The consequence ( sequel to the price of love)

Chapter 17

EMMA'S POV

We all waited expectantly on Brittany's floor for six to come.

Finally, we had found an outfit for everyone.

Well, except for Lucy that is.

No one knows where she is.

But everyone's seen Steve so we know she must be resting.

I tugged uncomfortably at the short, knee length black dress and ran my fingers through my hair.

It was 5:58 and we were to meet at 6 on the top floor.

" we should go now." Sophie suggested.

We piled into the elevator and I pressed the top floor button, waiting patiently as it rose up into the air.

Seconds later we arrived and the doors slid open, revealing the blasting music, flashing lights, and , of course, a almost drunken tony in the middle of the dance floor.

I mean, what's a party with a drunk guy?

I giggled to myself as I walked out and straight up to tony.

"Tony calm down alright. No more drinks. It's only just started." I said a soothing voice, taking the bottle of liquor from his hands carefully.

He looked up at me and smirked.

" you look beautiful."

I blushed and looked down.

He grabbed my chin and tilted it upwards, facing him.

" babe? What did I say about hiding your beautiful face?" He said sternly.

I cleared my throat." You said to hide it forever to keep anyone from looking at me?" I smirked teasingly.

He glared playfully and poked my shoulder." No. I said keep your chin up and show the world your beautiful face."

I smiled softly." But, you are my whole world." I whispered.

He blushed.

Wait. Tony Stark blushed.

" your blushing!" I squealed happily, clapping my hands and twirling around.

He face palmed and grabbed my hand, stopping me from moving.

" do you want the whole world to know!" He hissed.

I smirked." Good idea."

I ran up to a nearest microphone and turned it up all the way.

" hey everyone!" I yelled, winking at tony.

" proof that tony has a heart and feelings!! He blushed!" I said with a fake gasp.

Suddenly I was grabbed away from the microphone an pulled back.

" you didn't." Tony muttered.

I grinned an kissed his nose.

" I did."

" I love you." He whispered, kissing me softly.

I kissed back and put my hands around his neck.

" I love you too."

" Emma?" A all too familiar voice called from across the room.

I spun around and gasped.

" what's his name?" I growled to tony.

His eyebrows were raised.

" umm....Adam Hilt..." He squeaked out.

" that..is my brother. What the heck is he doing here?" I hissed.

The man stood awkwardly at the other side of the room.

" I-I was going to tell you." Tony stuttered, trying to reason.

I groaned and face palmed.

" merry Christmas?" He tried, attempting to hug me.

I pulled away and walked briskly to my brother.

" where the heck have you been all these years?" I yelled.

He hasn't changed a bit.

Same old , short, dirty blonde hair and his twinkling ocean blue eyes.

He stuffed his hands in his pockets and gazed around nervously.

" Australia. And it's good to see you too sis." He said quietly.

" why haven't you called? Moms alive. If you haven't noticed. I got kidnapped a couple times, almost died. Got a boyfriend. Why? Why did you leave?"

Adam raised an eyebrow." Boyfriend?"

I shook my head." Not now. Later. Tell me. Now." I demanded, pushing him to the side.

" first of all, for three years I was in foster care. The next year, I was out and I couldn't face you or mom. So I moved to Australia. I got a job, met someone. And apparently your 'boyfriend' over here tracked me down and pulled me over here, demanding that I see you. So I'm here." He shrugged.

I sighed heavily and looked over to tony.

" he did that? For me?" I asked, my voice barely above a whisper.

He nodded.

" some special guy you've got over there."

I grinned and nodded." So I've heard."

He nodded .

" so how long are you staying?" I asked suddenly.

" I guess I'm living in New York now. Myfianceiscomingtolivewithme."

He coughed uncomfortably.

I raised an eyebrow.

" say that again. And slower." I said suspiciously.

He coughed again and looked down.

" my ...um....fiancé is coming to live with me." He whispered.

My eyes widened and I flung my arms around his neck.

" your getting married? We just caught up and now your telling me you got engaged!!" I squealed.

He hugged me back.

" yeah.....when's he gonna make the move?" He asked, gesturing to tony.

" oh. Tony? I don't know. We've only been dating over a year now. "

" bout time he does. " he shrugged.

" you should get back to him. He seems impatient."

I looked at tony and he was staring at us with eagle eyes.

I rolled my own eyes and sighed, hugging him again." I'll see you around. Ok?"

He nodded and kissed me on the head.

" I'm sure."
