So this is just a little something i wrote when i was bored at a conference on friday evening and typed on my ipod while i was sick on saturday. It's been something that's been on my mind since september and i finally had the time to do it. So i hope you enjoy this little drabble. :)
Double Meanings
Have you ever had the answer to something staring you straight in the face and you just didn't see because you had never really stopped to look at all your options, and then it smacked you in the face a little while later. That is exactly what happened to me. In case you don't know already, I'm Anthony Stark. Genius, Billionaire, retired Playboy, Philanthropist, and dying. What smacked me in the face was more than I was looking for. All I had been looking for was a suitable replacement for CEO. Someone who wouldn't turn my company on its head and make it crash and burn. Someone who could be trusted, was likable, interesting, who could stand the heat and the pressure. What I found was not only the best CEO, but love as well. Okay well the closest thing something can be to love for me. I kinda grew up in a family where the only thing I knew was, 'don't bother your father he's working'. There was no love; so finding out I love Pepper, well it took me a while to actually process. Which now that I think about it would probably explain some of my behavior at the senate meeting. Honestly I tried to deny that love but the more I denied it the more every fleeting glance, caring touch, soft words were brought to mind and the more I began to drown. I want to tell her so bad how I feel but I didn't want to push her away. Pepper is all I have and I can't risk scaring her away for potential love. I've never given her a reason to stick around, but she has so faithfully. I've never given her a reason to even want to love me. So I don't see how I can be selfish now. But then I figured out a way to tell her how I feel without really telling her. A double meaning.
"That's when I realized, it's you. It's always been you."
She's always been the one for me, I was just to blind and set in my ways to see it before. But Pepper is the only one I can see myself ever wanting to really change for. To try and be better, to have and to hold, to shower with affection in my weird ways. My red headed angel who's stuck by my side through thick and thin. She's all I have and all I'll need or want for the rest of my time here. She is Pepper Potts; part time employee, full time savior.
