Pepper was working quietly in her office, back in the Stark mansion, when she heard the door open, followed by a very familiar voice which was saying hello and commented on how beautiful she was today.
"Good afternoon, Tony.", she replied, rising her head to watch him while he approached her. He was wearing a pair of jeans in a dark shade of blue and a brown T-shirt with a Black Sabbath logo on it.
"Listen, honey. I have an idea...", Tony started, but Pepper rose her finger up, pointing at him.
"Half of your sentences that start like that do not end up very well.", Pepper commented.
Tony opened his mouth to defend himself, but he had nothing to say so he ignored the comment.
"As I was saying, I have an idea.", he repeated while Pepper sat back again. "I was thinking that you spend too much time working at the office and I want you to have a little break. After all it's Sunday tomorrow and before you say anything about work that needs to be done, I already gave you a free pass.", Tony said.
"But Tony I..", Pepper started, but he cut her of immediately.
"Thank you Mr. Stark.", he said.
"Excuse me?", Pepper said
"From what I've heard, when the boss gives the day off the personnel says "Thank you, Mr. Stark" and rush out of the door.", Tony said.
"Thank you, Tony, but since you are barely in the office...", Pepper tried to reason him, but he cut her of once again with a more successful way. He leaned in and kissed her. Pepper protested a little, but she finally gave in.
"So, are you coming with me tomorrow?", Tony said, already leaving the office.
"You can't do this every time we have an argument, Tony.", She shouted back at him.
"Well, it works, doesn't it?", he replied. "Pick you up at seven.", he shouted, not waiting for a response.
