First Ironman fanfic I've written. Enjoy and review!
Disclaimer: I don't own Ironman or Olive Garden
Pepper Potts was waiting for him in the car. "Sorry I'm late Pep! The idiotic press people wouldn't let me leave," Tony said giving her a kiss on the cheek.
"Well that's a load of bull," Pepper whispered keeping her eyes locked on her black berry. "We both know you just wanted them to take your picture a few more times." She looked up then to grin at him; to let him know she wasn't really mad.
Tony grinned his mischievous grin. "Looks like I've been caught. Well Potts what's next on my all ready to crowded agenda?"
Pepper glanced again at her black berry. "Huh that's odd."
"What is it?" Tony asked as Happy Hogan drove them around the parking lot of the expo waiting for instructions.
"Your schedule is completely blank but this morning it was full." Pepper frowned fumbling with her phone.
"Oh? Does this mean I have some free time with my favorite co -CEO?" Tony asked suggestively.
"I'm your only co-CEO Tony," Pepper smirked. "And I suppose it does. What do you want to do?"
"Hmm that's a tough one Potts—Oh I know lets go to that place you're always raving about! What was it called again? The Ollie Grover?"
Rolling her eyes Pepper replied, "It's called the Olive Garden, Tony."
"I'm pretty sure that's what I said. Alright let's go there!" Tony sat forward and said, "Happy, please take us to the closest Olive Garden."
"Yes sir Mr. Stark." The ride wasn't long and soon Pepper and Tony were standing infrount of the restaurant.
"Table for two please," Tony told the waiter at the front desk.
"Right this way." They followed the waiter to their table and sat across from each other. "Here are your menus. I will be back in a moment to get your drink orders."
After the waiter was gone Tony said, "I'm really glad we did this."
Pepper smiled. "Me too."
Tony reached across the table and touched her hand. "And to think this never would have happened had your black berry not been so forgetful."
"I guess it's okay to be forgetful… on occasion." Pepper allowed.
"Are you ready to order your drinks?" The waiter had returned.
Reclining back in his chair Tony answered. "I'll have water please." This caused Pepper to cock an eye brow. Tony never ordered water.
"And for you miss?"
Pepper, never taking her eyes off Tony, replied, "Same."
The waiter nodded and left. "Water Tony?" Pepper narrowed her eyes. "Are you dying and not telling me again or something?"
"Don't be silly Pepper," Tony said looking at the menu. "I just like be sober…on occasion. Especially when that occasion is with my favorite co-CEO."
"Well that's a new one and also very flattering." Pepper returned her eyes to her menu. "I think I'll order something with shrimp."
"I think I'll order something with steak." Tony licked his lips, "I do love my meaty pastas." After the meal was over Tony and Pepper walked outside to wait for Happy to pick them up. "You know Potts it is such a nice day…why don't we take a walk?"
Pepper blinked. "A walk? Okay who are you and what have you done to Tony Stark?"
Tony rolled his eyes. "Do you want to go on a walk or not? I could call Happy—,"
Cutting him off Pepper said, "No! I like walks especially when they're with my favorite co-CEO."
Smiling victoriously Tony slung one arm around Pepper and steered her toward the park. The park was practically empty except for a few people here and there. "What a beautiful day! Wouldn't you agree Pep?"
Pepper sighed contently, "Yes, it has been a very nice day." Tony stopped walking abruptly. "What's wrong Stark?" She asked looking up.
"I have a confession," He replied stepping away from her.
"What is it?"
Looking down at his shoes with shame he said, "I deleted the schedule from your black berry so we could spend the day together."
"Yeah I know." Pepper smiled and shrugged.
Tony's eyebrows shot up. "Wait you knew? When?"
"Right away. I pretended I didn't know because I really love…" She trailed off turning red on the cheeks.
"You really love what Potts?"
"Olive Garden. Yes I really love Olive Garden."
Shaking his head Tony retorted, "But if you knew about it right away then you would have know about it before I suggested Olive Garden which means you were about to say something else or someone else you love. Well Pepper what is it you really love?"
Pepper's face turned bright red. "Um maybe you should call Happy now." She mumbled.
"Aww and we were having such a nice time. Well I suppose I'll have to go first if you're too chicken to say it…I love you Pepper Potts and I think I always have."
"I love you too Tony Stark." Then they kissed in the park in the middle of a Tuesday afternoon. After they broke apart Pepper asked. "Well what do you want to do now?"
Tony's smile widened. "Wanna get married?"
So if you love it or hate or like or dislike please review! Please tell me if you want this to continue b/c I'm thinking it might just be a one shot but idk…R&R!
