So We Meet Again: Prologue
Perhaps he thought that it wasn't as obvious as it seemed. Perhaps he thought she wouldn't come after him. Perhaps it was his fault that he took refuge in the same little cottage she discovered him those many years ago. Despite whatever he may have previously thought about the situation, it no longer mattered. She was already there. She was there, standing underneath the dim lighting that did little to hide her beauty. Due to the lack of lighting, shadows engulfed her body; aiding in pointing out every angular line and every enticing curve that she presented. God, she was gorgeous. But that was beside the point. She was there…in his space.
"So I…assume the whole place is surrounded?" As if it were beyond his control, his face recoiled in disgust. Those words tasted so bitter on his tongue. Those words only brought back memories filled with hatred and fear. And…of course the subtle attraction of meeting the seductive Black Widow for the first time.
"Just you and me," she says as a tempting smirk graces her lips. If he didn't know any better, he would've thought the smile was genuine.
"You do realize that the last time you said that it was complete bullshit?"
"Well, now I realize that neither of us have anything to hide."
"And you assumed that we-that I did last time?" She didn't answer. Instead she slowly slinked across the tiny room, bringing herself to run a delicate finger over every trinket in sight. At this very moment, he was finally able to fully examine her presence. Her body was wrapped in black velvety fabric. Just like last time. However this time, the dress adorned her body with curve hugging madness that admittedly made a cold shiver run down his spine. Almost as if she sensed his furtive, yet greedy glances, she turns her head over her shoulder slightly to glance at him. She smiles; and this one reaches her eyes. Damnit.
"So…what brings you back to this dump?" She says as she continues her slow saunter across the room.
"Good location, lots of people to help," he glances away from her face. "It's the least I could do."
"Try again Bruce."
"I didn't think you would come to look here," he says. "What's that saying about people never hiding in the same place twice?"
"Do you really that lowly of me doll?" She smirks. "You know…for a genius, you sure are stupid." A small smile graces over his lips. And for the first time in months, it's a real one."
"So you've told me."
To be continued. This is the prologue, so I do pan on coming back to finish up on it. I don't plan on making this a exceedingly long story but tell me what you think!
