I Don't Care | Tony Stark ~ wrong number

Chapter 30

"Do you want us to walk you to your first class kid?" Tony asked Peter after he finished organizing his locker.

The parents and kids in the hallway were still gawking at the three of them.

"No, I'm alright. I have to meet up with Ned and MJ. Bye!" He wrapped his arms around the both of them tightly and squeezed his eyes shut. "Thank you so much for dropping me off at school. You don't know how much that means to me."

He let go and looked at them with a huge smile.

"Love you, bye mom, bye dad."

He turned around then froze at realizing what he said.

He quickly turned with a wide eyed expression.

" I am so sorry. I did not mean-"

"Yes you did. Bye son. We love you too." Alana hugged him one more time and Tony ruffled his hair.

She let go, gave him a little wave and she and Tony walked away.

"Best day ever." They heard him whisper and Alana's heart fluttered in happiness.

She grabbed Tony's hand in excitement and he gave hers a squeeze, telling her that he heard it too.

"Let's go get something to eat." Tony said, and in her state of happiness, she nodded.

He went through the drive through of Burger King and ordered the food. When he paid and got it at the window, he parked at the parking lot.

For him, it doesn't matter what time of day it is, burgers all the way.

"Tony..."

"You agreed."

"Just a few bites, okay?" She said and grabbed the burger he handed her.

"I'd rather you eat at least just over half and a few fries. I got you a cheeseburger. There's nothing but cheese and patty."

She looked at him and then down at the burger and sighed.

"Okay, only because we agreed to help each other out, but for the record, this isn't healthy."

"Potato potato." He made a pft sound, waved his hand and took a bite of his food. Alana also took a bite of food.

The amount of food she was eating was definitely at the back of her mind, but she was more focused on Tony and the conversations they were having. About how beautiful he looked with the sun shining on him.

"What? Why are you looking at me like that?" He asked, feeling warm inside with the look of adoration she had in her eyes. How was she so beautiful?

He was so lucky that the women he was falling for turned out to be Alana. She is such a wonderful human being.

"Nothing, I just..." she sat facing forward in her seat then turned her head slightly so she was looking at him. She threw caution to the wind and decided on just telling him. "I just think you're really beautiful."

"Wooow." He dreamily said and put his head back on the head rest. "You think I'm beautiful?" 

He also turned his head to look at her and a small smiled played on his lips when he saw her blushing.

"I-I mean...yeah?" She got shy and turned her face away.

Tony leaned forward and gently turned her face towards his.

"That's the best compliment I've ever received. Thank you sweetheart."

"Really?" Her eyes lit up. "Then I'll keep saying it you because you are."

Her smile was the most comforting thing he's ever felt.

"But, I think someone is even more beautiful and deserves this compliment way more than anyone else." He somewhat whispered and leaned slightly closer in.

"Really? Who is it? Let's go tell them." Her smile stretched even wider at the thought of making someone else feel nice.

"I'll just tell her right now. Phi, I think you're the most beautiful thing to ever walk on this planet."

"Oh."

He brought his face even closer they were just a few centimeters apart but he waited for her to give him permission to continue, and when she nudged her nose with his, he closed the distance between their lips in a sweet slow kiss.

"I want to take you out on a date." He softly said when they pulled back, they were still close to each other that his lips brushed against hers.

"Okay." She connected their lips again and brought a hand up to his hair. "You have surprisingly soft hair." She giggle and he smiled.

"What, did you think I have straw for hair?"

"No, it's just fluffier than expected."

"Of course it's fluffy. I take good care of my hair. Was it not as fluffy the last time you touched it?" He grinned and she shook her head in amusement.

"It was, I just didn't tell you."

After putting all the wrappers in the big bag, Tony got out of the car and threw it away in a garbage nearby.

"Where do you want to go?" He asked once he was in the car again.

"My agent just sent me an email with my entire schedule till March. So I'd like to go home to review it and get ready. Because I'm pretty sure I have an interview soon and I have to officially announce my tour. Peters account doesn't count."

"Sure. By the way, can you work with noise going  around you? Or do you need a quiet space?"

She scrunched her brows at the question and thought about it for a second.

"Depends on what type of work. If I'm recording me music and writing song ideas down, a quiet environment and a studio would be ideal. Writing and checking emails can be done with noise around me, but not like, a jackhammer."

"Got it. J." He called to his AI

"Jarvis is in the car?" Alana excitedly said.

"No, he's in my glasses." He tapped his glasses and got a little flustered when she beamed at him.

"That's the most amazing thing I've ever heard. I can't believe you got him in your glasse-that is so cool. Tony, this is amazing. Your work is phenomenal."

He rubbed his nose in a smug way, his cheeks painted slightly pink.

"I know right. It's pretty cool."

They grinned at each other  and he couldn't remember ever feeling so proud of his work.

He's always been able to get stuff done. All the time. And everyone's gotten used to the crazy things he could come up with. Having being told that it is the most amazing thing to have something as simple as putting his AI in his glasses really had him sit back to think about things. About how he's made it so far from that cave all those years ago. How he's surrounded by people that care and will go look for him if that ever happens again.

"Come on. I'll take you to the tower." He took her hand and intertwined their fingers. "I have a surprise for you."
