Chapter 3
"I love you" He said to her.
Starfire blinked at him, refusing for the words to sink in. It was unbelievable. How could he say that, after all that she had discovered?
Is he playing on her? Is she a joke?
His actions were opposite to his words.
She stared at him even if she can't see his eyes.
She didn't say a word, didn't do anything. She was just there.
Robin moved his face to hers; their distance was really, really close.
"I love you"
He said again then hugged her tight. He buried his face to her shoulders.
Starfire was in shock. Was this a confession? Is this true? Will she believe it?
"Robin."
She nudged him a little, but he was not responding.
Suddenly, she felt his weight on her. She needed to hug him in order to support his weight.
"Robin?"
The boy wonder fell in deep sleep while Starfire was holding him.
"X'hal"
She supported him. Using her super strength, she hugged Robin to herself and floated, bringing him to his bed.
She gently laid him. He was really knocked out as he didn't move.
A thing dropped from his pocket. It was his phone. It beeped and Starfire contemplated on whether she should get a look or not. She knew how to use the phone as Cyborg had thought her the basics of technology.
She reached for the phone and stared at it. Sure it was really not good to pry into someone else's phone but Robin was no someone.
Still she hesitated and then curiosity won her over.
She opened it and there were two new messages from an unknown number. She opened it, not bothering if she was going too far.
Hey, thanks for tonight. Had a fairly good time.
Are you home? Call me if you are.
That was the two unread messages but there's also the inbox, in which it shows a couple of messages coming from the same number.
Thanks for driving me home tonight. I'll miss you. Come see me again, sometime.
Hey, thanks for the kiss. At least you didn't shove me off this time. Let's do that again sometime.
I love you.
What was so wrong, really? Blow after blow are coming to her. The recent events and now this? After kissing her and saying I love you, she read a text implicating that Robin was with someone tonight, kissed her and told her he loved her like what he said and done to her.
Finally, she decided that she wouldn't let herself be bothered on what Robin told her. Enough is enough. She could only take a little before she would break down. It wasn't true, she said to herself.
It's not true that he loved her. Maybe, he'd mistaken her as the girl. She was the wrong one.
She put the phone in his pocket.
She didn't know what to do as she never nursed a drunk before. Thankfully, Cyborg went in.
"How is he?"
"He's asleep."
"Okay."
"Cyborg I wish to go now. Is it the okay if I leave you here with him?"
"Of course"
"I thank you. You know I wouldn't be that much help."
"Don't worry. I'll manage."
She nodded and exits his room. Walking through the common room, it was just in time that Raven and Beast Boy arrived.
"Friends!"
She cheered herself for them. It would not be nice to be sad after their happy date.
"Hi Star." Beast Boy grinned at her. It seemed that their date seemed to go well.
She smiled at him.
"I take it that you two had a nice night, yes?"
Raven just gave her a brief smile, as she was not into expressing her feelings.
"I shall be resigning to bed now as I am really tired. I believe Raven, we should do the girl talk tomorrow, yes?"
Raven stared at her, noticing that something was wrong in her emotions.
"Star, are you okay?"
"I am..." Starfire was no good at lying and she doesn't want to lie after all. "Well...I am not, but I do not wish for us to talk about it right now. Perhaps, tomorrow?"
"Alright. It would be a girl talk then."
"Yes. Yes. Goodnight everyone."
Starfire went up to her room , leaving Raven and Beast Boy.
"What's wrong with her?" Beast Boy asked Raven.
"I don't know yet but she seems hurt."
"Right. It's Rob's fault by the way."
"Where is he?"
Just then Cyborg was walking towards them, answering her question.
"His in his room. Drunk."
"What?!" Beast Boy exclaimed.
Their leader was too much self controlled that he found it unbelievable he had been drunk.
"Azar. That must be why Star's upset."
"Really? She helped me get Rob to his room."
"I don't know. We'll talk tomorrow. How is he?"
