It was the day before the party and Jessica found it strange that there was this huge event going on and Pepper wasn't the one who was pulling the strings and organizing it.

Jessica rubbed her eyes and turned her attention back to the screen in front of her, trying to process the coding that she was trying to do but her thoughts kept going back to the guys. Steve was already back in Cap mode, Tony wouldn't tear himself away from the lab and had even discouraged Jessica on trying to disturb him again which had pissed her off but as she saw it what was the point in being mad at someone when they didn't even know she was mad at him. Thor was still in Asgard, Clint would be coming back from the farm house today and Bucky, well she wasn't even sure if she should even be thinking of him. She hadn't spotted him lurking about for a few days so she assumed he had moved on, Jessica had brought this up with Steve and she knew Sam was looking into it.

Jessica sighed, she knew she wasn't able to concentrate of the task ahead of her. She had wanted to tell everyone how she felt about them and so far she had only managed to tell Steve. Jessica picked up her phone and started typing out a text message to Charlie, 'Drinks tonight? X' within moments she got a response, 'only if you're buying- meet you outside the tower at 6'

Jessica decided that the best thing to do now was to get some coffee and head back to the office after a break. She headed to the common room to find Natasha in there, "hey, I thought you were on some mission or something?" Jessica greeted her pouring herself some coffee and offering Natasha some.

"Something like that" Natasha responded smirking, but it was clear something was bothering her.

"Something wrong?" Jessica asked putting the pot of coffee back,

Natasha shook her head, "nope."

Jessica jokingly rolled her eyes at Natasha so she could see, "for a spy you're a terrible liar." She smiled at her, "well if you want to talk about a certain doctor or anything, I'm meeting Charlie for drinks at 6." Jessica informed her as she left the common room.

The day seemed to go a bit quicker now that Jessica knew she was going to be able to vent to someone about everything, at five o clock she left her office and made her way up towards her apartment changing into a tight black dress and quickly sorted out her hair and make up before heading out.

Jessica was making her way out when she saw Natasha talking to Clint and judging by the bags he was holding he had literally just got back, "you got a date tonight?" Clint asked Jessica as he looked her up and down and Jessica noticed that Clint's eyes showed a bit of hunger and lust towards her and lingered at certain curves causing Jessica to smirk.

"Yeah, she does" Natasha told him, "with me." Natasha made her way towards Jessica as they made their way out of the building,

"Don't wait up" Jessica winked at Clint and he chuckled at her shaking his head.

. . . . . . . . . . .

Jessica, Charlie and Natasha were now taking their fifth shot, "so how am I even supposed to tell the others I love them, Thor is all like I'm a manly man who goes off and fights battles and is like look at me I'm future king. Tony is all like iron man this and work, and Clint is-" Jessica was interrupted,

"Completely unreadable?" Natasha finished off Jessica's sentence and she nodded taking another shot. "So what about the fossil?"

"Well we've actually told each other we love each other, but-"

"Not done the nasty?" Charlie pipped in for her and Jessica screwed up her face,

"Not my choice of words, but exactly." Jessica laughed, "I could be naked and he'd probably just cover me up with a blanket."

Natasha and Charlie laughed at the comment taking a shot out of their pile. "So Charlie, what's going on with you and will?" Jessica asked trying to change the subject of her and Steve not having sex.

"Things are amazing, we are moving in together this weekend." Charlie beamed and Jessica let out a squeal,

"That's amazing news!" Jessica told him,

Charlie nodded, "so widow," Charlie moved his attention to Natasha, "what's going on with you?"

Natasha was about to protest, "don't you dare deny anything! I saw the way you looked at bruce when he was talking about how amazing Helen is!"

Natasha took another shot, "I'm so used to guys running around after me once I've put on the charm and Bruce is different" Jessica and Charlie took a shot, "this is different,"

"Tomorrow night at the party, up your flirting" Jessica told Natasha,

. . . . . . . . . .

After one too many shots Natasha and Jessica made their way back to the tower, "why is it you aren't as drunk as me?" Jessica asked frowning at Natasha,

Natasha chuckled, "Russians handle their drink better."

Jessica mused, "pesky Russians"

Natasha escorted Jessica back to her apartment door and when she opened the door she was surprised to see Clint waiting for her in the living room. "I'm not even going to ask how you managed to break in" Jessica laughed.

"And I'm not going to ask you how much you drank" Clint smiled, "coffee?" Jessica nodded sitting herself down onto the sofa.

"What would I do without you?" Jessica mused as she took the cup of coffee from Clint and he sat himself next to her on the sofa.

"Have four other soulmates who look after you?" He teased and she shook her head,

"Not the same," she told him taking a sip of her coffee, "each of you have different qualities that I love which make our love completely different from the others"

Clint tensed up slightly, "so how is it different, ours for example?"

Jessica moved her head side to side for a few moments while she thought about it, "you're the one who I feel safest around, the one I feel like I can talk about anything to and know you will understand it and that's what I love most about you." She told him and Clint took Jessica's coffee and placed it on the table and put his arm around her shoulder pulling her in,

"Jessica?" Clint asked and she hmmed in response, "I love you too"
