I walked into Tony's house and closed the door quietly. After seeing Iron Man and having him telling me the very bad news, I figured my day wouldn't get any better. That was the kind of luck I had. I sighed as I locked the door and took off my sweater.

"Have a nice walk Ms. Bellfaire?" Jarvis asked.

"I suppose so, Jarvis. Is Mr. Stark around?"

"Yes, I will summon him for you."

"Thanks." A couple minutes later, I watched as Tony walked down the hallway. He greeted me with a smile, and then slightly frowned when I didn't return it.

"What's wrong Tianna?" he asked. I shrugged and walked up the stairs, he followed quietly. I went into my room and sat on the bed, Tony sat next to me. "Obviously there's something wrong dear. You can tell me, I mean I know we're not that close, but…"

"I saw Iron Man today…"

"Oh? And that's bad? I thought you wanted to see him."

"He gave me some bad news… Mr. Stark, I was drugged and my house was burned down on purpose." I felt tears start up and I tried hard to hold them back.

"Oh… I'm so sorry Tianna…" Tony said. "I'm sure the police are doing everything they can to figure out who did it."

My eyes began to get red as a tear fell down my cheek. Tony put his arm around me and hugged me close. I nestled my face into his shoulder and tears fell down my face like a waterfall. Tony rested his head on mine, rubbing his cheek against my hair. This made me cry more and Tony hugged me tighter. What he was doing reminded me of what my ex-fiancé would do whenever I was upset, which made me cry more because I didn't want to remember him and all that happened…

Tony lifted my face up with his fingers and looked at me. My eyes were puffy, there were still slight tears running down my cheeks and I felt horrible. I never cried like this around anyone, most of all, anyone who was Tony Stark. But, for some reason, I just felt comfortable around him. He wiped the tears off my cheeks and smiled.

"You look like someone was experimenting with makeup on you." Tony said and I chuckled. That was the first time anyone made me laugh while I was terribly upset. I pulled away, wiping the ruined makeup off with the sleeve of my shirt.

"Thanks, that's very comforting." I smiled at him.

"You're welcome darling. Now, no more tears. I don't want to have to see you cry again. If I do, it'll just break my heart. You're too pretty to be crying." Tony kissed me on the forehead and got off the bed.

"I'm sorry for being such a burden…" I said and looked up at him.

"You're not a burden. I quite enjoy having you around you know. You're great company, plus it's always a bonus to have a gorgeous woman living with me for a bit." He winked at me and left the room.

******************************************************************

Saturday night was ladies night for Pepper and I. We decided to hit a club for the night, with security following us of course. Tony wanted to tag along, considering he objected to us going out in the first place, because he was concerned for my safety. We let him come, but Pepper and I agreed to not be around him at the club. We didn't want to deal with the fan girls, crazy ex-girlfriends and one-night-standers.

Pepper was wearing a cute pair of pumps with a very daring V-neck silk blouse that showed the outline of her white lace bra. She had on a black leather pencil skirt that stopped above her knees to match everything else. Tony decided on wearing a dress shirt and a pair of black jeans. I do have to admit, he looked good, as did Pepper! Me, on the other hand, since I had such a stressful week, I decided to go out and beyond to have a good time. I was wearing a pair of red stilettos that had golden spike studs on them with a leather black mini-dress. We were a great looking group!

At the club, the music was loud and the place was full. Club 911 was the talk of the town these days, as it played old music and new music. I always favored the oldies but goodies. Pepper and I split away from Tony because as we predicted, tons of girls were cornering him. Our security guards were dressed as club folk so it wasn't obvious, but even they couldn't stop the girls from over-taking Tony.

Pepper and I were dancing with each other until some dude asked her to dance. She almost declined until I told her to go ahead. The song What Is Love by Haddaway was playing so I headed to the bar and sat on the barstool. I ordered a strawberry daiquiri, yum! The bartender decided now was a good time to flirt with me, seeing as I just ordered an alcoholic drink. He was cute, and the drink was on him, but I still turned him down nonetheless.

