Social Security Number

"I don't think you could tie your shoes without me."

"I'd make it a week."

"A week, really? What's your social security number?"

It was like a old movie when Tony saw Pepper across the hall. His mind replayed everything in slow motion, he saw Pepper sweep her hair across her shoulders, her dress swishing around her and her gentle smile while she was talking to people.

She was beautiful. Ethereal even.

Tony shut off his mind for the night. Tonight his slightly malfunctioning heart was going to take the lead. He took a few sips of liquid courage before he ambled up to Pepper. This wasn't like him, Tony Stark didn't get nervous or afraid.

Tony strolled towards Pepper trying to remember a place where she had looked even more gorgeous. Images of Pepper flooded his mind like a broken dam.

Pepper finally caught his eye, she gave a blindingly stunning and yet slightly confused smile. She didn't think he was coming to this event. Her eyes lit up at Tony standing in front of her wearing a tuxedo which fit him perfectly. Seeing Tony always succeeded in warming her heart.

Tony dragged her out to the dance floor, a dress like that should be shown off. Pepper smiled nervously at the people around her who were staring in perplexity at them. Bosses weren't supposed to dance with their personal assistants.

Tony bantered with Pepper, trying to get her to focus on just them rather than what everyone else was thinking.

She was right, whether Tony argued against it or not. He won't be able to manage his life, let alone tie his shoes without her. The only person who had access to all parts of his life. The only person who could handle him at his absolute worst.

Everyone gazed at the unconventional couple twirling around on the dance floor and then watched them disappear on to the terrace.

Women looked on jealously at Pepper and the adoring gaze Tony was giving her.

Men shook their heads, the great womanising Stark had fallen.

Who knew what the future would bring Tony and Pepper.
