Something like love | Peter Parker

17

Happy came and picked us up in a limo this time instead of the usual Subaru. When we got to the car Peter held the door open for me and I sat down, Peter slid in after me and closed the door.

"Hey Adeline! And Peter... apparently...?" Happy's expression dropped as soon as he saw Peter. It was obvious he didn't like Peter.

"Yeah he's gonna come over. Is that cool?"

"I don't have a problem with that but your dad might"

"He's at a press event with Pepper and Rhodey so it'll be fine"

"Oh, I didn't know about that." Happy looked upset that he didn't know about the event "I guess that's fine then now, I will be there the whole time to monitor you two" His stern expression returned.

"Okay Happy" Happy closed the division between him and us.

"Why does he need to monitor us?"

"Oh, uh don't mind him. Just Happy being overprotective."

"Oh, okay."

*back at the compound*

Peter and I got out of the car and walked up to my room. We decided to watch the movie Nomadland.

About halfway through the movie I went downstairs for some water for the two of us.

I walked down to see Happy sitting at the kitchen island, reading the newspaper.

"Hey"

"What's going on up there?"

"Nothing we're just watching a movie"

"Are you watching a movie or are you watching a movie" he winked

"What? Oh Happy what no Jesus! God! What is it with you and my dad?"

"So you two aren't cafoodleing?" He furrowed his brow and took the reading glasses off of the bridge of his nose.

"Oh god not you too" I grabbed two bottles of water from the fridge and got out of there as soon as I could.

I gave Peter his water and we finished the movie.

A little while after the movie ended Happy drove Peter home.

There was only one week until the dance and I didn't have a dress or shoes yet. I called Pepper Potts, my dads girlfriend to ask her if she could take me shopping.

The line rang.

"Hello?"

"Hey Pepper! It's Adeline"

"Hey! What's up?"

"So I have a school dance coming up soon and I was wondering if you could take me to get a dress and some shoes?"

"Of course!! I'd love too! What time?"

"Does now work for you?"

"Yes that works! Do you want me to come pick you up?"

"Yeah that'd be great! Thanks so much"

"I'll see you soon!"

"Okay. Bye." I hung up.

I never got the chance to meet my mom, so ever since my dad hired Pepper, when I was 8, she's been a mother figure for me.

I was so excited when my dad and her got together, and eventually got married. I got to be the maid of honor.

Pepper came to pick me up about half an hour later.

She honked the horn to let me know she'd arrived and I ran out.
