"Hey Lani..We're here." I opened my eyes I was in Tonys car, I moaned and got out my side was killing me. Happy, Tony's driver got the bags and Tony came and helped me inside. He put me down on the lounge.
"You will have to stay here for a while for your own safety."
"Oh okay"
"What's wrong..I know that's a stupid question."
"It's just I barley know you and know im living you…why me?"
"I knew they were after you for a long time I tried to keep it a secret. But when I heard they were in town. I had to get you to know me so you would trust me…That's when I set up the interview and the dinners and etc..etc.." He walked away to poor a drink. It all makes sense now why would Tony Stark ask me to dinner? Why would they get me, a crapy writer to interview him! I was so stupid to even think he would like me.
"Im going to go to bed." I got up from the lounge and started walking down the hall. Tony just sat down drinking his drink. I had no idea where anything was. I just found a random room and crashed on the bed. Im not a big crier but I cried myself to sleep that night.
I walked out in my pj shorts and an old Van Halen shirt that was 2 sizes too big. I stared raiding his kitchen till I found something good to eat. "Goooood Mornin" Tony came out from down stairs in a black top and dark jeans. I turned around feeling awkward "Mourning..."
"Yeah you won't find anything in there, Happys going to get breakfast "
"Oh ok"
"What's up with you? You seem quite, well quieter to when you are usually being quite." He sat down on the lounge and pick up a clear screen and being typing.
"Nothing's wrong why would anything be wrong" I gave a huge smile with my teeth. Tony looked over at me. "freaky." I just sighed and rolled my eyes. Happy walked in with the food and I began eating at the breakfast bar and tony went down to the garage.
I got dressed and went down stairs. Tony had screens everywhere I had no idea what he was doing. "Look okay there is something wrong!"
"Here we go…"
"What am I meant to do all day?! What about my fish? And my job!? And what about Nina? Oh god she is going to freak!"
"I already called your work. You are on vacation to visit your sick grams umm…im sure Nina can live without you annnd if you really want your fish we can go and get it."
"I don't really have a fish I just wanted to sound more dramatic" I laughed at myself Tony laughed to.
"And I don't care what you do as long as it in the house"
"Fine!"
The next past days I've been doing nothing except watch TV and annoy Tony. That was it he said I could do whatever I want so im going to. I turned on the sound to the hole house to Queen really loudly I pulled all the cushions off the lounge and put them neatly on the floor with blankets and pillows I got happy to get me some food and I just laid there screaming along with queen and eating Doritos. After the same song played over 5 times Tony finally came upstairs.
"Mute"
"Un-mute!"
"Mute!"
"Un-mute!"
Tony sighed "What are you doing?"
"Whatever I want" I sat up and smiled at him. I turned the music off because Tonys face was really serious. "Do you think this is a joke? I am trying to protect you! Do you think I want to be down there working my ass off to stop them? Do you think I want you here!"
"No I don't think you want me here. I know you don't!" I stormed off to my room and started packing my things.
It was around 11:20pm I grabbed my small shoulder bag and walked out of my room. It was dark and I knew Tony would be downstairs. I tried to unlock the front door but it wouldn't budge. "Jarvis!" I whispered "Please unlock the door" "Im sorry Miss Byrne I am not authorized to do that." I sighed there must be another way out of this dam house! I began opening every window but they were all locked. "Going somewhere?" I jumped I turned around and the lights were on tony was in his grey pj pants with no top on but I doubt he was sleeping…is always working. "Umm…camping indoors?" I gave a weary smile. He walked closer "Lani listen, you don't understand whats goin-"
"No I don't understand whats going on! You don't tell me anything" surprisingly he grabbed my hands "you really think I don't want you here?" I nodded. He smiled "Why would I be working all day and night to protect you if I didn't want you here?" I just looked at him. He pulled me outside and we sat down on the ground looking at the stars " you know if we weren't targeted I would of taken you flying tonight" I smirked and looked at him but he just keep staring at the sky. "I must sound so stupid because when you were taking me out to dinner and all those things I thought you might actually like me and when you wanted to drive me home I thought you wanted to be in bed with me not to see if I get kidnapped on my way home."
"I never said I didn't want to be in bed with you" Tony smiled at me. I sighed "never mind." I got up and went to bed. He doesn't understand.
