Robert cracked one of his eyes open as he felt the bed dip. He saw that it was still dark outside, but he was glad she was home. For a moment, he thought he wouldn't see her till the morning, but he was glad to be wrong.

"You just got in?" He croaked out.

"Yeah, we left France a bit late," Victoria replied as she brushed her hair.

Robert was in Victoria's apartment, waiting for her. Michael made him a copy of her keys per Victoria's request. They would go to his place, but her place was least likely to have paparazzi around. They alternated staying over the other's place, but since Victoria was away for the day, Robert decided to wait for her at her apartment. She was supposed to be home for dinner and he was worried when she didn't come, but she texted him to inform him she wouldn't be back till late.

It felt absolutely odd waiting around for her, but he was glad she came home safe.

He sat up, wrapping an arm around her middle, letting her lean back against his side. He kissed the back of her neck causing a shiver to run through her. The effect he had on her was obnoxious, yet, so satisfying.

"I'm glad you're home," he told her.

"Me too," Victoria smiled. She felt him rest his chin on her shoulder, his warm breath hitting her neck. "How was training?"

"It's training," he shrugged. "Everything run smoothly?"

"As smooth as it can, Michael was almost shot, but I saved him on time." Victoria was doing more team assignments lately and she wasn't as opposed to it as much as before. Usually, it was her, Michael, and Daniel who went on missions together. She was used to them, and she knew they could handle themselves, she had nothing to worry about.

"Glad he's okay," Robert ran his hand up and down her side. "Did you eat dinner?"

"Of course, you know I don't skip meals."

Robert laughed knowing how much Victoria loved food. "No, you don't."

Victoria placed her brush on her nightstand. Robert's arm was still wrapped around her, which she always found to be such a comforting feeling. She wasn't sure if it was his presence or the fact that he was always warm that made her welcome his touch. Either way, she was definitely not complaining.

Briefly, she removed his arm off her so she can get on the bed. Once she was situated, she wrapped his arm around her once more and lied down beside Robert who was now on his back again.

"Thank you for waiting for me." Victoria wasn't even sure how Robert Lewandowski broke her down, but he did. She could just deny him for so long. And she hated to admit it, but she truly enjoyed his company. She did all those years ago and she still did now. Even with the danger that hung over their heads, she couldn't exactly push him away, at this point, she couldn't, no matter how hard she tried.

"Of course," his arm moved to her shoulders, pulling her closer to him, placing a kiss on her forehead. "Do you have work in the morning?"

"Unfortunately, I have to write a report." Victoria groaned.

Robert chuckled. "Can we grab breakfast before I drop you off at work?"

"You're dropping me off? It's your day off, sleep in, be a normal human being."
