye.

"What?" - I asked him. It was kinda weird and awkward.

"I am just kinda sad to bring you home. I wanna spend more time with you. Can I just drive you home later tonight? I also wanted to go to the mall and buy some stuff. Please?" – Robert asking like a 5 year old kid.

I just nodded and continued eating. I will not do anything at home anyway so why not spend it outside. I bet Tina and Carl will be home later tonight so I don't have anyone with me at the apartment anyways.

Robert's smile is from ear to ear. I don't know what he is planning but I am all for it. Just 1 more day with him.

1pm.

We drove to a mall in the farther part of Malibu. It was just a small one, not crowded but all the stuff that you need is there. We went inside and had Robert get what needed. I shopped for my personal things as well including toiletries and some groceries for our apartment. Once we are done at around 3 pm. Robert decided to drive me home. Along the way back to the apartment in Sta. Monica, Robert called Tina again. And I was correct, they won't be home until 8pm tonight. He asked Tina if he can stay in the apartment while we are waiting for them. I guess he got an approval because he was so happy after talking to her on the phone.

After about an hour, we arrived at the apartment. I took all of the stuff from the backseat but Robert insisted to carry it for me. When we entered, we settled all my stuff at the kitchen counter and I asked him to stay in the living room. I handed him the remote so he can watch TV. I asked him that I will just take a shower and will be back shortly.
