Pepperony
"Pepper, I've been thinking about new additions to my Tower." Tony crosses his legs adjusting his sun glasses from sliding down.
His assistant rolls her eyes making notes on her pad, "Seriously."
"Seriously. I want a theme song every time I walk in my house to automatically go off."
She raises her eyebrows disgusted with his lack of humility, "You have got to be kidding."
"Something catchy that I can dance to."
"No."
"What do you mean no? This is my house Miss Potts. Okay so-"
"No."
He waves his forefinger, "I saw that eye-roll Pepper. What's wrong with making this place a bit more, me?"
She crosses her arms and legs sarcastically. Her eyes narrow, "The last time I counted, we had twenty-two pictures of you, just on the first floor."
He shrugs his shoulders, "Well I don't see you with any ideas. What's wrong with me?"
"I've been trying to figure that out for a while now."
He smirks, "You never change do you?"
She lifts her pad back up with a smile, "Would you like me to?"
Tony looks over the rim of his sun glasses before choosing to remove them, "Why do you insist on changing the topic?"
Pepper taps the pen on the page ignoring her 'boss', "Next question; you've got 4 missed phone calls and two business meetings that need rescheduling. You have 5 interviews this week for Newsday, and the gentlemen from California"
"Cancel all of 'em."
She stutters, "Are you- no, I worked hard to schedule the meeting with him I'm not going to just cancel-"
"I'm not going anywhere, I'm too busy."
She tosses her pad to the side, "Busy? I'm the one doing all the work around here!"
Tony stands up, "Miss Potts if your going to start that again..."
She whispers, "No, no I'm not forget it. I just would like to finish this already."
"What's the rush?"
She taps the pad, "I made plans."
He steps closer to her, "Plans? I wasn't invited?"
Pepper ignores him once again, "You have two openings, 12, and 3 PM."
"What are you doing later?"
"3:00 would probably be best, no?"
Tony crosses his arms, "Pep?"
She looks up innocently, "Yes?"
He shifts his weight, "Your not really going anywhere right?"
"Why?"
He looks down, "Cause I was just thinking, I was going to take a test ride. Would be nice if you could be there, if your not too busy of course I don't want to ruin your evening."
She smiles, "I think I can work something out."
He drops his arms with a nervous grin on his face,"You didn't, really have plans did you?"
She stands up holding her hands behind her back, "Mr. Stark."
He widens his eyes, "Miss Potts."
"Didn't you have something new to show me?" Pepper takes a step to the side.
He holds out his hand taking hers, "Right this way my dear. And we're not done talking about my theme song. I want something loud, something that represents me."
She snickers, "We'll talk about it."
