The entire drive to the play was silent. Were we really going out into a public place? Me? With Robert Downey Jr? 

"Won't somebody recognize you?"

"Thats what sunglasses are for." He says with a small chuckle. I smile back at him, but I couldn't get myself to forgive him. At all.

We arrived at the middle school, Robert immediately grabbed my hand and looked at me, knowing exactly what was going through my head.

"I want you home for you, not for me. I don't want to be the reason you stop doing what you love. I promise when you get home I won't approach you, talk to you even. But I can't have that on my conscience. I see tonight as our last night to do something together. And to make up for being a complete asshole." He got out of the car and I followed. That apology was surprisingly better.

ROBERTS POV:

I didn't mean it, I missed her. Oddly enough. I missed her through all of this stupid shit that probably should have made me quit women all together. 

"Wanna race?" She asked with a smirk. I smiled at her and whispered,

"I thought you'd never ask." We raced to the front, She once again escaped fast passed me. She opened the door for me, giggling as I placed a baseball cap over my head in hopes I wouldnt be recognized. I noticed Andie step in front of me, trying to hide me as well. I liked how helpful she was. I lead her from behind, holding onto her hips and ducking through parents, whispering about how strange we looked. Oh yes, I heard them. Andie approached a couple of seats, sitting down right in the middle and very close to the stage. Her eyes were bright, collapsing her hands together and staring intently into the curtain, awaiting for all of the kids to approach under spotlights.

"You excited?" I asked her. She nodded viciously. 

"I used to do these as a kid. Even throughout high school." The chipperness in her voice was adorable and as I watched her watch the play, I realized something. Her face glowing from the spotlight, her eyes gleaming as she watched in amazement. The way she was completely enthralled with something so small and beautiful truly spoke to me. I truly really liked this girl, no matter how much I denied it, no matter how much I wanted her to live without me, I deep down wanted to be with her.

I reach over, cupping her face gently and kissed her, she kissed back and I could feel the smile stretching on her face. She pulled away carefully and looked into my eyes.

"I'll come home." she whispered, not wanting to interrupt.

"And you don't have to ignore me." My smile suddenly grew as large as hers. She then turned back to the play, placing her fingers over her lips as if to shush me. What an adorable little brat.

As soon as the play ended we walked out, only to be mobbed by another swarm of people, but they weren't here for the play, they were here for me. I was leaked.

"Rober,t why are you in Minnesota?"

"Robert, have you stopped filming Iron Man 3?"

"Robert, whats that womans name?"

"Robert,  what's the situation regarding you and Susan?"

And then, the kids, the parents..

"Oh my god, it's Robert Downey Jr!"

"Can we have your autograph?!"

"He was sitting next to us the whole time!"

I look over at Andie, she looked sick, she looked sad, she felt, embarrassed. Embarrassed? To be seen with me? She rushed out, her hands in her face, only a couple reporters following her. 

"Andie!" I shouted, trying to get to her, but I was completely swarmed, underneath the arms of people I didn't know. 

"STOP!" I shout. Everyone suddenly silents themselves and lets me speak. Surprising, no one was ever generous enough. I guess it's true what they say about "Minnesota Nice". 

"I've got to go, no further questions." I say as I try and smuggle my way out of all of these people, finally reaching my car which Andie had been hiding behind. I smiled down at her and she looked up at me, like a scared puppy. 

"I'm not used to that..." She whispers as if they were going to come back for her.

"Well get used to it." Did I just say that?

"What?" She asked

"I don't-"

"No, I won't, you'll protect me from them." Her voice was light when she said this, full of humor.

"Get in the car, Andie." I say, laughing at her. She pulls in quickly as I peel out of the parking lot, rushing back to her house. When we show up, everyone is asleep, all the lights are out and her friend Meryl was passed out on the couch. Andie pushes herself into my chest and whispers, 

"Quiet, you can sleep in my room." She leads me upstairs, us tip-toe-ing through her silent house. As soon as we reached her door I got nervous. 

"Andie, I can sleep downstairs, or in like the guest room, under your bed..." She put a finger to my lips and chuckled.

"You can sleep on the floor with me, my bed here is a little small, so we'll make one on the ground."

She opened her door to the most typical teenage girls room, I laughed as she smacked my chest lightly and shut her door behind me,

"This is it, my humble aboad." she said, her voice finally out of a whisper. 

I pull her to me, cupping my hands around her waist and I can see the nervousness in her face, its gushing red. I lean down to kiss her, my lips pressing firmly against hers. She pulls her hands around my neck, gripping at its skin before pressing herself hard into me. Her breathe loud as our faces slam together passionately. My tongue enters her soft, warm mouth. I couldn't help but moan at how good her tongue felt rubbing gently against mine. I push her backwards, laying her onto her bed as I hovered above her, pulling her into me by the small of her back. She moaned loudly and I pressed my lips harder to hers, hoping to muffle her out. She took my hat and threw it across the room, then the same happened to my sunglasses.

She then ran her hands through my hair, petting me as  placed small bites along her neck.

"Rob." She moaned, loving the feeling of my body against hers. I felt her goosebumps tingle between my teeth. I slowly ran my finger tips along her arms, feeling them more and more. I loved how she squirmed beneath me. I feel her take her palm and slide it slowly in between my legs touching the most vulnerable and tender spot of my body. I watched as she grinned, feeling how hard it was. I had to stop before this went any further. 

"Andie.."

"I know Rob, it has to be perfect.." I smiled, pulling her up off of the bed and kissing her hard one last time before pulling off her blankets and throwing them to the floor.

"Lot's of girly stuff on the walls. Johnny Depp?" I ask her. 

"He's a heart stopper, you know." She replied with a smirk.

"I like this."

"Like what?"

"Being here. With you. You actually smiling at me instead of hitting me." She then smacks my chest hard and throws herself on top of me. 

"Let's go to bed, Rob" She says before falling to my side, laughing uncontrollably. You could tell without a doubt that she was so tired she had gone a little insane.

"Goodnight, Andie."

"Rob?"

"Yeah?"

"Will you be here in the morning?"

"Well you're not naked this time so, yeah."

I felt another hard smack to my chest before hearing her chuckling.

"Yes Andie, I'll be here. I'm not going to do that again."

I felt her press into me once more and we fell back asleep, in that same position, on her floor, it wasn't the most romantic, and the floor was slightly uncomfortable, but I slept easy.
