"Are you gonna head home before the party?" He asked as we walked out of the movie theater.

"I mean, maybe. Is Happy picking you up?"

"Yeah, do you want to come with me?"

"Why not, I don't need anything from my place anyway." We tossed our popcorn and drinks into the trash near the exit as everyone from the theater slowly piled out. As the doors opened I could clearly see Happy parked across the way. We hurriedly walked over and got inside, Peter being a gentleman and letting me in first.

"Wow, maybe you picking up after Tony isn't that bad..."

"Haha," He stiffly laughed, "You know you're such a nice girlfriend.."

"How dare you!" My mouth gaped wide in shock. I went to tackle him into his side as Happy spoke.

"Young love, I get it but knock it off."

"Thanks Happy!" Peter smiled.

We eventually pulled up to the marvelous tower, a home to Peter's family and part of mine- especially considering what Natasha and Wanda had both said earlier today. Happy parked in the garage and went back to work as the two of us had made it up the private elevator to the penthouse.No one could be seen nearby.

"Friday? Where's everyone?"

"The other Starks are currently on the party deck and everyone else seems to be preoccupied with getting ready." I've been here so many times yet this was the first time that I'd be visiting this area of the tower. The place is huge, how can you blame me. I haven't even been on floors, 2- 89. We head back to the elevator that took us to the Party deck.

It was a large open space, filled with decor associated with the specific holiday. Mostly reds with some hints of silver and pink. Tables and comfortable chairs where guests can relax and/or eat. The couch had pillows that matched as well. Where some of the group sat. Tony- Peter's dad- laid back in the corner to the far right of the couch, next to him Pepper and Morgan.

As we approached them all, I could see out of the corner of my eye Natasha and Wanda both coming back from a bar. Two slim champagne glasses in hand. They sit down as do I across from the family.

"Hey kiddos," Tony shouted from his spot. "Just got back?"

"Yeah!" Peter sped over and jumped over the couch, landing beside his parents. "The movie was so good."

"You almost cried."

"It's sad."

"Not that sad... besides it was a bit predictable," I shrugged.

"How dare you! Ugh, I can't believe my own girlfriend hated it."

"I didn't hate it. I tolerated it. There were some nice moments.." He sighed deeply as he moved on from the topic. I smiled cheekily, knowing I was right. s. "What did you guys do?" I asked no one in particular.

"Relax, Clint can't bug me since Laura has him occupied." Natasha sunk into the couch after sipping from her glass. "You can't tell me he isn't a man child."

"I'm wondering how he even has a wife?" Tony muttered.

"That is the only thing I don't know the answer to," She admitted.

"Ok can we not talk crap about him, today's supposed to be about celebrating love not hate."

"What if there was an opposite of valentines day, like a hate day. I'd hate that..." Peter thought aloud."
