Passive Me, Aggressive You (Robert Downey Jr.)

Denial

It has been a week since I went to Roberts and Susan took Exton. And I still couldn't get him off my brain. Working on him, watching him change into his Iron Man suit. I would always watch him intensely. Tommy noticed one day on set. Him and I watching him and Gwyneth perform. He leaned in and whispered, 

"You like him." I refused to believe him even though I knew I did. For what reason I wasn't sure. Maybe because he can understand me? Or maybe because he toys with me and plays mr. sarcastic with me. Maybe it was because he was a beautiful man. A silver fox in his prime. Or maybe its even because of his past. I know what it's like to live through hard ships. I felt like we could connect and understand each other. But, I refused to let Tommy know this. 

"No." I say sternly. 

"Oh c'mon Andie. I notice how you look at him." Tommy chuckles. 

I stand up and lean into Tommy. 

"No, Tommy. I don't look at him any different than I look at you." I whisper.

"And you're getting mighty offensive." 

"Am not."

"And you'll do pretty much anything he asks." 

"I do not!" I hear Gwyneth clear her throat. Our voices must've risen. My face clenched up. 

We sat down quietly through the rest of filming. Robert screwed up a couple lines and would always laugh hysterically. His laugh was even golden. I face palmed myself. Today was the day. The day I found out if he liked me like that. Even though he denied it. Oh god he doesn't. What am I thinking? 

"Hey." He said, pulling up next to me as they finished filming for today. I screamed slightly, he scared me. 

"H...hey!" I say turning to him. 

"I was thinking, you scared me. Felt like you could hear my thoughts or something." I say to him, pinching the bridge of my nose. 

"So you were thinking about me?" He asked with a smirk.

"It's okay Andie, a lot of women do. I mean, I'm Robert Downey Jr." He said smugly with his hand pressed to his chest as if he were royalty. 

"No, Robert, I wasn't thinking about.. you." I say you with a glare. 

"Uh-huh." he replies, his tongue sucking on his pearly whites. 

"Rob."

"Andie."

"Robert."

"Andie."

"ROBERT!"

"Andie." I sit up but he tugs me back down to my chair. 

"Come out with me and Tommy tonight." He says.

Tommy. Tommy and him were going out tonight? Tommy wouldnt let me live ANYTHING down if I went. 

"I don't know.." I say faintly.

"C'mon, 3 friends, going out, getting a little drunk. I need my friends right now. Please?" He asked again. 

"Fine, only because I feel bad that you got DUMPED." I say sternly, standing up once more. He put his hand over his heart and said,

"Ow." But soon after he smirked and headed off to his trailer. Going out tonight with him and Tommy. I dig thrugh my clothes as soon as I get to my trailer. What do I wear? I want to show off for Robert but... What am I saying to myself? Andie, stop. Right now. That's gross. You guys are friends. Don't be that girl. You're going to get oh so seriously friend zoned. I decide my brain was right, even though my blood pulsed for Robert. It was impossible. I decide on something simple. Leggings, a v-neck Radiohead shirt, a leather jacket and some converse. I set it aside and listen to my music while I wait for the time to pass.

ROBERTS POV:

Tommy greets me at my door. Why was he here so early. I answer,

"Whats up?" 

"I think Andie likes you." He said, panting, as if he ran to tell me. My heart sank. Andie? She was my type but she was young, and I wasn't interested in her like that. 

"No, she doesn't." I say, turning away from him, going back to the table to finish my take-out. 

"Rob. Really?" He asks. 

"Tommy, I don't want to think about that. She's a friend. I'm sure she knows better." I say with my mouth full.

"Whatever you say. Mind if I..." He asks, pointing to my banquet of chinese takeout. 

"Go for it." I say, continuing to eat. He kept talking to me about Andie but I didn't want to hear it. My mind says no, so I say no.

"It's been like this since she went to your house." After he said this my face flushed. Remembering pressing her up against the counter made my pulse race. Her body felt so good against mine. Tommy notice the redness in my cheeks. 

"What did you do?" He asked, is eyes drooping. 

"I might have flirted a little too much. I can't help it, it's in my nature." I said, mentally smacking myself. 

"Well, I've never seen Andie so hung up. Especially from a little flirting." Tommy responded. To be honest, I haven't either, but god, that day I would've kissed her. 

"Do you like..." Tommy started.

"No." I stood up , got dressed and stared at him.

"Let's go. We've got to meet Andie." I say as he grabs his coat.

"Right." With that we headed off to Andies trailer. For some strange reason I was nervous now. Knowing she liked me. 

ANDIES POV:

I heard a knock on my trailer door. It must be Robert and Tommy. 

"Hold on!" I rush to put on my clothes and I put my hair back in a loose ponytail. 

"Hey guys!" I saw, whipping the door open. They both looked sick to their stomachs. I was so confused. 

"You guys are sure you want to go out?" I whisper, my nose scrunched as I was smiling at them. 

"Yes! Yeah! Robert needs to meet some women." Tommy says nudging him and Robert smirks and shrugs. 

"I suppose I should try.." He said faintly. Something was up with him but I couln't quite figure him out. 

"Well, let's take my car. We can go to Boulevard3. We'll get super nice treatment and almost all of our drinks for free. And if I get too drunk, Jade will always bring me back my car." I say, grabbing my keys and a bread roll. I stuff it in my mouth and Robert calls shot gun. Tommy clears his throat as he does this and I notice Robert furrow his eyesbrows. Hm.
