He looked over at her with a smile on his face as he nodded at her, “I know, I know. I wish I didn’t spring it on you like that.” He nodded, looking down at her. His eyes fixed on her lips, wishing they were alone so he could kiss her like a mad man. Of course, Tony was smart but, not smart to decipher the cryptic talk women always used.
His lips formed in a pout, “You are no fun, Pepper.” He teased as she continued to glance at her damn phone. He smirked, knowing who she was texting and why she was waving Tony off like that. He felt a phone being put in his hand and looked down at it with a questioning look. He read it, smiling, quickly typing in his response. Really? Are you sure? He handed back her phone.
Of course, any right, under the age of 50 woman would love to be more than a one-night stand with Tony and Alice was the only one who could win that prize. She didn’t like him for just his wealth, fame, or his looks. She liked him for him and it comforted him; made him feel normal. Every single girl he had been with for a shag was the same, they acted all arrogant, and always played hard to get. So Tony knew how to get them expect Alice, she never backed down from him. He was the one who turned and waved his white flag of truce, not her.
He smirked, not letting Obadiah know anything for once. Hey, make the man sweat a little. Tony did enjoy making people think about him, more than they should and wants them to think they had him figured out and then—BAM, they didn’t. He looked over at Alice and then Obadiah, “Alice, she was a captive like me.” He nodded before, walking again. Tony looked over at Ob with a smirk on his face. Ah, the man was having a “heart attack”, good. Tony pulled his sunglasses back on and began to stand up. He held up a hand, quieting the press, “The company will not open while I know that the people who took me hostage are using my weapons.” He turned to the blone, lowering his sunglasses slightly with a smirk dancing on his lips. “I’m not hiding her, I’m protecting her. ‘Who is she?” he mimicked slightly before looking down at the blonde, “It obviously isn’t you, so no need to frett.”
He pushed the sunglasses back up and began to walk toward the exit, ignoring every single reporter in the building that were screaming to get his attention. He took out his phone, texting Pepper to see if she could take Alice to his place. Well, their place or soon it would become. He pushed open the doors and began to head toward his car, wanting to go home and do some serious cuddling with Alice before going to sleep. He took a sharp, deep inhale and exhaled loudly, “Life is good.”

"Well I didn't say that I didn't like the surprise. I was just...surprised." Alice said with a nod, as seh blinked up at him. She too felt like she wanted to kiss this adorable, cocky, conceited, kind-hearted, loving, passionate, ambitious, determined man infront of her. She did love the idea of them together, and the fact that they were together.
Pepper chuckled. "Well you have Alice to have fun with now." Pepper teased with a grin, as Alice blushed at the double meaning Pepper ensued. Pepper was texting her boyfriend, of course, and as well as getting a hold of Obadiah for the presentation of Tony at the press conference. Alice blinked up at Tony and beamed with a nod towards him, her way of saying yes. She took the phone from him and typed, "Si, senor." She smirked.
Tony was right. She did like him for him. She didn't care if he had all the money in the world, or none at all. She liked his personality, and his feelings towards other people and towards herself. His looks was the plus. The downside was that he was so famous. If he was a normal guy, which Alice doubted that their life would be anything but normal, she would still be falling for him. Did Alice just think that? Yes she did.
Obadiah's eyes widened, but didn't say anything at first. "And this is your girlfriend?" He asked, his voice small. Damn. Obadiah did not expect that coming. Rather, he knew that he will use this "Alice" so Tony can get hurt by her. Evil Obdaiah mentally grinned at that notion. Yes, Tony having a girlfriend would be quite useful to Obadiah's plans. The blonde gasped and huffed softly, obviously offended, but didn't say anything more.
Pepper got a text message from Tony. She looked over at Alice and smiled. "Shall we take a trip to Tony's homes?" Alice nodded. She just wanted to take off her makeup and grab some comfy clothes, probably Tony's pajamas, and snuggle with him and go to sleep. Alice was now running on only 6 hours or so of sleep, and she could take all the sleep she could get. Alice and Pepper made their way to the car that they arrived in. And soon, Alice was dropped off at Tony's house. She guessed that Tony made it back to his house faster than she did. She knocked on the door, with her hand covering her mouth as she yawned.

