When Tony finished, it was 6:00 PM. My mother hadn't arrived yet, and I was thankful for that. Tony placed all the food on the table, and then stepped into the hallway. He smiled at me, realizing I had changed while he was doing his thing. He looked down at himself, and then ran up the stairs. I raised my eyebrow, and then waited at the door patiently. Tony came back down with changed clothes. I looked him up and down, gave him a smile and then the doorbell rang. I opened the door slowly and my mother busted through it.

"Darling!" she said and swung her arms around me.

"Ma…"

"Oh, we have so much to talk about deary!" she looked at Tony and grinned. "And who is this handsome man?" I watched as Tony walked up to her, shook her hand and introduced himself.

"Tony Stark, but you can call me Tony." Tony smiled at her.

"I would have called you Tony anyway dear, no matter if you wanted me to or not." Ma said. "My name is Bethany Bellfaire, but everyone calls me Beth."

"Well, Beth. I'll take your coat…" Ma smiled at him and let him take her coat. He hung it up in the closet and as soon as he got back, ma slipped her arm around his. I followed behind as they walked into the dining room.

"Wow, dear, this is gorgeous." Ma said. Tony pulled out a chair for her, she sat down. "You're such a gentleman!" Tony was about to pull my chair out when I shook my head at him. He could tell I wasn't very thrilled about her being here…

Once we were all settled at the table, I poured everyone some wine. As usual, Ma was being a chatter box as we ate our food. Tony seemed interested in everything she had to say. I stayed quiet, seeing as I've heard almost all the stories Ma tells people, even the embarrassing ones about me…

"So Tony, do you like being married to my daughter?" Ma asked. I instantly spoke before Tony could answer.

"Ma! We're not married!"

"Oh, I'm sorry. Are you two even in a relationship?"

"No! We're just friends. Come on Ma, really."

"Well, I can see the chemistry between you two; it's why I thought you two were!" Ma smiled that innocent yet evil smile. The one she always did when she was giving a hint about something. Tony was grinning the whole time, figures!

"There's no chemistry here, Ma. We are just friends, who are living together for the time being." I said and looked at Tony. I saw a bit of hurt in his eyes and instantly felt bad.

"Oh, I'm sorry I misunderstood the situation. Although, Tony, she once told me she would marry a guy who had a nice butt and if I remember correctly…" Oh god… Why me?! "She did say YOU had a nice butt…"

"MA!" I squealed and blushed 50 shades of red. Tony smirked and watched as I slumped in my chair, completely embarrassed.

"Did she now? Well, that's good to hear." Tony said and winked at me, which caused me to blush more.

"Yes, she's told me so many things about you. Though, I do think I should keep them to myself. I wouldn't want to embarrass her."

For the rest of dinner, I stuffed my mouth with food. I didn't want to engage in any conversation. I was too embarrassed to speak anyways. Ma always embarrassed me when my friends were around; it's why I never invited them over as a teen. Though, during some of her and Tony's conversations, I would clear my throat if Ma went too far. At least she got the hint…

When Ma finally left, I leaned against the door and sighed. Tony sat on the bottom step of the stairs and smirked at me. I rolled my eyes, offered to clean up and left the hallway. I entered the dining room, then cleaned up the table and washed the dishes. I figured Tony went upstairs to take a shower and I was right. I put the dishes away in the cupboards, hung the glasses on the glass rack and then turned the kitchen light off. I turned off all the bottom floor lights off, except for the hallway and then set the alarm.

Once done, I headed upstairs and took a quick shower to wash away the stress my mother had caused. While in the shower, I had thought of what Tony looked like while he showered. I blushed, hoping the thought would go away. It only got worse, because my next thought was what it would be like to shower with him. I rested my head against the wall as the water cascaded over my body. Was I in lust with Tony, or was I really falling for him? I knew that to be in love with someone, there would need to be some lust sneaking in. Ugh…

I walked into my room from the bathroom and sighed. I had a towel wrapped around my body and realized the bedroom door was open. I scurried over to it and closed it, then changed into my Batman pajamas. All my friends made fun of me because of them, but they were comfortable and I liked them.

There was a knock on the door and I opened it, and then peeked through the opening. Tony was standing there, so I opened the door some more. There he was; silk pajama pants, no shirt, hair still slightly wet. I was beginning to think he did this on purpose!

"Hi." Tony smiled.

"Hey." I hid behind the door so he wouldn't see my pajamas. "Look, I'm sorry about my mother… She can be quite eccentric."

"No worries darling. I like your mother, she's a real trooper. Anyway, I just wanted to say goodnight."

"Goodnight." I said and watched as Tony walked down the hallway. I was about to close the door when he spoke.

"Tianna?" Tony said and turned around.

"Yes Tony?"

"Do you really think I have a nice butt?" he asked. I blushed and hesitated to answer.

"Yes… But it's not like I stare at it all the time or anything." I sighed, blaming my mother for this.

"Okay, goodnight again!" Tony smiled and turned around again.

"Night…" I closed the door and went over to my bed. I pulled back the blanket, making room for me to slip in when there was a knock on the door again. I moved back to the door and opened it. "Tony, I really need my sl-…"

At that moment, Tony grabbed me, pulled me close to him and kissed me with so much passion that my knees buckled. I widened my eyes, and then closed them, enjoying the kiss. His grip on my arms loosened, as his hands slid down my skin softly. Tony pulled away from me, letting his lips linger on mine barely before he moved back completely. I opened my eyes, feeling the heat rush to my cheeks. Suddenly he began smirking; I'm assuming he read my mind because he broke the silence.

"Nice pajamas, Batwoman." Tony said, and then walked down the hallway and into his room. He waved at me before closing his door. I stood there in the hallway with a dumfounded look on my face. What just happened?

I walked back into my room, closed the door silently and slipped into my bed. I turned the lamp off and sighed, turning over onto my side. The curtains on the window were opened enough for me to see the moon. I looked at it, watching the clouds move passed. I was baffled about what just went on in the hallway. I didn't expect that at all, Tony really was full of surprises. Although, I do have to admit, that's was a great goodnight kiss, if that's what it was. I smiled to myself and drifted off to sleep.