"His fine now. I tried to change his clothes but then he woke up and said he would be fine so I let it be. I had him drink meds for hang over. All in all, his perfectly fine. Maybe just a headache in the morning."
"What happened to him? I mean he wasn't one to get drunked."
"I don't know BB. It's late. Let's just all retire for now and talk about things tomorrow."
"Probably a good idea."
Raven said and went back to her own room. The two followed and went to their respective rooms.
XXXXX
Robin opened his eyes, his head throbbing. How he ended up in his bed, he didn't know.
He stood up and went to wash his face. He took a shower and let himself be soaked wet under the spraying water, allowing himself to think things through.
He went on a drink with Jason who went with a girl, much to his disappointment as they've agreed it would be just the two of them.
"Man, I told you just you."He said to Jason as they leave the girl behind so they could talk in privacy.
"Relax bro. She's here with me."
"Not again, you told me that the other time."
"Okay okay, well she wants to dig you but I told her, she can't and if she wants she could go with me."
"I told you Jay, if Star knew this..."
"Which she won't, alright? And if she knows, so? She's not your girlfriend or something."
"But..."
"Chill, man. Trust me okay. You'll be fine."
"I warned you."
"Alright. I know."
He said and walked back to the girl, who was looking at him and not to Jason.
She's fine. Pretty. A red head. But no one could ever be compared to Starfire. She will always win.
He sighed as he thought of her. The way he reacted the night she was back from her little trip. He must have been over reacted but he can't help it. Sure he know Starfire could manage herself but still, it doesn't mean he can't worry about her.
True to his words, Jason was with the girl, never letting her approached Dick.
He sat on a stool and ordered a drink. Not an alcoholic one as he didn't drink.
Why was he here on the first place?
Well, he's here to brood over Starfire, on how much of a jerk he is.
Jason went to his side and offers him a drink. He hesitated to take it as it was an alcoholic drink.
"You know I never drink."
"Just one please. Don't be such a kill. Enjoy your night before you return to the tower."
He thought of whether to drink it or not, and gave in as Jason said just one would be enough.
"Alright. Just one. I have to drive."
"Right. Hey, can I leave Amber here for just a minute."
The girl or Amber it is, seat beside him before he could even respond to Jason.
"I swear I'll be back. " And with that he left.
"So...hi."
Dick being the gentleman he is endured his time with her.
"Hey."
"I'm Amber. I know you."
"Really? So I've been told."
"What did Jason told you?" She said with a flirty tone but that didn't affect him at all.
"My brother likes you."
He felt somewhat dizzy after taking the drink. She made her way near him.
"Really? I don't feel the same way about him."
He distanced his self from her, aware of the advances she'd made.
"Poor him." Was all he managed to say.
"I like you." She said without pausing, confident in her voice
"Um...I think my girlfriend wouldn't want that."
He said though he didn't have a girlfriend, just to make her stay away.
"How sad. I bet I'm better than your girlfriend. We could have fun, you know. She's not here."
"No. I don't do strangers and I don't do anyone."
"Loyal, huh? What's her name?"
He thought of a name and the first thing that come to his head was her. How he wished she could be his girlfriend.
"Her name's Star."
"Star?" She laughed. "What a name! What? Is she in grade school or something?"
"No. I love her name as much as I love her, and if you think you're way better than her, think again. Your fingers can't even be compared to hers. She's this unbelievably gorgeous that I can't look for any other girl."
What he said was true, as Starfire was this unbelievably gorgeous. Starfire was pretty before she even came here on Earth, but as the years passed, she definitely grown into a fine lady.
"But..."
"No buts...I don't like you at all."
He said just in time for Jason to return.
"Hey bro, sorry for the wait up."
He glared at him. He was feeling drunk and regretted that he drink the half glass that Jason gave him, all at once.
"What did you give me?"
"Why? Something wrong?" He smirked at him.
"Jason, you're in so much trouble. I'm going."
