I walked into the party with Clint and Molly.
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY!" Everyone shouted, Pepper ran over to me and gave me a hug.
"Thank you so much for this Pepper" I said as I pulled away from the hug.
"Don't worry about it" I smiled, I scanned the room for Steve, I guess he decided against coming.
I walked towards the bar where Natasha, Jane, Thor and Sam.
"Hey guys!" I said as I joined them.
"Hey April, it's so good to see you... I have missed you loads" Natasha said hugging me.
"I missed you too" I hugged her back, it had been such a long time since i had seen her.
"How's life in Nashville?" Thor asked with his arm around Jane.
"simple and quite, I really like it but I miss New York" I scanned the room again but there was no sign of Steve, I was kind of relieved as I could relax and be myself. Sam noticed me looking around.
"Steve's here you know" he whispered to me.
"Where is he?" I was now facing him and I looked over his shoulder to look around.
"He is on the balcony with Stark, he is keeping a low profile, he wasn't sure if you would want him here but Pepper insisted on him staying".
"Oh," I kind of felt bad but this fall out was his doing.
Two hours in and I was having an amazing time apart from dodging Steve. I was on the balcony at the far side of room, no one was out there. I really enjoyed the piece and quite.
"Hey birthday girl". I froze again shortly after I panicked, I knew that voice. WHAT THE HELL DO I SAY!. I thought to myself. I turned around to see Steve towering above me.
"Started to think you were avoiding me" he said with a simple sweet smile.
"Hi" I replied a little quite.
"How are you, it's been awhile". I just nodded I was kind of pissed with him but at the same time it felt good to see him, I missed him.
"Are you still mad with me?" I could tell by his tone he was annoyed.
"Well kind of... Yes" I'm not going to stand here and lie to him and act like everything was rainbows and sunshine. He sighed
"Seriously" he looked totally pissed off.
"Yes Steve seriously, you once again couldn't have your own way and you spat your dummy out of the pram like a two year old-". He interpreted me.
"Oh I act like the two year old" I could tell he was mad about the comment I made.
"Yes, you do, nothing was going on and nothing ever happened"
"And you think I believe that?" He said with a slight laugh.
"Look Steve... Me and you were never an item, never have been or will be, we both understand that... So why do you keep getting so jealous?... I thought all we were was a strand of hook ups" I was so mad at him right now.
"Don't forget best friends" he said jokingly, I rolled my eyes.
"Come on April, get over yourself"
"Me? Get over myself?... You know I actually thought you where here to talk things over and make up, but I guess not. Now get the hell out of my way"
I pushed past him but he grabbed my arm.
"You won't stay mad at me forever" he said keeping his grip on my arm, I sighed and looked down.
"We always make up in the end.... You know that and I know that." He walked closer to me until he was that close I had to look up even more then before.
"I know" I did know, this is how it went every time, we fall out, argue and make up. Like a broken record.
"Maybe we do, but you seriously need to get over it Steve.... Stop acting like a bad boy, it doesn't suit you... I prefer you when your sweet and caring" I pushed him away and he grabbed my hands, not in an aggressive way. I think he was more bothered about me hitting him. Either that or my comment upset him, he hated to be thought of as mean or bad.
I looked up into his eyes and he looked at me. His eyes were pale blue. We both leaned in to kiss when I heard people scream.
