Lost Romance // Tony Stark

Part 17

Clarissa spent most of her time with Tony.. Miss Taylor didn't get a look in.. she really struggled to speak to Tony about anything ..not without his little lapdog by his side..

Miss Taylor tried to spend most of her days in the office.. whilst Tony was at home.. if she needed him.. she would send him emails for anything important.. she couldn't face that charade any longer... she kept herself busy.. soon her feelings for Tony were slowly disappearing.. the less she saw of him.. the less it hurt..

"Miss Taylor.. I've brought your coffee.." a voice called from the office door.. "Here you go.."

"Thank you.." she smiled.. "But I keep telling you Chris.. you don't have to make my coffee.. it's not your job.."

"No.. I know but.. it's the least I can do.."

"Well thank you.. again.." she smiled at Chris once more as he approached her.. placing the small cup on her desk carefully..  "I really do appreciate it.."

"It's my pleasure.. is there anything else I can help you with?" He asked, placing his hands in his pockets.. she gave a good look at the young, handsome man that stood beside her.. he was different to Tony.. a little taller.. younger obviously.. he had beautiful blue eyes.. with very fair hair.. his chest was toned.. that she could tell from the fitted shirt he wore.. he spoke with a deep and strong New York accent..

"Erm.. actually yes.." Miss Taylor thought it over quickly.. "Could you perhaps take these down to the finance department.. I need them to be looked over.. and signed off before I give the go ahead.."

"Shouldn't Mr Stark be taking care of this sorta stuff?" He asks, taking the files from her hands.

"It's not the sort of stuff I need Mr Starks approval for.. I can deal with it.. besides.. Mr Stark is a little busy right now.."

"Oh.." Chris smirks.. "I heard.."

"You did?"

"Yeah.. sadly I wasn't invited to the firefighters fund but.. I was told about who he showed up with.."

"Oh?" Miss Taylor responds with a slight confused tone.. "What do you mean by that?"

"I'm just saying.. Tony Stark may have finally.. met his match with Clarissa.."

"Is that right.." Miss Taylor questions and Chris makes sure he says no more that could cost him his job.. but it does get her thinking.. maybe she needs to look a little more into this Clarissa.. just exactly who has Tony got himself involved with.. and should she be worried about it?

"I'll get these down to finance now for you Miss Taylor.." Chris comments breaking into her thoughts..

"Thanks Chris.. and thanks for the coffee.." Miss Taylor lifts the cup up before taking a sip.. Chris makes his way to door before suddenly stopping before opening it.. he slowly turns back.. and finds some sort of courage..

"Hey.. uh.. do you fancy getting lunch together sometime? My treat?"

"What?" Miss Taylor chuckles a little but when she realises he's serious she's a little taken back.. not by the question but.. why would he be interested..

"You don't have to.. just a thought.."

"I'd love to.. how about today?" She responds, and his face lights up.. "Say.. about 1pm?"

"Sounds perfect! I'll see you out front?!"

"Sure!" Miss Taylor noticed how made up her is by that.. and it makes her smile a little wider..

"It's a date!" He beamed.. his eyes sparkling even from this distance.. maybe it's time for Miss Taylor to do something different.. to have some fun.. if Tony can do it.. why can't she?  Chris seems like a nice guy.. plus he's young.. and handsome.. and those eyes.. Miss Taylor found herself daydreaming about this young guy that had seemed rather determined to get close to her..
