Chapter 18
Tony woke up and got out of bed at 6 a.m, then ran down the stairs. He decided to make her breakfast and hoped that he wouldn't burn down the mansion.
"Jarvis" he called
"Yes sir"
"How do I make breakfast without burning the house down"
"Might I ask why, sir" Jarvis asked
"I suggest following the directions"
"You know I hate following directions" he grumbled
"Yes but unless you want to successfully make Ms. Swan breakfast, I suggest you do it" Tony sighed reluctantly.
"I guess I better start reading then huh" he asked
"Most likely, sir"
"Well, let's get cookin" he said clapping his hands together.
Three hours later, Bella woke up alone and frowned. She got up and stretched before standing up.
"Jarvis, where's Tony" she asked
"Mr. Stark is currently in the kitchen" he answered
"The kitchen? That's weird" she mused "Did he say what he was up to"
"He said it was a surprise. Though he did insist that you stay upstairs until he's done"
"He knows I hate surprises" she mumbled sitting back down the bed.
"I know that, ma'am and so does he" Jarvis said assuring her.
"How much longer will he be"
"Let me check"
Back down in the kitchen Tony was covered in flour on almost every inch of his body.
"Sir, Ms. Swan requests to know how much longer you'll be"
"A few more minutes. I just need to figure out how to cook the bacon" he murmured "How is it that I'm a multi-millionaire genius but I don't know how to fix my own girlfriend breakfast"
"I don't know. I'll tell her a few more minutes"
"Yes that's good. Thank you Jarvis" he said "Tell Bella that we get some free movies on Demand"
"Yes sir. Will that be all"
"That's it. Thanks"
"Anytime sir"
Back upstairs, Bella laid on the bed flipping through channels.
"Ma'am. Mr. Stark has informed me that he should only be a few more minutes" Jarvis said "He also told me to tell you that you receive free movies on demand"
"I guess I'll just watch some movies wile I wait" she sighed. "Let's see what we got"
"Ma'am? They currently have Percy Jackson and the Lightening Thief playing"
"Sounds like a good idea to me"
Half an hour later, Bella was halfway through the movie when the door started to open.
"Tony is that you" she asked
"Yes it is" he said kicking the door open to reveal him carrying a tray of food "And with breakfast"
"Did you make all of this" she asked sitting up as he sat down next to her.
"Yup. And you better appreciate it because I had to follow directions" he said
"Aw. Well if you must now I really and truly appreciate it" she said kissing his cheek
"Thanks. Now let's eat"
After breakfast was finished, they laid down and watched the Tim Burton Alice in Wonderland movie. Tony rested his head in Bella's lap and looked u at her.
"Did you enjoy it" he asked
"Yes I did. Though I didn't know you cooked"
"Neither did I. Amazing how simple directions can turn into something special"
"And quite appetizing" she added.
"I'm sorry to interrupt, but General Fury is on the phone. He needs Ms. Swan at the S.H.I.E.L.D Hellicarrier A.S.A.P" Jarvis announced. Tony groaned loudly and Bella giggled.
"Tell him I'll be there in a half an hour"
"Yes ma'am" Bella shook Tony and he shook his head.
"I'm not moving. I'm too comfortable" he protested. Bella rolled her eyes and pushed his head out of her lap. She got up and he sat up pouting.
"Oh come on, Tony! I don't do that when you have to go save the world, do I" she asked
"No. But it's not the same" she looked at him skeptically and he shook his head "Okay so it's the same. But still"
"but still nothing. Listen I'll be back before you know it, okay" she asked slipping on her uniform
"fine" he huffed and she kissed him softly.
"Ma'am, I hate to interrupt again but your father is on the phone. He wishes to talk to you" Jarvis informed her.
"Charlie's on the phone" she asked. She hadn't talked to her dad since she was transferred to Yale and started working with S.H.I.E.L.D.
"Yes ma'am"
"Where's my cell phone" she asked. Tony picked up from the bedside table and tossed it to her. He was surprised that she caught it since she wasn't paying attention to the fact that he threw it towards her. She looked towards him and smirked before picking up the phone "Hello"
"Hey Bella" she smiled as she heard the voice of her father on the other end.
