Chapeter 18

We where about to get into the car when a woman yelled out for Tony asking for a minute "Christine Everhart.Vanity Fair magazine" she said "I only want a minute or maybe an hour" she winked at him "you got a minute. go" he told her seriously "you've been called the da Vinci of our time. what do you say to that she asked holding up a recorder "absolutely ridiculous. I don't paint." he told her squeezing my hand " and what do you say to your other nickname. The merchant of death?" She asked him "that actually not that bad" I said and he smiled at me "she's right. let me guess. Berkeley?" He asked her "brown actually" she told us as she rolled her eyes at me " well Ms. Brown, Instant in perfect world but it's the only one we've got. I guarantee you today weapons are no longer needed to keep the peace, i'll start making bricks and beams for baby hospitals." he told her kinda harshly, guess he saw that eye roll "rehearse that much?" She asked him glaring at him "every night in front of the mirror before bedtime" he said and happy chucked "I can see that, wan to show me first hand?" She asked him "nope" he said "all I want is a serious answer" she said suddenly serious "okay you're serious. My old man had a philosophy, peace means having a bigger stick than the other guy." he told her putting an arm around me shoulders pulling me close "that's a great line coming from the guy selling the sticks" she said sarcastically "my father help defeat the Nazis, he worked on the Manhattan project, Lot of people including your professors at Brown, call that being hero." he told her "and a lot of people would call that war profiteering" she said smiling at him "tell me do you plan to report on the millions we've saved by advertising medical technology or kept from starvation with out intelli-crops? All those breakthrough military funding" he told her harshly "you ever lose an hour of sleep your whole life?" She asked him, he looked at me and pulled me away from her "I'd be prepared to lose a few with you" he said pulling me close "good cause I was hoping you would want a little more then an hour I said winking then got into the car " dame she is good" he said following me "that's not what I meant" the reporter said as he closed the car door "you sure tonight?" He asked me and I straddled him and kissed him "what do you think?" I asked as I pulled back for air "home happy!" He yelled causing me to laughed we got to his house and things for hot quickly. I woke up to Tony getting up "your late" I laughed and got his shirt from last night.
