Fix My Heart ( A Robert Downey Jr. Fanfic )

Chapter Twenty four - Crave

The car drove down the empty lanes under the deep midnight blue sky. Within a couple of minutes into the ride, the windows got down allowing the cool night wind to touch our skins along with the muffled music from the radio. No words were spoken after the tease and only smiles settled on our faces.

He hooked our hands together, squeezing and rubbing with his thumb. Crazy how a simple human emotion can flip your life upside down. Desire took over me, musing on the wicked thoughts. My insides craved for his touch, his skin, him. I had been longing for a connection, for a touch for a long time.
The night was quite and long after all and my unknown fear dashed off. The fear of being not good enough and full of flaws in his eyes. I knew it was all just delusions my brain made and it was all erroneous ideas I created out of the blue. I knew it was stupid to make a false concept force it self into my system and ruin the good times. Any kind of nervousness would make the whole thing suck since I've decided that this night is the night. The night where i'm gonna break free from this dreams and creat a beautiful real one.

Street lights became less brighter as we got closer to home. The car started to slow down and my stomach twisted once more, with excitement this time and not anxiousness. Our house came to sight and the car pulled into the driveway. I got out of the car first and rushed to the bedroom. Robert understood what I did so he raced behind me quietly, trying to keep the atmosphere as soft as possible but it was already filled with erotic feelings.

I stood alone in the golden dim bedroom that vibed the air with warmth. Only split seconds had passed and his body emerged and walked towards me. I inhaled in the divine scented body. Only inches apart, my eyes burnt with want as I gazed up at his blazing chocolate orbs. The ones that make me leave the real world and travel far in the galaxies. There was no need to say anything, everything was translated and well explained we just had to unleash what lived inside for too long.

Time stopped and it felt like we were the only one in the world. No one could've stopped us from expressing our love. Our torrid act of adoration and our raw emotions went on all through the night.

The next morning was just as perfect as the night. I woke up to his dreamy voice with his warm chest pressed up against mine, hugging me tight. Our night took a wild path when it reached it's end, making it a night to remember, we crashed at the end falling asleep on top of each other. After stealing few little kisses from each other and taking the usual morning shower, I managed to make him coffee and we went to sit in the living room. I threw my phone on the coffee table and instead of snuggling next to him, I laid my head on his lap and admired the amazing view.

"I have to take the documents to Ace." Robert sipped on his hot coffee and then placed it carefully on the end table next to him, "I don't feel like going anywhere today, I just wanna stay here with you." He whined, playing with my hair. I smiled up at him, "It won't take long honey don't worry. All of this bulls*it will be over soon." He smiled in response and reached for his mug again, carful not to spill it all over my face. "You know it'd be great if we had Hank Palmer in real life. He'd be the perfect man for this case." I said, the thought suddenly came to my mind. He chuckled, "Larry Paul would be good too. God, just think of the possibilities."

"I just noticed that they both sorta can relate to your issue!" I replied and my phone vibrated with a text notification, I ignored it went on, "But if we had to pick one, I'd choose Hank, I have a soft spot for him." I said playfully and he beamed down at me and pinched my nose, "No you don't you're choosing him just because he's hotter." He winked and then his attention moved to the phone that shook with another notification. "You should probably see who's texting you." I raised my brows, man he know me so well, "Well yeah okay maybe. But come on, you're always hot." I laughed and sat up, "It might be dad." I grabbed the phone lazily and sat down normally this time. I looked at the screen and it had an unknown number. I frowned, it can't be a fan or anything like that, I've changed my number since the day I broke up with Ace. I opened the messages app.

-Morning sweet pea xo

- It was really nice
seeing you again last
night ;)

I looked at the texts and my stomach lurched, it was Ace. To me, the loathing feelings almost washed away since last night when I met him again, he's in charge of Robert's case now and he gladly accepted to help him. I can never forgive him though and I can never be friends with him, I gave Robert my promise that I'd never have any sort of connection with him and that made me feel anxious reading his texts.

Robert thankfully wasn't looking at the screen, it was facing me only.

Where did you get
my number from?

I sent the message and looked at Robert who was staring at me, "Who is it?" He asked casually but I knew he saw nervousness on my face, "hmm?" I swallowed, maintaining an easy expression. "Why you're nervous? Stop acting nervous!" I mentally facepalmed myself.

Robert's eye brow rose, "Is it your dad?."

I paused for a second and then said, "No it's um, Martin." I lied and it hurt me so much that I lied. I didn't want to hide anything away from him, I didn't want to be the one with secrets but I knew that he'd lose it if I told him it was Ace. I knew that he'd be mad and he would refuse Ace's help and I didn't want that to happen.

He nodded slowly, not sure if he believed the lie, "What does he want?" He took another sip of his coffee and opened his phone, he believed. My heart ached, I thought of something to continue my lie. My phone buzzed again.

- You called us yesterday,
didn't you? :p

"Damn." I thought, "Babe?" Robert said waiting for me to continue, not taking his eyes off the screen, "He umm," I stuttered, "He wants to know if you're going to um take your money. You know .. the bet." My mouth went dry and he looked at me with confusion, "I called him yesterday and told him that I'm not going to take anything."

"He maybe forgot, I'll tell him again." I put on a soft smile and remained silent. Robert nodded, "Mike is going to take it tho." He added, smirking. I kept the warm smile and texted Ace back.

Yes I did.

I could've told him to not text me ever again, I could've blocked his number. But for some reason, I did not.

Okay you guys
I was so nervous about writing a hot scene I'm not used to writing that kind of stuff so I made it really brief 😬
