A few days later
Stark Industries
3pm

Kristina is in Tony's office. She's getting folders ready for the meeting Monday morning.
"Got any plans for the weekend, Ms. Ruiz?" She doesn't look at him as she continues.
"As of now, nope."

"Wow. Sounds boring", he states, chuckling. She rolls her eyes.
"Hey. Um, can I ask you something?", she asks finishing up.

"Sure", he says looking at her. She turns her chair to face him.
"On my first day when I didn't answer you & you grabbed my chin. What was that all about?"

"I have no idea what you're talking about." She scoffs.
"Bullshit. I flirted with Happy but you seemed upset." She swallows hard knowing she shouldn't have been so brazen to curse at or in front of her boss. He walks up to her slowly.

"I didn't hear you complain when I did it." She remains seated as he stands in front of her.
"Do I intimidate you?", he asks.
"No."
"Hmm. You sure?", he says bending down. His hot breath hits her face.
"Did it turn you on?" She swallows.

"Maybe it did." He chuckles softly. Inching closer to her face. He whispers, "I think it did. Am I right, good girl?"

She bites her lip & nods.
"Yes."
"Yes, what?", he asks.
"Yes, Mr. Stark." He stares into her eyes. "Everything ok?", Happy asks interrupting them. He pulls away quickly.

"Everything's great. What's up? You're free to go, Ms. Ruiz." She clears her throat & grabs the folders.
"Need some help, Ms. Ruiz?", Happy asks.
"No, thank you. By the way, it's Kristina. No need for Ms. Ruiz all the time", she says smiling.

"You got it. My apologies."

"It's fine. Enjoy your weekend gentlemen." She leaves the room. Looking back, she winks at Happy. She steps in her office, placing the folders in the filing cabinet. She grabs her things & leaves the building. As she locks up her office, her phone rings. She pulls it out of her purse & answers.

"Hey Viev. What's up?" Tony, Happy & Kristina all head for the elevator. They talk about Genevieve's trip for the entire ride down to the lobby. Gossiping & laughing. Once the doors open, they allow her to step out first. Then they all walk out together.

"Girl, yes. We need to go. Alright, well I need to shower & get dressed so we can head out." She opens the door for them.
"Thank you", they both whisper. She smiles in response. Genevieve is parked in front. Kristina sees her & runs up to her. Tony & Happy are watching. They're both gushing & talking at the same time. Genevieve & Kristina see Tony & Happy walking over.

"Tony, Happy. This is my best friend, Genevieve. Viev, this is Happy & ..."

Genevieve interrupts.
"The famous Tony Stark. Nice to meet you both." They shake their hands.
"Wow. You weren't lying when you said he's hotter in person", Genevieve states looking at Kristina. Kristina shoves her. Genevieve chuckles. Tony blushes a bit.

"I appreciate the compliment. Good to meet you, Genevieve. You ladies have a wonderful weekend", Tony says.
"Nice meeting you", Genevieve replies. They walk away.
"I'm so gonna kill you." Genevieve scoffs.

"Oh please. They're both cute. We need to let loose."

They get in their cars & head home. When they arrive twenty minutes later, Kristina goes up to her room & takes a shower. After her shower, Kristina searches her closet for an outfit to wear for her night out. She finds a short spaghetti strap red dress with black heels then gets dressed. She does her makeup & her hair. Genevieve chooses a strapless white dress with sparkly gold heels. Once finished, they meet in the living room, have a few shots & call for Lyft.

The Lyft picks them up fifteen minutes later. Due to a bit of traffic it takes them a bit longer to get there. They arrive at the hottest trending club in nearby Thousand Oaks. The girls head inside. As they walk in they spot the bar & head over. They sit at the bar & order two cosmopolitans. The place is somewhat packed which isn't too bad. Soon, the bartender brings over the drinks. The girls clink glasses & drink up. After some time, they head over to the dancefloor. Swaying to the beat of this week's current hits. This is a much needed night. The besties are back together, living life & having a blast. After dancing to several songs, their feet get tired.

The girls look around & eventually find seats, talk & order drinks

The girls look around & eventually find seats, talk & order drinks. They flirt with a few guys & the guys buy them drinks. Genevieve gives one of them her number. After nearly 3 hours of drinking, dancing & talking, the girls decide to head home. Once they get home, they're still in party mode. So they turn on the stereo & take shots of tequila.
"Girl it's been forever since we hung out. I've missed this! I've missed my bestie", Genevieve says hugging her. They sit on the couch & drink, taking off their shoes.

"Same! I've missed you too."
"So what's up with you & Tony?", Genevieve asks. Kristina looks at her.
"I don't really know. He did catch me flirting with Happy. It seemed like it bothered him." Kristina goes on to tell her everything that's happened so far.
"Seriously? Girl, ya need to let him hit it & quit it", she laughs. She playfully shoves her.
"I want to keep it professional."

"How? The man flirts with you. He knows you like it. Hell, he got mad watching you & Happy flirt. There's something there, Kris. You know it."
"I don't know what to do. That man....ugh, he does something to me. I could literally feel my vag throb when I'm around him. It's literally like I'm doing kegels. But I think Happy is cute too. He's so easy to flirt with."

She takes a shot.
"Shit, do 'em both then." They laugh. Genevieve tells Kristina about her hook-up in Paris & all of her photoshoot stories. Soon, they begin to yawn. The girls decide to head up to their bedrooms.
"Goodnight girl", Genevieve says.
"Night, Viev." Kristina walks into her bedroom & heads straight to the bathroom. As Kristina removes her makeup, her cell dings. She picks it up.

A text from Happy reads: Hey, sorry that I'm texting so late. But I need your measurements, I know that's a weird thing to ask. I swear it's for a good reason.

She chuckles & sends it to him. She throws on some pajamas & jumps into bed. She falls asleep quickly wondering what exactly Happy needed her measurements for.
