Hi everyone. This is the first time I publish something in here. I already published this story in the German FanFiction archive, but I want it to share with you too. (Just in case someone is reading this and it sounds familiar to him.)
English is not my mother language, so I am sorry for any grammatical mistakes. I hope you will enjoy it even though.
It was a nice and warm spring day in New York. The first of this year. Maria stood at the big window in her office in the Avenger Tower and faces the sun. She enjoyed the warm sunbeams warming her face and her lips twisted into a small smile. Not only because of the joy of the beautiful weather, but also because of the thoughts of yesterday.When it knocked on the door, she almost shed her coffee she is holding it in her hand. She turned in the direction of the sound and cleared their throat. "Yes?" Spencer, Maria's best friend, is standing in the doorway. "Hey, I'm hungry and was near you, I thought I'd come over and ask if you want to come with me", said the blond woman who is now standing in Marias office. "Hello Spence!", Maria said in surprise as she hugged her friend. "This is so nice that you come here extra, but I have a meeting now." "Oh Maria, you work too much! When was the last time you were elsewhere than here or at home? We have not seen each other for such a long time and I miss our lunch dates. Can you maybe move the meeting?" "I think I could postpone it by 2 hours.", Maria said, smiling over at her friend. "Very well! Then let's go. Two hours are over faster than you think." They went over to the elevators. When the door opened, Steve Rogers came towards them. He glanced at Maria and smiled. When he realized that she was not alone, his features became swift and with a short nod and a "Hill" he passed them. "Rogers", Maria replied. When the doors closed, Maria saw that he turned around again. "Oh God! He is really hot!", Spencer giggled as the doors closed. Maria smiled nervously for a moment and noticed how her face blushed a little. Fortunately, the light in the elevator was so dark that Spencer did not notice.
The two women sat in a restaurant near the Central Park, right by the window. They had eaten their ordered salads and drank both the homemade lemonade. "... should not be offended right away. I mean, what does he think who he is, that he can talk to me like that. You would have done that too, right? Maria? Hey, are you even listening to me?" Spencer snapped her fingers in front of Maria's face. "Mhhh, what?", Maria looked at her confused. "What's wrong with you? You've been so lost in thought all along." Maria tried to stop the smile, but she did not quite succeed. "Maria, now tell me. There is something. Or should I ask someone?", Spencer asked curiously. "Maybe ...", Maria answered a little sheepishly. "Come on tell me, who is it? " "I will not tell you. Besides, nothing has happened yet.", Maria said timidly. "How nothing happened? What's that supposed to mean? " "Well, we met only once, and not on purpose. Yesterday I met him by chance in the park and we went for a walk and talked. For a very long time..." "Yeah, and then what happened?", Spencer asked excitedly. "Nothing. He brought me home and we said goodbye. Then he left. However, since then he dont get out of my head." "Maria, but you're not talking about the Captain, right?" Maria looked up immediately and stuttered a bit awkwardly: "What? No, how do you get this idea?" "You did! Then I did not just imagine that he smiled at you in the elevator! You and Captain Am-" "Pssst! Not so loud!" Maria interrupted her, "There's nothing at all. I told you that nothing happened. Besides, I do not even know if he thinks the same way." Spencer looked at her intently. "And what do you want to do about it?" "I have no idea ...", sighed Maria, looking out the window.
