Brown eyes. My father had brown eyes, tan skin the exact same shade as mine. He held a air of arrogance like mother warned but i pushed this aside as i tried to drink in all the details i could about the father that had been ripped from my life until now.
"Tony Stark." he declared, holding out his hand for her to take. I watched him warily, crossing the distance between us to slip my small hand into his large one. He shook it while he spoke. "Playboy millionaire, owner and CEO of Stark industries, and most importantly Iron Man."
I took my small hand from him and picked nervously at my suitcase handle. "Right. Uhm. Im Andréa, but I'd prefer Andi." I spoke, voice sounding much calmer than it actually was. There was an awkward silence as i finished. Then a strawberry-blong woman i hadn't noticed before spoke.
"Well welcome Andi. Im pepper. Anything you need you can ask me." I nodded and she beamed, wrapping an arm around Stark's arm. Oh. They were obviously in a relationship. "Follow us up and ill show you to your room. " she said merrily. I liked her, she got rid of the awkward that had arose between Tony and I. "I hope you don't mind, but on such short notice the only room open right now was right next to Captain America. I'm sure you'll get along swimmingly. He's quite the gentleman."
We were on the elevator now, and i could feel myself blushing. Captain America? Is living with my father? I couldn't believe it. I had a huge crush on him when i was younger, and my mother was involved in the program that found and nurtured him back to health after being in the ice. That was the last thing she had done before going insane.
Pepper led me to my room, as Tony made some excuse to retreat into his lab. She seemed fine with it, but i was curious as to what was down there. we walked up a towering flight of stairs And walked into a large modern room. "I wasn't sure what you liked so we kept it simple. You can go shopping soon for paint and anything else to make it feel like home."
"Thanks." I said genuinely, throwing her a smile. I sat down wearily on the queen bed. Despite my previous nap, i was emotionally drained.
"Don't worry about Tony." She said, mistaking my look for worry instead of exhaustion. "He'll get used to it soon. Gave him a heart attack though." she said giggling at the thought. I laughed too. "Alright I'll leave you alone than For a little. You can take a shower and join us for dinner if you want. The whole team is coming over tonight." I blushed again at the thought o Captain America, and tried to hide it by grabbing a towel out of a closet.
"Thank you." I said again, and she nodded while exiting through the door to the hallway. As she walked away I noticed her dress was Gucci. I moaned. How much did my father have? A huge mansion in the middle of New York and the country was practically wrapped around his finger. I busied myself by getting in the shower. The warm water eased my tense muscles, and i prayed that i'd fit in soon. How embarrassing must it be to have a poor straggly teenager showed up at your doorstep in need of your help.
I stepped out, tying the towel around me. The soap made me smell of vanilla, my favorite. My skin seemed even tanner again the stark (haha) white of the fluffy towel. I dried my hair, and left it down. After dressing I headed downstairs. My feet were silent against the wood, and i strained to hear the chatter of the dining room.
"So where is she?" Asked a deep voice, male And sounded muscular. it was full of curiosity.
"Clint relax." A sharp female voice responded, with a slight russian accent. The conversation turned to make fun of Clint. They all sounded friendly, like a family. like the kind i'd never been able to have.
I slowly entered, feeling as if i was intruding. Immediately a pair of baby blue eyes met mine. I blushed, seeing that they belonged to Captain America. He beamed, and i felt like melting into the floor. Captain lack of attention , caught everyone else's. They all fell silent within a matter of seconds.
"Hi. I'm Andi." I said trying to sound casual. The blue eyes were still on me. Everyone smiled and said hello, ushering me to the other seat left open to the right of my father and to the left of the captain. I cautiously sat and took a piece of pizza.
"So Andi...how old are you? Like twenty?" Clint asked. I laughed.
"No. Im only sixteen." i replied still chuckling. Clint broke the awkward barrier with that question. They all began asking questions.
"So your from Spain, but was born in America?" Captain America, or Steve as he asked me to call him, asked.
I nodded, "And i can speak spanish fluently." I added.
"Cool." Clint praised from the other end of the table. Everyone laughed at his comment. They were all so nice.
We moved into the living room after. Tony announced we'd be watching another classic in attempt to get Steve up to speed with movies. Tonight was 'the Sound of Music'. I was excited Because it had been awhile since id last seen it.
Steve sat next to me on a couch,smiling sweetly. "Do you mind?" He asked.
"No problem." I replied, turning pink at our close proximity.
Clint and Natasha were seat on a small chair, cuddling. Tony and Pepper claimed they had something to do within the first ten minutes. About halfway through the film the others couple left, leaving just Steve and I. He was polite during the movie, only asking a couple questions. I started to yarn and quickly moved my hand to cover my mouth, embarrassed because it was only nine.
"Tired?" He asked, breaking the silence.
"A little." I admitted, pulling my knees up to my chest. He chuckled, gently grabbing my legs and laying them a cross his lap. I smiled, leaning against the arm rest to support my head. Within seconds i drifted off to sleep.
