"Well, it's fun until some of the exploding is aimed at you, but yes."
Stark, unlike his more broody counterpart in Paris, liked talking about when he was his alter-ego.
"I'm glad you called. I was going to call you first to tell you that I'll be in Paris soon."

Jess giggled "Oh I'm sure."
She also liked hearing about Tony's adventures, unlike with Bruce...
Shut up about Bruce! Just stop it!
Jess shook herself out of what could have been a very long silent pause with her arguing with herself to hear what he said. "Oh yea? What for?"

"I have some old holdings to look over here in Europe, some business that was never completely sorted out...but I'll have some free time."
Yes, he was hinting. Tony genuinely liked Jess, and did want to see her again.

"Are you trying to say that you'd like to take me up on my offer for lunch while you're in Paris... Mr. Stark?" Jess couldn't help but being this way, it just came out of her when she was talking to Tony. There really was no stopping it.

"Absolutely. I'll be there in about four days, but we can wait to set it up when I'm there in France."

Jess's smile widened and she was sure Tony could feel it through the line.
"Sounds good," she exhaled softly, she shouldn't be feeling so fluttery, she really shouldn't.

He did hear the smile, and had an answering smile of his own on his face.
"So, I'll see you then, honey."

Jess bit her lip and put on her most sultry voice, as if trying to hide the smile "You have a good day now Mr. Stark."

"Goodbye, hon."
It wouldn't be until after he hung up that he realized he'd welded the wrong things together.

Jess set the phone down on the receiver and grabbed her journal and began writing furiously. Her face alight with a life it hadn't seen in over two years.
She wouldn't admit it to herself, at least not at first, that maybe, even if she and Tony in the end, ended up driving each other insane. That maybe, right now, a new billionaire playboy was just what she needed.

**FOUR DAYS LATER**
Sometime in the afternoon, her phone rang.

It took a couple seconds before Jess actually answered the phone, due to the fact that she had to run out of the shower. Almost slipping on the wet floor she threw a towel around her as fast as she could, which threw her off balance. So when she came in to the room she fell face first in to the bed, but managed to grab the phone.
Looking up she put on a smile "Yyyelllo?"
