Tony knew he had to be there for some of this stuff, but he wasn’t sure he had to be around for all of them. The dress fittings he was pretty sure were for Pepper and her invitees only, not for him. But cake tasting, flowers, venues, DJ’s (or live bands) and all that other stuff, he was sure would be for both of them.
He was sitting at the bakery, leaning back a little in his chair as Pepper talked to the woman who had samples out for them to try. He wasn’t that concerned, really. He knew that she would pick something perfect, with or without his help.
Pepper didn’t expect Tony to help her with everything and some things she would chose and then simply run by him but she had thought this might be fun for them. After all who didn’t like cake and trying samples of what could potentially be their wedding cake would be nice. At least she thought so.
Smiling as Audrey left them to it she moved to sit next to Tony in front of the samples, “We’re being left to it so we don’t feel pressured” she told him, “Shall we start?” she gestured to the cake samples with the little forks next to them.
He was having a good time so far. Trying cake samples? That was both easy and fun. He was thankful he’d been asked to come along, don’t get him wrong. But it was totally out of the realm of things he was used to doing.
Tony chuckled softly. “No pressure. This is just the most important cake of our lives,” he teased. Then he lifted his hands and rubbed them together, as if in preparation. “Yes. Tell me which to try.”
Pepper couldn’t help chuckling at that, “Well now I feel pressure” she teased back before considering the cake samples, “Left to right?” she suggested, flipping open her notepad because she wanted to make sure they remembered which ones they liked and didn’t like.
“Left to right,” Tony agreed. Then he lifted a fork to sample the first cake on the far left hand side. “Should we have a variety of cakes, you think? Several tiers with a different flavor in each?” Then he took the bite.
"Actually that's a really good idea. I know we'll end up liking a few of them. Maybe get some cupcakes done too. People like those and they're easier to take away" she said before reaching over with her fork.
Tony nodded. He liked the first one. How could one go wrong with chocolate? Well, so long as one wasn’t allergic. Anyway, he nodded his approval. “This one’s good.” He said, then reached for the second.
Pepper agreed, chocolate was a good choice most of the time and for those with allergies she would make sure things had labels. As someone with an allergy she knew to be careful. "I'm not as keen on this one" she said, it had a coconut flavour and was a bit too strong for her.
Tony nodded. He wasn’t sure if he was fond of the use of actual coconut in or on the icing. It gave it a very strange texture. Too crunchy or chewy, or whatever. His fork paused a the next cake. “...don’t,” he said, and held a hand out to stop hers. “There’s Strawberry in this one.” He remembered better in this world than in the Dreams.
Pepper leaned over and pressed a kiss to his cheek, "Thank you" she said, she was touched that he did remember so well and also scolded herself for forgetting to tell Audrey. That could have ended badly.
Tony was out to protect her. He smirked softly at the kiss, and pushed that cake away with the end of his fork. Then he took a chunk out of the next sample to try. “...mmm. Coffee.” He said, and then speared a little chunk to offer it to Pepper. “This one’s my favorite so far.”
She appreciated that he was, very much. Opening her mouth she took the offered cake and moaned softly, “Oh yes, that one beats everything” she agreed with a smile. The coffee flavor was rich and smooth.
“We’ll have to have this be the main cake. Then we can get some cupcakes in vanilla and chocolate or… there’s another one here. Salted caramel?” He said, reading the little card, and then took a forkfull of that one and offered it to Pepper, too. “Ladies first.” ...even though she already had a mouth full.
Pepper nodded, "Good idea" she said her mouth still full of coffee cake. She held his hand back so she didn't end up covered in cake when he held out the last one.
Tony couldn’t help but grin as she wrapped a hand around his and held the cake back. He slid a little closer to her on the bench seat, and leaned in to press his nose into her temple. “Have I mentioned how adorable you are when you’re eating cake?” He whispered gently, his breath against her cheek.
She couldn’t help grinning then, “I do not look adorable eating cake” she told him with a small laugh, though she did lean into his touch as he moved closer.
Tony wasn’t going anywhere. He stayed close, dipping his head down to press kisses against her neck. “You do. You look adorable doing almost anything.”
Pepper laughed a little breathlessly as she gasped at the touch of lips to her neck, “You are a ridiculous man” she told him fondly one of her hands raising to stroke through his hair.
“I really am.” Tony said, his breath hot against her neck. His hand came up her front to cup her breast. This was Tony being forward now. He pushed against her a little more firmly, his mouth latching onto her collarbone.
"Tony" she breathed, her attempt to sound stern failing completely. "You do remember where we are?" She asked him though her body was definitely encouraging rather than dissuading him.
Damnit. They had a private booth in the back of the bakery, but Tony should have known better. He should have controlled himself better. “Sorry,” he mumbled against her skin, his hand dropping from her chest to rest on her thigh instead. (Though, that might have been worse.)
“What does that woman put into her cake batter?” He asked, his forehead resting now against Pepper’s temple.
“It’s okay, if we were anywhere else I would be taking full advantage right now” Pepper told him, pressing a kiss to his lips as she linked her hand with his.
Laughing softly she smiled, “I don’t know but I think we should definitely take some home”
“Check please?” Tony called out playfully, lifting a hand to the air with his finger up. “We’ll take some of this to go?” Of course, there was no one standing near the table to hear him.
“Maybe we should let Audrey know we’re gonna take this as homework.” All but the Strawberry one, Tony thought.
Pepper grinned widely as she leaned against him, “You are ridiculous” she told him fondly.
“I think you might be onto something, I’m sure she’d be happy to pack it up for us”
“Good.” Tony finally caught Audrey’s eye and waved the auburn-haired woman over. A quick conversation was had, and Audrey was taking the tray to the back to pack up the rest of the samples.
Tony climbed from the booth and held a hand out to Pepper. “I think it’s a success, though. We’re definitely ordering through this bakery.”
Pepper thanked Audrey before the other woman moved off to pack up the samples for them.
“Definitely” she confirmed, taking his hand and smiling, “Cake tasting was fun”
“It’s all going to be fun.” Tony responded. He laced his fingers through hers. “Let’s go home and have some more fun.”
