not swimming today

Pepper's eyes flickered open, taking in her surroundings. She woke up because she heard some light snoring coming from her left and felt an arm around her waist. She turned and saw a sleeping Tony next to her, naked. Her eyes went wide. Everything that happened the night before was a blur but when Pepper looked under the covers, she realized what had happened.

She had sex with Tony for the first time. Suddenly, the night came back to her in waves. The arguing. The love declarations. Him taking two big steps and instantly his lips were on hers. Kissing her like there was no tomorrow. They made their way to the elevator and in seconds, they were on the bed. Pepper started feeling butterflies as she remembered the night before. She turned to wake Tony but, she remembered that his bi-annual pool party was today. She audibly groaned.

"Crap", she muttered. She slowly lifted his arm from her waist and slipped out of the bed. She scurried around the room, searching for her clothes scattered around the floor. She went into the bathroom and put her clothes on.

Pepper walked out of the bathroom and turned to Tony, one last time before she went to her apartment to get ready. She wasn't sure what they were yet, but she promised herself she will talk to him after the party.

A couple of hours later, Tony felt an absence on the right side of the bed. Tony blinked his eyes open, adjusting to the light from the windows. "Ugh, Jarvis. Adjust the lights, please", Tony said. The lights in the room dimmed and the curtains closed a bit, but still leaving a little light to come through. "Sir, I am to remind you that your bi-annual Stark Pool Party is today. The caterers are here and are setting up in the kitchen. I was to inform you by Ms. Potts that she left to get ready for the party and she will be back in 30 minutes", the AI informed him. Tony flipped over and smiled at the ceiling upon hearing Pepper's name.

He could not believe what happened last night. He was happy, of course. Over the moon. Tony sat up and asked his AI, "Hey, J. When do the guests start arriving?"

"Should be in about an hour, sir".

"Thanks, J".

"Always a pleasure to serve, sir. And if I may add my congratulations to your coupling with Ms. Potts."

Tony smiled and looked up to the ceiling. "Jarvis. We haven't made it official yet. But thanks".

"Well, it seems as if you two made it official last night", Jarvis replied.

"Are you kidding me? I thought we were having a nice moment. You had to get sarcastic with me, huh?", Tony said as he got out of bed and started putting his clothes on.

"Sir, do I have to remind you that you made me this way", Jarvis asked him.

"Yeah, yeah."

Tony searched for his swim trunks in his drawers and went into the bathroom. He put the lights on and turned to look in the mirror. Tony jumped and gasped as what he saw in the mirror. His eyes went wide, then he started to smirk, then his eyes went wide again. He put his swim trunks on and went back into his bedroom to look for a long sleeve shirt. He put it on and walked downstairs to start hosting his pool party.

Pepper walked in with a t-shirt and jean shorts on. Her swimsuit on underneath just in case Tony is up to his shenanigans and pushes her into the pool like last year. She walked up to the kitchen and spoke with the caterers, discussing the food preparations for the party. Guests had already started arriving about 15 minutes ago.

Pepper made her way outside by the pool and spotted an investor that she has been close to closing a deal with on Tony's behalf. "I guess I'll close the deal while I'm here anyway", Pepper thought to herself as she walked over to the man in a tank top and shorts to close that deal.
