3 Chapter Two

I sat on the couch, watching TV with Natasha. I looked over the back of the couch and sighed, having not seen Tony at all today. It has been weeks since I last saw him and I'm becoming more worried with every day that passes. Nat noticed my worry and placed a gentle hand on my shoulder, making me look at her. "I'll go check on him." she said before getting up and leaving the living room before heading towards Tony's room. I stood and followed behind her, staying at the doorway of the hall and watching her knock on the door to his room. The door opened and I saw Tony and Natasha begin to talk. Tony looked at me and I could see the blush cover his cheeks. Tony, then, pulled Natasha into his room and closed the door.

I looked at Natasha after shutting the door behind me. "Tony, you can't keep acting like this. What is so wrong that you hide from Steve everytime you see him?" Natasha asked me. That's when she realized it. "Oh, I see. You've fallen for him and you haven't told him." Natasha said as she crossed her arms over her chest. "Please don't tell him or anyone Nat." I said, having a pleading look in my eyes. She sighed and let her arms fall to her sides. "Tony, this is going to eat at you if you don't tell him. So, if you don't, then I will." she said before leaving my room. I watched her leave and sighed, falling onto my bed, closing my eyes and falling asleep within minutes.

He pinned me against the wall, my breathing heavy and quick. I looked into his eyes and saw the lustful gleam in them. With my hands being pinned above my head, I used my knee to rub against his crouch, earning a low moan from him. I smirked and continued my action before being picked up and put over his shoulder, making me squeal in shock. He dropped me onto the bed and crawled on top of me, planting soft kisses all over my fair colored skin. I brought my hands up to his hair and entangled my fingers in every perfect, golden strand. I went to beg for him but nothing came out and my surroundings disappeared and morphed into something different. I looked up in time to see his shield coming down at my face. I rolled out of the way and got up just to be punched in the face and being knocked back to the ground. He came down to my ear and started to choke me. "I will never love you." he said.

I jolted awake and looked around, being in a cold sweat before breaking down into tears. 'that was such a horrible nightmare!' I thought as I brought my knees to my chest and put my head in my arms, crying for almost an hour before finally starting to calm down. I stood up and wiped my cheeks before heading to my lab, stopping in my tracks when I saw him standing there, no shirt, bare chest and looking at me with his arms crossed. I swallowed the lump in my throat.

~~~~~

I watched Tony enter the lab and stop when he spotted me. He went to leave but the doors shut tight behind him, keeping him from leaving. I wasn't going to allow him to leave until he talked to me. "Anthony Stark, you're not leaving until you tell me what's been going on." I said, keeping my arms crossed over my chest as I kept my eyes on the genius. He hit the door a little before turning to face me once again and I noticed the blush creeping to his cheeks again. "Fine." he said, his attention going to the floor as he walked over to his desk and sat down in the chair. "you really want to know so here you go. I've developed undeniable feelings for you and everyday, the only thing I can think about is you. That's why I come in here. I hope to clear my mind of every sinful and dirty thought that pops into my head." Tony explained, looking at me with seriousness but the blush on his face grew darker. His words made me speechless. The playboy genius had feelings for me? I couldn't believe it and I had know idea how to respond or what to do. And from that, I could see the hurt in Tony's eyes. "i-I'm sorry. I need to go think about this." I said before leaving the lab and I headed straight to my room. I still couldn't believe that he had just confesses his feelings for me. I didn't know what to think about that. I mean, I liked him but not in that way, at least, I don't think so. Now I started to question myself.
