Spring Break Chapter 8: Arrangements

DAY 4, Grand Bahama

"Attention passengers, we will be arriving in the Grand Bahamas within the hour. All Haven customers will have priority debarkation and check in at Our Lucaya Beach Resort. Thank you for sailing with us. This is your captain, Jeffery Murdock."

Tony and Pepper had been in a store shopping for necklaces when the captain announced their imminent arrival. Now they were in Pepper's room and he was trying to help her pack. "Pepper...it's not…going in." Tony grunted as he tried to stuff in another pair of shoes into her suitcase.

"That's what she said." Pepper said with a smirk.

"First of all that's my line and secondly, you try stuffing these shoes inside this already overstuffed turkey." Tony complained.

"Hey, you volunteered to help." Pepper defended.

"This…wasn't what…I had in mind." Tony said with another grunt and then a sigh of relief as he shoved the shoes in and zipped up the suitcase.

"Oh I know what you meant." Pepper replied from the bathroom as she finished putting away all of her things. "Maybe I'll give you a reward for helping later on."

"Oooohhh, what kind of reward?" Tony asked with a smile as he leaned against the door frame. "I guess you'll find out soon enough Mr. Stark." Pepper replied mysteriously.

There was a knock at the door and Tony pushed off of the door frame. "I got it Pep."

"Thanks, it's probably them checking in on us." Pepper explained as she grabbed her shampoo and conditioner from the shower.

"Password please." Tony said through the door.

"Open the door or my butter sock will." Came the reply.

Tony opened the door a second later and the entire gang walked through. "Aussie, aussie, aussie!" Marissa called out.

"Oy, oy, oy!" Pepper said returning the call from her bathroom.

"Ah, there you are." Michelle said popping her head into the bathroom.

"Here I am." Pepper replied.

"Is you all packed?" Nelia asked.

"Izz beez finishin'." Said Pepper as she zipped up her duffel bag.

"Where's Rhodey?" Tony asked.

"Oh, he texted me and said he's going to meet up with us in a minute. He had some trouble finding something." Nelia answered.

"Good ol' Platypus, always misplacing something." Tony said with a shake of his head and a grin.

"Are you sure we can leave early with you guys?" Michelle asked.

"Yeah, I'm Tony Stark, of course you can." Pepper smiled and kissed his cheek.

"Thank you, love." Tony smiled brightly and nodded. Another knock came from the door and Nelia went to open it.

"Hello there good lookin'. Are you lost or something?" She asked.

"Very funny, can I come in now?" Rhodey asked.

"Name please." Nelia said.

"uhh…Rhodey." He answered confused.

Nelia pretended to be looking at a clipboard and scanned the air intently. "Sorry, there's no Rhodey on here but if you really want to come in I'd be willing to let you in for a fee." She said with a grin. Feeling bold Rhodey looked at her before he came closer and closer. "What are yo-"

Rhodey softly planted his lips on Nelia's in a sweet manor that when he drew back Nelia was speechless. "How'd you like to come to dinner with me on the island tonight?" He asked softly.

"I…uh…yes." She squeaked.

Rhodey smiled and replied, "Great, I'll pick you up at seven thirty."

"mmhmm." Nelia replied still unable to form a coherent sentence.

"Can I come in now?" Rhodey asked with an innocent smile. She finished opening the door and stepped aside as Rhodey walked through the door. "I'm sure you're all wondering why I've gathered you here today." Rhodey said with a smirk.

"Oh don't even." Tony said from where he lay lounged on Pepper's bed watching T.V. with Marissa and Michelle sitting on the edge of the bed as Pepper went around gathering her things.

"Why is everyone always in my room? IS there some beacon that draws everyone here?" Pepper asked exasperated as she tried to move around in the small room amidst the five other bodies in the room.

"Your beauty." Tony said with a smile.

"Kiss up. Now shut your mouth." Pepper grumbled.

