Comment: :))) I like you, reviewers and people who follow and favourite x) Haha! Another request below. It's about the lemon law. It's a thing!
"So, Scherbatsky. How was dinner with the soulmate?" Barney smirks. "Have you already arranged a second date?"
Robin purses her lips, pretending to be thinking. "Nah. I'm not sure he'd be up for it. He didn't believe that call actually was from the hospital."
He shakes his head amusedly. "Just admit you would've lemon lawed him."
"Okay, first of all, that's not a thing. And secondly," she says over his protests, "I still stand my ground. Getting to know someone takes longer than five minutes."
He's stilling smirking, and a brilliant thought pops up in her mind. "Otherwise, we wouldn't be talking right now."
"How's that?"
"Well, the first five minutes I spent with you were on Ted's third party, and you were going on and on about how you screwed that chick no-one knew. If I'd just left it at that, I would have missed out on the funny, crazy, charismatic person that you actually are underneath all that bullshit."
The silence between them stretches, and she doesn't miss that he's leaning closer to her, his eyes gleaming playfully. "So you're saying you're glad you got to know me?"
"Don't be too smug about it," she smiles.
"I'll try."
