The judge {Robert Downey Jr} UNDER EDITING

Nightmares

I heard pounding and yelling from
The other room.
I looked at the clock and it was 8:40.
I quickly got up groaning and walked to the door of the living room, finding a clean shaved and happy Robert.
"Top of the morning to you" he yelled in an Irish accent.
He then looked at my body.
I had short shorts and a tank-top, my boobs clearly outlined trough the fabric. I maybe was the only person sleeping like this in the winter.
He licked his lips
"Someone's not ready" he whispered, i had chills at his piercing eyes
I blushed and looked down
"I'm going to get ready" i whispered turning around and walking away.
I felt his hand grab mine and pull me back. He span me around and I ended up in his arms.
I felt his hot breath on my face, him looking down at me.
"You can even stay like this, Mrs Meester" he said in a low seductive voice. My hands were on his toned chest, I was gonna answer before I heard another voice.
"This is always nice to see when I get up"
I quickly got out of Robert's grasp and turned to see Adam standing in the kitchen.
He was wearing a white shirt and blue boxers, he had bed hair, which meant he had just woken up.
He looked mad, and Robert looked confused.
"Hey.. Robert this is Adam Brody, Adam this is Robert Downey Jr." I pointed to Adam.
"Nice to meet you" Robert said as Adam walked up to the counter and leaned on it.
"So" he said, gesturing towards me and Robert
"What's going on?" He said
"I'm picking her up. She left her car at work" Robert said
"Oh, Leigh I could of taken you" Adam said, irritated.
"T's okay, I've got her buddy" Robert said, now annoyed.
"I'm going to get changed. Adam, can i speak to you in my room?" I said, Adam got up and followed me in the room.
"What the fuck" he whispered
"Look, he's a good guy, get off his back"
I got my clothes and walked into the bathroom, the door open.
"Yeah such a good guy. Offering you weed and stuff, so precious" he said from the bedroom
I started putting make up on
"God, Adam. I'm a big girl, stop being so territorial,you're not my father."
he walked in the bathroom, now really mad.
"A big girl? Ok. Just don't expect me to come running to you when you're under a bridge too high to even notice the men surrounding you. Don't expect me to come help you when you don't have enough money to pay your drug dealer and he's so pissed he beats the fuck out of you.
You're a big girl now" he spat.
I felt a hole in my stomach. Those memories all flashing back to me.
"I can't believe you just said that." I said, tears in my eyes.
I pushed past him, and grabbed my keys.
"Leigh? I'm sorry, please, I didn't mean it"
"Fuck you Adam." I yelled and walked in the living room.
Robert was there confused
"Are you okay?" He said,
"Let's go"
We walked out of the house and into the car. I dried my tears as he turned on the motor and started driving.
"Leighton? Do you wanna talk about it?" He said turning to look at me, his eyes soft.
"I'm okay, thanks" I whispered, looking out the window
"It's probably my fault. I didn't wanna cause any trouble."
"It's okay, Robert. Adam can just be an asshole sometimes."
Robert parked in the parking lot of set.
"Listen Leighton. I gotta be honest with you. I like you. I mean, you're something special and you seem to lift me up when I'm down. I'd tell you I'll leave you alone like your friend wants, but I can't." he said, my heart warmed.
"I don't want you to leave me alone" I said. He nodded and took the keys out of the car
"Then that's final."

We arrived at set and from the distance I recognized Susan.
I saw from the corner of my eye Robert tensing up. I quickly grabbed his hand in mine and squeezed softly. He relaxed and we started walking.
"Robert, Leighton! You're here on time" David said, smiling. We laughed
"Don't get used to it" Robert said smiling.

