Sorry I took so long and made it super fluffy. It will still be fluffy, but I want a bit more drama. Your reviews, feedback, and favorites/follows mean the world to me, so thank you :) I don't own the avengers. I don't own any of the characters, or places we go

Pepper woke up to her alarm clock buzzing to find that Tony wasn't there. She got dressed, put on her make up and made her way to the kitchen for a much needed cup of coffee. She was just getting ready to pour herself a cup to bring to work when her phone rang. Pepper answered it with a sigh.

"Hi Tony."

"Hey Pep. I'm sorry I wasn't there we we had to go on a mission."

"Did you forget what day it is?" Pepper said through gritted teeth.

"Of course I didn't its... uh... you know..."

"As if you don't remember. It's 6 years today that I started working for you. Don't forget that we have a meeting at 4pm today and dinner at 7pm."

"I know. I know. I'll be there. I've got to go. Talk to you later. I love you. Bye."
Tony hung up.

"I love you to Stark," she muttered to herself.

As big of a jerk that he was, Pepper was still worried about him. Whenever he was on a mission she did her best to look strong but while he was gone, her heart was with him. She couldn't help but ask JARVIS for any possible updates. 3:30 pm came. "Don't worry. Just 30 more minutes. You can handle it Pep," she said to herself.

Time came for the meeting. "He'll be here any minute," Pepper said to a room of board members trying to hide the frustration and worry in her voice.

"Ms. Potts, he is 20 minutes late now. It's time we start the meeting without him," an associate said.

"Alright. Lets get started."

Throughout the meeting Pepper tried not to be angry. She had agreed to be with Iron Man, and that came with a price. She knew he was a busy guy, but he still could've sent her a message. "He'll be there for dinner for sure," she thought.

The meeting couldn't end soon enough. Pepper went back home and started to get ready. She put on some music to listen to.

"JARVIS, which dress should I wear? The blue one or the red one?"

"The blue one Ms. Potts, it seems to be Mr. Stark's favorite on you," JARVIS explained.

"Thank you so much."

"You're welcome."

Pepper slipped into her blue dress. It was simple, but classy. It had short sleeves, and fell just to her knees. The neck was a V-shape and she shade of blue complemented her eyes so well. She put on her favorite charm bracelet. It had been given to her by the team. It was silver and it had a symbol on it that represented each of the members. They gave it to her to remind her that she is a member to them and to know that no matter how far they go on missions, that they will always be there for her. She then left the house and went to the restaurant that her and Tony went to on their first date.

"Can I get you something to drink?" the waitress asked.

"I'm going to wait for my boyfriend," Pepper said. They were still hiding that they were engaged as they wanted to announce it at the New Years Party, and they wanted to keep their privacy as long as they could.

"Alright."

She waited an hour when finally she ordered a salad. Pepper ate in silence fighting back tears as she watched the rain fall outside. She paid for her food with Tony's credit card. "He can deal with it," Pepper muttered.

Pepper made her way home. She wasn't home that long when she realized the Avengers were sitting in the living room eating pizza. Tony's eyes met hers and she broke down in tears.
He ran over worriedly. Everyone stopped talking so that they could listen in.

"Pepper! What's wrong?!" Tony said, pulling her into his arms.

Pepper pushed him away. He looked at her confused then realized seeing her dress that he had forgotten.

"Pep I'm so sorry!"

"No. You're not getting out of it this time," Pepper started yelling with tears streaming down her cheeks. "DON'T YOU DARE TRY TO ACT ALL INNOCENT. YOU BROKE MY HEART TONY STARK. THAT WAS HUMILIATING ENOUGH AT THE MEETING BY MYSELF. I COULDN'T HANDLE YOU NOT SHOWING UP FOR OUR ANNIVERSARY OF US MEETING. AT OUR RESTAURANT TOO? SITTING THERE FIGHTING BACK TEARS? I CAN'T DO THAT TONY STARK. YOU NEED TO THINK ABOUT WHO YOUR HURTING, BECAUSE SOONER OR LATER YOU WILL REALLY HURT SOMEONE. THANKS FOR A FANTASTIC DAY." Pepper left the room crying and locked their bedroom door. Tony could hear he sobs and it hurt his heart.

"Oh Pep," Tony cried.
