Sweetheart (Tony Stark)

NINE

"Ms. Potts speaking how can I help you?" Pepper answered on the other end of the line.

"Pepper hey it's Koharu-'

"Oh my gosh! Koharu are you okay?! I saw on the news what happened I wanted to come over but didn't want you freaked out because I came," she rambled causing Koharu to chuckle.

"Hey I understand I'm okay actually I wanted to call and tell you that your hired with the Stark Industries," she said as she had to pull away when Pepper began squealing with joy until she cleared her throat.

"I'm sorry about that I uhh..... should've waited,"

"No," Koharu dismissed as she giggled. "I'm glad your excited but Pepper I do have to turn serious for a moment,"

"No go ahead I completely understand,"

"If I ever catch you trying to get with Tony in a close way, or if I ever see you and Tony together besides being workmates, not only is Tony getting a divorce but I will make your life so miserable that you'll wish you never took the job in the first place, is that clear Ms. Potts?" She asked as she heard a gulp on the other end of the line.

"Y-Yes I understand I promise you nothing like that will happen, Tony not even my type of guy,"

"Good I will be sending you an email for your background check please fill it out as soon as possible, once it clears I'll give you another call for your start date,"

"Yes ma'am thank you so much again Mrs. Stark,"

"No problem see you soon Ms. Potts,"

Once she hangs up she looked up at the door to see Tony leaning against it smirking before walking over to her.

"Have I told you how hot you sound when your threatening someone?" He asked giving her a peck on the lips.

"Hmmm.... Honestly I think it's the first hon, not working in the lab today?" She asked opening her computer as Tony sat in the bed with her.

"No, I was on the couch watching TV, but then I heard your pretty voice and decided to come here," he said causing her to nod. "Hey honey, how much do you trust me?" Tony asked just after she sent the link to Pepper.

"I trust you with my life why?"

"Then why make a threat like that if you trust me? Why keep saying we're getting a divorce if you trust me?"

"Tony, it's just my insecurities..... Pepper is really pretty and I don't want to be replaced,"

"Replaced? Oh honey I could never replace you do you know that? You and I were meant to be the first moment we laid eyes on each other in diapers, we went from elementary friends, to best friends in middle school, to high school sweethearts, I know everything about you down to your favorite elementary teacher, why would I replace you for some stranger? Believe me when I say your all that I need in my life. Nobody else compares to you," Tony said holding her hand as he looked her in the eyes.

"Tony I-"

"I know sweetie, I know," he said pulling her into a hug as she hugged him back just as much.

"I love you Tony, I really do,"

"And you know I love you 3000 times more, let's go out tonight, we've been too comfortable too long here how about we eat at your favorite restaurant," Tony said causing Koharu to squeal.

"Benihana?!" She squealed as it was her favorite Japanese restaurant.

Tony couldn't help but smile loving how excited she gets. He nodded his head as she clapped her hands together before gasping.

"What should I wear?! Oooh I gotta look fancy!' she squealed getting out of bed heading straight to the closet where all her fancy clothes were.

Tony sat back in the bed a smile never leaving his face as he watched her.

"Okay how about this one?" She asked pulling out a beautiful sparkly blue v neck dress with a white belt wrapped around the middle.

"Hmmm..... How about that sexy black dress I can easily get in your panties too?" Tony suggested causing Koharu to roll her eyes.

"You want everyone seeing my panties? It's that short,"

"No, no, your right nobody gets access to those panties but me,"

"Exactly, so no to the sexy black one," She giggles before pulling out even more dresses to show.
