Falling In Love With The Billionaire's Son

Chapter Thirteen

Chapter Thirteen

Sunday night, Steve was even more confused than he'd been that afternoon. Tony's relationship status on Facebook was 'It's complicated'. How was it complicated? Pepper dumped him, that's not complicated. Steve wondered if he meant his and Steve's relationship. That would be so perfect, if he actually wanted to date him. Steve had never dated anyone before. Dating would be so amazing and awesome and perfect and it would be with Tony.

Oh yeah, he forgot about Peggy.

He decided to start chatting with Tony on Facebook.

"I saw your relationship status, it's complicated. How is Pepper breaking up with you complicated?" He typed quickly.

"We aren't totally over, I guess." was Tony's reply.

"Oh. What about us?" Steve was a little disappointed.

"Us? Oh yeah. Um, idk." Tony answered.

"Do you want to date?"

Tony read that and pondered it carefully. Truth was, he actually did. He really liked Steve and he could use a distraction from his mom. But if the school- or his DAD- knew? He could kiss his reputation good-bye forever.

Who said they had to know?

"Yeah, I would. Could we kinda keep it a secret from everyone?" He decided on.

"Okay, that's fine."

"So are we together or something? I guess Pepper and I really are done."

"If you still like her then we don't have to date or anything."

"No, I don't like her like that anymore. I haven't for a while." Tony sent.

"Okay. I guess we are together."

"That's weird, but nice." Tony face-palmed after he sent that. It sounded really stupid.

"Haha. GTG, my uncles home. Want to hang out after school tomorrow?"

"Sure. Bye Steve."

Steve had disconnected. Tony felt pleased with himself. He successfully confirmed a relationship with Steve, getting over the fact that he was a guy. Besides, no one else would ever know. They wouldn't need to know.

Pepper sat at her white desk in her purple room and typed up her invitations for the party she was planning. Maybe all hope wasn't lost, regarding her relationship with Tony. He'd certainly appreciate this.

She decided to simply post the event on her Facebook and invite people through there. It would be easier then emailing everyone.

"Halloween Party at 2831 Downey Drive (AKA, my house.) this Saturday, October 24th! Guests are encouraged to bring money to donate to the hospital in honor of the mayor's wife. Bring friends, but no one not in high school allowed. :)) Starts at 7:00 PM and ends whenever everybody leaves! There will be food and everything. It's a costume party, so wear one. :D" Pepper was satisfied with her description, though she wasn't exactly good at writing invitations.

She knew this party would be great. Everyone loved Pepper's parties, which is why it didn't matter if she wrote good invites or not. Her family had a reputation for being hospitable.

She hesitated on inviting Steve Rogers, but was assured by the 'fact' that Tony only had some weird little crush on him, and would probably come running back to her. Steve was with Peggy anyway.

The week flew by very quickly, and before they knew it, it was Friday.

Natasha had rushed home from school to tell her parents she was going last-minute costume shopping for the party.
