The main room was filled with friends and family.
"Can I please have everyone's attention." Henry said as he clanged his glass of champagne with a fork.
"As you guys know, i'm deeply in love with the women who's right beside me." He motioned to Bryanna who's arm was wrapped around his, as her eyes lingered back and forth to Steve making sudden eye contact.
"So in love, that last week in Paris I proposed to her." Everyone gasped and gush at his words. "We're getting married!" Bryanna said holding her left hand out, as the sparkly ring shined. The main room was filled with congratulations and cheers at the announcement.
Steve couldn't help but to have a frown on his face, seeing how she was happy with someone else.
Bryanna felt a sudden trap between two people, Bucky and Natasha. Squeezing her tight. "Oh my god! Congratulations Bry." Natasha scram, picking up Bryanna's left hand admiring the ring.
"Congratulations Breezy, you deserve all the happiness in the world." Bucky said smiling. "Thank you guys." She gushed in excitement.
"What's he doing here? I mean I don't have a problem with him but ya know..." Natasha said pointing her head over to Steve. "Nat.." Bucky scolded her.
"What?" She shrugged. "It's okay Buck, I honestly don't know. It's weird to think how him and Henry are still friends." She shook her head.
"Yeah that is weird." Natasha responded with a puzzled face.
"Bry." She heard a British voice, it was Vision.
"Congratulations dear!" He shouted as his hands looked through her, bringing her into a hug. "Thank you Vis."
Breaking up from the hug, she seen Wanda smiling. "Congrats honey, I cant tell you how happy it makes me seeing you happy." She said pulling her into a hug.
"Thank you Wands." She told her, being careful not to hug her to tight keeping in mind about the baby that was growing inside of her.
"Is baby Scarlet making you tired?" Natasha responded in a chuckle. "Oh god yes, I swear to god I feel nauseous and moody every ten minutes." Wanda responded. "Not to mention she makes me feel like a whale." The four laughed, as they all earned a serious head tilt from Wanda.
"Darling." Henry shouted making his fiancé walk towards him, planting a kiss on his cheek. She didn't even notice who was right behind him. "I just wrapped up a new deal with Steve." He said smiling. She tried her best to maintain contact on only Henry.
"Congrats love." She said bringing him into a kiss, she could literally feel Steve's fuming energy hitting her right in the face. "So how did you propose?" Vision asked as they all walked there way to the engaged couple.
"Well I took her to Paris as a little getaway and as a celebration of her accomplishments." He said smiling down at her. "So I thought to myself, why don't I just propose to her in Paris? I mean it was a special week for her, so why not make it memorable."
Cute gasps circulated the room, as Steve just rolled his eyes and looked down at his champagne. Nobody caught it, but Bryanna did.
"I had reserved the Eiffel tower just for the ocassion, hiring a jazz group and some assistants to decorate the building in roses and a fancy dinner. Her eyes were closed and she was so scared she begged me not to push her off the building." He let out a laugh as did the guests.
Bryanna rolled her eyes, pushing Henry gently. "Once the jazz music started to play I got down on one knee and told her to open her eyes, she gasped at the view of me proposing. And that's when I let put my little speech and asked her to marry me."
He leaned down to her, pressing a kiss on her cheek. She couldn't help but to feel awkward knowing Steve was there, his eyes were fully locked on her. Gawking at the the dress she had on, giving her body little to no coverage.
A few drinks and laughs later, everyone hit the dance floor feeling comfortable enough to dance the night away with the alcohol in there system. Henry, Bryanna, and Marianne, Henry's mother sat and talked about some wedding planning and even random things Marianne would bring up like the new fridge Henry had bought her or even about a new sweater she had knitted, she was truly adorable.
All of it felt overwhelming to Bryanna, sitting down and looking at her ring she couldn't help but to think how different her life was now. Never in a million years would she have thought she'd be where she is at now. Being a small town girl, barely making ends meet to one of the most famous professional dancer in the world.