"Hey sexy." I turned in my seat to find Tony standing there. I smiled at him.

"Hey! What happened to the girls?" I asked, looking over his shoulder.

"I finally got rid of them. You'd think they've never seen a celebrity before…"

"Indeed…" I rolled my eyes at him.

"Care to dance?" he asked and held out his hand. I wasn't too sure if it'd be safe or not. "What are you afraid of? I don't bite… unless you want me to." He winked at me. I sighed and placed my hand in his.

"You're so cheesy." I said as we walked to the dance floor.

"No, I just know what girls are into these days." He smirked at me and twirled me around.

"Ah…" I listened closely as another old song was just finishing. I thought to myself, Love Leads to Madness by Nazareth. Good song. The next song started playing and I instantly began moving my hips to the beat.

"You know this song?" Tony asked, trying to move to the beat himself. I couldn't help but giggle at his attempts.

"Rum and Redbull by Beenie Man. Here, I'll help you." I placed my hands on his hips and moved them to the beat until he was able to do it himself.

"Thanks! I'm not used to this kind of music…"

Tony and I danced together while everyone else was watching. Once the song was over, people were coming up to us, saying we made a great couple. I blushed every time someone said that, I have no idea why. Pepper and her dance partner came over and we all sat at a table near the bar. We ordered some drinks and chatted for a while.

A slow song came on, P Diddy's I'll Be Missing You. Tony asked me to dance again, I agreed even though this song brought back too many memories I tried so hard to forget. No matter, maybe dancing with Tony would help me forget, even just for a little bit. Pepper and her guy decided to dance too. We were all now slow dancing in the middle of the dance floor. It was graceful and kind of romantic in a way. I didn't mind being so close to Tony, and I felt kind of sad. Mostly because I knew things would be back to normal the next day…

******************************************************************

Why are Sunday mornings always so… dreadful? I hated Sundays almost as much as I hated Mondays. There I was, sitting on the couch at 10:30 AM drinking my glass of orange juice. After last night, getting home at 3 AM, taking a shower and then finally getting into bed at 4, I have no idea why I was up so early.

"Whatcha watching?"

"Food Network…There's nothing else that's very interesting at this time on Sundays…" I sipped my orange juice.

Tony walked past the couch and stood, watching the TV. I looked at him and blushed slightly. He was shirtless, his torso was wet and so was his hair while his waist had a towel wrapped around it. I couldn't help but think how sexy he is when his hair was wet. Then an old memory came to me, the time when I woke up in Tony's bed and he was getting dressed. I took another sip of my orange juice, watching him over the tip of the glass and smiled to myself.

"Like what you see?" he asked. I choked on my drink and blushed more, I didn't know I was staring, nor did I know he had seen me staring! Tony smirked and laughed. I liked his laugh, and his smirk. Come to think of it, I was beginning to like everything about this man. Hmm…

"Don't flatter yourself. I was just wondering why you didn't get dressed before you came downstairs." I stuck my tongue out at him and turned to the TV.

"Well, I don't like getting dressed as soon as I get out of the shower. Plus, I didn't think you'd mind all that much, considering it is my house gorgeous. By all means, if you want to not get dressed after YOUR shower, be my guest. I wouldn't mind darling."

"Pfft…" I finished my drink as Tony sat down beside me.

"Do you know if Pepper will be coming in today?"

"No, and I doubt she will. I mean, her and that guy did leave together. She seemed pretty excited about it, so who knows what happened between them." I grabbed my glass and got up from the couch.

"Probably what didn't happen between us." He said and smacked my butt playfully.

"Hey! Hands off the merchandise there buddy!" I said and walked towards the doorway.

"Are you saying I'm able to buy what you have?" Tony teased.

"No, I'm saying you have to earn it." I smirked to myself and left the room.

"Damn…"
