Tony Stark likes to be rebellious.
He misses meetings, cancels, rescheduals, shows up late, or simply not at all
He lives life in the fast lane, cars, women, and booze, all in excess, not always in good taste.
He's an alcoholic with a taste for flesh and danger, but not the action movie type, more the get-you-locked-up-with-a-woman-named-Mike kind.
He's a genius, and loves to flaunt it whenever he can.
He wants to show the world that he's in control.
Truth is, he's not.
But that's what she's for. She knows his Social Security number, his Driver's information, where the laundry room is, how he likes his sandwiches, and best of all, lots of patience to counter him.
She makes him shower daily, dress decent in suits and ties, trim him goatee, rinse grease from his face.
Not matter what, she makes him want her.
Pepper Potts wants to be rebellious.
Her closet is filled with designer clothes, shoes, and accessories, all made of the finest materials, helping her build a small fortune in her bedroom.
Blacks, whites, blues, browns, greys, in all shades and all materials, line her walls.
Her wardrobe reflex who she is, or seems to be.
Pepper is prim, proper, organized, slightly prudish, professional, punctual, careful and tactful.
She doesn't want to show the world that she's out of control
Real truth is, she is.
That's what he's for. He buys, on a whim, her dream shoes, with their 5 inch heels, glossy finish, and colors such as hot pink, neon yellow and traffic stopping orange.
He flirts constantly, drives her crazy with his impulsive conduct, and pushes her outside her comfort zone at least once every hour.
Despite her frequent nervous breakdowns, he makes her want him.
Someday Tony wants to show her he can be classy; he'll give her that slinky dress he bought and ask her to dinner.
Someday Pepper wants to show Tony that she's not as much of a prude as he thinks; she'll wear her hot pink stilettos and ask him to order in.
Tony wishes someday would come sooner than later.
Pepper's always one step ahead, she knows someday is tonight.