Needing to take a breath, she excused herself from the two. Kissing Henry before leaving, she grabbed a champagne glass as she made her way out to the front.
Walking towards the white Aston Martin, she made her way to the drivers seat, leaning on the side of the window. Enjoying the night in New York.
"The sky sure looks pretty." A voice said,
she froze at the sound of the Brooklyn accent. Knowing exactly who it was.
"Yeah." She said as her eyes stayed glued to the sky. Steve walked towards her, leaning against the car as well. "How have you been?"
"Good." She snickered. "You?"
"Great." He responded as his hands made his way into his pockets. "What's got you out here? You should be in there celebrating." He said.
"Just needed some peace and quiet, I don't really get it that much anymore."
He hummed nodding his head, understanding exactly what she meant. They both stood in silence as the two admired the sky, beaming stars glowing all around. "You look a bit stress." He muttered. "Does it have to do anything with the engagement?"
"Steve, why do you care?" She said turning her head to face him, her right brow raising up. "I'm sorry, I was just asking." He whispered.
"No, it's not about the engagement. I just, I don't know." She shook her head. "My life has changed so much and I guess it all just hit me tonight."
"It's understandable, but you should be proud of yourself though." He smiled. "I know I am." She quickly turned her face back to him, giving him a slight smile before her eyes went back to see the stars.
"So, marriage huh?" Steve started. She tried her best not to laugh, seeing how awkward he was. Never in her life as she seen him like this. "You finally found the one you want to be with for the rest of your life?"
Bryanna let out a sigh, knowing the person she wanted to be with was him. His choice of words took a toll on her, knowing either it's going to work out with Henry or be a huge fall out.
"Yup, and you?" She asked as she took a sip of her champagne.
Steve smiled and shook his head, letting out a sigh. "Nah." He spat out. "Still single."
"So single to the point where I got a dog for comfort." Bryanna giggled as she had a suprised look on her face. "His name is Dodger."
"Well that's cute, i'm sure he's a spoiled little dog." She said bumping into his shoulder. "Of course he is." Steve said smiling.
Silence arouse upon the two, Bryanna taking in the final sips of her champagne.
"Bryanna, I know it's too late to say this." Steve said, making Bryanna's eyes wander back to him. "Don't." She stopped him.
"Please can we just talk?" He frowned.
Hear head jolted back, thinking to herself the audacity Steve had. "What is there to talk about?"
"Us."
Bryanna let out a sarcastic laugh, as her body pushed itself off the car. "There is no us Steve, there hasn't been an us in the past two years." She said as her hands made contact with her hips. "You made sure that there wasn't an us anymore, remember?" She said referring to the night of the breakup.
"I fucked up Bryanna." He shook his head. "Badly, i've been miserable without you, please can we just-"
"No." She scram, snapping at him. "You broke my heart Steve, you left when I needed you the most because you were fucking afraid. And now you want to come back after what? After you find out that i'm engaged?" She scoffed.
"I was broken for months because of you, I lost the person I adored the most in this world and you weren't even there to help me through the loss." She said. "I knew what the hell I signed up for, I was still going to risk my life because I wanted to be with you, and you were too blind to see it."
Her eyes became clouded with tears, bringing back all the awful memories from the breakup, to her grandmothers death. She shook her head as a blink of her eyes brought tears streaming down her face. "You can't just come back into my life when you want Steve." She sniffled.
"I'm better off without you, i've never been better." She said, knowing it was all a lie. Of course Henry fit her expectations perfectly, but it just wasn't Steve. She knew the spark she had with him could never be replaced with someone else.
He took a deep breath, his fingers brushing through his beard as his body leaned off the car. "I'm so sorry Bryanna."
"You should be." She breezed.
Fixing her dress, and getting the empty champagne glass that was on top of the car she took a step back, drinking him in one more time before leaving him in the cold air.
As he watched her walk away.
