"Do we really have to go the party?" I whine cuddling closer to Peter as he chuckles lightly at me.

"Well it is our engagement party MJ. We can't just bail. Ned has put forth a lot of time and effort" Peter reminds me as I pout agreeing with him.

"I know I know. I just hate being the center of attention" I tell him as my boyfriend laughs at me.

"Oh please baby, don't even stress, I'll be stealing the show" He grins down at me as I scoff playfully at him.

"Of course you are, who can resist that handsome face, and those muscly arms" I tease him kissing his cheek softly as he smiles down at me.

"Don't forget my abs. I worked hard for those" He adds making me giggle ever so softly. I teasingly trace a hand through them. "Of course not" I mumble as I graze my lips with his.

"Did you invite your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man?" I asked as he kisses me sensually before nodding his head at me.

"Through the little device Isa left behind" He assures looking over at his nightstand.

"And?" I urged as he smiles at me ever so slightly. "He said he wouldn't miss it and that you are one very lucky girl" He informs me with a sly grin.

"And Isa?" I added with a small grin. " I think they're fighting or something because he hadn't mentioned our engagement when I called her a couple days later to confirm she was coming" He tells me in a hushed whisper.

"You're a true gossip Peter Parker" I announced playfully but propping my chin up on his chest to give him my undivided attention.

What? Can you blame me? I love good gossip. Specially when it's about those two.

"So what happened?" I asked as he grins at me. "You seem particularly interested" He comments as I shrug my shoulders.

"I think we both know that those two like each other" I point out and he nods his head.

"It was pretty obvious, yeah, but I called her and she had absolutely no idea" He tells me as I knit my eyebrows together.

"But get this, Peter asked me if he could bring a plus one, I thought it was Isa, but it isn't" Peter adds as I gasp at the information.

"And did she ask to bring a plus one?" I asked as he shakes his head no.

"She told me that she was very happy for me and you, and that she would see if she could make it" He finishes as I agape at him.

"So she might not even come? I thought you said she was like you sister?" I replied with a shocked expression.

"She didn't reject the invite, she's just busy with all the magic stuff" He justify as I gave an unamused stare.

"Or maybe they hooked up and something went wrong?" I suggest as mumbles a soft "you think?"

"Why else wouldn't they come together?" I perked as he shrugs.

"Isa can be very stubborn when she wants to. And she doesn't usually compromise" He tells as I nod my head.

"Well you spent a lot of time with her, so I'll take your word for it" I mumbled with a frown.

"What did I say?" He tells me softly lifting my chin up cautiously.

"Nothing. I just sometimes feel bad about loosing over a year together" I mumble sadly as he kisses my forehead tenderly.

"It's not your fault. Plus, look at us now, about to get ready and spend forever together" He tells me as I smile at him while pecking his lips.

"If Isabel does come to the party tonight, can we pretty please try to set them up?" I asked pouting at me pleadingly.