"Hi Dad! How are you"
"Great though I have to know, what on earth picked up your phone" he asked. Bella let out a small giggled before answering
"That was Jarvis, Tony's AI. He's kind of like a computerized butler as Tony likes to put it" she said casting a glance at him who was smiling widely.
"tony… that's your boss right"
"Yeah, Tony Stark. He thought Jarvis could help me out with my job"
"So, how are you. Meet anybody… special"
"I'm fine, though work can be a little tedious. But that's what happens when you work for Iron Man" she teased and Tony feigned hurt. She rolled her eyes at him and he chuckled quietly. "but it's nothing I can't handle"
"Great to hear. How's work"
"You wouldn't believe all the friends I made here, dad. Si is kind of like a second home to me"
"That's wonderful to hear, Bells. So have you meet someone special"
"Yeah, I have a ton of friends"
"That's not what I mean Bells"
"So what do you mean"
"I mean do you have a, ya know… boyfriend"
"oh! That kind of special" Tony looked over to her and she shook her head frantically. Leave it to Charlie to bring up my love life, she thought. Oh well, he is my dad after all. "Umm… yeah I have"
"That's great. So what his name? What's he like"
"Well he's an amazing person. A great guy to be around and he's really funny"
"Good, good. He sounds great. What's his name"
"Did I mention that he's extremely giving and very helpful. He bought my house for me and helps pay my bills"
"Wow. He sounds like a winner. Does he have a name"
"I forgot to tell you that he's really smart"
"Bella, what's the boy's name" he demanded
"Uh… Tony"
"Tony, as in your boss Tony? That Tony" he asked making sure he heard her daughter correct "The same guy who's Iron Man"
"Yeah, that's Tony all right" she said laughing nervously. "Okay dad I know it may seem what I'm doing is pretty stupid and can be taken for as the wrong idea, but I love Tony. A lot. And he loves me too more than I ever thought was possible. And I don't care what other people say about it because I know it's not true"
"Alright"
"And I know you're gonna argue- what wait"
"I said alright. Obviously you're crazy about this guy, but be careful. You remember last time" she sighed. Of course he'd bring up him, she thought. Isn't it already bad he came back and found her at the worse time conveniently possible?
"I remember and I will be careful. Promise" she said. Tony walked up to me and wrapped his arms around me. She smiled at him and he smirked. "Dad, can you hang on for a sec"
"Yeah sure" I pulled down the phone and Tony snatched it from me.
"TONY"
"Hello Mr. Swan. I'm Tony Stark" he said running from the room.
"ANTHONY EDWARD STARK GET YOUR ASS BACK HERE NOW" she screamed chasing him down the stairs. They ran down the stairs and into Pepper.
"What's going on" she asked
"Tony has my phone whose talking to my dad" Bella screamed
"Tony" she groaned
"If I might say, you have a wonderful daughter. She's a hard worker, excellent organization skills, and an amazing runner" he said as he ran downstairs with her hot on her heels. He ran into the workshop and slammed the door behind him. "Could you hold for a sec"
"Um, sure"
"Jarvis override Bella's pass code for the workshop"
"Yes sir" he said
"Okay, I'm back" he smiled. Bella ran downstairs and tried to open the workshop door, but it was locked. She punched in her pass code for the workshop but it rejected it.
"Jarvis, what's wrong with my pass code"
"Mr. Stark had me override it"
"HE DID WHAT? ANTHONY EDWARD STARK YOU ARE DEAD" she screamed. Tony motioned to her that he couldn't hear her and she growled "I KNOW YOU CAN HEAR ME"
"What" he called out to her
"Everything okay" Charlie asked
"Um, I stole Bella's phone from her and locked her out of my workshop so she can't stop me from talking to you" he smiled
"Is it working"
"You have no idea" he chuckled
"More power to you" Charlie said
"I think we are get along great" Tony smirked and waved to a furious Bella.
