Chapter 6: Morning

DAY 3

Tony was the first to wake up from his peaceful slumber. The hand and head on his chest reminded him of the wonderful night he had spent with Pepper. He carefully shifted up a little and kept his arm securely around her waist. Tony smiled and exhaled a happy breath of air. He didn't bother to look at the time because he didn't care. He watched as her back moved up and down slightly indicating she was still sound asleep. He found his hands lightly going across her back as he stared lovingly at the woman who had captured his heart so quickly. As he continued to watch Pepper sleep he reminisced on the past two days and even he had to admit things were moving very fast. But even though they were moving fast it seemed…natural, like this was how things should be and they were trying to make up for lost time of not having known each other sooner. He felt as though he'd known Pepper longer than he had. She really was the other half to his heart. She was his sunshine, his purpose, his everything. Tony knew people would judge and criticize him like they had his entire life, saying that there was no way he could be so in love with someone he had met just two days ago and a week ago Tony would have agreed. All he could explain was that he did and he had never been filled with such an overwhelming amount of love and happiness. Now that he had discovered such love he never wanted to lose it. He would marry Pepper in that second if it meant he would feel this happy every day.

He leaned down and gently kissed her head whispering, "I love you Pepper Potts."

He saw a smile appear on her face as she snuggled deeper into his chest. Tony watched as Pepper continued to sleep for a few more minutes before she stirred and stretched her legs out before relaxing back into him.

"Hi beautiful." He murmured. Though her eyes were still closed she smiled and turned her head to look at him.

"Hi."

"Sleep well?" he asked as his fingers began trailing over her back again.

"mmhhm, you?" She asked looking up at him adoringly.

"Very well." Pepper smiled and stretched up to him lazily placing a kiss on his lips. "Mmm you're addicting." Tony said. Pepper giggled feeling so giddy and happier than she ever had in her life. "Last night and this morning were amazing." Tony said languidly.

Pepper smiled and replied, "I know." They lay there in silence enjoying each other until Pepper asked, "Tony, do you think we're going too fast into this? I don't regret last night at all, but…"

"I think that I'm so attracted to you that I don't know what to do what to do but try and show you that you're so special. I've never been happier in my life Pepper than here with you right now. And I know I just met you but I feel like I've known you my whole life. Maybe I'm crazy but I don't care what others think about us because I've grown up in the spotlight and never have I felt so joyous and carefree." Tony spoke softly to her with a smile.

Pepper kissed him again and said, "Thank you Tony." He smiled at her and let himself become lost in her ethereal eyes. Just then a loud continuous bang resounded on the door and Pepper quickly scrambled off Tony looking for her clothes. Tony very much enjoyed the view but rolled out of bed as well to make himself decent. By the time he had thrown on his boxers and pants, Pepper had also finished dressing and ran to the door that was still being banged upon. She threw open the door exasperated and saw all of her friends plus Rhodey standing there.

"Why haven't you answered your phone?! I called you like twenty times!" Marissa cried worried.

Tony came walking up behind Pepper and silence fell upon the group until Nelia broke it and said, "Pay up everyone! I told you we'd find both of em' here."

Everyone wordlessly withdrew five dollars as Tony and Pepper remained standing there unfazed. Tony wrapped his arms around Pepper's waist and rest his chin on her shoulder. "Well you found us and you interrupted a rather nice moment. Pepper will meet you at the pizza bar for lunch at noon. You too Rhodey. Alright, well now that you know she's okay we're gonna head back in now. Thanks for stopping by." Tony said then backed the both of them up and shut the door in their friends' faces.

"Tony!" She reprimanded him half-heartedly.

"What? They pulled you away from me and I don't take to kindly to being taken away from something I love." He said playfully. Pepper froze and Tony realized his mistake too late.

She turned around and searched his eyes for any sign of deception but found none. "You what?" She asked softly.

"Uh, it's nothing. Just forget about it." He said awkwardly trying to brush it off as nothing.

"Tony, you just said you loved me. I can't forget something like that."

"Well you're clearly taking it so well so let's just rewind to waking up and forget I said anything." He said visibly upset.

"Tony I…I love you too." She whispered.

Tony looked at her endearingly with sympathy but said, "Pepper please don't say something you don't mean."

Pepper walked over to the bed and sat down next to him in shock. "I do mean it though. I mean saying it aloud it makes so much sense. I feel so liberated." She said with a laugh as she continued to rant and think aloud. "I love you Tony." She said in disbelief as she met his eyes to tell him then looked back down at the floor to gather her thoughts. "I love you. Haha God that explains it all. I mean that explains my level of attraction to you and why I always seem to get butterflies when I'm around you and why last night happened. I dated Ben for a year and a half before we finally slept together. I was with him for two years and never once have I felt the way you've made me feel in the past two days. It explains why I can't stop thinking about you, why I feel so happy whenever I'm in your arms and you're holding me close or when we made love last night. Tony…I'm in love with you." She breathed out looking at him as though finally she could see clearly through the fog that had been making everything around her hazy.

Tony smiled and took her hand in his gently rubbing his thumb over the small semi-circle of skin it could reach.

"I'm in love with you too Pepper." Tony said softly. He met her gaze and they began leaning in closer to each other until their lips touched in such a sweet embrace. They both had fallen in love at first sight and while how they had met was something of fairy tales, the story of their love and their relationship to follow was stuff that legends were made of.
