"Happy look at me and ask me if I care?"
The man looked at Camille and moved out of the way.
Camille walked through the doors her laptop in her hand as she entered the meeting room.
"Oh, wonderful your here." Camille could feel the sarcasm from where she stood, but only smiled.
"Wonderful seeing you Pepper got that Hiv test back yet?"
Charles spit out his burbon as the red head embarrassedly walked out. Tony rubbed his temples.
Charles grinned."Oh im glad you're back from your vacation Tony made it seem so long."
She tilted her head as her eyes lidded."Oh he did, did he?" Charles leaned back and smirked.
"How about you come work for me sometime?"
Camille only smiled a bit her lip."Oh honey." Tony sat back and watched, his own cup of alcohol at his hand.
"I'm to expensive for you." The man paled before nodding at the harsh letdown.
"Well the meetings over anyway contact me if you change your mind." The man then got up leaving the glass where he sat.
When the door shut I glared at Tony."Pepper seemed happy when I came in."
Tony rolled his eyes."Don't do that." I bit the inside of my cheek."What seems like you actually talk to her."
He scoffed."Don't act like you don't know what you did."
I looked away feeling my guilt boil over."You know it wasn't purposefully I take you and this job very seriously."
Tony got up and I back away. He only looked at me with anger.
"You know that out of everything I've ever leaned on this is not one of them. Now you tell me straight were you starving yourself?"
I looked at him straight faced."I was I thought I wasn't good enough."
He licked his lips before looking at me calculatingly. "You lied to me." I felt my own anger rise.
"Why wouldn't I? How could I stress you out much less anyone else!"
I walked forwards. "I take care of everyone, but what about me?! Who's taking care of me! I'm alone and your making it about you."
He stared at me. Almost like he hated me."Your right, im making it about me."
I felt my own body tense as I looked at him bewildered. "W-what?" He blinked."How else would I get you to understand to stop?"
I felt my mouth go dry. He was right. I would never process my own hurt.
Only others. If he was hurt over my actions I would stop. Even before I really did damage. I knew how he would react.
With that he took me by surprise and stepped forwards grabbing my hands.
"I know you've stopped, but I need you to understand that it makes me upset and I won't talk to you."
I felt my own panic set in. I hadn't ever gotten attached to Tony.
Not passed work, but now I felt everything I've held back shoot out like water from a broken dam.
