IF someone could let me know what they think of this and the ending, i wasnt sure what way to go. It was either this or a party on how it was going to end. Let me know :)
Part 3
Katie had given Steve her number that evening and they arranged to meet up for coffee in a couple of days. Steve started to feel nervous, this was the first time since well…Peggy he'd been interested in someone. He was at the gym taking out his frustration and nervousness on the punching bag. What if he messed it up. What if she didn't like the real him, I mean she didn't know he was Captain America, what if she found out and was horrified. The next thing he knew he had hit the bag and it had gone flying.
"Woah Cap, what's got your knickers in a twist?" He looked over to see Natasha, smirking and leaning against the doorframe.
"Nothing," Steve murmured whilst going to collect a new punching bag. He could see Natasha eyeing him up as she approached him.
"I'm not buying," She said crossing her arms, "who is she?" Steve looked at her in surprise for a few seconds and then tried to compose himself, "Well that answered it, your reaction has given it away. There is a girl."
Steve groaned, "I've got a date tomorrow morning."
"oh wow," Natasha rolled her eyes, "Man, it must be horrible having a date." Steve looked at Natasha and she smirked again, "So what's the problem?"
"It's just been a long time…..since…well any date. It's not like I can go oh dating was different back in my day…She doesn't even know I'm captain America!" Steve drew his attention back to the punching bag.
"Still don't see where the problem is there Cap."
Oh god, Katie pulled herself out of bed. She needed to get ready for her date with Steve…Steve, that absolute hunk of a man. She swore his biceps were as big as her head. When they had grabbed food at the diner, he had been nothing but lovely to her and it made her still feel terrible for talking to him like a jerk. Katie groaned and got herself into the shower and made herself presentable. She went to her wardrobe and picked out the perfect dress, nothing too fancy or too casual and it showed the right amount of boob and leg. She checked the clock. OH for fuck sake – she grabbed her keys and purse and ran out of the apartment, she had exactly five minutes to make it to the coffee shop. Problem was it took about 15 minutes to walk there.
"Why am I always late." She groaned as she started jogging down the street.
Katie made it to the coffee shop five minutes late, she was still jogging when she saw Steve look up and saw her. Of course Katie stopped her pathetic attempt to run and started walking in the hopes that she would be able to recover and be able to breath anytime soon. She brushed her hair out of her face and approached the table Steve was sitting at reading his newspaper. He was smiling at her, obviously amused of how red she was. "I'm so.." she took in a deep breath of air, "I'm late," She took another breath, "sorry"
Steve chuckled and smiled at her, "It's not a problem, I was early." He gestured to the seat opposite him, "Take a seat and I will grab you a coffee." He stood up,
"No, don't be silly. I can get these, I was late after all." Katie went to step forward and Steve put his arm on her shoulder.
"It's fine, let me." He started directing her back towards the seat, she sat down and watched him walk into the coffee shop. She got her phone out and switched it to the camera. Yep, definitely red and sweaty. She groaned and placed her head into her hands and tried to wipe off any sweat.
Steve soon appeared with coffee, he handed Katie her cup and she took it, "Thanks," she said as she took the cup.
"I'm sorry for being late." Katie sipped her coffee, "I didn't want you to think I stood you up, so hence the red and sweaty look." She gestured to herself.
"It's really no issue," Steve mused, "It seems like every time I bump into you you're always running."
Steve watched as Katie laughed, "As you can see I'm an amazing runner, its this and fighting crime at night that keeps me so fit." Katie saw that Steve tense up slightly, "I'm kidding," She said smiling at him and doing a little chuckle, "I'm obviously funnier in my head."
Katie and Steve chatted and throughout their date there was no awkward silences. He felt completely relaxed in her company.
"How long have you been in New York for?" Steve asked
"Oh, about six months," She replied taking another sip of her coffee, "My dad was in the army, so we moved around quite a lot. I'm what you call a Pad brat." She smirked at him, "Also let that be a warning to you, I'm highly skilled in self-defence" Katie let out a laugh which made Steve chuckle. "How long have you been in New York for?"
"Oh, I recently moved back. I grew up in Brooklyn and then just recently moved. You know, no place like home." Steve smiled, shifting slightly in his seat. Steve quickly changed the subject over and throughout the rest of the morning they chatted and laughed together. Katie looked at her watch, "Geez, I didn't realise how long we had been sat here. I need to go stop by at the hospital before 4, mind if we call it a day?" She asked,
"Yeah not a problem. I had fun today," he said to her as he stood up to follow her lead.
"Me too," Katie responded, shuffling and looking uncomfortable, "Maybe yo-"
"Do you want to do it again sometime?" Steve blurted out interrupting her, she smiled at him and nodded,
"Let me give you my number, give me your phone" She took Steve's phone and typed in her number. "Hopefully you don't do the three day rule." She handed his phone back and laughed. "See you soon Steve."
Katie arrived at the hospital still on a high from her date. She made her way through to paediatrics and saw her best friend and colleague Hannah.
"So come on what's the big emergency you couldn't tell me over the phone and I've had to come in to find out what's happening." Katie said as she approached Hannah.
"Oh, you're going to love it. You know how famous actors will come in and see the kids on the wards…" Hannah trailed off, and Katie gave an encouraging nod whilst gesturing with her hands to get to the point, "Well after what happened in New York a few months ago, the Avengers are coming in tomorrow to see some of the kids. So girl, you need to make sure you look your best." Hannah smiled at her.
