The Fangirl Swirl

18 : The things you do to me.

We hopped out of his car. I was being wrecked with nervousness but Robert kept his cool and held my hand on our way to the door. I knocked the door with my shaking hands hoping that my mother would open the door instead of my father. But ofcourse, it had to be him. I quickly jerked Robert's hand away from mine and tried to pull a smiling face. Dad saw me and pulled me in a big tight hug. I'm not gonna lie, I missed him terribly when he was away and the hug felt so good, so fatherly.

"I missed you sweetheart" Dad whispered still wrapping his arms around me. I didn't realise the tears escaping from my eyes. He pulled away from the hug, his hands still on my shoulders "Congratulations on graduating, Doll. I'm so proud of you." He said smiling. My heart warmed even more when he called me 'Doll', the name only he calls me with. I whispered a 'thankyou' to him.

He looked behind to see Robert standing silently watching us both having our 'father-daughter moment'. As soon as Robert saw Dad noticing him, he stepped forward to introduce himself by offering his hand in the most 'gentleman way'.

"Good evening Mr. Dawson, I am Robert Downey Jr. Its a pleasure to meet you." Robert said in a formal way with a small smile on his face.

Gosh, is there anything this man can do which doesn't make me want him more? I don't think so. Uhhmm...focus Stacy!!!

I looked at my Dad who had no expressions whatsoever on his face. He just kept staring at him trying to figure out something from his face. He didn't even shake hands with him. Robert awkwardly stood there while Dad still looked at him thinking.

"Do I know you from somewhere Robert?" Dad asked him.

Oh my god Dad, that's not what you ask to a world famous celebrity. But Dad doesn't really watch movies and stuff so I wouldn't actually blame him. But this was so embarrassing for me and Robert both.

"Uhhh Dad, he's Ironman..... And many other movie characters...I mean he's an actor. A famous actor. I mean, he's a celebrity...." I said stuttering. Can I be more stupid?? I've crossed the highest level of stupidity.

"Oh" that was his only reaction to my stupid ass explaination. Thank God, Dad finally shook Robert's hand with a smile. "Why don't you come in Robert?" He asked him.

"I'd love to, Mr. Dawson." Robert said.

"Please call me Jack." Dad said and we entered the house. Well honestly, I expected a ton of questions from Dad but instead he just seemed to be fine. But that doesn't mean we were spared from the questions and drama.

We all went to the living room where Dad and Robert sat across each other while me and Maa sat in the big couch. My hands were still trembling and I was still sweating.

"So Robert, how do you know Stacy?" Dad asked him in confusion. Here comes the questions...

"Actually Stacy won a lucky draw contest for the biggest fan where she got a chance to have dinner with me and we became.... good friends!" Robert said pausing before the word 'friends'.

Thank God he said Friends or else we would both be kicked out of the galaxy by now. But he said it way too confidently as he knew how to handle situations like this.

Dad looked at me and then Robert again and again before saying "oh that's great." which meant he bought the story Robert made. Well, it was partially true except for the part that I won a lucky draw (which apparantly I thought I did but it was fake) and that we were Friends (oh well).

After that, Robert and Dad got into conversation about their work and the business stuff and the sports which I wasn't really interested in. But one thing was sure, my Dad was really impressed with Robert because of the same interests they shared and that was a big relief for me.

We had dinner and it was time for Robert to leave. I went with him outside the house. He leaned in to kiss my lips but I backed away giggling.

"Remember we are 'friends'." I chuckled. He gave me a confused look at first but then suddenly pushed me against the wall and pressed himself against me.

"Are we?" He said smirking looking at my eyes and lips back and forth.

"Yes we are, Mr. Downey" I whispered in his ear in my so called sexy voice which wasn't exactly it.

"Then maybe we can be Friends with benefits for now Miss Dawson." He said leaning again to kiss. As much as I wanted to take his lips into mine, I pushed him lightly and gave him a quick peck on his cheeks instead.

"Maybe later, Mr. Downey." I said and ran inside blushing like a little girl. I don't know if my Dad would be able to handle the truth about me and Robert being together but there was no going back now. I don't think I'd be able to resist him now.

The things this man does to me....
