21 Date [EDITED]

"Oh are you asking me out on a date," Gwen smiled slightly and pointed out Noah's intention.

'Busted.' Well, it seemed that Gwen was also slightly intrigued by Noah

"Sure, you and I seem to have a lot in common. Should I pick you up here?" Noah also became very direct in his pursuit to know more about Gwen.

Her sapphire blue eyes turned to him. There was a slight hint of smile on the corner of her mouth, but she recovered quickly. "Not lunch. How about dinner? 5 p.m. sounds good to you?"

"Yup, sounds good to me! I like to go home first and have a change of cloth anyway," Noah was happy with her agreement. Noah felt restricted by his formal clothing. He also wanted to throw away his disguise, letting Gwen know the real him.

They separated there. Gwen went up the tower to finish her works before lunch. And Noah went back to his home in New York. He had a room in The Stark Tower. Even though the tower was still in construction. the lower half of the tower had already been completed. It was only the top of the tower that was still in progress. It was safe for Noah to stay there. He wasted his time training first to wait until his appointed date.

About an hour before 5 p.m. , he changed into casual wear which exposed his beautiful tattoos and took out his contact lenses. With sunglasses, he took a car and drove it back to Oscorp Tower. He had a driving license in case he had to go somewhere without exposing his portal.

He parked in front of Oscorp Tower and waited outside of his car. He was silently leaning on the bonnet as his long fingers gently played with the phone.

Around 5 p.m. , he saw Gwen coming out from the tower, looking around for Noah. Maybe Noah's different aura and cloth made Gwen unable to recognize him.

Noah waved towards her, "Gwen!"

Only after Noah lowered down his sunglasses, did Gwen recognize him. She walked up to him in a daze.

"You look different," his striking tattoos and eyes really did a good job in giving Gwen a surprise.

"This is the real me. You don't like it?" Noah slightly teased her as she stared at his eyes too long.

Gwen faintly blushed as she unknowingly stared at him, "No, you look perfect. Let's go. Where are you bringing me?"

Noah opened his car door for Gwen, "How about a light dinner? I know a cafe around here."

"Okay, sounds fantastic."

On the way to the cafe, Gwen could not hold it in anymore and asked Noah, "So why did you hide your eyes color just now?"

"It's too eye-catching. Besides, I don't want to grab too much attention. Usually, I wore contact lenses during formal occasions."

Gwen understood Noah's reasoning. They arrived at the cafe Noah pointed out a few moments later.

The two of them were getting to know each other.

"Let me introduce myself again," this got Gwen's attention.

"My name is Noah Stark. I usually keep my real name hidden."

Gwen was startled, "Does that mean ..?"

"Yup, Tony Stark is my dad!"

"Then why didn't you announce it?" Tony's son was certainly going to get the media attention.

"I'm more of a low-key person."

'This man really likes to tease me!' Gwen ignored him but instead asked him more questions.

"Then how old are you, really?"

"Me? I'm just 19."

"I thought you were older. I mean you look matured. I never thought that you are just 2 years older than me," Noah was really matured beyond his ages. It made people around him think he was older than he looked.

Their conversation went on and on. They even exchanged their contact information.

And finally, Noah offered to send Gwen home and she gladly accepted it.

When they arrived in front of her building, Noah helped her get out of the car.

"How do you like today's dinner?"

"Are you asking about the meal or the date?"

"Both."

"I love both of them," her face was slightly red.

"I like you, Gwen. You are a delight to me. Do you want to date me?"

Gwen was silent for a while and her cheeks was vaguely blushing. 'She was so cute!'

"I think I like you too. I want to know more about you."

Noah happily smiled. He scooped her into his embrace and gave her a chaste kiss on the corner of her mouth. Noah, who was about 6 ft tall, completely overshadowed Gwen. Gwen did not dodge it and let Noah kiss her. She closed her eyes enjoying the kiss. They were in their own world.
