It’s not nice to tease me like this.” he glared at the table. “I know my having a crush on you must be terribly funny and all but I don’t see the amusement in it.” Tony was so stupid, he really thought the worst of himself if he thought Steph would be cruel enough to tease him, over the idea she might have the hots for him.
