Nights - Chapter 1

I grabbed the T.V. remote as I flopped down on my couch. Today was the first day of my 2 weeks off from work, and I decided to start it off with the Star Wars marathon I've been waiting to see. The original trilogy, of course.

When I first turned it on, it was channel 4, the news. I rolled my eyes as Tony Stark, the famous genius, billionaire, playboy and shit, showed up on the screen.

"Tony Stark seems to be partying more than usual lately, as he was once again arrested for public intoxication and sex in the parking lot of Walmart..."

Damn, what a fucking man whore. I felt bad for whoever deals with that man on a daily basis. I was about to change the channel when I heard footsteps behind me.

"What are you watchin'?" I heard my sister say, sitting herself down on the other side of the couch.

"I was going to watch some Star Wars."

"I never knew Tony Stark was in The Empire Strikes Back having an orgy," she said with a chuckle.

I smiled, "Well the news was on, and like always he's being gossiped about his sexual experiences."

"I wouldn't be surprised, he's freaking hot. Any girl would do anything to get into his bed, including me," she said staring at him on the screen dreamily.

"Stacy, you're out of your damn mind. That dude thinks he can get anyone's pants off, but there are some people who might be, I don't know, disgusted?"

"Leah, you are the crazy one here, I mean, are you blind? Look at him! Anyways, I gotta go, I promised I would work a few extra hours at the community centre this week," she said, getting up and making her way back into her room.

I shook my head as I switched to the channel Star Wars was supposed to be on, but what disappointed when I found out the marathon had been yesterday. I sighed and decided to get dressed myself, I needed some fresh air and possibly some coffee.

I headed out the door, and got into my Nissan. It wasn't exactly the prettiest or newest car out there, but I'd had it since my parents had given it to me on my 18th birthday, and I planned to keep using it for a while. As I drove to Star Bucks, I heard my cell phone ring.

"Hello?" I asked.

"Leah! Hey!" I was a bit surprised at realizing it was my boss's voice.

"Hi! I thought I wouldn't hear from you until two weeks!" I said, trying to hide the irritation in my voice.

"Well, I think you'll be excited to take this story," he said. My job as a journalist had been anything but exciting. To me, it was more of a temporary job until my career as a singer took off. But, deep down I knew it was a ridiculous dream.

"Impress me."

"Well, this story is going to be a little different, you're actually going to be interviewing someone. And not just anyone, the man himself, Tony Stark!" he said, then waited for a response, I bet he expecting a cry of joy, but I felt a rush or fear go through me.

"What?" I said, not finding anything better to say.

"It'll be a great way to make the magazine more popular! After two years I finally got a hold of him, and I'm trusting you to make this our best selling issue!"

"Are you sure you wouldn't want someone else, I mean-"

"No, everyone else is busy with other articles, and besides, you've never failed me in the past," he said. I could feel the hope practically jumping out of his voice, and I didn't want to crush him.

"Uh, ok, sure!" I tried my best to sound upbeat.

"Great! I'll send you the address later, and be there tomorrow at one o'clock!" he said, then hung up, not even saying goodbye. I guess he didn't want me to have time to change my mind.

What the fuck had I just gotten myself into?

Hey guys! This is my first story on this website, so if it's disgustingly horrible, please accept my excuse. Anyways, in the next chapter, Leah will meet Tony and we'll see what happens from there! ;)

Oh, and please comment on suggestions for my writing, and possibly the story. I would really appreciate any feedback!
