__________ ••• I woke up to the sound of water running. Someone was taking a shower quite close to me, judging by the fact that I could feel the steam coming out of wherever the restroom was.
Leaning up from the bed I was in, I rubbed my eyes and uncovered myself just as the water stopped. Apparently, someone had changed me into a pajama shirt and no pants.
The person stepped out, a towel wrapped loosely around their waist. I squinted, making out the figure of a man.
"Um.. Hello?" I blinked a few times before standing up.
Not receiving an answer, I walked slowly towards the male. My eyes widened in fear when I could tell who it was.
"R-Robin," I muttered, stepping backwards to get away. Just as my left foot hit the ground behind me, the floor broke and next thing I knew, I was falling.
Shimmering office windows blinded me as a skydived down the side of a skyscraper, but without a parachute. Police sirens were wailing below me, causing my ears to ring.
Am I gonna hit the ground?
Just as that thought came to mind, my body jolted forward, my forehead hitting something hard. My breathing was heavy and my heartbeat was rapid.
I put my hand on my head and looked to my left to see Robert rubbing his jaw.
"Holy shit, Rob, I am so sorry. Are you alright?" My hands instinctively cupped his cheeks, turning his head from side to side.
He chuckled as he wrapped his fingers around my wrists, gently pulling my hands away from his face.
"I'm fine, (Y/n), you barely hit me. Are you okay?"
I nodded slowly, not being able to move at the moment. It felt like whenever I looked into his eyes, he had full control if me. I was lost in them, not even attempting to find my way out.
Robert smiled softly, which only made me melt into him more.
"Rob?"
He hummed softly before whispering a raspy, "Yes, love?"
"Nothing, I just wanted to hear your voice."
Robert smiled, letting out another breathy chuckle through his nose. "You are too pure," He mumbled.
Robert's phone went off, beeping to the tone of 'I'd Rather See Your Star Explode' by Slaves.
"What's that for?" I asked, just as Rob stood up with me in his arms. My chest tightened, causing my breath to hitch. I had always been insecure about my weight, so this wasn't my ideal situation.
"It's time for your surprise, love." Robert looked down at me with a smirk.
"Rob, put me down!" I tried to make it sound like I was messing around so he wouldn't get curious.
He bit his lip before clicking his tongue, "I don't think I will."
I crossed my arms. "Put me down," I muttered, sticking my lip out and pouting like a child.
"Aww, now don't give me that look."
I made puppy dog eyes.
He groaned, rolling his eyes and beginning to walk towards the exit. "Come on."
Grabbing the collar of his shirt, I pulled his face close to mine.
Robert furrowed his eyebrows. "You really want down that bad?"
I nodded slowly, letting go of him.
Robert's arms gently let me down, which was relieving but I didn't like not having his body against me.
I brushed off my shirt. "Thank you," I mumbled before looking up at him. "Do you think I have time to change before whatever this," I waved my hands, "Surprise is?"
Robert bit the inside of his cheek. "If you make it quick, I'm sure you can."

Robert sat outside in his car as I ran inside, attempting to find one of my nicer outfits.

I ended up going with a slim fit black dress with white stripes on either side. It reached about mid-thigh length at most. I added a jean jacket to wrap around my waist and some white, high-top Converse.
As I turned the corner and ran out, I grabbed my purse. The passenger door was already open, so I hopped in before shutting it.
Rob chuckled, "I didn't mean you had to rush."
I was slightly out of breath. "Th-thanks for the heads u-up," I looked over at him. _____ ••• Sorry for such a short chapter! Word Count: 722
