I decided to continue this when I realized many people liked the 1 chapter, so I hope you like this too.
Thank you to everyone who reviewed the last chapter. I wouldn't have continued if it wasn't for you.
The kiss lasted for a couple of seconds before he pulled away. "Does it taste good to kiss a guy who has spent the whole night vomiting?" He said with a smirk.
He looked happier than he had earlier, which made Robin relieved, but she'd just kissed him. Was this cheating? She'd lied to Ted. She told him she had to work and she was now at Barney's fortress kissing him to make him feel better. She felt so much guilt. Because of Barney and because of Ted.
She bit her lower lip while her head was exploding with thoughts of what she'd just done. She was so deep in thoughts she hadn't noticed that Barney had moved to the bathroom.
"Are you alright in there?" She asked him as silent as she could, scared she would wake Ellie.
"I'm fine, I'm brushing my teeth. This acid taste in my mouth is killing me." He opened his mouth and filled it with tooth paste.
"Ugh, is that helping?" Robin asked curious.
Barney nodded to her reflection in the mirror.
"Well, I should probably go home." She said doubtful.
He turned to look at her. "Yeah, I guess you should." His eyes gave her a feeling he was far from happy in life.
"Do you have anything you wanna talk about?" She said and stepped closer.
His eyes looked straight into her with a passion she hadn't seen for years. It was a way he'd just looked at her and she hadn't seen that look since they were married and now that they weren't, the look kind of scared her, but she kept stepping closer to him.
He scratched his hair, still looking directly in her eyes while she came closer. "Barney, tell me what's wrong." She said with a sensitive voice.
Suddenly he broke the eye contact and looked down, "I can't do it." He mumbled.
"What can't you do? Tell me what's wrong?" She said and tried to get eye contact with him again, but he just stared down at the bathroom floor.
"No, not that." His voice got hoarse again.
"Barney, you wanna talk about something?" She was just inches away from him and some part of her wanted to give him another hug, but something told her a hug would lead to more and this time it would be more than just a small kiss.
"I...I...I'm not happy." He started crying again and it was too much for her. She closed the space between them and hugged him tight.
She didn't say anything, she just let him cry.
They were standing like that for minutes before he decided to talk again.
"I love her, Robin, but...but."
He didn't say who he loved, but Robin had a feeling he was talking about Ellie. "But what?" She asked while stroking his hair.
"Something's, I mean, someone's missing." She wasn't sure what he meant by it, but decided to let him finish.
"I love her more than anyone, my heart belongs to her, but she shares it with someone else and that person will never be mine." He was crying even more now. Robin heard everything and started to feel nauseous. Tears started forming in her eyes when he said more.
"I've realized Ellie makes me happy, but, but my heart misses someone and I need that person to make it whole, but she loves someone else."
Robin felt dizzy, she knew Barney hadn't loved anyone of those bimbos he banged after their divorce, which meant the only woman he'd loved before Ellie had to be her. The problem was that she was married and she loved Ted, but she realized now that they'd been fooling themselves. She'd never loved him like this. She'd never loved him like she loves Barney.
Barney stepped away from her and this time it was his turn to question her. "Are you alright?" He held hid hands on her shoulders looking down at her. She wondered how long she'd been here. Would Ted wonder how long she would be gone? Everything seemed to be a mess in her head, but her heart told her what she did was right, but also kind of wrong. To lie and cheat was wrong, but if you loved someone and cared about a person it was right to make that person feel better.
"I'm okay." She whispered, but tears streamed down her face. He stroke her left cheek and made her look him in the eyes.
"You're not okay." He said and pulled her into another hug.
"I've missed you, Barney."
"I've missed you too, Robin."
Robin pulled away and locked eyes with him. "So, you love me, huh?"
Barney nodded and tried to pull her in for another hug, but she went for his mouth and once her lips met his, he pulled away.
"No, Robin. What about, Ted?" She let out a small sigh,
"I've never loved him like I love you." Barney looked at her in awe before she pulled him in for a kiss and this time he obliged.
The kiss quickly heated and it didn't take long time before she opened up to him and she felt his tongue slowly entering her mouth. She felt her heart beat faster than it had in years. He pulled her closer to him and she moaned into the kiss. He pushed her into the wall slowly touching every part of her body. She loved the touch of his hands. She grabbed his hair, getting lost in the kiss. They were not aware of what time it was and they had no idea how long they'd been kissing when Barney slowly pulled away.
"You should probably go home, so Ted won't get suspicious"
Robin didn't want this to stop, but she realized he was right.
She went for the door, but before she exited she turned to see him right behind her. He looked at her and smiled and that was all she needed to see for her to get to sleep tonight. She opened the door and suddenly she felt his hand on hers. She turned for a second time to see him staring right into her eyes. "I need you, Scherbatsky."
She smiled, "good night, Barney."
She closed the door and walked slowly out of the building.
She lay on her side of the bed with her back against Ted. She could feel one of his hands over her waist. She closed her eyes and tried to sleep, but found it hard. All she could see when she closed her eyes was Barney. He smiled at her. And she couldn't stop thinking about the hot kiss they'd shared in his bathroom.
She didn't notice it herself, but she fell asleep with a smile on her face that night in Ted's arm. Full aware that she was thinking about a totally different man than the one beside her and she didn't really care. She needed Barney to be really happy. She knew that now.
Should I make more chapters of this? I'm really not sure how I feel about this chapter, but I have some ideas for future chapters, I just don't know if it's good. :/ If you have some suggestions on how I can continue it, I would like to know.
Reviews are highly appreciated. Reviews are what makes me want to write more.
