Emily's P.O.V.
He had a big smile. I think I boosted his energy when I agree to the dinner thing… Maybe he's not as bad and the tabloid says, but he does look like a playboy… Ems don't mess this up, not like last time… He takes me to his car and opened the passenger's
door like a gentleman. Settling in, he told me we were going to Red Mango.
The ride towards the restaurant was fun. We talked about how vampires had been horribly portrayed in some movies. It took us a few minutes to get to the restaurant. It was a cute looking restaurant, I was amazed at how it looked. When I entered… Everything
looked amazing, the food on display, the yogurt; everything made my stomach grumble. Not noticing, I let out tears thinking of the last time I had a meal close to what I will have. "Tony, this is amazing."
"You okay kid?"
I wipe my tears and smile at him. "It's nothing I just don't remember the last time I had a meal like this." I hug him. "Thank you."
"Yeah, sure kid." I go to the cash register and see the cashier. She was in her mid-twenties, her hair was red, eyes were green and her attitude was too perky for my tastes. She had been stocking bananas when she noticed were there. "Sorry I'm late, what
would you like to order?"
Awing at the sight of Tony I gave her my order, a teriyaki flatbread with a soda and Tony has a vanilla yogurt. She wrote the order and she was staring at Tony, it looked like she was undressing him with her eyes. I look back at Tony to see if he notices,
but he doesn't, at least that's what I see… Bitch, don't you see he's with me!... Wait, why am I getting jealous? I just met him!... I grab a seat after Tony pays and he comes back with the order… I don't know how but the minute he gave me
my meal it was gone. He laughed. "Sorry, I was really hungry…"
He chuckled. "Don't be, there's nothing bad about a girl who has an appetite."
"This is very delicious if it wasn't for my job and low income I would come here every day!" I took a sip from my beverage and kept staring at him.
"You know I'd come here every day if I could, but I don't have the time…" He shrugs. "It depends."
"You do seem like a workaholic. What do you do?"
"Well I'm a superhero, I build this suits that allow me to fight crime," He smirked. "Plus I'm a billionaire philanthropist."
Giggling, I look over to the cashier Megan She had been staring for quite a while and writing a lot on her phone. "You can't just shut yourself in your work it's not good."
"If I'm not out saving the world I'm at home doing work. Or going places I find interesting." He answered. "You can't say that you work non-stop."
"Because then I can't afford living here, but I do find some me time in the process." I laughed. "Being able to go anywhere must be nice." I look down at my cup knowing I can't travel anywhere expect the American continent… I look up once again and smile.
"I had fun today. Hope we can repeat it."
Tony's P.O.V:
I shrug when she said that. "We can, only you have to decide." The sky's the limit here kid… By then I had finished my yogurt. She smiled once again and said, "I want to, but that'll mean I have to quit my job and find another one, but I think
I can make it work. It was nice going out with Mr. Philanthropist."
"I'm up for it anytime. Unless someone's dying or something." He says as he shoves a napkin into his pocket. "Or... you know, I'm dead." I shrug. No one can control the things that happen as such. My last words made her flinch.
She looked away avoiding my eyes. "I guess we should start planning our next date." She wiped the tears that were flowing down and gave a fake laugh. "I'm not usually like this… I don't know what's happening to me today." I grab her hand and gave her
a sincere smile… I am NOT good with this, this girl will be the death of me… "Thanks for staying as long as you did."
"I'll be just a text/call away if you need me," I said. We both lean closer to each other about to kiss, but we were stopped by a flash… Damn Paparazzi! I glance at the cashier who was taking pictures and then to Emily. Her eyes were wide opened and she
was frozen with fear. I took action by deleting the pictures in Megan's phone (politely, of course) and I went to Emily's side. "You okay kid?" She nodded, but I knew it was a lie. "Come on, we are getting out of here." I put my jacket over her face
remembering she doesn't want to be known, or at least that's what she texted. We got out of the restaurant all we could hear was this: "Tony, have you finally settled down?" "Who is this girl?" "How long have you been dating?" … Dammit, this girl is freaking scared about this…
I got her into the car and drove away. I drove for a while to keep her mind off of what happened until she asked me to go home. It took me a few minutes to get there. The neighborhood was very sketchy. This place didn't look very safe for her to be here…
Then a teenage African American boy, his appearance was of a thug he started threatening me for being here. Emily had a tired look on her face, "Go home Steve," She says. "How many time we have told you to stay inside at this hour, your mother is
calling." The boy ran to his apartment scared of what might come.
"What was that about?" I shook my head trying to understand what just happened… Kids like that end up being dangerous to themselves…
"He's just territorial, hates people that have power… He's a nice kid, but his mother and I can't seem to keep him from bad company."
I vaguely chuckle. "Anyhow, text me whenever you are free." I help her out of the car like a gentleman would do… It's too bad Pepper never noticed… She kissed my cheek and waved goodbye before entering the building. With that, I left to the tower
and continued working with the suits.
