Part Sixteen

"No." You immediately responded.

Ton clicked his tongue. "Shame." He took a shirt and put it on before he gave you his attention. "What did you want?"

"I want to talk about Carol."You said.

Tony furrowed his eyebrows."Did she tell you something, or do something to you?"

"No, well... not recently."You said and mumbled out the next part. "I keep seeing her everywhere around the house."

Tony raised an eyebrow.

"And I can't help but remember what she did to me. Every time I see her. So, I don't think I can stay in the same house as her."

"What?" Tony asked.

"Look, I know she works for you and I'm fine with that. I want you to move me somewhere else, or something. You decide."

Tony's face now turned serious and he looked you up and down, making you uncomfortable.

He nodded his head in the end. "I'll think about it."

"Really?"You smiled.

"Yeah." Tony said.

"Okay, I'm gonna leave you to work now. Thank you for listening to me."You quickly said and walked out of the room.

Tony sighed and sat down on the bed, rubbing his hand over his face, thinking what to do.

It was past midnight and you couldn't sleep. You kept turning and tossing around in the bed. At the end, you turned on the light and sat up in the bed.

You heard a knock on your door and Tony peeked his head inside. "Hey, Princess. Can't sleep?"

You shook your head and Tony smiled at you. "Me either. What are you doing?" He asked and stepped inside your room.

"Nothing. Boring myself to death." You answered, making Tony chuckle.

"Come with me." He said, gesturing at you to follow him.

You were confused at first, but did as he asked. You got up from the bed and followed him down the stairs, and to the east wing.

"Where are we going?" You asked.

"You'll see." Tony said. "You up for watching a movie?"

"And you're taking me where exactly?"

"You'll see." Tony said again.

He stood in front of the door, which scanned his eye before allowing him to step inside. He placed his hand on your lower back and led you to the first door on the left side.

"After you." Tony said, opening the door for you.

You gave him a look before stepping inside. You were met with darkness. Nothing could be seen in the room and Tony blocked the only source of light when he stepped inside as well and closed the door.

"Shit." You let out when you felt your back slam against Tony's chest when you went to move backwards. "Sorry."

"It's fine, Princess." He said and turned the screen on.

You gasped when the screen that just turned on shined light on the rest of the room and you saw seats in front of the large screen, just like in the real cinema. "What?" You asked as you looked around.

"Do you like it?"

"I love it!" You said. You noticed the seats were a bit bigger than in the cinema and it looked like there were two connected into one. "You had this here the whole time?"

"Yeah."

"And you didn't tell me? You let me get bored?"

Tony laughed, "Sorry, sweetheart. Get comfortable, I'm gonna put on a movie. You want any snacks?"

"What do you have?" You asked and Tony opened up the cabinet, showing you every possible type of candy and snacks. Your eyes almost popped out of your head.

You picked some chips and went back to the first seat while Tony put in a movie. He came back and sat next to you, leaning on the seat and put his hand over the headrest, just next to your head. You looked at him with a raised eyebrow, but he just gave you a smile.

"Remember what happened the last time we went out?" Tony asked.

"You could've ended up dead?" You asked, not taking your eyes off the screen.

"I was thinking more of the kiss that happened during dinner." Tony said, staring at the side of your face.

"Why did you think of that?"

Tony shrugged, "I don't know. It just popped up into my head."

"Speaking of that night", you looked at Tony,"Why did you keep it from me?"

Tony knew what you meant. He closed his eyes and when he opened them, he found you staring at him, waiting for an answer. "It's not what you think. I wanted to protect both, you and Bucky."

"You wanted to protect the man who killed my parents?" You raised your voice.

"That's the thing. He didn't kill anyone willingly." Tony explained. "Hydra brainwashed him into killing for them. You should understand him."

"What?" You asked.

"It's true."

"You could've told me that from the beginning. There was no need to keep it from me."

Tony sighed, "I'm sure you wouldn't have listened to me and did the same thing you did, anyway."

"Maybe. Maybe I wouldn't. I guess we'll never know now, 'cause you decided to keep it from me and lie to me."

"Sweetheart-"

"Shhh, the movie is starting." You silenced him.

Through the whole movie, Tony didn't watch even a single scene of it. He spent the whole time looking at you as you argued with the characters, ranted and laughed.

The light from the screen illuminated your face and he thought you looked beautiful.

"What?" You asked, noticing Tony looking at your face. "I got something on my face?"

"Yeah, your beauty." Tony cringed at his own words, while your stomach fluttered.

You sank deeper into your seat and kept watching the movie. You noticed the popcorn on Tony's lap and reached out to take a handful of them, and noticed Tony's glare. "Hey, get your own, thief."

"You gotta let me take them." You said, popping them into your mouth. Tony raised an eyebrow and you smiled."I almost died."

He rolled his eyes and scoffed, "Is that gonna happen every time now?"

"Probably."You said.

Tony noticed how you kept turning around in the seat, uncomfortable. He grabbed your legs and you looked at him as he placed them in his lap.

"There we go." Tony smiled at you.

"Thank you." You whispered out.

Tony drew small circular shapes on your bare legs, making your body tense. You relaxed after some time and you and Tony kept exchanging glances.
