Since I wasn't able to go to set with Chris due to it being a closed set, he planned a small get together at his place one night that was going to be an early filming day. Scarlett Johansson, Anthony Mackie and Sebastian Stan were all going to be coming over after I had been in Atlanta for a few days.

The delivery guy had just dropped off the pizzas and I had the beers out and ready for everyone. I heard the cars pull in and I got excited.

"Honey! I'm home!" Chris yelled out. I laughed as I walked to great him and he leaned in giving me a small kiss.

"How was filming?" I asked.

Chris shot a look at Anthony, "Long."

"Hey!" Anthony said and we all laughed.

"Let me introduce you." Chris said as we walked into the living room. "Anthony, Seb, Scarlett, this is Aspen my girlfriend. Aspen this is the crew I usually hang out with." Chris smiled a smiled.

"Nice to meet all of you."

"Us?! It's great to meet you!" Anthony said and pulled me into a hug. Scarlett was next and then Seb.

"Chris has talked so much about you even getting us all into the Olympics this year." Scarlett said and I looked at Chris and he just shrugged.

"My girl was competing for her dream, of course I got you support." Chris said and I just sighed and shook my head.

"Wasn't your girl at the time..." I said in a sing song voice.

"You were always my girl Aspen." Chris said and kissed the side of my head.

"So much love!" Scarlett said and we laughed.

"Well food just got here, and drinks are set up so let's get eating!" I said and everyone nodded. We all walked into the kitchen and got some food and drinks.

We talked, drank and ate most of the night and soon I was left alone with Scarlett which I didn't mind as the boys went and talked about other things.

"So, what's the story with you and Chris?" Scarlett asked.

"Meaning?" I asked taking a swig of my beer.

"Well Chris has been tight lipped. I just know he said you needed the support through the Olympics which shocked me that he didn't go with you if you were together." Scarlett said.

"Well in all reality, we weren't together when I was going to the Olympics. Chris and I had a fight when he found out I was training again especially after my injuries. He never thought I would compete again. He basically gave me an ultimatum, him or the Olympics. I picked the Olympics."

"Smart girl." Scarlett said and we laughed.

"Right. I mean we talked afterwards, and I told him I wanted to take it slow, starting over for him and I. It was what we needed. He agreed so we have been taking it slow since this summer and finally are getting back to a good place and we are happy." I finished explaining.

"Well, I like that you made him work for it. I mean I knew he loved you and he still does, you are all he thinks about. Honestly it's pretty sickening." Scarlett said and we both laughed.

"I love him too though. He really is my person. I missed him when we were apart, but I didn't have a choice, I had to do for me." I said and Scarlett nodded.

"I love that you did. People give into him all the time and I love to see that you didn't, and I also love that you made him work for it." Scarlett said.

Chris came walking over and kissed my cheek.

"What are you two ladies talking about?" Chris asked.

"You." Scarlett and I answered together and then started laughing.

"Wow..." Chris said.

"I was explaining how you gave me an ultimatum and then I made you work on getting me back." I said and a Chris rolled his eyes as Scarlett reached around me and punch him in the arm.

"Ow!" Chris yelled and started rubbing upper arm where he was punched.

"Never give a woman an ultimatum. You won't like the results." Scarlett said and Chris nodded.

"Yeah, I figured that out." Chris said and I gave him a small smile.

"It's okay now." I said and Chris nodded.

Later that night after everyone had left Chris and I were lying in bed together with my head on his chest and I smiled.

"I loved meeting everyone tonight." I said.

"Well, you have one more to meet. Robert wants to meet you, but he had plans tonight and couldn't come." Chris said and I snapped my head up to look at him.

"Do you mean Robert Downey Jr?!" I shrieked and Chris laughed.

"Yes...problem?"

"He just an amazing actor and very popular. I mean he wants to meet me?" I asked and Chris was trying to hold in his laugh.

"Yes, he watched you compete and can't believe I was able to be with you. He wants to meet you. you going to be able to stay calm?" Chris chuckled.

"Yes! I promise." I said calming myself down. I leaned down and kissed Chris before I laid back down getting comfortable again. "So, I have to ask something..." I asked after a couple minutes of silence.

"What's that?" Chris asked running his fingers through my hair, massaging my head and relax me.

"I know Scarlett, Anthony and Sebastian either gave me their stamp of approval or not when you walked them out. What did they say?" I asked.

Chris chuckled and sighed, "Well Scarlett said if I hurt you ever again, she was picking your side and beating the shit out of me and ending our friendship." Chris said and I laughed.

"Well love that and her." I said.

"Sebastian and Anthony had the same thought and then fought about it." Chris said.

"Which was?" I asked.

"That if I screw it up with you, they will fight over who gets to ask you out first." Chris said and we both started laughing.

"Well Evans..." I said as I looked up at him from his chest, "It looks like your friends like me more than you. So maybe don't screw this up..." I said and Chris laugh.

"Wasn't planning on it. I have you Aspen, I don't plan on letting you go." Chris said. He leaned down and passionately kissed me as he rolled me over and hovered over me as we made out.