(bah so short, sorry!)
Tony smirked, “I didn’t feel like I had to ask if you liked it, I know you did.” He nodded and remained silently. It was pointless to try and aruge-well, disagree on how she felt. He smiled down at her, he wrapped an arm around her;trying to bring her as close to him as possible. There was no way, the woman was ever going to leave his side. ----- Tony turned to Obadiah, “No, she’s the woman who I offered to live with me for no reason at all.” His words dripped with sarcasm as he spoke, “Of course, it is.” He hissed in a low voice. Tony turned to the crowd, put on a smile and waved to the photographers and fans alike. He rolled his eyes as the blonde huffed, before he opened the door to his car. He got in, looking at Obadiah, “I mean it, Ob, the company is closed.” He paused before shutting the door. Time to go home and go to bed. Tony mumbled softly as he was sprawled across his bed, face down in his pillow. He heard th knock on the door and groaned, “Remy, get the door.” He muttered to the robot in the corner of his room. His fingers, grabbed a pillow and brought it over his head, letting himself become surrounded by darkness. He listened as the robot made its way to the door and let whoever it was in. He knew it was either Pepper or...Alice. Even though, he should have bolted up, he stayed put. “Come on in here.....” he called out in a dazed, sleepy, stupor.

Alice rolled her eyes towards Tony, but still smiled. He did know that she would like it if he asked. Or demanded. Either way, he was too good to pass up. Nice, and charming, and hard-working. She smiled even more when he pulled her into him. She rested her head on his shoulder as he brought her even closer to him. ----- Obadiah's eyes widened even more. "So, it's serious?" He asked, surprised when he said that it is. He looked over at Tony. He surely wasn't the type to make rash decisions like this. "Are you sure Tony?" He asked, before Tony shut the door and drove off. Obadiah sighed as he watched the car take off down the road. He himself had to get back to his office at the corporation to continue his brainstorming of his plans. No time to waste, as Obadiah would say.
Alice yawned gently, having a small bag with her, which thankfully, Alice took her makeup off in the car so she looked a lot younger than her actual age, but still wore the dress and cardigan. Too bad they didn't stop over at her apartment to grab some clothes. She blinked as she followed a robot into the house, and followed it to the dark bedroom. "Hi sleepy." Alice said softly, with a small grin on her face. Aww. He was too cute sprawled on his bed. He and the bed looked very inviting. "Do you think I can borrow a shirt of yours? I don't want to sleep in my dress." Alice asked softly, stepping into the room more, watching his form on the bed.

Tony merely nodded to Obadiah whose eyes seemed to be going out of their sockets. He ran a hand through his hair and looked at the older man. The man who had become a mentor, and almost a father figure to him. “Of course, I’m sure, I’m always sure, Obahiah.” He pulled the door shut and looked out the window as Obadiah stood there, looking what seemed to be dumb-struck or so it seemed to Tony. Tony let out another sigh and closed his eyes.
Tony lifted his head, allowing the pillow to fall off his head and onto the ground. A small smile crossed his face as he stared at Alice before nodding to her, “Yeah, sure, second drawer on the right.” He ran a hand through his now-bed head hair and stared at her with sleepy eyes. He chuckled, “Get in, I’m cold and I need some warmth.” He patted the bed before letting his head fall back into his slightly wet pillow. Yes, wet, he drooled sometimes...everyone has before. He closed his eyes as he listened to her going through his drawers. A smile danced across his face as he waited for her to join him.

Alice beamed at him when he looked up and smiled at her. Awh. He was too cute for words. She nodded as she slipped off her heeled sandals, sighing happily as her bare feet rested on his shag rug. So soft and fluffy. Alice could have melted right there. She trotted over to his dresser on the right and opened the correct drawer, humming softly. "Hey now, let me get dressed, will ya?" Alice asked softly with a small giggle as she picked out a light blue t-shirt. She slipped her cardigan off of her shoulders and folded it ontop of his dresser. She slipped her dress off as well as her bra and folded her dress and placed it and her bra ontop of her cardigan. She pulled his t-shirt on and laughed softly seeing that the shirt rested about five inches from her knees. She couldn't help that she was so tiny.
She looked at herself in the mirror over his dresser, happy that it wasn't a tall dresser where she would have to go on her tip-toes to see herself. She looked young, but then again, she was young. She smiled as she walked over to the empty side of his bed, the left side and climbed in, pulling the covers over her and sidling over to his warm body. Tony was right. His room was rather chilly. No wonder he needed the body warmth. She smiled as she felt an arm wrap around her form and pulled her closer, as she rested her head next to his, smiling at him.

