So, who's ready for another chapter? Anybody? I AM! LOL! I know I haven't updated the one-shots in awhile, but I thought I'll finish this book first then I could focus on the one-shots for a bit. Remember, I do take requests for them :D ENJOY!
Tony sat in the living by himself with a martini in hand. He watched the minutes tick by, until he heard what he was waiting for. Pepper quietly closed the door from behind her and tip-toed in.
"Hey, why being all quiet?" Tony asked from where he sat on the couch, swirling his cup around. His voice made her jump and her head wiped to him.
"Oh…hey sweetie!" She smiled, as she walked over to him.
"So, you were working then?" Tony cocked an eyebrow at her. She nodded as she straddled Tony's lap and started to lay delicate kisses on his mouth, nose, neck, and mouth.
"Do you even love me?" Tony whispered, making her look at him. Pepper froze for a minute.
"Of course I do honey! Now-"She wrapped her arms around his neck. "Since we've been married for about six months now, I think you can trust me. How 'bout we start putting my name on some of the bills and checks, hmm?" She whispered seductively in his ear.
All of a sudden Tony shoved her off of his lap. "Are you cheating on me?" He asked firmly, standing up. Pepper looked up at him with shock.
"Of course not! How in the world did you get that silly idea from?" She nervously laughed as she tried to get up off the floor.
"Steve said that-"
"Steve." She repeated. "He's making up lies! How do I not know your cheating on me with him, hmm?" She placed a hand on her hip and tilted her head slightly.
"What? I'm-I'm not!" Tony defended himself.
"Well then good. I'm glad we're on the same page then." She turned around on her heels and sashayed away to their bedroom. Tony sighed as he watched her leave, but then his gaze fell onto her white purse she left on the couch.
He snatched it up and opened it to reveal her phone. He grabbed it and threw her purse against the couch. He turned it on, but it had a code to get in. After about five minutes, he was able to break into it. There's nothing that Tony freaking Stark can't get into. He automatically went to her text messages, and surprisingly she had a ton from his limo driver Happy. He opened some couple and read them to himself.
Hey Pep! Hope your days doing well, LOVE YOU TONS! Can't wait to see you tomorrow.
I love you Pepper. Sorry 'bout Tony being a jackass. If you ever need time to 'unwind' I'll make sure to help you with that.
Wanna come over to my place tonight? ;)
Tony's heart felt like it just got ripped out of his chest. He slowly looked up, trying to keep his rapid breathing under control. He clutched the phone tighter in his hands and stormed upstairs to where Pepper was on the bed doing her nails.
"Hey sugar plum, so I was thinking that-"
"Happy." Tony whispered. Her head shot up to look at him. "You're cheating on me…with Happy." It wasn't even a question, it was a statement. Pepper gaped at him, then slowly put her nail polish down.
"Tony." She whispered.
"Did you ever love me?" Tony asked looking down at the phone. Pepper started to worry because it was never good when he acted so calm like this.
"Of course I love you! I still love you!" Pepper said quickly as she scurried to be by his side.
"These text messages date back six months when we got married. You started to cheat on me as soon as we got married." Tony whispered, not making eye contact.
"Tony I-"
"Get out." Tony said through clenched teeth.
She frowned at him. "Excuse me? This is my house too!"
"No, it never was. You never signed your names on anything yet. It's all still mine. Now get out before I have the police get you out."
"Tony can I-"
"No!" Tony threw the phone on the bed. "I want you out of my house. Tomorrow you can get your things. And expect divorce papers in the mail." Tony frowned at her. Pepper opened her mouth to say something, but didn't. She just gripped her phone and stormed out. She never shed a tear, never tried to apologize.
Tony just stood there, alone in the room. He could feel his eyes start to swell up. He thought about it, and he actually wasn't sad that Pepper was gone. He was sad that he yelled at a certain blonde, and called him a liar when he was actually right. He had some major apologizing to do.
XxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxX
Tony knocked hard on the wooden door and then waited. He would understand that Steve might not want to talk to him, but he at least needed to try. The door slowly swung opened and Steve stood there in grey sweatpants that where long enough to just show his toes, a plain white t-shirt, and his hair was wet from probably the shower he just took.
After seeing Tony there, Steve went to shut the door but Tony put his foot in the way.
"I just wanna talk." Tony whispered. Steve swiftly turned around and stormed into his living room. Taking that as an invitation to come in, Tony took a step then closed the door behind him.
"What do you want to talk about Tony? Oh, how about how you yelled at me and called me a liar, hmm? Or-or maybe how I actually care about you and was trying to tell you 'bout Pepper but you just yelled at me and-"
"You where right."
"And how about-wait what?" Steve closed his mouth and looked Tony up and down.
"Pepper was cheating on me. You where right." Tony whispered, refusing to make eye contact with the blonde. Steve opened his mouth, but the words wouldn't come out.
"So, I guess I'm trying to say I'm sorry." Tony mumbled. He's never looked more vulnerable in his whole life, and Steve felt sad for him. Tony nodded once before turning to leave. Instead, Steve grabbed his arms, brought him closer and crashed his lips against his own. Tony was taken back by this, but grabbed on to Steve's chin with one hand, and gripped the back of his head with the other.
Steve bit his lower lip that made Tony give a soft moan. The blonde, taking charge, slowly lead them into his bedroom.
