Any girl except Maria.

'Girls ,I'm really not up for this.' It was about the fifth time I'd said that tonight.

'Come ON Maria, you're not chickening out us now!' said Lilly. She and Poppy grabbed my arms. They were twins, identical. Tall ,blonde, and yes, they were models. I'd only agreed to do this so that they would stop pestering me. I wasn't a party girl, not anymore.

'Guys! I don't wanna ruin you're night,' I said.

Poppy sighed, 'Maria, you used to be more fun. As soon as you get inside...'

'I'm different now,' I protested. I already knew that I was not going to enjoy tonight, at all!

We went into a casino, the type that all the rich kids and playboys hung about in. Naturally Lilly and Poppy had to make an entrance. They swung their hips and flicked their platinum blonde hair as they entered the casino. As they enjoyed the attention, I slipped away, to the bar. I knew I shouldn't be drinking, I had pretty busy day tomorrow, we were way behind schedule, but a little alcohol might make time go a little quicker.

I sat at the bar, watching Poppy and Lilly flirt like there was no tomorrow. I laughed, I would have been more subtle,would have, past tense. I was done with that kind of thing now. Sure, the parties, the clubbing, the flirting had been fun, but I had my career now, and that's what I wanted to spend my time on.

The twins turned around. They were looking for me. They must have just realised that I wasn't with them. Poppy spotted me and pointed me out to Lilly. They shook their heads as they made their way over to me. I sighed, I should have known they were going to make this difficult for me.

'Ria, it's not that you don't look gorgeous, but no guy is gonna notice you if you just sit at the bar,' said Lilly.

'I don't want to be noticed,' I took a sip from my glass.

'I thought you weren't gunna drink tonight,' said Poppy.

'Yeah, well desperate times call for desperate measures!'

'You know, you could at least make an effort Ria,' said Lilly. I think she was starting to get irritated with me now. I turned away and continued to sip my drink. I heard the twins sigh simultaneously.

'Fine suit yourself,' I heard Lilly say.

'I might just do that,' I muttured to myself.

I finished off my Bacardi Breezer and was just ordering another one. That's when I met Tony Stark.
