Hey guys. I promised I'll try to update more. Sorry for the delay. Again.

Stark Mansion

She looked right into his eyes. Those incredible brown eyes. She didn't know how many times she lost herself in those eyes. She felt his hand on her face when she leaned forward and his lips met hers. It was a tender kiss. A sweet kiss, but it got passionate. They fell on the couch while they got rid of their clothes. "I… I don't think we should do that. Not now. It would be too early." She stumbled. He sighed, but nodded and handed her the clothes. "I want you so much, but you're probably right. We can do it another night. Waiting makes it more fun." They dressed and decided to watch a movie instead.

There were calm breathes. He was asleep. He looked so peaceful in his sleep. So unbelievable handsome. She snuggled against a body and closed her eyes again. Tired. She was just so tired. All she wanted to do was sleeping. Who could have guessed this day was going to be so exhausting. It was a normal day. Nothing special. Still she was so tired. So when he invited her to stay she said yes, immediately. Without any more thinking. Without hesitation. There was no time for second thoughts. No time for regrets. She wanted to be here, because he wanted her to stay. And she knew he meant it. He wanted her. He wanted her so badly. When they kissed it felt perfect. It felt so right. She always knew he wanted her. She just never realized what it meant for them. For their friendship. At this very moment she didn't care. Nothing mattered anymore. She was too tired to think. Too tired to stay awake any longer. Sleep was her choice. It was a good choice. Everyone needs to sleep once in a while. Even though she tried to stay awake as much as possible.

The next time she woke up, she heard voices. She realized she wasn't at home in her bed. She slept on the couch right next to the one she chose to be with. The one she felt in love with so long ago, but always hesitated to tell him the truth. And now she was sleeping on the couch, by his side. And it felt like she belonged here. It was all she cared about. The voices seemed so close, but yet s far away. She wasn't going to open up her eyes. Open up her yes meant to face reality. She wasn't ready for reality. She wanted to be close to him. As long as she could. "Shh. You will wake them. They look so peaceful, don't they?" She heard a voice and didn't bother to look who this voice belong to. She knew exactly whose voice it was. She wanted to sleep again. Just like him. He slept the whole time or he was a damn good faker. When she felt his arm around her hips she felt like she was home. No one should take that feeling from her anytime soon. It was too good. "What happened between those two?" another voice asked. Well, that was an excellent question. She could open her yes and explain it, but she was still too tired to do it. They would figure out on their very own. They weren't dumb. But their question made her think about the day and how they ended up here. It had been a exhausting day, but she would still call it the best day of her life.

12 hours earlier

She wasn't going to look at him. It would be too obvious this way. Man, she felt his eyes on her. It somehow felt so good. But it wasn't right to look back. People would know. People would feel there was something going on between them. She wasn't ready to let people know yet. Maybe some time in the decent future. Maybe she was okay with it until then. She didn't know how to explain her feelings to other people. She didn't know what to say. People wouldn't understand. People would judge her. That was what people always did. They judged things they didn't understand.

They wouldn't understand what's between the two of them. They wouldn't understand the unique love. They wouldn't understand how she could love him and didn't know if it would last. Because he was a player. People knew that about him. They knew about his history with girls. And she didn't know what attracted her to him. She knew he could beak her heart within seconds.

He loved the look on her face while she tried to concentrate on the papers in front of her. He liked the way her hairs fell into her face every now and then. He knew it wasn't right to stare at her like this, but he couldn't stop himself from doing it. She was just so beautiful. Sometimes he asked himself, if she knew about her beauty. She could have every male person in this room and she must know about it. Finally he forced himself to look at his papers. Would be embarrassing for him to continue starring at her like this. He knew people saw him starring. Normally he wouldn't give a shit, but he knew she didn't want people to know. So he tried his best to cover up a little bit.

The female population wouldn't understand why her and not one of them. Hell, he didn't even know why her. She was special. She was better than all those other girls he had slept with. He simply knew she belonged to him. She belonged to him since day 1. He could do this. He could make this work. Though they struggled from time to time. He knew they could make it. They would last. Someone just needed to make the first step today. He should just talk to her afterwards. Yeah, he would just talk to her. Like friends do.

Finally their was a break. She got really bored the last 10 minutes. It was hard to concentrate when you knew someone is watching the whole time. She knew he was doing it. Watching her. She knew it was hard for him. The last weeks were confusing as hell. There were ups and downs. She laughed and she cried, all because of him. He made her so insecure and yet so confident. She should talk to him. Ask him where they were standing now. Were they friends or was there more? Did they have a relationship now? Love was a very confusing thing, but she was willing to give it a try. She tried because of him. He was worth trying. And she hoped she was worth trying as well. He never had a serious relationship before. So there was a risk to take.

"Hey you." She heard his voice and decided to look at him. For the very first time this day. The whole morning she had avoided his look. She had avoided looking into his eyes. She gave him a smile. He deserved one. She had been so cold to him for days now. She had been confused, but now it was okay. She understood now. "Hey yourself." She answered and he smiled. Gosh, she loved his smile. She could always tell when he faked it and when it was genuine. This one was a genuine smile and it made her happy. They looked at each other none of them said anything else. Sometimes silence was a blest. Why did people always try to talk as much as they could when silence was just fine. There was no need to talk and talk. "You wanna have lunch with me?" he broke the silence. She looked at him in surprise. Of course they ate lunch before, but after these days of avoidance, she was happy he wasn't mad at her.

