today was tony's annual benefit for the firefighters family fund and i was running around like a goose with my head cut off trying to get myself ready.

i was currently in my room getting my hair done by my stylist, my nail tech had already came and did my nails so i was good on that.

when my stylist finished my hair i paid her and thanked her for coming in last minute.

with no help at all i was able to get my dress on, with little to no struggle which was great.

obadiah told me that tony wasn't coming so i didn't bother to tell him that i was leaving, i walked out of my room and walk downstairs carefully so i don't fall.

i walk out of the house and walk to the limo that obadiah set us up to ride in, i got in and sat across from him and he smiled at me which creeped me out.

"miss y/l/n isn't that dress too revealing" he asks and i roll my eyes "and isn't your head a little too shiny, might wanna cut down on the head moisturizer you might blind someone" i clap back and his smile falls.

the rest of the ride is spent in silence, i look at my phone and answer emails as usual.

when we arrive at the event i get out and walk into the carpet and take a couple of pictures before walking into the building. immediately people come up to me and ask questions about how tony is and when he'll be back.

i was working on my suit with jarvis when i saw my charity event was going on and i wasn't invited. i finished talking to jarvis about the colors i wanted my suit to be and went to get ready.

after a shower and a wardrobe change i made my way to the event.

when i got there valet took my car and i talked with obadiah for a minute before going into the building. i immediately walk to the bar and ask for a scotch.

"mr. stark" i look over and see a man "yeah" i ask "agent coulson" he says and i recognize him "oh yeah that guy from the..." i trail off "strategic homeland intervention enforcements and logistics division" he finished and i nods "you really need to get a new name for that" i say and he nods "i hear that a lot" he says as i take a sip of my scotch "listen i know this must be a hard time for you but we need to debrief you, there's still a lot of unanswered questions and time can be a factor with these things" he says and i nod.

i look out into the crowd and see y/n talking to guests and i'm speechless, she looks so gorgeous. i finish my conversation with agent coulson before walking over to y/n.

"you look fantastic, i didn't recognize you" i hear from behind me, i turn around and see tony dressed in a suit.

"what are you doing here" i ask him shocked "just avoiding government agents" he states "are you by yourself" i ask "yes" he responds "where'd you get that dress" he asks "i don't know it was a gift" i say and he nods "you want to dance" he asks and my smile drops "oh uhm no thank you" i say "all right come on" he says grabbing my arm leading me to the dance floor.

when we get to the dance floor he pulls me into him and sways with me to the music "am i making you uncomfortable" he asks looking me in my eyes and i smile "no i'm just a little nervous dancing with my boss in front of everyone i work with in a skin tight dress" i admit and he raises his eyebrows "well you look great" he compliments and i smile "i could fire you if that would make things better" he says and i laugh "i don't think you would last a day without me"  i state "i'd make it a week" he argues "really, what's your social security number" i ask and he stiffens and i laugh "five" he says and i giggle "you're missing a couple of numbers" i say "the other eight" he states and i laugh "so i have you for the other eight" he says looking at me.

we look into each other's eyes for a while, the tension starts to get thick so i look away from him and over his shoulder. i look back at him and his eyes are still on me "how about a little air" he suggests "yes i could use some air" i admit.

he grabs my hand and we walk away from the party and onto the roof where tony and i talk alone "that was weird" i admit "it was harmless" tony states and i looks at him "it wasn't harmless tony" i argue "we're dancing no ones even watching" he states "i think you lost objectivity i think they just... people... we just danced" he says and i nod.

"no tony, it wasn't just a dance, you don't understand because you're you and everyone know who tony stark is and your reputation with girls and all of that shit which if completely fine but you know there's me and you're my boss..."admit "i don't think it was taken that way" he said "no because it makes me look i'm trying to..." i start and he cuts me off "i just think you're overstating it" he says and i let out a sigh.

he leans in and i lean in, i look into his eyes and he looks into mine. our lips are inches apart and i pull away "i wound like a drink, don julio or even patron just something with tequila" i says and he nods walking away.

i turn around and look at the view of the city, it absolutely gorgeous. i think about how all of this time i've worked for tony that i have never come to terms with my feelings for him, i worked my ass off for this job and i'm not about to let my feelings for him ruin it.

i don't realize how much time had gone by when i saw people leave the party from the roof, i then realize that tony never came back like he said he would.