His eyes registered her removing her clothes and he instantly beame alert. He looked up at her beaming him a smile, he ran a hand through his hair. He chuckled, watching her toes wriggle into his rug. Yeah, it was nice for a rug. He smirked, resting his head on his pillow whilst watchng her out of the corner of his eye. He closed his eyes for a moment, taking in the silence around them. A rumble echoed through his room, “I’d prefer you under-dressed but...” he trailed off, shrugging his shoulders. Tony let out a small sigh of content as he stared at the ceiling, waiting for Alice to join him and make him all nice and warm. His eyes roamed over to her and the sight of her in his shirt made him smile.
He smiled as she slipped into his bed, he turned to her and brought her body flush against his. A wolfish grin crossed his face before he nuzzled against her neck, his eyes slowly fluttering shut. His fingers grasped the bed sheets and brought them around her, tightly. He inhaled her sweet scent and smiled at her, opening his eyes to look at her for a brief moment. His brows knoted together as he studied her before, closing his eyes. He was tired and he knew she was also.

Of course with the room being dark, Tony didn't see much. But tehn again, he did see her naked many times on account, due to being in that cave together. She giggled softly when he was watching her. "You know what I mean, silly." Alice teased with a grin over to him, as she slid on his shirt over her head. She smiled as she fingered the end of the large t-shirt. It was soft. A very luxurious type of cotton. Alice didn't care though. But if it was a scratchy type of cotton, she would have went into the bed in just her underwear. She looked over at him who was smiling at her. "Like what you see?" She teased with a giggle as she walked over to him.
She climbed into the bed and giggled when he nuzzled against her neck, feeling his goatee and mustache rub against her. She smiled as she felt herself growing warm, due to the added body heat. Alice sighed happily softly. Alice liked this. She blinked when he studied her face. "What?" She whispered softly, before snuggling into his arms, resting her head in the crook of his neck, kissing his neck gently as she closed her eyes. She yawned as she felt herself growing even more tired than before. Alice could definitely get used to this. Being in the same bed as Tony, night after night after night, and waking up to Tony's face, morning after morning after morning.

Tony contemplated whether he should turn on the lights to see her, he shook his head. Nope, the light would be to bright for his eyes, seeing as he slept in almost, total darkness. He grinned, shaking his head, “Can’t say that I do.” He teased her before, laughing softly. He watched her, amused with the fact she was staring down at the shirt in almost wonder. He snorted, “Of course, I do. You know that.” He nodded to her and grinned at her. If he had known, she would have gone to bed in her underwear if the shirt was scratchy, hell he would have given her that type of shirt. He ran a hand through his hair and leaned back into the pillows.
He grinned as she giggled, her scent filling his nostrils to the brim and then some more. He chuckled against her neck, entwining their fingers together as he warmed her. Tony’s head rested next to hers on the pillow, as she stared back at him. This woman never ceased to amaze him. He shook his head, “Nothing, Alice.” A grin slipt across his face as he brought her even closer to him. He ran a hand through her hair and smiled lightly, his eyes fluttering between opening and closing. Finally, he was allowing himself to succumb to slumber. He was warming up to the idea she would always be here in his house, never having him to come pick her up or anything. A smile formed on his lips, she would also be keeping his bed very warm.

Alice giggled softly. She grinned over at him. "It was also a rhetorical question, hun." Alice said with a laugh as she made her way to the bed. She did quite like this t-shirt. It was so soft. And she knew that if he knew about her not liking scratchy shirts, she would be half-naked already. But then again, he was already half-naked himself. Just on those boxers of his. No wonder Tony was cold.
She smiled when he chuckled against her neck. She smiled when he entwined his fingers with hers. God. He was amazing. She smiled when he said nothing. Alice had no idea what he was thinking in his mind. She sighed softly before snuggling into him, kissing his forehead gently. Alice could definitely get used to this. And soon, they were both fast asleep, just happy to be in the bed with each other. Alice awoke about nine hours later, and looked to the window, which showed the nighttime outside. It was about 9 at night. She looked towards the bed, and seemed like it was empty. Alice thought to herself as she got up and went to his drawer to pull on one of his gym shorts.
"I wonder where he went."
She muttered to herself as she left his bedroom and went down the stairs. She then went down to the basement to see a note on the glass door. "I'm in here Alice-the code to get in is 25423" Alice blinked at this and took out her cell phone from the shorts that she borrowed from Tony and her heart fluttered when she realized that it was her name but in numbers. She looked up and pressed the numbers into the small box and walked inside. "Tony? What are you doing?" She asked, as he was sitting in a chair, all hooked up to various things, as his robot Jarvis was helping out.