The day went by fast as usual, we shot scenes and were finished by 8:30. I hadn't thought about it all day, but when I headed towards my car I knew I couldn't go back home and face Adam.
I saw Robert heading towards his car, dead tired. He had worked all day and had hardly any time left to breathe.
"Robert?" I said, he turned around.
"I can't go back home and face Adam" I whispered, but he seemed to hear me
"Come on"
he opened the passenger door of his car for me and then went on the other side to get in as well.
We drove for about 15 minutes until we reached his house.
"Thanks" I said, as we entered.
"It's okay, you've done it for me" he said softly.
I sat on the couch and sighed
"I'm a mess"
"You're not" he said, sitting next to me
"But I am. Everything that Adam said is true" I whispered putting my head in my hands
"What did he say, Leighton?" He asked, confused
"When we first moved to L.A, we had barely any money to live. His parents used to send us what we needed but he was the only one actually using it for a good cause." I said, taking a deep breath
"I started doing drugs and sooner or later i finished all my money. I had a lot of debts with my drug dealer because I couldn't pay and he got really mad when he discovered I couldn't pay him back. He sent some of his friends to my job and one thing led to another" I said, whispering the last part
"Did they rape you?" Robert said, his voice barely hearable.
I didn't answer and Stared at my hands
"Like i said,things happen for a reason." I looked over to Robert and he looked incredulous.
"Leighton" he started saying but I shook my head
"It's okay Robert. It really is. It happened a long time ago" I said, smiling softly at him.
He sighed and gently took my hand in his.
"I swear, that i won't let anything happen to you. I'm here now and it may seem weird coming from a person you basically just met, but I'm serious. Stay here as long as you need" he said, I kissed his cheek and hugged him.
I really felt safe in his arms, like I did with Adam when we were younger.
As I pulled back he looked me in the eyes. My face so close I could feel his breath on me. I stared into his eyes, blushing. He smiled and with his finger he lightly traced my lower lip.
"Leighton I really really wanna kiss you right now" he said, his eyes darker. I blushed and smiled
"Nothing is keeping you from doing it, Robert" I barely finished my sentence when his lips were on mine.
They were soft, his tongue tracing my lower lip. I opened my mouth more and he intertwined his tongue with mine, pushing me closer to him so our chests were touching.
His breath got heavier as i lightly bit his lower lip. It was getting more heated when he pulled away.
"I am really tired. Do you wanna change? I can give you some of my clothes" he said, I nodded and followed him upstairs.
He led me to his room and he looked in his closet.
"This good?" He said, raising a hoodie and some sweatpants.
I nodded and he gave them to me.
"I'll let you change" he said and closed the door.
I took off my sweater and my bra, putting on the warm hoodie.
It smelt like him and I smiled.
The sweatpants were enormous but they were warm as well.
I heard someone knock, I opened the door. He took a sight of me and then smiled "You look adorable" he said and walked in, getting a t-shirt and some sweats as well.
"You can sleep here, I'll sleep in the guest room" he said, taking off his hoodie and putting his t-shirt on.
"Okay"
"Goodnight Leighton" he kissed my cheek and walked to the other room, leaving me there with a big whole in my stomach and the desire to kiss him.

I was in that ally again running from the three shadows that we're getting closer. It was always the same dream, instead, this time when I ran into Adam, he looked different. His face looked darker.
"What's wrong, Leigh?" He said, I could hear the three men behind me
"We have to go, Adam! They're here." I said grabbing his hand trying to pull him forward. But he didn't move.
I was screaming at him when the three man arrived and one started pulling me towards the wall.
I screamed for Adam to help me, but he stayed in his place, just watching.

I woke up yelling. It was the first time in years I had that nightmare.
I heard footsteps and Robert came running in the room.
"Are you okay?" He said, worried.
I closed my eyes and sighed
"Yeah, it was just a bad dream" I said, he came closer to the bed and sat next to me.
"Wanna talk about it?"
I shook my head, he got up to leave but I grabbed his hand
"Robert?" I said, panicked about being alone again.
"Stay here with me?"
he nodded and got under the covers.
"It's okay Leighton, you're safe now" he whispered pulling me closer until my head was on his chest.
