Chapter 15
"Emma!" Nat yelled down the hallway as she approached her room. She knocked but there was no answer. "Emma?"
The door to Bucky's room opened and she stepped out to see Nat standing at her bedroom door, "Hey." She walked down the hallway to meet her, "What's up?"
Nat glanced over at Bucky's door and then back at Emma, "Are you- Did you- ."
Emma shyly smiled, "Bucky and me? Yeah."
"Oh." She tapped her foot on the ground and crossed her arms, "You sure?"
Emma put her hand gently on Nat's arm, "He's the sweetest man ever. I'm good."
"Sweet? Barnes?"
"There's so much I have to tell you, but can it wait until the party is over?"
"The party! That's why I'm here. Do you need help getting ready? Wanda is in my room. Ready to do hair or makeup if you want."
"I'm good. Bucky will help me with my dress and I'm just going to wear my hair simple. I think I got the makeup thing under control."
Nat lifted an eyebrow and really looked into Emma's eyes, "Hmm. Is Bucky coming to the party?"
"Yeah. He's even going to wear a suit."
Nat threw her head back with a laugh, "Oh girl. He must really like you."
They both were giggling when Bucky stepped out of his room and watched them. He was leaning against the door frame as they both walked back towards his room.
"Ladies."
"Barnes. Emma, tells me you're coming to the party."
"I am."
Nat glanced back at Emma, "Keep an eye on him. Parties aren't his thing. This should be interesting." Nat sauntered off and made her way back to her room to get ready.
Bucky looked at Emma, "What did she mean?"
"I have no idea. Come on, help me into my dress."
Bucky winked at her, "I'd rather help you out of your dress."
"Mr. Barnes. Keep it in your pants. After the party you can do whatever, you want with my dress."
They disappeared into his room and got ready for the evening's events.

Bucky and Emma took the elevator down to the party, "Sweetheart, if you don't want to be at this party, we can go back up to the rooms. Or the roof. Whatever, makes you comfortable."
She placed her hand in his and took an easy breath, "As long as you're by my side, I'll be fine." She kissed his cheek, "Same goes for you. If you want to leave, just tell me."
