Taking a final glance at my fair figured body in the mirror, it turned to head out of the bathroom. It's Saturday night and I'm almost done getting ready for Tony's celebratory party. Double checking that my silver earrings and necklace are secure, I go to grab my heels. Now all I have to do is slip on my black pumps, grab my clutch, and head out of the bedroom door. Sitting down to put on my heel my hands skim the soft fabric of my black dress; it has a slit that goes up above my right thigh and it hugs my body in all of the right places, staying fitted until my hip, then it flows all the way down to almost my ankles. Natasha let me borrow this for the party, I insisted on buying a dress on my own... but I don't have an ounce of cash. My auburn hair is curled, drifting whistfully around my shoulders. I have some light makeup on, only having a little eyeliner and mascara, along with a dark berry pink gloss to finish everything off. Grabbing my belongings I start to head towards the party.

Entering Tony's large gathering I search the room for familiar faces, not wanting to stand like an idiot for longer than I have to. Looking around there's at least 50 people here, all wearing formal attire and holding champagne glasses or beer bottles in their hand. The room has a very dim lighting to it, making the space overall more comfortable and homey. Searching for I don't know who I can hear soft rock playing in the background, muffled by all of the conversations people are having. Looking downstairs I see Steve and another man playing pool together, it seems like they're having a lot of fun. I carefully walk down the stairs to where Steve is, careful not to fall because my god that would be so embarrassing. Walking down I realized that the Avengers are all over the place, Natasha talking to someone on the couch, Thor whiling around his hands probably telling the interested people around him an adventure story, Clint talking to Helen Cho near the far side of the room, and of course Steve having a blast at a game of pool. When these people aren't fighting to save the day, they look like really normal people.

I reached the end of the stairs and start to make my way towards Steve, who currently looks occupied trying to beat the other man at a very serious game. Steve truly looks happy, I always see him worried about the people around him and the world, I never get to see him just having basic, light interactions with people; it's very refreshing. The sound my heels make echo on the marble floor beneath me, making Steve turn his head in my direction, searching for whoever is approaching him. Taking a glance at me Steve's eyes grow big, his smile slowly starts to fade away. Do I look that bad? Steve starts to eye my up and down before his gaze starts to fixate on my eyes and my glossed up lips. Steve looks really good, I mean he always looks good but now I get to finally appreciate it since we're in a formal setting. He's wearing a blue button up with the sleeves rolled to his elbows, his muscles probably making the shirt almost burst. And his hair, oh my god his hair; I just want to run my hands through it. Wait did I just say that? Get with yourself Jess, you're acting like a fan girl! I shook my head out of my thoughts and walked across the room until I found myself in Steve's and the other man's presence, standing about a good 3 feet away from them. Steve is still eyeing my face, standing in the same position he was when he noticed me walking towards him, while the man next to him shakes him out of his glance.

"Oh.. Um.. Sorry.. This is um Jess, and Jess this is Sam." Steve says clumsily while still trying to recover from.... Me walking over to him? I don't know what he was thinking, I hope it wasn't bad. He then gestured to Sam and I shook his hand. The man is dark skinned and is very fit as well, do these people have a super soldier fitness club or something?

"Well unlike Steve over here, I can actually talk to woman. It's nice to meet you." Sam said jokingly and I giggled, Steve just chuckled a little bit while his cheeks were turning a light shade of pink. Was he embarrassed? Did we make the Captain America embarrassed? Steve shakes his head and looks down at the floor while Sam lightly pushed his shoulder with his.
