Wanda's POV:

I waited in the hotel lobby couches for Romanoff and Y/N. I talked to Maria earlier and she was feeling a bit sick, so she stayed in her room today. I looked down to fix my nails and when I looked up Romanoff stood in front of me.

"Hey, Nat." I say. Natasha and I aren't just colleagues, or weren't. After y/n and I broke up, I got a job at Romanoff Designs. Natasha and I explored our connection a bit more, but it only lasted a few months. That still doesn't change our friendship, if you would even call it that.

"Wanda, hey." She replies and meets my gaze. "How's... y/n?" She twitched an eyebrow at me.

"Oh uhm..." I struggled to find the words. "Didn't you see her earlier also?" I question.

"Is this an interrogation?" She smiled. "I'm just making conversation."

I fumble. "Sorry. Yeah. Right." I sigh and look to the elevator for y/n, and slightly disappointed to see her not there. "She's good."

"She's late." Romanoff stated.

"But it's 11?" I question.

"You're either early or you're late. And she isn't early." She said.

"Don't be like that, Natasha. She's probably coming now." I say.

"You're biased, clearly." She defensively says back.

"What is that suppose to mean?" I turn to look at her in the eyes. She radiates confidence.

"I know about your history together, Wanda." She says.

I take a second to gather my thoughts.

"Are you jealous because of ours?" She looked stunned at my comment and didn't say a word until y/n showed up. She rushed down the hallway towards us and tripped over herself. I couldn't help but chuckle a bit. I looked over at Romanoff who did not look impressed.

Y/N'S POV:

Shit. I think to myself. I dropped the papers in my hands and I struggled to get myself back up.

"Hey ladies~" I say, covering for that embarrassing incident just now. "Where's Maria?"

"She's not feeling the best." Romanoff replies in a cold tone and stands up. "Let's just go." She walked ahead leading us to the car.

"What's wrong with her?" I whisper to Wanda. It was confusing, because just a while ago we were getting so close and personal with eachother.

"I don't know." Wanda says. "Pissed as usual?" She looked at the ground while walking and we got into the car. We opened the door to reveal there were only two seats in the back.

"Y/n and I will sit in the back. Wanda, go ahead." She spoke before any of us could say anything.

"Oh.. okay." Wanda said, a bit disappointed. I slammed the door, without realizing.

"Can we listen to music?" I turned to Romanoff. She ignored me, so I repeated my words. "Can we listen to music?!" She looked over at me.

"Are you a child?" Her confident voice echoed in the car. "No."

"Fine." I say to her and turn to look out the window, "you're too stuck up for a song..." I whispered lowly.

"What was that, y/n?" She asks.

"Hm?" I look back at her innocently. Wanda leaned back in her seat. "What?"

"If you're going to say something, say it to my face." She assertively said. I didn't have any plans to talk back to her at the moment. I look away, but she puts her hand on my thigh exposing me to her gaze.

"We both know I don't like you, y/n." She says quietly, neglecting that Wanda was also in the car. I don't think she heard, she was occupied on her 'small talk' conversation with the driver. I look Romanoff up and down, then pull her ear into my lips.

"We both know that's bullshit." I whisper. She pulls back, stunned by my sudden confidence.

"Wanda, turn on the stereo." She says. I smile with complete satisfaction.

We arrived at a luxurious restaurant. The name of it was in French, so I didn't understand it. Someone greeted us at the entrance.

"Miss Romanoff," he told us, " Mr. Stark has rented out the entire building. He will be arriving very shortly."

"Yes. As he should." Romanoff stated back. Someone else approached us, grabbing our coats to hang before we even realized.

"Follow me to your table," someone else said. Wanda smiled and took the seat across from me. There was an empty chair, where Maria would've sat.

"This is lovely," Wanda said.

"Only the best for Stark." Romanoff nodded. From the corner of my eye I saw three men walk through the door, one of them being Tony Stark.

"Here's here." I whispered to Romanoff. She fixed her white jacket that was on top of her gorgeous dress and got up to greet him. Wanda also got up and shook his hand.

"Wanda Maximoff?" He says.

Yeah. Great to see you again, Mr. Stark." She smiled at him. "I'm afraid I haven't met you before, dear." He looked over at me.

"Oh right, I'm Y/N Y/L/N." I got up and shook his hand.

"Wonderful. Let's begin, Natasha. We have lots discuss." Tony told us.

——————————

I zoned out for the majority of the conversation. They were talking about advertising their popular designs and partnerships, I think.

"What do you think, y/n?" Tony asked me. I snapped out of my daydream.

"I uh- sounds good." I really didn't know what he was asking me.

"See. Even y/n agrees." Tony smirked.

"No, Stark. I've tried this before and it didn't turn out. This style isn't what they want." She scoffs. I looked down at the design in Tony Stark's sketchbook. A bit odd, but still stylish. Like nothing I've seen before.

"Nat, that was ten years ago. Times have changed." He tries to persuade her.

"And when it flops?" She rolls her eyes.

"Hear him out, Nat." I barged into the conversation, "Romanoff Designs are trendsetters. Back then, it flopped because we weren't as popular. Now they'll buy our clothes just because of the brand name, even if it doesn't look the best." She gave me a nasty glare, but I ignored it and picked up my red wine. When putting it down, the glass slipped out of my hands right onto Romanoff's white jacket. She pulled her chair back as the glass shattered on the floor.

Fuck, I thought.
