Chapter 19

Two months later

        Tony and I have been together 3 months! It's been seriously amazing! He is the best boyfriend anyone could ask for. And, when our 3 month anniversary came along, he and I went to his house and watched Wanda Vision, a Marvel spinoff series. We even gave each other gifts! I gave him a Captain America shield (An inside joke since he looks like Steve Rodgers) and he gave me the first marvel movie, as well as a Megan Trainer CD. We decided that All The Ways was our song. How romantic!

  After finally getting around to telling Valentina about the kiss, she was so happy for us! She understood that I didn't want to tell the whole fam-damly yet, but said that it "Wasn't wise" to hide a relationship from parents for too long. I am choosing to, respectfully, ignore that advice. But, with Halloween coming up, and Christmas break creeping up on us, it was going to get harder to keep my boyfriend a secret. My birthday was coming up soon, too. On November 30th I turned 17.

          Tony and I where planning on just having a lowkey date on Halloween, since neither one of us where that into the holiday. Then, Jadee convinced us to go with her and Jackson trick-or-treating as "Iconic Couples". We where thinking of being Tony Stark and Pepper Potts, but they weren't really us, So we finally agreed on Steve Rogers and Natasha Romanoff. Jadee loved the idea, so her and Jackson are going as Ant Man and Maggie. I think we will look adorable together! Then, maybe a lowkey date after...

          Down in my vent, I texted Tony and looked at the now collage of photos and notes of the two of us. There where several photos of us kissing each other on the cheek or on the lips. Tony was an amazing artist, so he even drew some pictures of me of us. My diary now consisted mostly of entries about our dates or about school days spent with him. Speaking of which, Tony got into yearbook! He got free tickets to all sorts of games and events, and he always took me with him. His favorite pass time was to "practice" taking pictures on me. Then he always chuckled and kissed me. By now, Jadee had seen us kiss a few times, but we still kept it undercover in public. This town was too small to kiss in public and expect it to be kept a secret from my family. If we wern't related, they where family friends. And being 1 of 5 redheads in the entire town, and only 1 of 2 that where teenagers, I was sure to be caught. But we still kissed, and oh, we kissed. I'd even go as far as to say that we made out on one occasion. And now, he called me "Babe" or "Milady". I called him "Baby" or "My Hero". It was romantic. We went into the forest a lot, and now, it was kinda our place! Now, I had no doubt in me. Tony and I where a thing. Boyfriend and Girlfriend.
