Fall Slowly

You're all I have

Tony

I wanted to kiss her so bad, she looked so beautiful. I took a step closer this one kiss could be what I need to get her out of my system, or it could be the start of a new addiction.

"I need a drink." She said stepping away from me and we seemed to snap out of the trance as she started to walk in. I told her to wait here while I went to get the drinks. I walked over to the bar

"Two vodka martinis, lots of olives, very dry, make one dirty." I told him and I waited I glanced over at the balcony doors I couldn't wait to get back out there.

"Here you are sir." I tipped him and grabbed the drinks

"Nice publicity stunt." I turned and saw that reporter from Brown that I slept with. I tried to stay calm and I glanced towards the balcony making sure Gianna couldn't see us

"Carrie right?"

"Christine. you have a lot of nerve showing your face tonight." She said

"Panic. Panic is my reaction."

"I'm not talking about us I'm talking about your company's latest bombing."

"What are you talking about?"

"You know and I almost bought your act too."

"I'm not following, what are you talking about?" she handed me a stack of pictures I sat the drinks down and flipped through the pictures. I recognized a few of the men because they held me hostage but what really caught my eyes it was stamped 'Stark Industries'

"It's from a town called Gulmiera."

"When were these taken?" I asked

"Yesterday."

"I can't be I haven't approved any shipments."

"Well your company did."

"Well I'm not my company." I took the pictures and went to find Obi, I found him near the doors looking like he was in a rush

"Did you know about this?" I asked him showing him the pictures

"What is going on in Gulmiera?" I asked and he laughed shaking his head

"Tony, Tony, Tony you can't be this naïve."

"Are you...are you double dealing? Under my name? my father's name?" I said stepping closer to him wanting to punch him, but he wrapped an arm around me

"Come on let's take a picture." He said pointing to the reporter who came over holding a camera but I still couldn't bring myself to smile, then he whispered in my ear

"Tony who do you think locked you out?" He said I looked at him in shock

"I'm the one who filed the injunction, it was the only way to protect you.' He said then walked off, how didn't I see this coming? I knew our level of trust was om shaky ground but this? I looked down at the pictures and I knew what I had to do to help these people

Gianna

I paced the balcony waiting for Tony

"Waiting for someone?" I turned to see the blonde the I kicked out of Tony's house a few months ago

"No I'm just getting some fresh air." I said then I started to walked back inside

"He's gone, just so you know."
