Long Lost Love (Robert Downey Jr. Fanfiction)

Like Destiny

This is my last day to France. I went to shower before I pack my things. The water was lukewarm so I stayed for a couple of minutes in it. I got out of the shower with only the towel covering my butt and my thing. I opened my traveling bag and dressed myself with a blue Lacoste shirt with a black shirt underneath, black pants and white sneakers.

My trip here to France was great. I experienced new things and met new people. I had fun of course. Even if i'm here by myself, people welcomed me and treated me the way I want to be treated. But deep inside, I know what's my favorite part of the trip. It's the night that I saw Hayley Knight. Damn. No wonder why men are always around her. She have the beauty, the brains and the talents. I'm pretty mad of myself because my legs turned stiff when I saw her. I should've approached her. She's an A-lister celebrity. There's a 75% chance that she knows me. But I don't want her to recognize me as the confused druggie actor. So maybe, just maybe. If i'll stop doing drugs maybe i'll be on her league. Way to go, Bobby. Way to fantasize like a little girl.

I stopped fantasizing so I can packed my things to my bag. I packed everything. Toothbrush, socks, boxers, shirts and everything. I carried my bag and took a second look at the room if I forgot something. I checked my pockets for my wallet, phone and plane ticket. Check. So I went to the lobby to return the key they gave me for the room and for some paying and checking. They told me to sit on the couch and wait for them. So I did. After 15 minutes they finally let me go. I heard the receptionist say "Bye Mr. Downey. Have a safe flight" before I leave. I shot her a wink. A cab was waiting for me outside the hotel. The driver took my bags and put them in the trunk. I sat in the back seat. He got in and said in a French accent "Where to?" "To the airport." He nodded and drove.

I got into the airport and fixed some shit. I have to stop every time someone recognizes me. I love attention so i'm happy to talk to them every time they stop me. And after an hour and a half. I finally got on the plane. I saw my seat. There was already a man sitting next to the window so I sat next to him. I texted Jimmy that I got on the plane. The man studied me. "You look familiar. It's like, i've seen you somewhere." "Of course you did." I replied. "Wait. Um, uh... Are you the one that played Larry Paul in Ally Mcbeal?" He said pointing his index finger at me. I chuckled. "Yep." I said cockily. He continued to ask questions as if he's an interviewer. Which are little bit intimidating like, questions involving jails, drugs and shit. And for some great reasons his phone rang. Which was awesome for me so I pretended to be asleep. Which I did. I fell asleep.

The plane landed and I texted Jimmy. "Where are you, man?" Before he can reply, I saw him wearing his usual attire. Hat, short sleeves and shorts. He carried my bags for me. I got into his car and he started the conversation "How was it?" he said as he started the engine. I put the seatbelt on before I answered "Pretty good. And guess who I saw back there?" He drove "Who?" He said. "Hayley Knight." I simply replied. "Hayley Knight? You mean, THE Hayley Knight? The smart-ass playgirl?" He said with an awe and confusion. "Yup." I popped the P. "She left showbiz for like what? 4 years?" "I can still recall that she left in 2004 to take care of some stuff." "Oh yeah. To take care of her company. Do you read comics? She's like the real life Tony Stark. The woman version of Tony Stark." Jimmy said. Oh now I remember. She's the CEO of her own company. The Knight Industries. That's her reason why she left show business. Before I can talk Jimmy spoke again "Wait a minute, you saw her? Not met?" I felt embarrassed. "Y-yeah. I got stiff right in the spot. I'm not that kind of guy that's ashamed to speak to a woman but damn. I froze." Jimmy chuckled silently. I lowered my head. And he continued to ask me about my trip.

FLASH BACK TO LATE 2007's

I fixed my life for the best. I avoided drugs. I auditioned for the role of Tony Stark in Iron Man. They told me that i'm not their best choice but eventually, they hired me. They made me work-out. They made me grow a beard so they can make me look like Tony Stark-ish. Every time there's a shooting, I did my best. They love my performance. I was doing great. I also got a call for the role of Kirk Lazarus in the movie Tropic Thunder. I heard that my co-stars were Ben Stiller and Jack Black. Awesome! The shooting for Iron Man is almost done. Just a few more days and we're done. The release date of the movie April 14, 2008.
