𝐀𝐂𝐀𝐓𝐀𝐋𝐄𝐏𝐒𝐘 (Tony Stark's Daughter)

ℂℍ𝔸ℙ𝕋𝔼ℝ 𝟝

"Was I drunk?"

"Yes."

Tony groan rubbing his eyes with his palm. "You were 4?"

"4 and a half."

"Did something else happened that day?"

"Trust me, and there are lots of things that happened that day."

"Why wouldn't you tell me?" Tony asks, getting angry with the girl's attitude.

"Why would I?"

Tony rubbed his face getting more frustrated each second. He tries to understand the girl but her not cooperating with him only making it worst. He now feels even worst for not remembering anything at all. Not even after being showed Evaleen's picture.

Tim has shown him a picture of Eva, but her figures didn't strike anything in his mind, which triggered him a bit. How can he not remember or know the mother of his child, and they met but not in his right state of mind.

The conversation ends when Pepper arrives along with dinner.

Pepper's spaghetti with meatballs with a little touch of cheese attract both of the Stark's attention, who now realize how hungry they are.

Eve look at Pepper. "Did you cook this?"

Tony scoffed, and Pepper rolled her eyes at Tony's childish behavior and took a seat in front of them.

She smiles at the girl, "Yes, I did because Mr. Lazybutt needs some care since he claims that he's so busy even to eat. So I have to cook for him sometimes and make sure he eats the right nutrition instead of his ego."

The billionaire playfully glares and points his fork with meatball at her, "I am busy."

"Oh? What's make you so busy?" she taunted him.

He smugly smiles. "I'm Iron Man."

Both Pepper and Eve snort and continue eating their dinner, not caring about him. A ghost of a smile can be seen on Eve's face that goes unnoticed by both of them.

Eve may not show it, but she does like Pepper. She was indifferent to him as if he just like any other person instead of sugar-coting. They may just meet in a short time, but she watched Pepper pointed out whatever wrong he did. In her eyes, Pepper maybe a little too good for him.

Tony look offended, "Why with the snorting? I'm an Iron Man and with the Avengers."

"Yeah, yeah. Now eat your dinner. It's getting cold." Pepper dismissed him.

Tony pouted childishly and mumbled slowly, 'I am Iron Man, ' which still can be heard by both of them.

Pepper glance back and forth between the Starks. "What are you guys talking about earlier?"

"Nothing," Eve replied while eating her meatball, not even look at her.

Tony stop sulking point his fork at Eve, "Well, this Miss. Mysterious don't want to share her past with me."

Eve roll her eyes

"Keep rolling, and it will stick like that." Tony pointed out.

"Better like that than seeing your face."

"You mean, handsome?" Tony smirk.

"Handsome, my foot." She replies, making his smirk drop.

Pepper can feel the tension between them speak up. "Maybe she doesn't want to talk about it yet. Give her some time?"

"Well, she already talks about it earlier. She said that her mother did meet me 11 years ago, but when I ask what else happened, she just starts being teenagers in a hormone."

Eve slams her fork in rage glared at Tony. "Maybe that because she just doesn't want to tell you because it too hurtful even to remember. You may not remember it, but you did a very horrible thing that day. So good luck at remembering it because I fucking hell won't tell you!" She stands up and stomps away to her room.

The kitchen goes silent, then the slam of the door echoed through it. Pepper sigh at rubbed her face, "Why did you have to push her like that? I told you not to."

"You told me not to argue with her." Tony points out.

Pepper groan standing up, "I just can't with you right now."

Tony frown, "Where are you going?" he asks, watching her walking up the stairs.

"To check on her." She answers. "And I want you to clean up all of these." She points towards all plates, including the used cooking utensils.

"Why me?" he whined.

"It's your punishment." She continues her journey.

Tony groaned, looking at all the dishes that he has to wash.

"Oh, and Tony." Pepper voice snapping his head towards the stairs with a hopeful look.

Flashing him a sweet smile, she adds. "Sleep in the lab." With that, she disappears, leaving the jaw dropped billionaire with his dishes and future backache.
