\u201c\u2018Of course\u2019? You know, I can pay for myself.\u201d But Summer didn\u2019t pull away, instead patting his arm. \u201cI\u2019m a big girl, I don\u2019t need someone to take care of me. Especially not you.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\u201cWho said anything about being taken care of. I insist.\u201d Clearly, he wouldn\u2019t take no for an answer. They finally showed up in front of his favorite shawarma restaurant, The Shawarma Palace. Opening the door for her, he gestured for her to enter.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Giving up for the moment, and resolving to ninja-check him at the earliest possible opportunity, Summer let Tony gesture her inside. \u201cYou have got to be the most stubborn man I have ever met,\u201d she said over her shoulder. \u201cDo you run this roughshod over everyone, or am I getting special treatment?\u201d She turned and gave him a wry smile. \u201cOh, wait, no. I remember, your reputation, right. This \/is\/ normal for you.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Tony simply grinned at her. \u201cI know it\u2019s a bit of a dive, and far from anything fancy, but best shawarma in town. No lie.\u201d He chuckled. Upon their entrance, the man behind the counter gave a shout of surprise and welcome. \u201cIf it isn\u2019t Tony Stark! And another lovely lady! Come to treat her to the good stuff, eh?\u201d The man winked with a suggestive smile. \u201cJust dinner for now. We\u2019ll see about later.~\u201d He quirked an eyebrow at her with a smirk. Sauntering over to his usual spot, a corner booth, he allowed her to sit before taking his own seat. \u201cAh, yes, two of the special please. And whatever the lady would like to drink.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

All she could do was shake her head with a forbearing smile and follow Tony to the booth. Very purposefully, she sat across from him. “Just a soda,” Summer said firmly, to the waiter. “Lemon-lime.” Then she fixed Tony with a sceptical look. “You’ll see about later? Maybe you want to ask me? I might have plans. I might have a boyfriend — or girlfriend.”<\/p>\n

I might be starting to wonder if the game is worth the candle, she thought. I definitely don’t want to be a one-night stand.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
