Hi there! We're begging for reviews. ;);) Hope you like the chapter ‚cause we sure enjoyed writing it.


Past Ted:

I open my eyes and try to get up but my head hurts really bad.

„Dammit!" If that's not a hangover. I try to remember what happend last night. I know there is something important, something about Robin and I need to find it out.

But first of all I need to drink a cup of coffee and eat some breakfast.

While I'm eating I'm hopelessly trying to figure out what happened the day before. But suddenely, it isn't blurry anymore but completely revealing.

Robin kissed me and I know I really enjoyed it. Maybe she was drunk and let her feelings take over. She just couldn't help herself. She had to kiss „the Mosby". I should talk to her right now and ask her what's going on. I open the door to her room but there is nobody and when I walk over to the bathroom, there is nobody either. I have no clue where she could be. It's 11.00 a.m. on a Saturday and she is nowhere to be found. It could be that she's at MacLaren's, couldn't it? But not alone and not that early. I guess I have to call her and find out. She's the one. I know it.

Meanwhile in Barney's apartment:

Past Robin:

„Soo...", is all I say for now.

When I'm actually trying to say something, my cell phone rings.

„Sorry, Barney. Let me take this one."

„Hi Ted."

„Hi Robin. I was wondering where you are on a Saturday morning."

„Nice to talk to you, too. I'm actually having a really important conversation right now. Look, could you maybe wait until I've got the time to talk to you?"

„I...actually..what I've got to say is rather important as well."

„Can't you just tell me over the phone?"

„Nooo?"

„Then I guess it's not important enough."

„Fiiine. Just..I was wondering why you kissed me."

Oh damn. I really didn't think of any consequences by kissing Ted. I mean, sure, he is my ex-boyfriend, who I'm currently living with, but it kind of didn't seem that important when I was trying to get Barney jeaous, who, by the way, looks at me rather curious.

„I..Ted...I can't tell you right now. I'm...busy."

Barney laughs and obiviously Ted hears it when he asks: „Are you at Barney's? You don't want to talk to me about this because you're at Barney's? This is crazy. I'm coming over."

„No way. I'm coming over! Just stay the hell where you are!"

.

Now Barney is completely confused.

He says: „I thought this was so important to you."

„It is. And it should be important to you as well. I just need to talk to Ted right now. Don't move. Unless you have to pee. But no, just don't move. I'm coming over as soon as I talked to Ted."

„Right. I could watch a porn in the meantime."

I just roll my eyes: „Do whatever you want Barney. It's not like I can keep you from doing it."

„Actually...oh whatever. I will watch ‚Sex Architect'." And then he puts the movie in.

„Gosh. You could've just waited until I was out."

„Huh?"

„Nevermind."

„Robin! Could you please be quiet now? This is a really awesome scene."

He's unbelivable. I can't believe I'm falling for such a guy.

And with that thought, I'm walking out.

Past Ted:

I'm sitting on the coach when I hear Robin is unlocking the door.

What the heck? What is she wearing. That's definitely not her t-shirt and those are so not her pyjama pants.

„Hi Ted."

„Whose pants are these?"

„Is nobody able to greet me with a proper ‚Hello, How are you?' anymore?"

„I'm sorry" and I point to the coach. „Take a seat." She sits down next to me.

We don't say anything for a good few seconds.

She just looks at me. That's the sign. I should start.

„So...Rooobin."

„So...Teeed. I don't have time for this."

„You kissed me."

„Yes. I did."

„That's all? That's really all you say about it?"

„What do you want me to say?"

„Well, we've been together for a whole year. We've been living together for some time now. Could it be that maybe you are a little into me again?"

She starts laughing out loud. She even grunts. Not a good sign.

Grunting Robin=pure sarcasm

„You..You think I'm in love with you again?"

„I would understand it. I mean look at me."

And there is the grunting again.

„Oh Ted! You're one funny guy."

„Well, what is then? Why did you kiss me?" I'm doubting my mind right now.

She opens her mouth and wants to say something but I have another question that needs to be answered.

„And whose clothes are you wearing?"

„First of all, you do not have any right to know whose clothes I'm wearing. Second of all, I'm not in love with you. I just kissed you to...let's say...prove a point."

Am I crazy or what did I miss? I am getting loud now.

„And? Did I prove your point, little Miss-proving-a-point?"

„Seriously Ted? That's the best you could come up with?"

„Just answer the damn question." I rise up from the coach and point at her with my index finger.

„Ted. I am not in love with you. I'm actually kind of hoping to date somebody else. The kiss meant nothing."

„It meant something to me. You just don't go around and kiss any person you want to. Actually, Barney does that. But that's not the point. We broke up because you never wanted commitment. And then you've been with Barney. And Don. I mean, come on. What's wrong with me? You're the one I want to marry."

She looks at me, as if completely weirded out by the fact to marry me one day.

Then she grabs a pillow and hits me with it 5 times.

„Have you lost your mind? Have you ever thought that I just didn't want commitment with you?"

Ouch. That hurt. I sit down on the coach again.

I don't know what to say.

„Ted? Ted, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you. I'm just confused. You're my best friend and I don't want things to get weird between us. I didn't know that you still had feelings for me. I am truly sorry but I have moved on."

„Moved on? You and Don broke up two weeks ago."

„Ted, I'm angry at Don but I'm not in love with him anymore. Neither am I with you. If you want me to, I could move out."

„No! No, it's fine. I'll get over it."

She looks at me with true compassion and says: „I really have to go now. Talk to you later, buddy."

She's out the door.

My ‚buddy'.
