I'm gonna get you (Robert Downey Jr. fanfic)

- "Baby, can you see through the tears?",-

"I want to marry your daughter",

Silence.

Pure silence.

I gulped, sitting down on the couch again to regain myself. My mom kneeled down, cleaning the mess she did as her cup dropped. Lucy sat at the end of the stairs, sobbing. I don't know whether she was crying about me scratching her face to the point where she looked like X-men or that Robert wanted to marry me.

I let that sentence circle in my head once again, looking at the floor.

Robert wants to marry me.

"Of course not now, not this year, not even next year. I got her something, I wanted to this in front of her family, I thought today would be a good evening and...I didn't know it would end like this..I, uh, zoey", I turned my head away, hiding my tears.

I didn't know why I was so emotional this month, maybe just my hormones acting crazy, but it was definitely annoying.

I felt the couch besides sink then a hand caressing my thigh. I recognized it as my moms hand, probably calming me down. She looked at me, a happy and confused expression written over her face.

"Zoey, look at me. We're not going to get married today, tomorrow, not next year. I want to, uh, I want to ask your parents if I could have their blessings....for the future", I looked at him, biting my lip as I saw his helpless look.

He was really weird sometimes, yes, he is a funny, crazy storyteller, he talks too much bullshit, he spends hours dancing in front of the mirror, fixing his hair like a little teenage boy, he could act like some kind of albert Einstein sometimes, but after all.. he was the one I started to love without realizing I did, I gave him all I could as a 18 year old girl....I love him, and I'm sure I want to spend my future with him.

"Zoey, say yes", my dad said, smiling as he gave Robert a thumbs up. My mom looked at me with furrowed eyebrows "Zoey, whatever you do..I'm your mom..I want you to be happy even if I don't act like it...me and dad love you",

She stood up, hugging Robert before going to my dad, putting her head on his shoulder.

I looked down, sighing mentally. I wiped the tears away, sniffing. "Yes",

Robert ran to me, hugging me, even lifting me a bit. He kissed my forehead as his hand went in his pocket.

Well, I thought he was going to pull out a ring but instead he pulled out car keys, waving them around in front of my face. "Let's go home, I'm sleepy", as he ran into the hallway, I furrowed my brows.

Was this some kind of weird joke?

Mom and dad were confused too, shrugging their shoulders. We followed him into the hallway, seeing him putting on his shoes and coat. "It was nice meeting you, Mrs and Mr. Greene. I know now where your daughter gets the looks and personality from", he smiled, holding out his hand to shake my dads hand. He kissed my mom on the cheek before opening the door and jumping out, almost falling. I put on my heels, still scolding myself that I had to wear them today.

"Zoey...we had 'the talk", she held two fingers up, moving them up and down "so stay safe. I don't want to be a grandma at 45",

I rolled my eyes at her sentence, going in for a hug with my dad.

"Listen to your mom. I know a man by his looks and something tells me that this evening someone will get lucky", I slapped my dad lightly on the shoulder before making my way out to the car, freezing my ass off.

I jumped in the passenger seat, still furrowing brows at how Robert acted. He was all hyper and nervous about something, which made me really curios. Was he hiding something?
