The Chronicles of Two Broken Wings { Robert Downey Jr.} [First Book]

Chapter 15

The next 3 days were pure Heaven. We took walks and had a lot of fun together, so much it was illegal. We even had a cook off last night, a cook off which ended up in a huge food fight. I'm pretty sure I ate salad off our couch and well the stake was somewhere between the sink and the cupboard. After a good laugh it hit me. Robert was about to leave tomorrow for 7 months. With all the moving and the fun we had I almost forgot.

I woke up the next morning, not wanting to wake up. Like a zombie I reached the bathroom and took a long warm shower. Robert was downstairs searching for last minute things to take with him on his trip.I was so excited about the new Avengers movie, but that meant no Robbie time for more than 6 months. I got dressed and went downstairs . As he saw me he took me in his arms kissing the tip of my nose.

"Morning sunshine!" out of nowhere I started singing...

"Ain't no sunshine when he's gone..." Robert just started looking at me funny.

"What? Can't a woman be depressed about her man leaving for 7 months? Like I said...or sang...Ain't no sunshine when he's gone....and don't give me that look...I know the original one is with <<when she's gone>> but you ain't no she...so there...Ain't no sunshine when he's gone...." I got cut off by a kiss. 

"You know you talk a lot when you get depressed? Most people don't talk at all, but then there's you. Do you have a off button or something? Should I be worried?" asked an amused Robert

"Not really. I just get talkative when I'm sad. Now I'll have to become insane too cause I'll be talking with a picture of you for the next 7 months. See?!? You'll get me inside a mental institution Robert. But  besides that I'll be fine. I'll be standing here when you come back...that's if Elsa won't actually send me off to a loony bin. I think white will be my colour...or non colour.." once again his lips were on mine.

"Okay miss. You shall not speak again about me leaving. I know it's hard for you. Damn it! It's hard for me too. I'll go insane without you. Maybe Chris and Elsa will talk to each other and they'll put us in the same institution. Who knows? Maybe we'll even share a bunk there. Other than that. I'll miss the hell out of you and your morning ramblings. I'll miss waking up next to you and I'll miss the way you look at me, like I'm the most precious thing there is..." he sighed deeply

"You are the most precious things..." I whispered to myself but Robert heard me and just enveloped me in a huge hug.

"You are the most precious thing for me too. I promise I'll be home before you know it love. Can you give me a ride to the airport for old times sake?" He was only half smiling. It was ripping him on the inside too.

"Sure thing baby. Let me get my coat and we'll get these in the car. Only one minute" I said as I ran upstairs to find his sweater to put on.

I came back  smiling, but he knew that deep inside of me something was bound to break.

The drive to the airport was rather silent with just music filling up the gaps. I just shrugged a few time out of nowhere just to get that feeling of emptiness out of my head. He was coming back. It's not like I was losing him for good.

We pulled up in front of the airport and he started getting his luggage out of the trunk. When he finished doing that he just hugged me for what seemed for ever.

As he was kissing me I noticed he was actually mumbling something in between.

"When. I'm. Coming. Back. I. Will. Make. you. mine. for. ever. and . ever" He didn't think that I was hearing all of that, but a wave of shock took over me. My shock made me kiss even more deeper.

"I love you Rob! See you face to face in 7 months. Until then we'll talk on Viber or something. Make sure you call me when you land . I want to know that Tin Man made it there in once piece. I'll miss you" I said while looking down at my Chucks.

"I'll miss you more than you know it Jo. Just make sure you'll take care of yourself while I'm gone. I want to find my woman healthy and ready to rock'n'roll and don't get submitted into the loony bin while I'm away. I'll hate to know I missed your most crazy times sugar. Love you so much." He kissed my nose and lips and then the top of my head and with that he was gone.

I got inside the car and just smashed my palm into the steering wheel. Damn it Jo get a grip of your emotions.

I went home and collapsed on the couch in the living room. On the coffee table I noticed something like a note.

It red :

" To my dearest Jo,

I'm about to have an emotional break down. I don't know if I will be able to stay all those 7 months without you. Even if we'll talk every day I will still feel like a part of me is missing. When I first met you I thought that loving someone so much wasn't even one of the options in my life. I've been through a lot until my 40's and to be honest I never thought you'll stick around, let alone move to another continent just to be with me. I admire the courage you had while doing that. The 25 year gap scared me a little in the beginning but as I saw how mature you are about the important things in life I figured out that age is just a number. Now I know you are actually crying while reading this note and I sorry for having that effect on you. I wanted my promise to be written because I know how much you have suffered in the past and if I do something dumb please punch some sense into me, because I won't ever forgive myself if it will come to losing you for good. I don't want that. I love you with all my heart! I promise you that I will be back by your birthday and maybe you'll be in for a surprise. Who knows. Chris told me that Elsa just adores you so don't be shy and give that Hemsworth a call when you feel alone. I know I left you in good hands. 

Take care my angel and don't you ever forget that I'll love you no matter where life might take us.

With much love,

Yours truly and for ever,

Robbie  "

He was right. I was crying like a little baby, but suddenly I stopped. I started smiling thinking about all the good times me and Robert shared in such little time. He was my soul mate, no doubt about that.

Later that night I received a message from Robert saying that he landed and everything is okay. He didn't want me to wake up so he sent a message instead. How thoughtful of him.

I just smiled and closed my eyes once more, drifting into dream land.
