I was smiling from ear-to-ear as I tucked a stray curl from my face.
"So what else can you tell me about Steve?" Bonnie asked while tapping her heel nervously.
"He's a great friend of Bucky's, they're like brothers" I told her. I straightened out my dress and then turned to face my best friend.
"So he's friends with your Bucky? That's all you can say?" I could tell she wanted to know more but Bucky had asked me not to mention that Steve was short, skinny or asthmatic.
"You'll meet him soon. Now let's go or we'll be late" I smiled. Bucky and I were already a couple, we were even discussing the idea of getting married one day. But tonight we had decided to try and set our best friends up and maybe they would fall in love like I had with Bucky.
"Hey Bucky" I waved when I saw he and Steve coming towards us. Bucky introduced Steve to Bonnie and then we left to watch the 'Wold Exposition of Tomorrow'.
When we went inside I saw the stage was set up with a car on it and then music began.
"It's starting" I said and dragged Bucky closer to the front.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, Mr Howard Stark" a woman's voice introduced, I watched my brother take the microphone from the woman and then he kissed her. Howard told the audience about his newest invention and I was so in awe that I wasn't paying much attention to his words, he demonstrated his 'hover car' soon after and the audience was mesmerised.
"Holy cow" I heard Bucky say from beside me. Electricity began to crackle and then car fell back to the stage but the audience was impressed and clapped for my brother.
"I did say a few years didn't I?" Howard smiled. I faintly heard Bucky say something then turned and realised that Steve had disappeared. Bonnie and I followed Bucky until he found Steve preparing to enlist again in the army.
"I'll be right back" Bucky promised then ran up the steps to talk to Steve. After a few minutes, Bonnie got impatient.
"Hey Sarge. Are we going dancing?" she called out. Bucky turned to face us.
"Yes we are" he called back before turning to say goodbye to Steve.
After dancing with Bucky, he was kind enough to walk me home since Bonnie left us earlier in the night.
"I don't want you to leave" I admitted. Bucky smiled and then leant in and kissed me softly.
"I'll come back and then we can focus on you getting that dreams wedding you have always wanted" Bucky told me, our foreheads still touching.
"Promise me that you will come back" I said. Bucky kissed me again, a more desperate I'll die without you kind of kiss.
"I promise" he told me. "I've got a beautiful woman to come back to Lanie" he reminded me, and I blushed.
"I love you" I told him, making him smile.
"I love you" he returned. "Always."