He stood up and about to leave when Jason stopped him.
"Just so you know I didn't put anything in your drink. It's just that it's really hard even for a half glass. I'm pretty feeling the same."
He snorted.
"We're going to. Let's just first drop off Amber."
He sighed and said fine.
They called in their driver 'cause they're too drunk to drive home.
They get in and drove off in silence.
He woke up when they stopped at Amber's house. She opened the front seat to leave.
He didn't care at all.
Jason was asleep next to him. No one bothered to walk Amber to her door.
It was when Amber opened the door of the seat he were in and kissed him.
He was shocked and didn't want the feeling.
He didn't responded 'cause he didn't like it. In fact, he was feeling a bit disgusted on her.
He strongly pushed her off, making her lost her balance. He wiped off his mouth.
She smiled at him and said "Thank you for that wonderful kiss"
"Not wonderful at all." He said before closing the door and they went off.
They dropped Jason to the manor. He instructed the driver to get him back to Jump. He needs to go home now. It's late so probably no one would notice him.
He put on his mask as they neared the tower.
He dropped off and wobbled his way to the secret tunnel connecting his way through the tower without having to travel by water.
He entered and was surprised to see Cyborg and Starfire eating.
Busted. They saw him anyway.
He greeted them and joined them.
He remembered Starfire helping him to his room and then nothing. Maybe he fell asleep.
Then it hit him. His eyes widened as he realized something.
He kissed Starfire. He kissed the girl he loves. He reached for his lips, remembering the feeling of her lips on his.
A thought struck him.
Did he?
Did he confess to her?
"God, what have I done?" He muttered to himself. He hurried and finished his shower and went downstairs to join the others.
There was no one there. He glanced up the clock and saw it was nearly 4:00 a.m. Pretty early, that explains it. He went to the kitchen and went to fix himself a cup of coffee.
He was still feeling a little light headed but was perfectly fine.
He promised himself never to drink again.
A door opened and he turned.
Starfire was there. A shock on her face were seen as she didn't expected Robin to be up this early, considering his dilemma that night.
Robin tensed up as he remembered their fight and the things he done last night.
"Star"
She didn't say anything just looked at him.
"I'm sorry."
"What about?"
"The fight before I left, I was really over reacting that time. I didn't consider if my words would hurt you. I'm really sorry."
"No need"
She just shrugged at him like nothing happened and he wondered at that.
"Um...Star?"
"Yes?"
"Did you know that I'm drunk last night?"
"Yes. I am the one who carried you to your room."
"So..."
"So...what?"
"Did I...did I say something to you?"
Starfire dismissed her thoughts. She said to herself she wouldn't say anything about what happened.
"No, none at all. I remembered you were smiling crazy but it explains because you are drunk."
"Really?" He remembered it clearly on his head but then, maybe he was just thinking it. He let it slide.
"How about..."
"What?" She asked him.
"Did I do anything stupid?"
She remembered the kiss they've shared. How good it was, but she made herself appeared as if nothing amazing happened.
"No. I brought you to bed and you fell asleep. I didn't wake you. Then Cyborg went in and I went to bed."
"Oh. I remember that."
"Are you feeling the okay?"
"I am, just...nevermind. Why are you up so early?"
"As do you."
"Well I woke up early."
"I couldn't sleep."
"That explains it. Um...Star?"
"Are we okay?"
"Yes."
"Sure?"
"I am most sure. Why, is there something I need to be worried about?"
"No not at all." He shrugged.
"Then, if you will excuse me I shall go to bed."
"But you said you're not sleepy at all? Come stay with me."
That would be the reason she wanted to go back in her room.
"I am sorry but I am feeling tired and I wish to lay in bed."
"All right then."
She went to her room. She opened her drawer and retrieve the doll couple she bought.
She sat near her window, waiting sunrise.
She examined it at her hand.
"Should I throw you away now?"
A tear fell from her cheek and she wiped it off.
