Last Christmas

Day 5

Tony had spent the evening at the pub. He got drunk out of his mind, and ended up having yet another one night stand wake up in his bed in the morning. He had a splitting headache, and he couldn't remember much about the night or how much he had had.

He quickly got the woman put of his house before Pepper arrived. She was alway's disapproving of Tony's tendancey to throw his one night stands out the next morning, and she definitely didn't want to be there when they were leaving, but their sickly sweet sent was always left behind.

She knocked on the door, and Tony answered in is night gown. She gave him a disapproving glare, and talked him through the paper work she was carrying. To say Tony didn't really care was an understatement, he was paying her to do the work, he didn't need know about it. he trusted her with the company he trusted her with his life, he just felt like these civil meetings were a mere waste of time.

----

Never the less he made his way to work an hour later. He went into 2 boring meetings, and couldn't wait to get out of there.

As soon as the day came to an end, He rushed out of the office and walked down the road to the café. He couldn't help himself from looking out of the window to see if he could see you, and to his luck- he did.

He quickly gulped down his piping hot coffee, payed and went outside to see you. He stood slightly to the side of the street, and as soon as you saw him, you jumped off your bike and went over to see him.

"you again." you smiled happily.

"yeah me again, I never got your name. stranger."

" (y/n)"

"tony"

"so," you said, walking next to him. " are you stalking me now."

"w what no. of of course not." he stuttered, "w what made y you think that?" he tried to style it out, but it didn't work, you were not stupid. It made you smile. He smiled down at you, and you had your head down, a piece of hair fell out of place and fell in front of your eyes, blocking your view of tony.

"really, so you just happen to be every where. You bump into me while I was out of the area, 'on a business trip' then I meet you for the third time out here." you said, looking up to meet his eyes.

He blushed slightly, but quickly recomposed himself. "I told you. It was an important business meeting, and if anything, it would be you following me." he held hi head a little bit higher, and reached inot his pocket to put his glasses on.

"why do you wear sunglasses in the middle of December, im not sure if you have noticed or not, bit it definitely isn't sunny." you raised an eyebrow, and he seemed to lower his head a little again.

"normally so it isn't so obvious when im drunk or hungover. But im sure it work just as well when I erm, when Im asked annoying questions by virtual strangers on the street."

You smiled, "im not a stranger, you know my name." you said. still smirking.

"true."
