Most people would say that they are never head over heels excited to get up at the crack of dawn to go to work, actually most people aren't at all overjoyed with this however, a young redhead could barley even sleep for her first day as Tony Stark's personal assistant. Pepper had only moved to Malibu, CA about six months ago, fresh out of college, to begin her life. Although her new life ended at Stark Industries where she landed a job where she, and many others, kept close eye that there wasn't any mistakes. In all honestly the job was boring as could be since Mr. Stark NEVER ever made mistakes however, Pepper knew this before she even took the job but, she had the hugest crush on Tony Stark that she took it anyways but, to her dismay she never even saw him at the office. Then the day came where she noticed that Mr. Stark had made an error and ran to his office to report it, instead of just taking it up with her boss because she didn't want him to be embarrassed. The first moment that Pepper saw Tony she became flushed and a huge blushed crept across her freckled face.

"Is there something I can help you wit"? Tony asked, as his eyes wandered down to her chest.

Pepper was I so much shock that she finally got to see the famous Tony Stark in person, that no words left her mouth. Tony gave her a raised eyebrow which brought her back to reality, she put her hand straight forward where she was pretty much shoving the papers into his handsome face. Tony gave her an odd look and took the papers from her making Pepper feel completely embarrassed that she rudely shoved papers into his face. Pepper stood quiet look directly at Tony through her glasses, back then Pepper never cared much for her appearance and often wore her glass, her hair messily thrown up, and no make up. Tony just stared at her waiting for an answer as to why she handed him the papers but, no answer.

"Is there a reason why you handed me these papers"? Tony asked amused.

"Oh, I um…" Pepper began to stutter, feeling flustered and still in shock.

"I think you made a mistake!" Pepper finally blurted out, becoming once again embarrassed.

Tony's amused face soon turned to a confused one, he never made mistakes. Tony look through the papers and soon took out a calculator pressing in tons of different numbers. Tony hit the equals sign only to change his expression back to an amuse one. Tony looked Pepper up in down, she was thin but not super thin, her skin was pale but had these unique freckles that scattered across her face, and her face was like an angels despite the fact her glasses were really covering up most of her features and her hair hung loosely across her face. Tony once again began staring at her chest which caused pepper to blush, this amused Tony.

"You're hired." Tony said, surprising Pepper out of her trans.

"Wh-what?" She asked surprised.

"I hear by appoint you as my personal assistant, you start tomorrow…um.."

"Virginia! Um Virginia Potts."

"Virgina sounds like a lesbians name, I'm going to call you Pepper since you threaten my security guards with Pepper spray", Tony said with a slight chuckle.

It was true, before Pepper walked into Mr. Starks office his body guards wouldn't let her in which ended her in threatening them with pepper spray, even though she didn't really have any.

"Here's my adress, oh and by the way you'll be living with me so pack your things, and I'll see you tomorrow…Pepper." Tony said then left the room after shacking her hand.

Pepper was in so much excitement that she couldn't help but, jump up and down from excitement. From that moment on Pepper had a quest and that was to some day become Mrs. Anthony Edward Stark.

After Pepper had gotten all of her things moved into the Stark mansion she began her quest. That morning at 5:30 am Pepper jumped out of the shower and put on her black dress that went down a littler over her kness and had sleeves, she puts a plan pair of heels on, and lastly her glasses. Pepper was so excited for today that she could barley control her emotions, even just knowing the fact that she was now living in the same place with Tony was too much to bare. Pepper began down the steps before she was greeted by JARVIS.

"Good Morning Miss Potts" JARVIS spoke in his British voice.

"Oh Good morning," Pepper still had to get used to that computer thing.

Pepper heard some noise coming from the kitchen, which had to be Tony. Pepper looked in a hallway mirror, tucking her hair behind her ear. After examining herself Pepper walked towards the kitchen with a huge smile on her face until…

"Oh! Sorry Mr. Stark I didn't know you had company over!" Pepper practically yelled covering her eyes.

There right in the kitchen was a half naked girl with bleach blonde, blue eyes giant breast, and perfect tanned skin. Anyhow this blonde was only wearing extremely short shorts and was now sliding her shirt gone, as Tony was fiddling to put his belt back on, leaving his shirt behind.

"Oh hey Pepper, sorry I forgot you were here." Tony said, leaving Peppers heart to hurt a little at the last comment and for that fact Tony was doing stuff with this super pretty girl.

"No sorry it's my fault I should have knocked" Pepper said looking down at her feet in feeling tears swell in her eyes.

