Chapter 15

Bella woke up this time first and winced. She really couldn't believe it. They hadn't had sex in one day and he went and acted as if it had been years. Well he does like to go by dog years, she thought. Though she had to admit that the pain was worth the pleasurable feeling she got afterwards. She carefully slid out of bed and went downstairs to make breakfast. She slipped on his t-shirt which was way too big for her, but she didn't mind. Bella skipped downstairs with a complete plan of what to do for breakfast, but she didn't plan on Pepper being downstairs. (pepper's back! and she caught bella in tony shirt! DX)

"Okay Tony, we have a busy schedule ahead of us and you're not Tony" Pepper said

"And you're here and not with your family. Not that I'm not glad for you to be back, I am! I just wasn't expecting you here now"

"And I wasn't expecting you in nothing but Tony's shirt. And the reason for that being…" Pepper trailed off and Bella flushed a faint red color. She was about to answer-or make an attempt- until Tony came downstairs.

"There better be a good reason why I woke up alone… PEPPER! Hey, how's it goin" he asked nervously. Just when they thought it couldn't get any worse, Rhodey and Happy walked in. (awkward)

"What's going on in here… WHOA" Rhodey exclaimed

"What? Oh my…" Happy trailed off. They looked Bella up and down then repeated.

"Okay that's enough" Tony said stepping in front of Bella. She hid her face into his shoulder and tried to get control of herself.

"Bella, can I speak to you upstairs please" her tone was polite and to Bella's relief not angry. She nodded vaguely and Pepper motioned for her to go first to spare the guys staring at her like idiots.

They climbed the stairs and went into the bedroom. Bella plopped down on the edge of the bed and waited for Pepper to say something. ( okay so this conversation switches between tony and rhodey and happy during bella and pepper's conversation upstairs)

"Well…" Bella trailed off

"Well for starters how long have this been going on between you two" she asked

"Three days" Tony told Rhodey and Happy downstairs. They exchanged looks before looking back at Tony.

"Why didn't you tell us" Rhodey demanded

"We're kinda taking this one step at a time" Bella sighed

"And you couldn't have called me" Pepper asked

"I wanted to, but Bella's scared about what everyone will think" Tony sighed

"How come" Happy asked

"I don't want to make people believe I'm dating my boss for his money or fame or anything" Bella admitted. Pepper smiled at her and walked over to give her a hug.

"You're not mad"

"No way. It's obvious you guys love each. A lot" Rhodey said

"Yeah. We're really happy for you guys" Happy agreed

"Bella, don't you dare think about what other people think about your relationship. You love him and obviously he loves you" Pepper said gesturing around the room

"You guys rock" Tony said smiling at his two best friends

"Thanks Pepper. I really needed that" Bella said smiling at her trustworthy friend and hugged her.

"You're welcome. Now let's go back downstairs" she said "And Bella? You may wanna put some pants on" Bella looked down and nodded.

The girls walked down the hallway giggling and talking, when Bella paused.

"Pepper, I have to tell you something important. But you have to promise you'll hear me out"

"Yeah sure. What is it" Bella took a deep breath and sighed.

"I work for S.H.I.E.L.D"


CLIFFIE!
