You slammed your car door and caught your reflection in the window. Your eyes were puffy and red, eye-liner smudged from crying.

"You piece of shit!" You cussed to your reflection.

You ran up the driveway to Tony's apartment and slammed your fist on the door almost putting a hole in it.

The door slowly opened and Tony was rubbing his sleepy eyes confused. He was shirtless wearing a pair of black jeans. He quickly noticed you had been crying and a worried expression appeared on his face.

"What's wrong? What happened?" He demanded, his hands reaching for your face.

He wiped the tears from under your eyes and held your face gently in his big hands. Your stomach flipped with his touch.

"What's wrong?"

"Mike dumped me!" You screamed and started crying again.

Tony didn't say anything, he pulled you into his body resting his chin on your head and you wrapped your arms around his waist, placing your cheek on his bare chest. You really needed a hug right now.

Tony pulled you inside without letting you go and kicked the door closed.

"What happened?" His smooth voice rang in your ear.

"I don't know." You sobbed. "I went over there and he sat me down and said he had been thinking for a long time it wasn't feeling right. Fucking asshole!" You screamed. "It felt right whenever he wanted to fuck me, or when he needed me to pick him up from a night out. Or when we wanted to get a puppy!"

"You and me can get a puppy if you want." Tony tried to help.

You shook your head.

"Can you put Star Wars on?" You sobbed quietly.

"Of course." He said letting you go slightly to look at your face. "Which one?"

"Return of the Jedi obviously." You smiled a little bit.

"Is that a smile I see?" Tony teased and you got slightly mad.

"Fuck off." You frowned.

He smiled and shook his head whilst walking over to his TV. You went into the kitchen and pulled the bottle of Vodka from the shelf pouring half a glass and then adding lemonade to the top.

"I'll have what your having." Tony yelled.

"It's Vodka." You yelled back.

"Change my mind. Whiskey please."

After pouring Tony's drink you downed yours and made another and walked back into the lounge room.

"I just give up!" You cried loudly. "I'm done with men and love and all that stupid fucking shit. I hate it!" You screamed even louder and threw yourself onto Tony's sofa. Tony was of course the only exception. You would forever be in love with him. "I hate him. How could he does this? Fuck!"

Tony walked over and wrapped his arms around you.

"He's an idiot. A fucking dickhead but don't blame yourself."

"How can I not?" You screamed again. "He's perfect and I'm a sack of potatoes."

"You're more than a sack of potatoes. You are wonderful." Tony urged holding you tighter.

"Then why did he break up with me Tone? Tell me that. If I'm so god damn fucking wonderful why did he dump me?"

"Because he's a fucking sack of potatoes."

"I'm never falling on love again! Why should I? No one will ever fall in love with me, I'll never have a happy ending."

Your face was bright red and tears started to stream down your face. You rubbed your swollen eyes and crossed your arms.

"That's not true." Tony said taking a deep breath.

Tony sat there at you with what looked like pain in his eyes and a slight frown.

"I love you." He breathed, his voice shaking. He averted eye contact.

Did he just say he loved me? What does that even mean? You took a big mouthful of your drink.

"What?" You questioned in disbelief.

He bit his lip and then looked you in the eye.

"I love you. I am in love with you." He told you.

Oh no. Your heart was pounding, you didn't know what to do or what to say. This wasn't something you had ever planned. Shit, fuck, balls! You finished your drink and got up to get another.

As you walked into the kitchen you let out a breath you hadn't realised you were holding and put your hand to your chest.

You heard Tony cuss in the lounge room.

What are you going to say? Am I dreaming? You put your glass down and walked straight out to the lounge room. Tony was standing up facing you. You walked straight up to him and without missing a beat, grabbed his face and pressed your lips to his. his arms wrapped around your waist and you gently broke the kiss.

"I love you too Tone. Always have always will." You whispered and he kissed you again.
