The Making Of A Legend (Leaked Sequel/RDJ FanFic)

Part 21

Two hours later I'm at Gwyneth's house. I needed to talk to someone and the best person I came up with was Gwyneth. We're on her couch and I explained everything to her.

"Do you believe him?" she asks me.

"I don't know. He's been hanging out with her a lot lately and he doesn't tell me what they were doing today. I knew she was trouble from the first moment I saw her" I'm tense but I've stopped crying.

"I don't know what to say but what I know is that he loves you. Maybe you should give him the time he says he needs before explaining"

"Or maybe he needs that time to find an excuse" I say and another text from him appears on my phone screen.

He hasn't stopped texting and calling me. He's asking where I am and if I'm okay. I'm not in the mood to talk to him at the moment so I ignore him once again.

"I know Robert very well and he's a lot of things but he's never been a liar. He clearly worries about you. Just tell him you're safe, he must be suffering" she actually makes me feel sorry for him.

I sigh understanding she's right and I just text him back that I'm okay.

"What should I do?" I ask desperately.

"I can't tell you that but I can offer you my home for as long as you need to clear your head"

"Thank you so much. I'm sorry again for upsetting you and James out of the blue"

"Dont worry about that"

"Thank you. Please don't tell him I'm here" I say knowing they've been great friends even before he met me.

"Trust me, I don't want to get caught into another relationship drama involving Robert" she chuckles.

I stayed there for a couple of hours more until I made a decision in my mind. I love him and he never gave me a reason to not trust him so I'll give him a while to explain everything. I take the car and drive back to the house. I take a deep breath before entering and when I get inside I see Robert in the living room. When he sees me he jumps from his seat and comes running to me.

"I'm so glad you're safe" he says and hugs me but I don't hug him back.

I can smell alcohol on his breath and Ι can see a bottle where he was sitting.

"Are you drunk?"

"No, I just had a drink, I promise"

"Good" I say relieved.

He hasn't gotten drunk in a while, he has that under control. I would hate it if he went back to his bad habit.

"Are we okay?" he asks like he's worried I'll say no.

"We're good for now but until you tell me what you were doing with her we won't be great" I say still being mad at him.

He can see it from my body language but he nods and caresses my hand softly.

"Jimmy and my stylist will be here any minute" I say breaking the silence.

"For what?"

"We have to get ready for the theatre"

"Are we still going to that? Don't you want to stay home and talk? " he asks confused.

"We have nothing to talk about until you explain the situation to me" I reply and he sighs.

"Okay, we'll do whatever you want"

A few moments later my stylist and Jimmy arrived. I had texted them both earlier. I started getting ready without exchanging another word with Robert. I'm guessing he's been getting ready and explaining everything to Jimmy. When I was finally ready I went to the living room where I found Robert with Jimmy. He was dressed in a suit matching with my dress. He looked amazing. His own stylist did a great job with his hair and beard. I was speechless.

"You look stunning" he says after taking a few seconds looking at me.

"Thank you. Are you ready to go?"

"Whenever you are" he says and I nod.

The car was waiting for us outside and he opened my door for me, letting me get in first. He then entered from his side and we both sat there in silence. The driver took us to the theatre and Robert also came to open my door for me. He took my hand and we walked through the cameras together. We smiled and posed for the photographers like everything was fine between us. We hugged and laughed for the cameras but once we were inside we didn't talk much. We greeted our friends and took our seats. We waited a few minutes for the show to begin and he came close to my ear just before it started.

"I love you" he whispered and the lights were turned off.

During the show he payed a lot attention to me. He was slightly touching me with his hands in the way he knows I like it but not too much to avoid making me feel uncomfortable. After it ended we followed the same routine as before and got into the limousine.

"Did you enjoy the show?" he asks me on our way home.

"Yes, it was wonderful. Thank you for booking the tickets" I reply looking outside the window and not at him.

"Anything for you" he says softly and I can feel him looking at me for the next few moments.

When we got home we both took off our clothes and I removed my make up as well. He waited for me in the bedroom until I was ready to lie down and came close to me.

"Should I go to the guests' room?" he asks and I see the disappointment in his eyes.

I'm not the only one in pain right now. I can see he's heartbroken too. Maybe I should forgive him right here and now. But there's a part of me that doubts him and I hate it. I hate not trusting him. But I can't trust him until he explains everything.

"No, stay here" I say and finally look into his eyes for the first time after our fight.

He nods at me and seems a lot happier. Following my lead we both lie down under the sheets. I turn on my side with my back on him.

"Goodnight, my love" he sweetly says and places a soft kiss on my shoulder.

"Goodnight" I reply and we both turn off the lights.

My thoughts though didn't let me sleep soon. I don't think he was in better shape. The idea that he might be lying to me went over and over my head. But I didn't want to believe that. I wanted to belive he's going to explain this mess soon. And these were the two sides of me fighting each other the whole time.
