Hey! New chapter along with another apology for the long wait. Enjoy it and the next chapter will follow soon. R&R please!
Barney stares at her, „Wow, what happened?"
„This idiot kicked me out of my flat. As it seems, it´s not enough that Scout is out of the house, I have to go too."
„But you didn´t do anything, did you?"
„Of course not! Scout and his barking were the only problem!"
„That´s really bad, I´m sorry for you."
„Thank you. But now, I have nowhere to sleep... so, is it possible to sleep on your couch? Just for one night... maybe a few nights. I will look for a flat as soon as possible and I´ll pay rent."
„Of course, you can stay. I can´t kick my nanny out.", Barney winks, „Oh yeah, and don´t even dare to pay anything. It´s my pleasure to have you here."
„That´s so kind, thank you so much!" Robin almost hugs him, but it comes to her mind that Barney is her boss after all and she maybe shouldn´t be that affectionate.
Out of the blue, Barney suddenly asks, „Do you want to sleep in my bed?"
Robin blushes. Did she hear right? Did he just asked her to sleep in his bed? Is this sexual harassment now? Maybe not, as she would love to go to bed with him. But is he expecting she is sleeping with him as a thank you for his favour for real now? „Uhhhhh, I don´t know...", she stutters. Hell, she absolutely thinks about doing dirty things with him, but ... the big but: He´s her boss. She can´t sleep with her boss. That would be so inappropriate. And what about Ellie? She would be traumatized for life when she sees her nanny and her daddy making out or even worse sleeping together.
„You don´t have to. I just thought maybe you´d prefer sleeping in a real bed than on a couch after those stressful days and I don´t mind sleeping onto a couch for a change. We can alternate. One day I sleep on the couch, the other you sleep on the couch.", Barney clarifies.
„Ohhhh", he offered her his bed. Only his bed not himself and his bed. Robin is so thankful right now, she didn´t say another word. It would have been the most embarassing thing in the word, if he had found out, she actually thought of going to bed with him.
„That would be great. Thank you so much, Barney."
„Ok, well, so I will get some clean sheets for you and then you can go to bed."
„Thank you. So, it really doesn´t matter to you when you´re sleeping on the couch?"
„Absolutely not. You need some rest. It´s okay, otherwise I wouldn´t offer it." When Barney goes to get the sheets he suddenly turns around and winks at Robin, „But if I have some troubles on the couch I will join you in bed. Or if you need someone to hold you, I´m here."
Robin blushes again. Is this the way to talk to an employee? Maybe he also has a little crush on her? Robin get your shit together, for the last time: He is your boss and you´re taking care of his daughter!, Robin scolds herself – though nobody can forbid her to at least fantasize about Barney Stinson.
The next morning, Robin is confused, when she doesn´t wake up in her own bed. She has to remind herself of where she is. The oversize-bed, the incredibly soft and good smelling sheets – she feels like a queen in here. She would love to stay in this bed the whole day... and she wouldn´t mind to get some company by a certain man. However she scolds herself to stop dreaming, getting up and do her work. When she enters the kitchen, Barney and Ellie already sit at the table enjoying their breakfast, as always – only that this time Robin does not come from the outside but from the bedroom.
„Good morning"
„Good morning!", Ellie answers.
„Good morning, Robin. Hope you slept well?"
„Unbelievably well. The bed is awesome."
„Oh, I know. Like its owner, right?", he winks at her once again.
Robin stares at him, He has to stop! He drives me out of my mind. This is too much sexual tension – especially in the morning, and especially, when I haven´t had sex in months now. This is not funny. Does he know, I´m hot for him and so he´s teasing me?
„Can I have some coffee, please? I really need a cup.", Robin asks instead of answering the question. Barney smirks and gives her a cup.
„So, do you two have some special plans today?", Barney asks and Ellie and Robin tell him about the playground where they plan to go to.
