In a multi-crew operation there is absolutely no room for confusion over ATC clearances. If you BOTH do not copy the clearance the first time - get it confirmed by ATC.

In the example that you gave you there was only one option open to you. Get ATC to repeat the clearance. Don't let pride, either yours or the captains get in the way of a safe flight. That is your responsibility.
