The Internship (Robert Downey Jr. Fanfic)

Lexi's POV

My eyes open to the sun sneaking its way through the curtains. For a minute everything stands still as I remember the words Robert said to me last night. "I want you, all of you". It melted me to hear him say that.

He slept over after our chat and yes it may have led to sex, a lot of sex, but it was better than anytime before. If that's what makeup sex is, then I better think of a few things to argue about.

I should get up, but a part of me doesn't want to turn off my side because the spot behind me is radiating a chill onto my back.

I don't want to know he left after telling me he wants to take things further with us.

I squeeze my eyes shut taking a deep breath before turning onto my back and spinning my head to the other side of the bed. I finally open my eyes and nothing. He left. Again.

A part of me is sad and a part of me is angry with myself for thinking anything would be different.

Robert's POV

I wake up with my face nuzzled into Lexi's neck, her bare back pressed against my naked chest. My arm is draped across her waist to keep her close.

She's beautiful.

I look at her in awe, then gently kiss her temple.

"You deserve to be treated like a queen. So that's what I'll do." I whisper before kissing her head and sneaking away from her. I throw my boxers on and quietly leave her room going to the kitchen.

My eyes land on the flowers again.

I lied when I said they're nice, I can give her better. I want to know what schmuck gave her those and why, but first a little breakfast.

In no time I have some eggs going, a little sausage, and toast. Simple, but you gotta work with what you got, right? My head snaps up as the front door opens.

Natalie's POV

Finally, home! I love my job really I do, but the hours are INSANE. I step into my apartment and set my bag on the floor.

Mmm smell good, is Lex up already? On a Sunday? That's unusual of her. I turn around and see a man standing in our kitchen. I widen my eyes and blink a few times. Is that? Oh my fucking- I swear I'm going to murder that girl. She doesn't know what "don't let him in your pants" means.

You know what I'm going to give him a piece of my mind.

"You."

Robert stands there with a questioning look raising a brow.

"Me?"

"Yes, what do you think you're doing here?"

He opens his mouth to speaks, but I cut him off moving closer to the kitchen.

"You can't just come over here, get in her pants, and then tomorrow ignore her again. That's not okay! You're an asshole!"

"I know."

Wait, huh? Did he just- okay good! Yeah, Asshole.

"Why are you still here anyway shouldn't you have run off by now? I heard that's what you're good at."

I can tell he's getting uncomfortable by the way he's shifting in his spot. Good! He's was a jerk to my best friend, you don't get to pass from that so easy.

Robert clears his throat turning off the stove.

"I was making Lexi breakfast... want some? There's plenty."

Fuck. Okay that's sweet, but I'm still holding my ground and keeping an eye on him.

"No, thank you."

Lexi's POV

Just as I was about to drift back off into sleep I hear voices. Is Nat just getting home? Damn I could never do what she does. I roll out of bed throwing on a sweatshirt and yoga shorts.

Mmm and she's cooking after her shift? I might just marry her. I giggle at myself and walk out of my room.

"You better make me some of that sweet cheeks." I continue to giggle before raising my head. I widen my eyes noticing Robert standing in the kitchen with a grin forming on his face.

"You bet I am." Robert says making plates.

My head snaps to Natalie who doesn't look too thrilled to have found him almost completely naked in our kitchen. "Well enjoy you two. I'm going to shower and get some sleep." She starts walking to her room and looks at me before she disappears into in. Nat mouths "We're talking about this later." I nod my head and go to Robert in the kitchen still in shock.

"Good morning beautiful." His soft voice warms me up inside.

"Hey?" I say softly looking at him in disbelief still.

"Hope you're hungry." Robert kiss my head wrapping his arms around my waist. I feel his chest. Yep, he's real. "Everything okay?"

"I just thought maybe you had-"

He cuts me off "Left?" I nod my head at him and he pulls me closer. I nuzzle my head into his chest. We don't say anything, we just stand there wrapped in each other arms. It feels, amazing.

Robert kissing my head breaking our silence. "Why don't we eat before the food get cold?"

"Sounds good to me."