Lunch was funny. They laughed so much. She missed laughing with him. He had missed him. How could she be so stupid and question his feelings for her? How could she be so blind to see that everything he told her came from his heart? She was glad she got over it. She wanted to trust him. She wanted to believe in his love for her. Love was such a wonderful feeling. Why not share it if someone who felt the same way? She would never let him go. Not anymore. He was hers. He had always been hers. She had just been too blind to see.

They shared some dessert. Too much sugar. He smiled at her when he fed her. It was funny. It was going to be a great day. He could feel it in the air. He paid for the lunch, though she did want to pay for her own. But he tried to be a gentlemen and he had the money to be one. So why not invite his girlfriend? She was his girlfriend, right? She should have been a long time before. They belonged together.

She wanted to do something fun. He had fun in mind. Dirty fun in his bedroom. But not now. Wouldn't be perfect if they did it now. And he wanted their first sex to be perfect. Not necessarily planned, but perfect. Planning was always a bad thing to do. It should come naturally. In his room, taking of all their clothes one by one. That would be very nice.

Well, back to reality. They decided to visit Santa Monica Pier. Maybe a little bit childish, but they didn't mind at all. They wanted to spend some time together and the pier was working for them. So they ate a lot of popcorn and got on the ferris wheel. When they were at the highest point he suddenly kissed her and she just smiled. Life was good. It hadn't been lately, but now life was good. She was sitting in a ferris wheel and was eating cotton candy. Afterwards he bought her a chain of sweets. Yeah, being childish was great. He held her hand and she didn't mind. Nobody saw them so why not?

They decided to go to the beach. It was magical to be here when the sun was going down. She felt a little cold and he gave her his jacket. He was such a sweet guy sometimes. She kissed his cheeks and sat down in the sand with him. They were good for each other. She loved to spend so much time with him without him being all cocky and shit like that. He always tent to be cocky around females, but today he was very sweet and polite. It was a joy.

So when it got dark and they decided to head home, she just parked her car in front of her house and stepped into his. She wasn't going to spend the night by herself. Today was too good to spend the night by herself. He simply smiled and they drove around without a destination. They just drove around and took silly photos whenever they stopped somewhere. Damn, they were crazy. Crazy in love. It felt great to be in love. Even if the one she was in love was a playboy.

After a while they decided they were too tired to do something else now. When he invited her in she said yes without any hesitation. She said yes to this relationship. She said yes to all her thoughts. Maybe her life was going to be good now. She was going to be fine. And then they kissed and touched each other, but she didn't know if she was ready for it. And when they fell asleep she didn't care to snuggle at him, because here was where she belonged. Emma Rhodes belonged to Sebastian Stark and she didn't care about anything else right now.

Present time

"That's my daughter Tony. With your son!" Rhodey voice got louder and she couldn't fake her sleep any longer. They were just too loud. Sebastian woke up as well. He looked at them in confusion. "What the fuck?" he asked and let go of Emma. The girl already missed his touch as she sat up. "Hi dad." She greeted and Tony could hear the fear in her voice. She was scared. Scared of Rhodey. "What are you doing here? With him?" Rhodey was very angry and grabbed her arm. He didn't want his daughter to be with Sebastian Stark. That boy had a bad influence on her.

"Calm down Rhodey." Tony tried to talk to his best friend, but Rhodey didn't want to talk to anyone. He wanted to get Emma out of here.

"We are going home now." He said and Emma looked at Sebastian. Sebastian looked at Tony. Tony looked at Pepper and Pepper? Well, she had no one else to look at. Damn it.

"Did you sleep with her?" Rhodey ask Sebastian and the boy knew he better tell the truth or Rhodey would kill him. Tony wasn't sure what to do. Pepper neither.

"No I didn't. I didn't sleep with her. I swear I didn't touch her Rhodey." Rhodey wasn't really convinced. This boy slept with so many girls so far. He was even worse than Tony.

"He says the truth daddy. We didn't have sex. Please dad, you're freaking hurting me!" Emma said and Rhodey let go off her. He didn't want to hurt his princess. He just tried to protect her. Protect from guys like Sebastian. "Well, I'll be waiting in the car." He waved Tony and Pepper goodbye and walked outside.

Emma looked at Sebastian. He looked back at her and smirked. "What's there to smirk Sebastian?" she asked in a bitchy tone. She was annoyed now. Her dad had ruined her night. Had ruined their peace. "You look so pissed." He explained and she couldn't help it. She smiled at him and gave him a soft kiss. "Well, good night Sebastian." Tony had held Peppers hand and as the teenagers were kissing they smiled at each other. These two were so sweet. Emma walked to her dad's car. She didn't say a word. She was angry and her dad should know that.

"So, Emma and you?" Tony asked the obvious. "I think I'm in love with her." Sebastian smiled and Tony understood. Since he was with Pepper he understood such things as love and all the crap about feelings and so on. And he knew his son meant it. Who could have guessed the Stark men would fall in love someday?
