((Alright, first fic I've ever posted online, EVER. First Iron Man fic as well. This is chapter one and more should be coming soon. Please no flaming and I don't own any part of the Marvel Universe or Iron Man movie-verse or the song that inspired the title. ;) think that covers everything))

Chapter One: It's Just an "Ordinary" Day

The rain pattered outside the tall glass door to the balcony. The grey-blue clouds shifted and parted about the sky. Pepper sighed as she stared out from the bed at the deluge. She pushed some of her reddish-blonde hair out of her vision as it fell onto her face. She looked down at her ankle which found itself wrapped in a cast. Why did she do it? She pondered this as she continued to look at her bused ankle. Working for Tony Stark was quite the endeavor.

Pepper had started out the day as she always did: filing paper work, making phone calls, making her boss happy (within reason), a busy normal day. But with Tony, things were always difficult. Today she was in charge of organizing Stark industry's Investor Dinner which meant a million things had to be done. Multi-tasking was one of Pepper's talents, and she got to it right away. She was sitting on Tony's coach in his living room (as she often did while working) staring at the computer screen in her lap, typing away as she answered her blackberry. She had an office now but, she had been in there all morning and needed a change in scenery.

She was on an important phone call with Mr. Trump when Tony walked in. Pepper didn't look up to acknowledge him but, she was well aware of his presence. With an ego like Tony's, who wouldn't notice? He hardly had to do anything to announce himself.

"Miss Potts, I'm having a few people over, I'll be down by the pool." He announced and then promptly left the room going outside and down stairs.

"Yes, right sir." She was answering Mr. Trump on the phone as she looked over at Tony. She knew he had said something, but she was taking awhile to process it. After all, she was talking on the phone, and typing, and chatting with the chief online about what would be served at the dinner. As he walked away she bit her lip, "Where is he going?" she wondered.

An hour later Pepper had finished four business calls, had typed up investing forms for the dinner and had gotten most of the menu items selected. It was then she finally looked up from her work. She could hear loud music coming from outside...

Virginia (Pepper) got up from the coach, setting her laptop aside, to look out the window. Her eyes widen at what she saw. It wasn't very shocking just, something that should not be happening. "Jarvis…what's going on?" She asked the A.I.

"I believe Mr. Stark is throwing a party." The voice overhead chimed. There indeed was a large party going on, in and around the pool.

"Tony…" she sighed in disapproval.

"Mr. Stark did inform you about this while you were on the phone about 65.12 minutes-"

Pepper shook her head, "shut up Jarvis." She slipped her phone into her pocket and headed out and down the stairs.