"I could have said something so much more…graphic and explicit." Tony replied with a sly grin. Pepper threw the book she had in her hand and it hit Tony square in the chest. "You complete me." He said rubbing his chest where the book hit.

"Oh please." Pepper said with a roll of her eyes.

Tony smirked and put his focus back on to N.C.I.S. "Why have you two only just met? You should have run into each other way earlier. I wouldn't have gotten in so much trouble with the police." Rhodey grumbled as he sat down on the couch with Nelia.

"Done." Pepper said with a smile of satisfaction.

" 'Bout time." Tony mumbled.

"I'm sorry, was there something you wanted to share dear?" Pepper asked patronizingly as she baited the trap.

"Nope, nothing at all honey bear." Tony replied quickly.

"That's what I thought." Pepper said as she walked over to the bed and curled up in Tony's arms against the headboard avoiding hitting her friends. The six of them sat together enjoying the talents on N.C.I.S. as they waited to arrive on the island.

"What do you mean?!" Marissa cried outraged.

"I'm sorry ma'am but the computer says that you reserved a room with one queen size bed and a pul out couch." The computer clerk said softly and calmly to Marissa. She was young, no older than twenty-five. She had long, wavy, blonde hair with brunette highlights, brown eyes, thin lips, a small nose, and freckles peppering her cheeks.

"No, I asked for a room with two queen size beds!" Marissa argued.

"I'm sorry but-"

"Is there another room we can switch to?" Michelle interjected trying to spare the poor clerk of Marissa's wrath.

"I'm sorry but all the rooms are booked through next week." The clerk said clearly scared of Marissa.

"Hey guys, it's fine. Pepper can stay with me. I've got a king size bed and Rhodey's got his own room so I'm all along in a huge place so I've got plenty of space." Tony offered.

"Ohh, I like that idea." Pepper said immediately onboard.

"Well of course you would, you would get to screw around all day if you had the chance." Marissa said with a roll of her eyes.

"No arguments here." Tony responded with a grin to which Pepper jabbed an elbow into his ribs.

"But we've got no other options so you're going to have to." Marissa said.

"Great, so we'll meet up with you guys in an hour down by the beach?" Pepper asked. Everyone nodded in confirmation and headed to the elevator after the clerk gave Marissa the room key and spare. The girls exited on the sixth floor and the rest on the twelfth floor. Rhodey parted ways with them as he reached his room and Pepper and Tony continued to the end of the hallway. As they reached the door Tony put his bags down and held out his arms.

"What are you doing?" She asked with an eyebrow raised.

"Put your bags down." He commanded.

"Why?" Pepper questioned.

"Just do it."

Pepper set her bags down and looked at him questioningly before he scooped her up in his arms and inserted the key card. He pushed the door open and carried Pepper across the threshold before setting her down.

"We're not married you know." Pepper said with a roll of her eyes.

"But we could be and you can't tell me that wasn't fun." Tony said with a smile.

"A, we're not eloping and B," Pepper said but Tony continued smiling waiting for her to finish. "I never said it wasn't fun."

"So you would marry me huh? Cool. I'll store that factoid for later." He said with a grin as wide as the moon.

"I'll get the bags while you explore." Tony offered.

"Okay." Pepper agreed as she disappeared behind a door. "Found the bedroom!" Pepper called out. Tony followed the sound of her voice with all of their bags piled onto him until he reached the rom and dumped them onto the floor.

"You know,…we should probably break in that bed so it's more comfortable tonight. "Tony said with a grin.

"Something tells me this bed will be broken in plenty before the day is over." Pepper said with a shake of her head. "Plus, we do have to meet up with everyone."

'Yeah, in an hour." Tony said advancing on her.

"Well…I guess it would be time well spent, and I do have a reward I need to give you for being such a good boy." Pepper said with a sultry smile as Tony reached her. She avoided his lips and jumped onto the bed shedding her flip flops. Tony did the same and climbed up after her.

"Welcome to the first place we share amidst the many to come, Ms. Potts." Tony said before capturing her lips with his heatedly.
