Bucky's P.O.V.

"Steve when are you going to learn to walk away." I said to my best friend as we walked down the street towards the park. Steve has just gotten himself into another fight when I came upon him and had to intervene. I heard Steve sigh and say nothing but just continued to walk. Every once in a while I would smile at the girls that would pass them by. I knew what people thought of me, a "Skirt Chaser", Casanova, and playboy, but I didn't care. I looked ahead and say what had to be the most gorgeous looking girl sitting on a park bench just staring out into space. I barely registered Steve saying something to me before the girl in question looked up and smiled at us.

Out of the corner of my eye I saw Steve waving to her, and couldn't help but wonder what the hell was going on. I leaned down and whispered to him. "Do you know her? More importantly… HOW do you know her?"

Steve looked up at me with a confused face. "Do you ever listen to me Bucky? Her name is Karina, I met her at one art class last week, and invited her to meet us for lunch." He walked a head of me, and I couldn't help but wonder how I forgot that conversation. Especially since it involved Steve inviting a girl. He was the most nervous individual around any type of woman.

I shook my head and put my most charming smile on my face walking up to Steve and the woman that was no speaking to him with the million dollar smile. When I came up to them she looked at me and continued to smile.

Steve glanced up at me and then back to the woman. I saw the smirk growing on his face before he decided to speak. "Karina this is my best friend Bucky. Bucky this is Karina." I held my hand out to her and she took it in greeting.

"Pleasure to meet you Karina." I tried to give her my most charming smile that always works, but she smiled and looked back towards Steve. What the hell…. That always works with any woman.

"Steve, thank you so much for inviting me to lunch with you too. I needed to get out the house. My brother was becoming more irritating then usual…. And I didn't think that was even possible." I could hear the irritation in her voice as I walked behind her and Steve. I was still in shock that she seems to be ignoring me, though I brush it off.

We reached the diner that Steve and I always eat at, mainly because it was the most affordable place in Brooklyn. Though we both worked, money was still tight. As I sat in the booth on one side with Steve, Karina sat opposite us. I took the opportunity to really get a good look at her. Her long dark brown hair was hanging loose and curling at the bottom. She seemed to be wearing makeup but it was minimal, not at all like the usual girls he was with, her lips were a slight red, from the lipstick that she wore. What held me more captivated was her eyes. Every time they looked at me it felt like my world had stopped.

The waitress came and took our orders as Steve got up from the booth saying he would be right back. I looked over to Karina and sand saw her fidgeting with the ends of her hair. "So tell me about yourself Karina." She looked up at me and smiled.

"Not really much to tell. I live with my brother here in Brooklyn, I enjoy art, and singing. Rather boring actually." She shrugged her shoulder and looked down as the waitress brought us our food and drinks. I continued to look at her, but she just stared at the food.

Karina's POV

Seriously Karina…. What is wrong with you…. I stared at the plate of food trying my hardest to not look up at the man in question. I feels like an eternity that Steve has been gone. I look up at Bucky and he has an un recognizable gaze. "Can I ask you a question?" I saw him smile him and nod his head at me. "Why Bucky?"

Bucky's grin grew just a bit more as he looked down at his plate. "Promise not to laugh?" He asked me as he looked up at me. I nodded my head, now very much intrigued. "My full name is James Buchannan Barnes. No one calls me James but my mother and Steve turned my horrible middle name into Bucky." His eyes held mine and I smiled at him. Something inside me stirred just a tiny bit as his blue eyes looked into mine, almost making my breathe catch.

"Well…. Now that makes sense…. James…" I see him raise an eyebrow at me as I say his first name. I can't help but smile. Nothing else is said as Steve comes back to the booth, and glances between us. I see him raise an eyebrow at us. The rest of the lunch is surrounded by jokes, and easy conversation.

A art of me feels bad for no revealing who I am related to from Steve and Bucky, but I have learned that the moment people hear the last name 'Stark' things become strange and awkward. We finished our meal and I reach for my purse to help pay for it, but Bucky places his hand on mine and shakes his head.

"What kind of gentlemen would we be if we let the lady pay for her own lunch?" Bucky asks me.

"Really… I can pay…" I insisted but he just smiled and looked at Steve, who also nodded his agreement with Bucky. Sighing in defeat I look at them both. "Thank you. You are very kind" I smiled at them, and we make our way out of the diner back towards the park.

"I had a wonderful time gentlemen. I don't get out very often and having such great company is always a welcomed treat." I tell them.

"You should come out with us more often. I could always use the company whenever Bucky wanders off with a dame….." Steve starts to say and I look at Bucky as he smacks him on the back of his head. I smile at them both as we come upon the bench that I met them at.

"I would love to Steve. It was a pleasure meeting you ….James….." I smiled at Bucky, and went on my way home. I glanced behind me, and saw Bucky staring at me smiling.

Bucky's POV

I watch her walk away from Steve and me. Until she is no longer in my vision.

"James….You hate when people call you James" I hear Steve say to me with a chuckle in his voice. I turn to look at him and just shrug. Not her. I tell myself and grin putting my hands in the pockets of my jacket.

"Let's head home." I tell Steve and he just laughs and shakes his head following next to me.

That's Chapter 2. I hope you guys like it, finally got some Bucky Karina action. Let me know what you guys think!