"Well you probably should leave." Tony told the blonde before smacking her ass. The blonde just gave him a smile and then began to make her way out only before she looked at Pepper up and down and chuckled to herself a little, all Pepper could do is to pretend to ignore her.

"So I'm sure JARVIS has shown you around." Tony said take some juice out of the fridge.

"Oh yes, he did," Pepper responded still looking at her feet.

Pepper felt hurt, she knew what Tony's rep. was with women but, she thought that maybe after the way he looked at her yesterday that he you know, like her but, she guessed wrong.

The next day after getting out of the shower and blow drying it Pepper decided to do something different with herself. After seeing that girl yesterday and well all of the girls she's see Tony on TV with or in magazines she felt she needed to step up her game. Pepper put a few curls throughout her hair and put some hair spray in to hold them, she put her contacts in, brushed a little of mascara across of eye lashes, and put red lipstick on her lips. Afterwards Pepper took lots of thinking on what time wear, and soon put on a pair of white pants and blue long sleeved blouse and for once kept the first two buttons undone. Pepper looked at herself in the mirror satisfied of what she looked like, hell she looked way better than she did for even prom. Pepper then slipped on a pair of red coach heels, grabbed some papers for Tony to sign. Pepper walked down the steps with confidence but, her face once again fell as some beautiful brunette walked out the door in what looks like last nights dress. Pepper stopped and wondered if Tony would ever look at her the way he looked at those girls, Tony liked to stare at her breast but, he never stared at her face. Pepper began walking down to Tony's workshop, that he practically lived in during the day. Pepper punched in her code in and walked towards Tony's desk, where Tony was fiddling with some machine.

"Good morning Mr. Stark," Pepper said cheerfully.

"Uh hu," Tony replied, not looking back at her.

"Um I have some paper work for you to sign, Mr. Stark"

"God please call me Tony," Tony said, a little grumpily.

"Oh I'm sorry Tony…" Pepper said hesitantly.

Tony noticed the saddens in her voice and, spun around in his chair. Tony notice how beautiful Pepper looked today and for a moment kept eye contact with her for the first time. Pepper couldn't help but smile when Tony looked at her but, then he looked away and, spun back around to fiddle with his machine. Pepper's smile soon turned up side down into sadness and once again began to look down at her shoes.

"Here's what needs to be sign," Pepper said and, tossed the papers on his desk before walking towards the stairs.

"Hey Pepper," Tony called after her. Pepper's smile soon grew back on her face and spun right around.

"Yes Tony?!" She asked a but loud.

"Can you please from now on escort my dates out in the morning, oh and pick up their dry cleaning when it's done, thanks," Tony said, then spun around again to his machines.

Pepper didn't know what to say so she just walked out the door and back up the stairs. Pepper stopped into a hallway to check herself in the mirror, she believed she looked beautiful but perhaps he didn't. Pepper spent most of the day holding back tears and hoping Tony would come up the stairs but he never did. Pepper went to bed that night with so many thoughts running through her head of , why did she take this job, why would she think that the famous Tony Stark would fall for her, and why she thought for that moment that she was beautiful. Pepper looked at the clock that read 2:30 am, and decided to go get a glass of water. Tony had a beautiful kitchen that was supplied with expensive counter tops, fridge, and stove. Pepper got her water and sat at the island once again her mind cluttering with thoughts, tears began run down her face and sniffles could be heard.

"Hey you okay?"

Pepper jumped at the voice to turn around and see Tony standing in the doorway looking at her. Embarrassed, Pepper turned back around.

"I'm fine," Pepper mumbled.

"It doesn't look like it, what's up," Tony asked grabbing two beers out of the fridge one for him and one for her.

"It's nothing really," Pepper said looking down at her beer.

"Oh c'mon you're crying, listen you are my personal assistant now, nothing between us is personal."

"Well…," Pepper began, "I like this guy but, he doesn't seem to like me in that way and I think it's because I don't look like most of the girls he goes after in all."

"So he must be into pretty ugly chicks then," Tony said before taking a chug of his beer.

"Wh-what you mean?"

"Well, lets face it you're gorgeous so if he's into girls that don't look like you they must be ugly."

This comment completely took Pepper by surprised, she couldn't believe that Tony had said that to her, did he really believe she was gorgeous? Tony wiped a tear from her cheeks and gave her a smile just before he got up to walk back upstairs.

"Oh and just for the records…I do like you and you're way pretty than the chicks I bang."
