"Oh I always have room for dessert. I have a big sweet tooth and it can get me into trouble sometimes" Natalie said with a smile with a soft laugh.
This was hardly a surprise to Pepper after seeing the red head's eating habits over the last month since she was hired. Still, it was nice to hear the younger woman voice the words aloud. The blonde was proud of herself for alerting Happy Hogan to Natalie's love of sweets. She knew that Happy had a crush on Natalie and figured that he would try to spoil the read head with all of her favorite sweets to win her affection. The blonde asked their server for their menu which was promptly brought.
"I'm going with a classic slice of chocolate cake. You can never go wrong with chocolate" Natalie said with a smile. "What are you going to have for dessert?" she asked the older blonde.
"Oh nothing for me. At my age, the old adage of a moment on the lips means forever on the hips is very true" Pepper said with an embarrassed little laugh. She hoped that explanation would satisfy Natalie and not leave her suspicious. She figured the young woman would be vain enough to believe that. Pepper silently breathed a sigh of relief as she saw Natalie nod her head in agreement.
When their server agreed, Natalie ordered a slice of the chocolate cake and a glass of milk. Despite all that she had eaten, as soon as the dessert was set down in front of her, she couldn't resist. "Mm, so good" the red head moaned softly after taking her first healthy sized bite. After just one bite, she was hooked, and she greedily devoured the rest of the slice of chocolate cake. She then washed it down with her glass of milk before a burp escaped her lips. "Oops, excuse me" Natalie said with a slight blush and an embarrassed little laugh. She sat back in her chair, gently patting her food belly which was pushing out through her black dress more.
Pepper was so pleased to see Natalie's belly looking really bloated. She paid for their meal and they headed back to Stark Industries.
