Hey ya'll! Sorry it's a little late, but here's chapter 28! (Oh my lord, that rhymes!) It looks like I'll be getting a part time job soon, thank god. One of the reasons I've been able to update so frequently is because I've been out of work for about a month now, and a good friend of mine will be my boos which is pretty cool. =) I hope you like this chapter, it's getting a little more stressful for them both, and I know a bunch of you hate Diego, or at least don't trust him, and that'll be touched upon in the next chapter. I hope you like the drama!


The next day I woke up and smiled as I heard the sounds of the sea crashing on the beach, and Dallas doing his Samantha Jones impression. I smiled and stretched before I got out of bed and went downstairs. "Good morning little sister!" Felipe smiled at me when I walked into the kitchen. Dallas had a hand on his jutted out hip and was waving his hand in an attitude Samantha voice.

"Good morning Felipe." I smiled and kissed Dallas' cheek.

"Felipe, isn't she such a Carrie?" he asked as he wrapped his arm around my waist.

"Yes I see Carrie Bradshaw in her." he nodded. "Pancakes?"

"Oh, yes please." I smiled and he handed a plate over to me. Pepper came down a few minutes later, also in her pyjamas and sat with us at the table.

"Did you talk to Bruce last night?" Dallas asked and I nodded.

"Sure did." I said and took a sip of my perfect coffee. "He's working with Tony and Betty a lot." I thought about what he had said and sighed.

"Baby girl, he is waaaay too smart to even think about doing anything." Dallas reassured me.

"Your boyfriend?" Felipe asked and I nodded.

"Yeah, he's working with his ex girlfriend- they're both scientists." I explained and he nodded.

"Yes, working with Tony Stark, right?" he looked at Pepper who nodded.

"Mmhmm." she nodded.

"Well, do not worry little sister," Felipe smiled. "He would be a fool to let anything happen."

"Thanks Felipe." I smiled.

"Felipe's taking us shopping today." Dallas grinned as he leaned on the counter.

"If you want to go." Felipe said. "If you want to stay here, that's fine with me."

"I'm always ready to go shopping." I smiled and Pepper grinned.

"Sounds like fun." she said.

"Well then, go get dressed and we'll go when you're ready." Felipe smiled.

After shopping we got back to the house and Felipe decided to have some people over, he had his cook come over and make a feast of amazing food, and invited a ton of people over.

"Are you enjoying yourself?" Diego asked as I sipped a drink.

"Very much." I said over the loud music.

"Come, have a drink with me!" he said as he took my hand.

"You're underage!" I said and he smiled.

"Like that stops anyone." he grinned and I laughed.

"This is so wrong." I laughed as he poured two shots.

"Are you ready?" he asked and I stared down at the unassuming clear liquid in the shot glass.

"I warn you, I've never been good at these." I said and he smiled before I sighed and nodded. "Okay." I said, we clinked shot glasses before throwing back the silver tequila. "Fuck!" I coughed as I wiped the corner of my mouth.

"You did good!" he grinned and I laughed.

"I can't believe I just did a shot with someone younger then my sister." I said and he smiled.

"Wasn't that bad, was it?" he asked and I shook my head.

"Not that bad, no." I smiled. "Go, have fun, I'll see you later." I said to him. He nodded and walked away as I set the shot glass down.

"Did I just see you do a shot with Diego?" Dallas asked walking over.

"What are you the alcohol police?" I asked with a laugh.

"If I was I'm afraid I'd have to strip search you."

"No you wouldn't."

"Oh really? Why's that?"

"Because I have a vagina."

"Oh yeah. Ew." he made a face and I laughed. "Who's that cutie Diego is dancing with?"

"A model I think..." I said as I looked over at them. "Kinda old for him though, don't you think?"

"Nah, still got a few good years." I nodded and looked at Dallas who smiled. "Felipe wants me to go to Brazil in a few months."

"That should be fun for you." I smiled.

"I have to get a passport." he said.

"Hey, guys!" Dallas and I looked over at Pepper who held her phone up. "Smile!"

"Photo op!" Dallas squealed as he wrapped his arms around me. I laughed, hugging him, and looking at Pepper while she took the picture.

"Hey, Big Wednesday," I said as a surfer guy walked by. "Get all three of us, huh?" I asked as I handed Pepper's phone to him. He nodded and Pepper got into the picture with us before he took a picture. Over the night Pepper got a lot more good pictures, she got one of me doing another shot (which I was annoyed with) she got one of her sitting on Felipe's shoulders, she got one of Dallas cooking (and then setting his shirt on fire), then me hosing him down with the fire extinguisher, she got ones of the nameless group of party people, and of everyone dancing.

"Come dance with me!" Diego said, as I sat on a chair.

"No, no." I waved my hand at him.

"Come on, one dance." he pleaded.

"Okay, fine." I sighed as I put my fruity, tropical, rum drink down. He helped me up and pulled me over to where people were dancing, he wrapped an arm around my waist and I laughed as I wrapped my arms loosely around his shoulders, mostly for support because at this point I was three sheets to the wind.

"Your boyfriend is very lucky." he said and I nodded as we danced.

"I wish he could have come with, but it was a girls weekend you know? Except for Dallas."

"Well Dallas poses no threat." he said with a laugh.

"I don't think anyone here poses a threat."

"You care for him that much?" he asked and I nodded.

"I think I love him." I said and he looked at me curiously.

"Have you told him?" he asked and I shook my head.

"Not yet, but I will the first chance I get." I said and then pulled away. "I need to go."

"Are you alright?" he asked and I shook my head. He helped me get upstairs to my bathroom, and held my hair back as I threw up everything I had eaten or drank.

"Will you get me my cell phone?" I asked and he found it for me. I dialed a number; it took me a few tries before I shoved it at him and told him the number to dial. I sat there next to the toilet, waiting for the ringing to stop.

"Hello?" a female voice answered the phone. I hung up the phone instantly and frowned at it. Why the fuck was she answering his cell phone.


Bruce couldn't help himself. He was working in the lab when the computer that Tony had been working on beeped. He looked over and realized there were some new pictures from Pepper's phone. He sighed, before he looked down. It wasn't important, he could handle not knowing. Then the picture from the night before entered his mind. No matter how much he told himself he trusted Minnie, it was the boy he didn't trust.

He finally tilted the screen towards him, and opened the pictures. Most of them were pretty normal; Pepper with some people, a ton of random people he didn't know, Minnie doing a shot. He shook his head at that. She would be feeling no pain at this point of the night. He continued to scrawl through the pictures, Dallas cooking, Dallas on fire, Minnie hosing him down with a fire extinguisher.

"She looks like she's having fun." Betty said from behind him.

"Yeah." he nodded.

"How old is she?"

"Twenty six."

"I didn't realize you liked them that young." she said and he looked back at her. She looked semi annoyed, and her lips were tight. It was a tell tale sign of Betty being jealous. He turned back to the screen before he said.

"Well I like her don't I?" he asked. He continued to flip through pictures until he got to one that made his breath stop and his heart rate increase.

Minnie dancing with the attractive boy from the picture the night before. His arm was around her and she was laughing. He wiped the computer screen and clenched his fists, before he took a few deep breaths.

"Hello?" he heard Betty answer a phone. She walked over to him a minute later. "Minnie called, but she hung up." she said as she put her hand on his shoulder. He looked back at her, then to his phone. He took it and slipped it into his pocket before he stood up and left the lab.
