I´m not sure how I feel about this chapter and would love to know if you liked it or not.
And thank you to everyone that have reviewed this story so far. It really means a lot. :)
She opened her eyes to find herself in an unfamiliar room. It took some time for her to remember what happened the other day, but when she did, it made her smile. It was definitely the best day she´d had in quite a long time. She turned to Barney´s empty bed. She had expected him to be there, but because he wasn´t there and the mattress she lay on started to feel uncomfortable she decided to try it out.
She covered herself with his duvet and couldn´t help but smile when she smelled his perfume that haunted the pillow. She was almost in dream land when she heard the door.
"Hey!"
She turned lazily around to see him. She sighed, "What time is it?"
"8:30am."
Omg, usually she would´ve been awake 2 hours ago, but she didn´t want to leave his comfortable bed. She hadn´t slept on a bed like this in a long time.
"You like my bed?" He asked and smiled at her.
She was 100% sure she was blushing, but she tried her best to hide it with the pillow, but that made it only worse because of the unbelievable good smell.
"Yeah, it´s so comfortable." She answered him.
"That´s good, but you know what? We should leave because my mom will soon come upstairs and we´d better get out of here before she comes."
She rolled out of the bed and fell on the floor on purpose.
"What am I gonna wear?"
Barney seemed to have planned this and reached her a pink hoodie and her own pants. "I hope you have underwear."
She smiled at him "Just let me put on these clothes and then we can go, okay?"
He nodded and left the room.
They had managed to sneak out the back door when Loretta was cleaning James´s room.
"So, what do we do now?" He asked her.
"Hmm...I want to dye my hair."
"What? Are you serious?"
She didn´t understand why he was so shocked. He´d only met her yesterday.
"Yeah, back to my real hair color. I used to have dark brown hair and I miss it, it´s more like me, I guess."
Barney looked straight into her eyes and she found herself lost there for a second before he started to talk.
"I understand, let´s dye your hair."
They went to the hairdresser and spent at least 4 hours in there. And Robin got so tired and felt sorry for Barney who had to sit there and wait.
"You know you really don´t have to wait for me. You could go and do something else."
"No, I want to stay here and see how you´ll look with brown hair."
"You´ll see it anyways. It´s not like I´m going to leave right after I dye my hair." She looked into his beautiful eyes and felt a weird feeling through her spine.
"Who knows, suddenly your parents comes running in and takes you with them to Canada and I´ll never see you again."
Robin smiled and even if they´d only known each other a day it felt like they had been friends for a really long time and the thought of never seeing him again broke her heart. She knew she was supposed to go back to Canada tomorrow, but she wanted to spend more time with Barney and she wanted to see more of New York.
"Well, I know my dad won´t come and my mom might be happy I´m not in her way when we´re here, but my manager Mike. He´s probably more concerned for me than my parents."
Barney looked at her and decided it was best to change the topic. "The color looks really good so far."
She´d almost forgot she was dying her hair, but when she turned to the mirror she actually agreed with him. It looked really good and she was almost done.
"It fits you so well." He told her when they´d finally managed to get out of there. They were walking through Wall Street trying to decide what to do. "So, have you ever been to The World Trade Center?" She asked him with a slight of hope that he would take her there.
"No, actually I have never been there." He said and turned to her. "Are you suggesting we should go there?"
"If you´re fine with it."
The wind blew through her dark brown hair in the most beautiful way possible. Barney couldn´t help but smile when she turned around with her hair in front of her face. "Why is my hair so annoying every time I´m trying to see as much as possible."
Barney walked over to her and looked down at the huge city. "Turn around and look at the city." He told her with a soft voice." She did as he told her to, but her hair was still blocking her eyes from seeing properly. She almost considered to cut it off with a scissor.
Suddenly she felt his hands stroking her hair back so that she could see. And it was beautiful and crazy how tall this building was.
"I need a picture." She said and reached for her camera. It took 15 minutes before they managed to take a picture she was 99 percent happy with.
"Can we go now? It´s freezing cold up here." Barney asked her.
"Sure, but do we have time to see The Empire State Building too?"
Barney could see in her eyes that she really wanted to go there, but to be honest he thought this building was more than tall enough and it was getting late.
"I´d love to take you there, but it´s getting pretty late."
"Agh, okay. Let´s go somewhere else."
"Our plane leaves tomorrow morning, you have to come with me now." The man who had stormed into MacDonald´s shouted when he´d seen her.
The 2 fantastic days in New York was now officially over she thought when she saw Mike coming over to their table. She looked over to Barney who seemed to understand who the man was.
"So this is what you´ve been doing? Are you on a date?" Mike asked really annoyed.
"No, Mike. He´s just a friend." Robin answered.
"You never told me you had a friend in New York."
"I met him yesterday."
When she said that she started to memorize everything they had done in that little amount of time and everything was memories she´d never forget. She didn´t want to leave already. She´d only started to know him, but it felt like she´d known him forever.
"You met him yesterday? Okay, you have to come with me now." Mike sounded really angry.
"Can I just say goodbye to him first." Robin looked at Mike with her adorable eyes hoping that he would say yes.
"Okay, I´m waiting outside, but come out in 5 minutes."
They had officially known each other for 28 hours and it´d been the best 28 hours in her life. She didn´t know how to thank him for what he´d done for her. He probably didn´t even know how much it meant. She´d never felt so much as herself as she did when she was with him and she didn´t know if she ever would. It scared her that she felt so attached to him after just 28 hours, but he was special. She gazed into his adoring eyes and realized she didn´t really want to say good bye. She´d rather just stay here with him, but she knew she couldn´t.
"So, I guess this is good bye." Barney was the first one to break the silence.
"Yeah, I guess so," was all she managed to say.
"I´ve had a really nice time with you," he told her and smiled.
She knew it would be polite to smile back, but she didn´t manage to.
"I hope you find out what you want in life." He told her and gave her a hug. When she felt his arms around her all she wanted to do was to stay.
They´d probably hugged for over 2 minutes before they let go.
"I´ll never forget you," she said to him and gave him one last smile before she turned around and started walking towards the door.
He looked at her probably for the last time, "and I´ll never forget you, Scherbatsky." He whispered to himself.
