Come Find Me

Time To Mingle

MIA'S POV

I stepped out of the elevator into a huge open room black and gold decorations hung everywhere, with a hug crystal chandelier in the middle of the room. Servers walked around the room offering people nibbles and drinks. All the guests looked like they had all come from a Hollywood red carpet, I instinctively pulled at my dress nervously.

If anyone was paying attention to me right now they would be able to tell that this is the first Tony Stark party I have been too. I can't help but have a huge grin on my face as I look around at the gorgeous people socialising having a great time.

I slowly walk round to the bar knowing I will need a little bit of liquid courage before I start talking to anyone. I order two shots of tequila and a gin and tonic, I immediately down the shots and take a big drink of my gin.

'Wow I guess someone came here tonight to party.' I hear the gentleman besides me say.

'More like a few shots of courage before I brave the sea of people.' I say turning to see who I'm talking too.

'I don't think I know you do I?' He asks.

I turn to the man beside me and see Tony Stark casually leaning against the bar facing me.

'Oh Mr Stark hi its so nice to meet you. No we haven't meet I'm Mia I'm an old friend of Dr Banner he invited me I hope you don't mind.' I say sticking out my hand for him to shake.

'Well I'd never turn away a stunning woman like you.' Tony says while he slowly takes my hand and takes a slow judging look at me.

I feel my cheeks start to flush as he checks me out only to look back up into my eyes. I stare into his deep brown eyes not quite knowing what to say. Tony seems to find my lack of words amusing as he lets out a soft chuckle and turns to get the barmaids attention. I quickly compose myself.

'I didn't really know what to expect coming here, I mean I've read about your parties before in the gossip magazines but they are usually only focused on the crazy or scandalous events of the evening.' I say setting my drink down on the bar.

'The night is still young plenty of time for some drama to happen.' He says while winking at me. 'So how do you know my old friend Bruce.'

'We both lived in India at the same time, he was a friend of my mums more than he was mine back then I was just an annoyance to him.' I chuckle while taking a slip off my drink.

'Are you even old enough to drink?' Tony asks with an eyebrow raised.

'I'm 24, but I suppose it will take me a bit of time getting used to the fact that people start drinking here much later. Back in England the drinking age is 18 so I've had a few years practicing, although that never stopped me even before then.' I laugh remembering all the times my brother would sneak me drinks at parties we went to.

'A girl that can handle her drink is my kind of girl.' Tony says leaning towards me slightly.

I feel my heart start to race so I turn towards the bar and quickly order myself another drink.

'Tell me is iron man a big hit in London.' Tony asks looking into my eyes.

'Probable not as much as you are hoping, everyone is a bit more Thor crazy over there, I mean he is a god and that gorgeous hair.' I stop myself before I say to much, no one needs to know about my little crush on the god of thunder.

'Oh interesting I suppose i'll have to pay London a visit soon, jog their memories.' Tony says trying to hide the annoyance at my obvious love of Thor.

'Well it was lovely meeting you Mr Stark but I should really go find Dr Banner now.' I say while picking up my drink.
