Promises

Chapter 1

This wasn't really your scene you thought as you walked into the party together with Nat and Wanda, but you had promised Steve that you would be there and that he would get your first dance of the party. And you always kept your promises. Always. No matter what.

If you were honest you also felt beautiful for once and you secretly hoped that the reason that Steve had asked you for your first dance was that he had feelings for you, because you were in love with him. Nat and Wanda had helped you find a midnight blue dress that fits you like a glove and showed off your curves and had a deep neckline. They had insisted that you shouldn't hide your body, and you had listened to them. You really wanted to impress Steve and you hoped he would like you dressed like this. But you felt a bit overwhelmed by all the people at the party. How could Tony know this many people?

Nat dragged Wanda and you to the bar and before you could ask the bartender for a drink he handed you a glass of champagne and winked at you. It was not what you were going to ask for, but you thanked him and accepted the glass. You turned your back against the bar, you really didn't want to flirt with the bartender. Sure he was handsome, but your heart was taken by Steve, and you were not one for stringing guys along. You took a sip and scanned the room after those blue eyes that made you week in the knees. Nat and Wanda also turned their backs against the bar and looked at you knowingly. They know about your feelings for Steve and they were sure that he would finally make a move on you today. That the two of you would get together tonight.

Across the room from you, Steve stood talking to a woman he meet at the party. She was beautiful, but the moment that Y/N had walked into the room he felt himself get weak in the knees. That dress on her body and the smile she had on her face. He wanted to go over there directly and ask for that promised dance, but he just couldn't. He tried to remember Bucky's advice. "Make her jealous" he had said. Then he should sweep her off her feet. So instead of walking over to her, he continued talking to the women in front of him, but his eyes constantly went back to Y/N standing at the bar. He wondered if she had seen him yet. She was breath-taking in her midnight blue dress and he could see other men watching her. Steve felt an urge to go over there and show the other men at the party that she was his, but he needed to stick to the plan. His eyes went back to the woman in front of him. What was her name? Sophia? Sandra? Her hands were on his body, and he felt uncomfortable but he needed to sell this to Y/N. Steve's eyes drifted back to Y/N again. Had she seen him yet?

After a while, you saw Steve standing across from you, but he was not alone. A tall, elegant woman with mahogany coloured hair was talking to him. She had a sparkling silver dress on and her hands were all over his arms. Touching him. Caressing him and he did not seem to mind it. You immediately turned away and blinked away a few tears. Nat and Wanda started looking around the room, trying to understand what had happened. They saw Steve with a woman all over him. Nat cleansed her hands and Wanda placed a hand on her arm. She understood Nat's feelings, but right now you were more important. You continued to drink your champagne and when you saw how Nat and Wanda looked at you, so you nodded against Sam and Clint that you saw standing a bit away from them. You walked over to them.

"Damn, you guys look amazing" Clint breathed out and his eyes swept over you. Sam stood just nodding as his eyes looked at Wanda. You laugh and thanked Clint. Nat and Wanda looked at you. You knew that your laugh and smile were fake. In your mind, you went over why Steve would have asked you for the first dance if he was going to talk to another woman and not notice you. Had he even seen you at the party? Or was he too enchanted by the woman he was with?

"Y/N" Clint said and you turned to him.

"Sorry," you said and looked him in the eyes. "I got lost in my own thoughts". Nat did a face, but you tried to ignore her. Sam lifted his eyebrows at Nat, but Wanda shook her head.
