Part 2

On the cab ride over they kept looking at each other and smiling. When they weren't making out that is. How did she even get here?

Lets see, she was at the bar, pretty drunk. Enter Barney. There was talking and alcohol, make that a lot of alcohol. Ahh alcohol... That led to kissing. At first the kissing was light, it wasn't that much. But then, like the alcohol, it became a lot too. She doesn't even know how long they were making out before she whispered, "Barney, lets go home." He pushes harder into the kiss, his way of saying yes.

They slowly stand, entangled in each other. They kiss the whole time - walking to the door, hailing a cab, and even now as they were riding to her place.

"We close yet?" He says breathlessly.

"Here." He smiles and she bites her lip, just about ready to pounce. He winks at the doorman as they pass the lobby and she fumbles for her key to open the door. When they make it inside she just can't take it anymore. She starts at his tie while he pulls off his shoes as fast as he can. Next she goes for the belt, but Barney cuts her off.

"Wa- wa-wait, " he holds up his hands, " Are you sure?"

"Barney, yes. I may be drunk, but I know what I'm doing."

"Good, cause I can't wait to get my hands on that body." He says touching her figure. She looks at him mischievously and they get back into it. He tears off her blouse and she finishes on his button up. Peeling it off, she sees his abs and strokes them, running her fingers up and down the muscles. She's always had a weakness for them. Just as he's always had a weakness for her breasts. They were the perfect size for him, which is why he can never wait to get under her bra.

He unhooks it with such ease. Like riding a bike he thinks because it's Robin and he knows exactly how to do everything with her. Next he slowly runs his hand up her leg, all the way to the inner thigh, which makes her tremble.

Within a couple of minutes they're both all the way undressed and totally ready, luckily the apartment is empty. He lifts her up onto the bed and she laughs lightly at this. He jumps up with her and is ready for a magical evening when something falls from the bed.

It's a piece of paper. He usually wouldn't pay any attention to it, especially whens he's about to be with Robin Scherbatsky, but he sees his name on it. That's weird he thinks.

"What's this?" He says. She tires to stop him but he has no trouble holding it over her head and reading it, thinking it's nothing but a juicy little diary entry or something. But when he finishes reading it, he's a little hurt.

"I, Robin Scherbatsky, will never mess up my friendship with Barney Stinson again, especially not by developing feelings for him again!" he says in almost disgust. This sparks so many questions - When did she write this? Why does she need this? Does she not want them to happen again? "Wa- what? Robin, did you - when - why do - ju- just - what?" He says stuttering, unable to finish a real sentence.

Her eyes widen to the size of a hockey puck. "Barney, lemme explain." She lifts her hands in defense and tries to not talk so fast. He decides to ask the most important question.

"You- you don't want us to happen?"

"No, no! It's just that when we broke up it got so complicated and weird and- "

"Yeah, sure, ya know if you didn't want this you didn't have to. You started the kiss anyway, you asked to go home!" He ends in a yell.

"You're overreacting! And don't try to blame this on me! Ditto buddy, if you didn't want this - if you don't want this, walk away!" She's also yelling at this point.

"Well maybe I will! Seya Robin!" He's been getting redressed and is now dressed enough to leave, so he storms out.

"So long!" She screams, but as soon as the door slams shut she curls onto the bed and bawls. No, stop it! Keep it together Scherbatsky, she thinks, but it doesn't help. It's a long, awful night for her.


He's breathing hard after that screaming match with Robin. He can't believe it. He thought she wanted the same thing he did. He thought she wanted to get back together. He thought, he thought that nothing could keep them apart this time around. But apparently not, apparently she 's trying to keep them apart. A contract? Why is she so against this?

Then it hits him, how could he be so stupid? It said it, right there on the paper, to save their friendship. Their best friendship, which he may have just ruined. So stupid! He pounded his palm against his forehead. He knew there was one thing he could do to save this and he was going to do it if it killed him. He jumped out of the cab and ran back to Robin's. I'll be damned if I don't get her back.
