Chapter 49: Nothing Else Matters

The ceremony finally ended with them both saying I do and sealing the deal with a kiss. People started to head towards the Central Park, where Tony had hired one area of it to set up the reception.

The reception was to be held underneath a thin white see through tent, where they could see the stars. Candles lit the way towards the opening of the tent. The scent from the flowers filled your nose. A dance floor was set up in the middle of the tent.

At the front were two big seats for the bride and groom, as well as two seats next to them for the best man and maid of honour. There was a big round table enough to fit eight people for the groomsmen and bridesmaids together situated to the right of the bride and grooms table. On the left was a table exactly the same as the bridesmaids and groomsmen's.

Pepper had seated it so it went boy, girl, boy girl. Harleen sat between Clint and Steve, next to Steve was Natasha, next to Natasha was Loki, Jane was next to Loki, Thor sat next to Bobbi and next to Bobbi was Clint.

Pepper had organised for the first dance before the meals being served. So Pepper and Tony got up when it was time and made their way to the dance floor. They positioned themselves for the dance and waited for the music to start.

The music started and everyone broke out in a big smile, even Pepper. Clint leaned over to Harleen and whispered,

"I think Pepper must have lost a bet." Harleen chuckled and listened to the song closely. She could just make out the lyrics over the clapping and cheering.

So close no matter how far. Couldn't be much more from the heart. Forever trusting who we are. And nothing else matters.

People whistled and clapped for the happily dancing couple. Harleen leaned over to Natasha and asked her,

"Who plays this song?"

"Metallica, of course." Natasha said without taking her eyes off the couple.

Never opened myself this way. Life is ours, we live it our way. All these words I don't just say. And nothing else matters.

After the second verse, other people started to join. Firstly Pepper's parents, slowly followed by Bruce and Betty. Thor couldn't resist asking Jane to dance and not to be shown up by his brother Loki asked Natasha to dance. Clint tried to ask Bobbi to dance who absolutely refused to do it and Clint was happy for that.

Steve stood up and held out his hand to Harleen saying,

"May I have this dance ma'am?" Harleen blushed and nodded before placing her hand into his. He led her to the dance floor and he placed one hand on her waist and the other holding her hand. Harleen placed one of her hands on his shoulder and the other holding his hand.

Steve started to lead her and Harleen followed lightly. She stepped on his toes a couple of times, in which Steve barely even noticed.

So close no matter how far. Couldn't be much more from the heart. Forever trusting who we are. And nothing else matters.
