I was woken up at 8:15 by my lovely PA. As usual she starts calling me a lazy, unintelligent man who can't get his own ass up in the morning. I can't imagine a better way to start a day. After all these years she still hopes I will get up by my own. And everyday I lay in bed and wait till she comes and wakes me herself.
While she keeps on rambling on I start the daily scan of my Pepper (yes she's mine though I don't think she knows it yet). I start with the feet. Nice grayish shoes. I nod satisfied. Time to go higher. Up those perfect legs... A black skirt. Well, it isn't very original but not everyone has my perfect sense of fashion. Next comes the shirt. Blue with white dots (I think those are flowers). I guess it's ok. Now the worst and best part altogether. Best because I see her beautiful red hair and lovely freckley face with those glittering blue eyes. Worst because that wonderful face that somehow sneaked into a lot of my dreams is filled with anger and the eyes are glaring at me. I break into a goofy grin when I see Peppers forehead cutely wrinkled.
„Mr Stark it's time to get out of bed. You have a meeting a 10 AM" she says with that 'You must do what I'm telling you to do, or I'll hide your whiskey' voice.
I sit up. „10 out of 10 today Ms Potts" I say in a playful tone „Will it ever drop?"
„What do you mean?" she asks and for a moment she drops he professional facade.
„Well, soon you must run out of those lovely clothes. And your beauty can't stay like that for ever can it?" I tease flirtatiously
I think she's blushing a little. Just a small amount of rose going up her cheek. Then she must have realized that there was no sense in talking to me while I was sitting under my covers in bed with almost no clothes on. She sighs and exits the room. I chuckle and yawn. Time to start the day.