He laughed, “I know.” He ran a hand through his hair, pulling on it slightly before, rubbing his goatee. His eyes couldn’t help but travel over as she made her wat to his bed. His. A lazy smirk danced across his lips as he watched her. He always liked that shirt, and now? He really, really like that shirt...now that it was on Alice. Damn, he wondered if she would just wear that all the time, every day.
He smirked, god this woman was...well, she was something different. He couldn’t even describe her. She was everything he ever wanted and then some. Alice was different from most women; she surprised him. Tony had never been surprised before until, they met. He rubbed her arm slowly as they continued to snuggle up against each other. He smiled lightly before, his eyelids became lead. Just like that he was asleep with her in his arms. His eyes shot open slowly and looked around, he slowly slipped from her arms. He looked down at the arc and grimanced, well, he figured it’d have to be changed sometime. He shrugged his shoulders as he pulled a shirt and a pair of jeans on. He wrote a note to Alice and stuck it where she could find it. He looked back at her with a smile on his face before, he headed down into his “lair”.
-------
Tony’s head shot up as a voice entered his mind, he grinned, shrugging his shoulders. “Just putting in the new arc reactor.”He paused, brows furrowing in thought, “Come here. I need your help.” He waved off Jarvis and sat patiently in the chair, despite knowing all the bad possibilies of what could happen when he pulls out the old one. He shook his head, clearing those thoughts out of his mind, he looked over at her. A smile flitted across his lips as he looked at her. So young, so beautiful. He felt a lurch inside him and willed himself to become calm, hoping she wouldn’t notice his excitement of her being near him.

Alice grinned when he watched her walk over to him. She knew that guys liked girls in their clothes. Something about possession over the girl, or marking their own territory on the girl. Something sexist. But hey, Alice didn't mind one bit being his. In her mind, she was already his from the day they started to like each other.
And she was something? More like he was something. She couldn't say this enough, that if he was even dirt poor, she would love him. Wow. Love? Alice actually thought that much of Tony. But then again, her heart did flutter a lot more around him, but at the same time, she felt calm around him, and safe. She made a small noise in her throat of happiness as he rubbed her arm gently. She was definitely asleep. Alice found herself in a wonderful dream, of being with Tony in a log cabin in the woods, just warming each other up with their body heat and the fire in the fireplace roaring next to them. Again, just a great dream in her mind.
-------
Alice blinked as she made her way to him. "What do you need me to do?" She asked, as she looked over at him, rolling up his sleeve, since she was still in his t-shirt. She blinked at the robot who followed her actions. "Hi..Jarvis." Alice said with a smile towards the robot and the monitors. "Hello Alice. Please follow over to Tony. He does need your help so it may seem." Alice made her way over to him, and put her hand on his arm. "Judging from what you have in your hand, I'm guessing you want me to change the new one in and take the old one from you." Alice said with a smile, as she saw the heart monitor pick up slightly as she leaned in to kiss the corner of his mouth gently. She grinned as she pulled away, knowing that he was excited to be around her. Good. Thats how she felt around him too.

Tony shook his head slightly from laughter and continued to watch her. Hell, yes, it was posessiveness. Hell, it was more like him being jealous and protective of his girl. His. No one else’s. His brown eyes watched her as she walked toward the bed. Tony smiled, she was his. No one was going to take her from her, no one.
Had he known her before the capitivity well, he would have given up everything for her. Woah, everything? Chah, he would give it up in a heart beat without a single thought. He couldn’t even fathom what life would be like if they never met. Well, he knew it would suck, that’s for sure. He smiled as he watched breath become light and in sych with his. He closed his eyes, continuing to rub her arm gently and softly. Within seconds he was asleep and his arm was drapped across her. He dreamed a dreamless night like most nights.
-------
Tony snickered slightly as she blinked at him, “I need you to come here.” He smirked, chuckling softly, pointing his finger down to the ground right next to him. He ran a hand through his unkempt hair, chuckling at Jarvis. He’d have to program Jarvis to not repeat every single move someone does. Then again, Jarvis was learning human actions and what not. He shrugged his shoulders, chuckling as Alice came over followed by Jarvis. “Jarvis, please, monitor my health rating and make sure everything is in order.” He gave Alice a smile, chuckling, “Your intelligence never ceases to astound me.” He nodded as to answer her question and returned her kiss softly. His fingers picked up the arc, placed it in her hand. “There’s a small cord down in it, I need you to bring it out and hook it into the arc.” His fingers clasped the arc in the center of his chest and pulled it out with a slight grimance.

