Chapter twenty three: Girl talk

"Good morning miss Y/N, Miss Potts is requesting you in the kitchen. She has made breakfast."

"Thank you Jarvis."

I get up and get dressed in the the bathroom in casual clothing. I honestly can't stop think about yesterday. I could barely talk to him normally so I ended up leaving. He isn't stupid I know he could sense my nerves.

I put my hair into a low ponytail because my curls are really not cooperating right now.

I walk to the kitchen to only Pepper being there.
"Hey Pepper, where is everyone?"

"They are having a meeting with Director Fury," she says handing me a cup of hot chocolate.

"Oh ok." I sit on a stool by the island. Pepper puts the mug she used into the sink then takes a seat next to me.

"You know... I can see it."

Confused I rub my face thinking maybe there was something on it or something. "See what," I ask.

"I can see how you are with Loki."

I choke up a bit but hide it by taking a sit of the hot chocolate. "And how am I with exactly?" I ask trying to play stupid.

She playfully rolls her eyes before saying, "oh come on Y/N. You bring him breakfast in the morning, spend hours with him talking, and you come up looking flustered last night. I'm not blind," She chuckles.

Still trying to play it cool I casually finish my drink and get up to wash our cups.

"I don't know what your talking about. I'm just being nice."

"Well that could be the case but you wanna know what I think?" She asks playfully.

"Sure."

"I think you like him."

I drop the mug in the sink and I hear her laugh out loud.

"I knew it." She says content with my reaction.

I put both mugs on the metal rack to dry off them and go back to my seat.

"I don't like Loki more then anyone else here." I don't even believe myself I sound ridiculous.

"You don't have to say but I can see it. But just know you can talk to me about it. I know forgiveness, as you can see I give a lot of it in my relationship with Tony... patient too."

I sigh letting the act up.

"It's just... he's so different but just like me at the same time, you know? He has an attitude and he can be a dick sometimes but I really do like talking to him."

She smiles at me encouraging me to continue.

"I've been through a lot and I know he has too. When Tony came to save me he very well could have left me to the authorities, unsure of my powers and if I could have put you in danger." I shift in my seat nervous of her response.

"He has done some terrible things but everyone deserves forgiveness and a second chance... maybe a third one in Loki's situation." She laughs a little which is kind of reassuring.

"Y/N I get it. We've all had to do some questionable things. We all make mistakes," she gently places her hand over mine on the counter, "I'm just happy your happy. I like to see you spend time with him because I know your safe and trying to do better."

"I really am trying Pep," my eyes tear up a little.

She caresses the side of my face and wipes the tear, "I know and I'm so proud of you. Just know that I support you no matter what. Even if you choose to be with him."
I laugh out loud and thank her for everything.

This is really my life now. Being surrounded with such loving people.

I spent an hour taking a bubble bath and reading one of the books from my bookshelf. Tony really does spoil me.
When they came back from the meeting Natasha went to train for a while and Bruce went to the lab.

The rest of the team stayed in the living room talking. Steve started to tell me about his friend Bucky that I'd be meeting soon. They seem really close, he talks so highly of him.

We decided to watch a few classic movies before going to bed early.
