Natasha got ready for the ball, she wore a beautiful pink princess gown, and let her hair down, with subtle make up on.
"You look like a real life princess" Maria said, straightening her own dress.
"I feel like one" Natasha said, admiring her reflection in the mirror, "Too bad he isn't here"
"You have grown so fond of him in such less time" Maria said.
"He is worth it" Natasha blushed, "Anyways, lets get going or we'll be late"
Maria nodded and both left the hotel in a limo.

Clark was waiting outside the hall, impatiently.
"You know, she would come if she said she will. Pacing around like a fool would do you no good" Barry said.
"It's not funny, Bar" Clark said.
"It is. The look on your face is hilarious " Barry laughed sarcastically.
Clark stepped close to him, but just then a limo stopped behind them, and door opened. Clark's heart skipped a beat, as she stepped out.
He didn't realize he was standing there with his mouth open, until Barry pushed his chin up, "Close your mouth, uncle" he said.
Clark blinked a few times, and then stepped forward to greet her.
"Welcome, Mrs. Rogers" he said with a pain in his chest, taking her hand and placing a gentle kiss on her knuckles, "So glad to have you here"
"Pleasure is mine" Natasha said with a beautiful smile.
"May I? " he asked, holding his arm out for her. She nodded and held his arm, walking with him.
Clark winked at Barry, who shook his head.
Natasha looked so beautiful, Clark could barely breath in her presence.
He turned and stood before her on the dance floor, she put her hand in his, and other on his shoulder, and he hesitantly took her waist.
They started moving slowly with the music.
"So, what's the deal between you and Steve? I mean.. I don't want to" Clark wanted to know but couldn't figure out how to properly speak.
"Nothing, he just proposed and I had nothing better to do then say yes" she replied.
"But you don't love him? " he asked.
"I respect him, a lot. And I like him. Love will find its way too, someday" she said.
"Isn't a relationship without love, soulless? " he asked, raising an eyebrow.
"I wouldn't be in a relationship ever, if not for him. He helped me in ways that.. " she was smarter then he gave her credit. Wasn't letting him get any information out. How would he woo her if this continued.
"You are a very graceful dancer" Clark said, changing the topic, and giving her a twirl.
She laughed, "I happen to be a ballerina"
"You are kidding me" he was shocked.
"No, I am not. I loved ballet, learned a lot but then.. I wish to continue too" she said.
"You could join my dance school" he said, happy with the opportunity.
"You have a dance school? " she asked, "oh my God. I'll love to. I don't have much to do these days. "
"Great, then I'll join you as soon as we get back" he said.
"You are.. What do you do there? " she asked.
"I play music, its one of my biggest passions. And I learn dance too. We arrange some dance competitions as well" he explained.
"I think we are gonna be best friends then" Natasha said with a huge smile that melt Clark's heart.
"I hope your husband wouldn't mind" Clark said. But she wasn't paying attention, she was staring at the door.
"Steve? " she said. And Clark turned to find out, his happy night was interrupted yet again.

Natasha ran out of Clark's hold and into Steve's arms, that were held open for her. She couldn't believe he made it back.
He lifted her off her feet as they hugged and twirled.
"Oh my God. You made it" she said excitedly, as he put her down.
"How could I not? Gosh, you look so beautiful " he said, touching her cheek.
"But how? Your meeting was so.. I thought " she still couldn't believe her eyes.
"I took a helicopter to return fast. But you had already left so.. I rushed as fast as I could. Sorry for the delay" he said.
"You made it. Its all that matters" She said and hugged him back.
"Come, my princess.. I want to have a special dance" he said.
"Of course" she said and took his arm.
"Nat" Barry blocked their way, "You came with Clark, how can you ditch your date like that? "
"Oh, shit. I should say sorry" Natasha said.
"Her husband is here, child. He can dance with Maria" Steve said.
"I'll just go an excuse myself, Steve" Natasha told Steve, "Its bad manners"
She kissed Steve's cheek and then held Barry's hand, walking back to Clark, who was now sitting by the bar.
"Sorry, I.. I saw Steve and.. I am really sorry" Natasha said, approaching him.
"Its okay, Natasha. I hope you won't back off on our dance classes" he said.
"I won't. I promise " she said, "See you soon"
He nodded with a smile and returned to Steve.

"Its going to be very difficult " Barry said.
"Yes, but its not impossible. We share the same taste. We'll get along" he said, gulping his drink.
"Natasha is so damn sweet. We deserve to have someone like her" Barry said.
"We would. Trust me" Clark said, and then they both left the hall.