Alice never knew t hat the "womanizer" that she thought in her mind, was so cautious, careful, protective, possessive, analytical, vastly intelligent, charming, witty. And everything else. She never realized that he was having one-night stands, just because he wasn't ready for love, nor was he looking for it at that given time. And then hidey-ho! Alice dropped into his world (well not his world, but his situation at that time) and she and Tony were in a situation where they got to know each other as people, and knew that when they got out of the situation, they needed to be together, just because it was so normal for them to be together every day just like back in the caves of Afghanistan. She smiled at him, rubbing her arm gently as she fell asleep.
-------
Alice grinned when he pointed to her to come over to him. "Sure thing sir." She teased with a grin, though not caring that he was ordering her what to do. Hell, she had no idea what she was in for. Jarvis answered easily, "No problem Tony." as a monitor showed his heart rate, plus his bp and everything else that was health related. Alice grinned. "Hey, I was in graduate school after all." Alice did just graduate from her graduate school of UCLA, and not sure what to do just yet. Her trip to Afghanistan for a humanity project fell through, and now all Alice wanted to do was relax for a while, visit some family and then start up her business. Alice blinked when he handed her his old arc. Alice had an idea what to do with it. She blinked as she put the old arc onto the desk next to her. "Wait, so I put my hand in you and not let it touch the rim like Operation?" She asked. Well it was a live version of operation. Alice hated that game with a passion. But she knew that she had to do it. Alice let out a shaky breath as she dipped her hand in into the hole in his chest. "what is that?" She grimaced, feeling a substance that smelled bad, but she knew it wasn't water nor was it blood. She grabbed the copper wire and slowly got it out of the hole without it touching the sides. "I better get some kind of reward if this goes well." Alice muttered to herself as she held it out of his body, careful to not let it disconnect from the charger in his body. She watched as he hooked his new arc to the wire and slipped it onto his body. Her heart rate picked up. "Are-are you okay now?" She asked, wiping the sweat from her brow with her clean hand.

Yes, Tony Stark that was on the t.v and press was not the actuall Tony Stark. That per say, is only half of THE Tony Stark. There was an actual man underneath the celebrity, a man that had been pushed down to the bottom of a pit and hasn’t been let out until he met Alice, that is. He was ready to love, he wasn’t ready to love. He was scared to let someone in and see who he really is. Alice, she brought the real him out with a snap of her thumb. Tony didn’t even let Pepper or Jim see the real him, or rather the full real him. He needed her as much as she needed him and he needed Alice. He thought that—hoped Alice could bring the real him out to the press and show him that he didn’t have to fake anything or put up with them. He just needed someone else to push him.
-------
“It’s boss for you.” He grinned lightly at her and drummed his fingers against his chin, appearing to be impatient and annoyed. He chuckled, watching Jarvis quickly pull up everything without pausing to do so. He had to admit, he relied on Jarvis way to much. Tony was lazy as a box of rocks. He snickered, holding his hands up in mock defense. “Easy Alice, no need to bite my head off.” He ran a hand through his hair, staring at her as he did so. Yeah, he was proud of her for graduationg from UCLA, really makes him proud, that he has a smart girlfriend. Now, if the press ever finds out who she is..well, they’ll be shocked.He smirked at the thought and looked up at her, he laughed. “Exactly, like the game Operation.” He smiled lightly at the expression on her face. It was clear to him that she detested the game and wasn’t really happy about doing it on him. His fingers grasped her thin wrist, he stared dead into her eyes. “You can do it, I have faith in you.” He released her wrist and leaned back in the chair, closes his eyes for a moment. His irises open slowly as she dipped her hand in the hole, “Thats the arc reactor.“ he replied nonchalantly as she fished around for the copper wire. “Be very careful when pulling it out.” He inward tensed his muscles, just in case she accidently touched the sides. He chuckled, “Oh, I think you’ll like the reward a LOT.” He took the wire from her and attached the new arc. He slipped it back into the whole and turned it, locking it into place. Tony looked up at her, smiling, “Of course, I am okay.” He slipped off the chair, grabbing her and pulling her close to him all in one moment. He smiled down at her before crashing his lips onto hers.
