I love you 3000 (Tony Stark Fanfic)

Chapter 25: Bride-to-be

Natasha's POV
3 weeks later
Pepper and Tony get married tomorrow, it all feels so wrong. How can he marry her? I saw the way he looked at Genevieve, he was happier than ever before. She never told me what he said to her that night that made her leave so suddenly but I'm sure it was about their fling. They love each other, anyone who watches closely can see that from a mile away.

I was picked as one of the bridesmaids even though I despise Pepper with every bone in my body. She has no friends or family that we know of so it's only the team. The bachelorette party is tonight so I begin to pack my things. I should be packing for Tony and Genevieve's wedding, not Tony and Pepper's. Something in me says that he feels the exact same way.

Us girls says our goodbyes to the boys after we pack everything into the limo. We'll be staying the night at a fancy hotel and having a spa day. Gamora and I sat closer to each other than the other two since neither of us have ever liked them. Every one else seems to get along well with Cassie but something about her doesn't sit right with us.

We arrive at the hotel and check in before going to our room to unpack. There's two queen mattress's, one for Pepper and Cassie, the other for Gamora and I. We had a lot of time before the spa day begins so Pepper put on a her favorite chic flics.

"Can I tell you guys something? Promise not to tell the boys, I'll do that myself when we get back" Pepper pauses the movie and looks over to the rest of us. Gamora and I exchange a confused glance and we all nod our heads. A smile spreads across her face, "I invited Loki's brother to the wedding! He's bringing a plus one!" My jaw drops immediately.

"Oh my gosh that's so nice of you" Cassie jumped up and pulls her into a hug. Gamora hides her face in her palms with a sigh and I look down to the floor. "What's wrong?" They both ask us. Everyone is well aware of how the team feels about Loki, especially Thor. This includes them.

"I'm not sure if you guys have payed attention whenever Loki gets brought up but that wasn't a good idea. I understand you mean well but Loki is horrible, Thor even hates him" I explain. Pepper's smile fades for a second as I speak, she seems angry. Gamora looks up and furrows her brows at Pepper's facial expression.

Pepper must've realized she looks upset because she put on a big smile again, "Well it's too late to remove him from the guest list. I'm sure it won't be an issue, thank you for your concern." After the movie ends, we all get ready for the spa.

Tony's POV
The wedding is tomorrow and we're having the parties tonight. The girls are going to some fancy hotel with whatever plans they have but the boys and I are staying at the tower. We say our goodbyes to the girls as they head out the door and we all sit in the living room.

"So, what do you guys want to do?" I awkwardly ask as I sit down on the couch. They all look at each other as if they're sending telepathic messages. "We've been waiting for years to see that suit you've been working on" Rocket jumps up. Shit, that entire suit was a cover up so I could look for Gen without having any interruptions. "It's not finished, you guys know that" I force out a chuckle.

"Tony, you're a genius. It can't take this long to make one suit" Bruce chips in. I'm well aware of that idiot, if it was really a suit it would've been done ages ago. "Well I'm actually making multiple, super high-tech ones. You know how overboard I can go" I make up a quick lie. I really am one to go over the top so hopefully they believe this.

They all keep begging to see the suit, all of them but Rogers. "You good man?" Rocket asks him and he finally looks over at me. "You've been putting years effort into high-tech suits but couldn't take a god damn minute out of your day to look for Genevieve?!" he stands up and yells at me.

"I don't recommend speaking on subjects you know nothing about, Rogers" I slowly stand up and look him in the eyes. Staying calm is my biggest concern, I can't lose it and start spilling everything. The room is silent for a moment and I can feel how uncomfortable everyone else is.

Rogers let's out a dry laugh, "I know nothing about this subject? Really? Because last I checked, I'm the only one who is still looking for her every day. Everyone else gave up and you never even started!" I look around the room and everyone had lowered their heads in regret. They should feel bad about giving up, she wouldn't have done that to them.

"Rogers, I won't fight with you, not again" I sigh and sit back down. He rolls his eyes and turns his back to me, "Just show us those suits man." I felt a sudden burst of anger and I get back off of the couch. "THERE ARE NO DAMN SUITS, I LIED SO I COULD LOOK FOR GEN WITHOUT INTERRUPTIONS! I FUCKING LOVE HER ROGERS!!" I scream at him as loud as I can.

It takes me a moment before I realize the words that just left my mouth. The room is completely silent, Rogers hasn't even turned back around to look at me. Everyone is frozen.
"What do you mean you love her?" I hear Rogers barely whisper. He still doesn't turn around, he just sits down slowly and looks down at the floor.

"What the fuck do you think I mean Einstein? I mean that I have been madly in love with her since the day she walked up those stairs" I respond quietly as I fight back tears. Everyone but Rogers is giving each other awkward glances. "Then why are you marrying Pepper?" Rogers finally responds.

"It's complicated. This conversation stays in this room, got it?" I run my hand through my hair and sigh. Everyone else nods their head slowly and we move on with the party. We played some pool, watched some action movies, and had a barbecue. It was actually really nice spending time with all of them again. Rogers and I didn't speak after that.
