Fifty Shades of Barnes

The Party

It was a few days after we finished our mission and Tony wanted to host another one of his extravagant parties for business purposes. I didn't care about them so much but since this is my first one coming back he's announcing my homecoming, so the pressure is on. I turn to my art during these occasions, it takes the stress off of Tony's party planning/ Prima Donna alter ego. Someone knocked on my door pulling me out of my thoughts. I turned around to see Jules in her get ready robe.

"Y/n Y/l/n. Why the hell are you painting right now. Get your ass up and get ready."
"But we only have 2 fucking hours till the party. Why would I get ready for it 2 hours early." Putting my brush in the dirty paint water. She walked into the room holding her makeup bag filled with high brand makeup.

"The reason why you get ready freakishly early is because as women we must look good for the men. And since this is the first party since you've been back I want to take this time to catch up with you." I sighed, clearly defeated, knowing damn well she won't change her mind.

"Fine you win." She squealed with delight and ran straight to my closet taking out a skimpy lingerie set and a satin cream robe. "Ok go take a shower and don't shave cause I'm waxing your ass."
"Oh hell naw we are not doing that but I'll take a shower and shave though." She nodded her head and shooed me into the bathroom.

After I got out of the shower the first thing I saw was the entire bathroom counter covered in makeup supplies, perfumes, and hair supplies. The entire bathroom was lit up with both ring lights and the LED lights placed behind the giant mirror, a single seat sat in front of the counter.
"Sit down. Let me work my magic." She said pulling out my foundation color from a makeup fanny pack looking thing on her lap. I closed my eyes and let her do her work.

"So tell me what's up with you and Bucky." I instantly got chills from her mentioning his name.
"Nothing actually. Why would you ask that." I opened my eyes to see she had a "I know you're lying" expression.
"I'm serious Jules. He's not worth my time. AND he killed my parents in cold blood." She sighed placing concealer on the back of her hand and swiping it with a semi thick brush.

"I know that you changed since you've been, gone but I know one thing stayed the same. I know how you act when you've fallen for someone. You might deny it now, but someday you're gonna regret passing up someone like him. I mean have u seen him getting out of the training rooms when he has his episodes. Ugh the back muscles." She ranted on.

"I don't want to get back in that department."
"What do you mean?" She asked blending out my foundation.
"I don't want to put myself in the position of caring so much about someone, only to get hurt in the end. Like what if he leaves me or do the things Eugene did." I began to second guess myself thinking what am I to Bucky. We only slept together once and it was great but did he just do it for my body?

"He changed since he first got here y/n. But if you did pass up on someone like him I bet you're gonna wish you got a taste of that d-"

"Oh my fucking god Jules no!" We both laughed, it felt great to bond with her. She never judged me for my decisions she listened while also keeping the conversation upbeat.

She continued to work on my makeup and finished my eye shadow, that's when Bucky walked in.

"Hey Y/n I came to ask y-" he stopped at the bathroom doorway, mid sentence, with complete shock on his face. He blinked still silent from I don't even know what it was.
"Wow. Um." He cleared his throat scratching the back of his head with his metal arm. "Y/n you look. Great." Jules smiled laughing at his reaction.

"Relax Bucky I'm not even finished yet. What is it you want." He continued to stare at me with confusion in his eyes but a soft smile beginning to spread across his face.
"I... um... I came it here to tell you guys to get ready since we only have an hour left. I mean since you want to get your appearance to look acceptable to society." He continued to play it off like nothing happened. I nodded, "Ok Jules is just going to finish the rest of my make up then do my hair. So we'll be down in a few." He nodded with his metal arm on his hip and the other rested on the doorway like he was going to knock on it. But what didn't move.
"You can go now Bucky." Jules said as she began to add blush to my cheeks. That's when he finally left.
