Lost Romance // Tony Stark

Part 13

The following day, there was an awkward tension between the two of them.. and it was known as soon as Miss Taylor arrived at Tony's house that morning.. she arrived to a house in darkness, it was quiet.. she made her way to Tony's bedroom to wake him up but it was empty..confused, she made her way down to his workshop.. where she found him asleep on the couch..

Her lips formed a small smile as how cute he looked.. her heart raced a little when she saw him.. he stirred a little but didn't wake up.. she placed a freshly made coffee on the side next to him.. before she left him to sleep..

When she left the room, Tony peaked an eye open.. and sighed.. he only pretended to be asleep so he didn't have to face the issue.. he looked over to the coffee, and sighed.. before running a hand through his hair.. he needed a shower.. and something to eat.. but he knew if he went upstairs he would have to face her.. He decided to stay down in his workshop a little longer.. he didn't know what to say to her.. or what to do.. it was the first time he felt.. guilty..

After an hour or so, she decided to go and wake him up.. but to her surprise he was already awake and working on something at his work bench.. she hesitated a little if she should approach him or not but Tony heard her footsteps.. and greeted her in a normal manner..

"Miss Taylor.. you're late.."

"Late?!" She frowned.. "I've been here an hour.. I brought you your morning coffee!"

"I know.. I was kidding.." he spun around on his stool to face her.. "But why are you here? You're supposed to be in the office right?"

"I came to do my job as your personal assistant.. you aren't at the office so I came here instead.."

"Right.."

"If you want me to leave.. I will.." she asked, and he thought about it for a second.. but shook his head.. "That's what I thought.."

"Look.. can we talk?"

"About what Mr Stark?"

"Oh stop! Stop with tithe professional manor for one second, please!!" Tony shouted a little.. his frustration beginning to show.. "I've told you many times it's Tony!"

"Sorry.." her eyes lowered a little.. so she didn't meet his.. "What do you want to talk about?"

"Oh come on.." Tony sighed before standing up and moving closer to her.. "You can ignore it all you want but it doesn't change anything.. we kissed.. you told me that we were going to give us ago.. and then.."

"And then you fucked someone else.." she blurts out.. not on purpose.. but it made her feel a little uneasy..

"How did you find out?"

"Seriously? Does it really matter?!" She couldn't believe he'd just asked her that. Tony just wanted to know how she knew, considering she'd left in a taxi.. he was sure of that.

"You left.. you told me to back to the party.. so how did you find out I'd.."

"You really don't know?"

"No I don't! So please just tell me how you found out!?!"

"I saw you Tony.. I came by the next morning.. I really wanted to talk things over when we were both sober.. you were still asleep.. and she.."

"She what?!"

"She was coming out the bathroom.." she tells him with a sigh.. "I didn't see her face but.. her clothes were all over the floor so it was pretty obvious what you two had got up to.."

"It didn't mean anything you know that right?!"

"But it did? It does mean something Tony.." she takes a step away from him and sits down on the couch.. "It means that you and I.. can never ever happen, do you understand that?"
