Falling For Captain America/(COMPLETED)[1]

18/ together at last

Ella nervously tugged at her dress as she looked at herself in the full length mirror in her bathroom. Why was she so nervous? It's not like she had never been on a date before. But this wasn't just any date, it was Steve. Ella had already changed her dress three times and in the end had to call Pepper for help because she had nothing to wear in her small collection of clothes. Pepper arrived in record time with a gorgeous dress that Ella was now wearing. It was a deep purple and came down to just above her knees. The dress had two straps and complimented her figure well. Ella's long brown hair fell down her back in loose curls and Pepper was currently working on her make-up.

"Ella, sit still." Pepper chastised as she reached for the mascara wand on the bathroom counter.

Ella smiled sheepishly, "Sorry Pep, I can't help it. I'm just so nervous."

"You really like Steve don't you?" The red head asked already knowing the answer.

"I really do. He is unlike any other man I have ever met."

"I'm happy for you both. You two deserve to be happy." Pepper smiled, "Right, I'm done."

Pepper moved so Ella could see her reflection properly. She smiled, it was perfect. Pepper kept the make-up minimal and natural just like Ella wanted but her eyes seemed greener now.

"Pepper you are amazing!" Ella exclaimed hugging the CEO.

"I know, trust me the amount of Stark Industries events I have had to go to over the years. I became very good at doing make-up." Pepper explained disappearing into the hall, "So flats or heels?"

"Flats, definitely flats. I can't stand heels, I am always looking at my feet incase I trip over." Ella laughed as she took the black flats from Pepper and slipped them on her feet.

"Hey you told Tony yet?" Pepper asked

"Tony? Why Tony?"

"Seriously, he is your brother. Steve is one of his superhero best friends. I want to see his face!" Pepper laughed

"You don't think he will overreact do you?" Ella asked

"Well when you were in hospital he tried to convince you to go home, so probably."

"Great" The sarcasm was evident in her voice

"Don't worry I can handle Tony." Pepper smirked as she finished checking over Ella's hair and make-up.

A knock at the door caused both girls to freeze. They smiled at each other before Pepper went into the bedroom to hide while Ella went to answer the door.

"Hey." She smiled at Steve

"Hey, these are for you." Steve smiled at her before handing her over a dozen roses; they were wrapped in blue paper with white stars on it. The whole arrangement tied together with a red ribbon. Ella smiled softly as she realised they were the colours of Captain America's uniform.

"Steve, they're beautiful. Thank you." She beamed at him, placing them in the kitchen were she would locate a vase to put them in.

"Not as beautiful as you. You're breath-taking Ella." Steve complimented causing Ella to blush as red as a tomato.

"Not so bad yourself, Captain." Ella smirked. Steve did look rather handsome tonight. He was wearing a button down shirt with a pair of black trousers. A black jacket completing the outfit. His hair was neatly combed as normal and all Ella wanted to do with run her fingers through it, but she held back.

Steve laughed at her comment before taking her hand and leading her out of the tower. They walked out onto the main street instead of going to the garage so Ella assumed wherever they were going, it wasn't too far away.
