Last Christmas

Day 4

Tony looked at you like you were an alien. He didn't understand how you were able to survive without a phone.

"have you even seen the world around you first hand, and not just by looking at that screen. " you asked, already knowing the answer.

You took his hand and pulled him doen the road to a small clearing of people, and behind that was a small fountain surrounded by shrubs. There were small fairy lights drapped around the scene, and they illuminated the small area. It was beautiful, and he would never had seen it.

"wow." he said, mouth open agape at the sight. " It's beautiful."

"I know. And I bet you would have never seen it if you were on your phone." you smiled at his amazed expression, he looked happy.

"no. No I don't think I would have. You know I am starting to wish I had accepted our offer of a walk before. It would have cost me a lot less." He held up the dead phone, which still had a few droplets of water falling off of it's surface.

"yes, but you wouldn't have listened. "

He looked down guilty, knowing you were right. And he wished you weren't.

"thank you."

You had parted ways, You went back to your bike to ride home, and he went back to the building where his taxi was waiting for him. He drove to the airport where all of his luggage was already on the jet . He got on and relaxed into the comfortable chair. His thoughts involuntarily going back to you.

When the plane landed he was greeted with the happy smiling faces of his employees. He had since put his glasses back on and walked inside his own company.

As he sat down in his office chair, his phoe in his office rang.

"Tony, I've been trying to contact you all day, why were not you answering your phone?" an anger Pepper shouted down the land line.

"Pep, I was on a business trip and I couldn't answer my phone in the meeting, and then I was outside and dropped it in a puddle. So I couldn't answer it because it doesn't work."

Tony listened as Pepper began ranting on about the business, and his phone and a load of other stuff he completely ignored. He told her about the meeting when she asked, and some questions he couldn't answer because he wasn't paying any attention. She started shouting at him for not paying enough attension to it ,and he got so bored he ended up hanging up on her. He knew it was a bad thig to do, as the last tine he had don that she had threated to quite. And he couldn't afford for her to quite.

He sighed as he swung round in his chair, thinking of you. He didn't know why bt he liked you. Even if you were extremely weird.
