CHAPTER 4

The rest of the night passed by too quickly for both Steve and Olivia. After the Ferris Wheel they went to the games where Steve won a stuffed elephant for her. Steve was kind of disappointed that it wasn't one of the bigger prizes but felt better when he noticed Olivia holding it to her chest like he had given her a million-dollar gift.

Everything was going so well. They talked about art, about music, films, sports, their hobbies, likes, dislikes and it seemed like even with their very evident differences they were very compatible. At one point in the night they forgot the rides and just walked around the fair arm in arm, talking.

Steve noticed how much Olivia used her hands when she spoke about something she was passionate about. He loved that her palms were rough yet delicate from all the mechanical things she mentioned she loved to do. Steve was utterly entranced. Olivia was genuinely interested in everything Steve said. The meatheads that usually took her out barely had any smart topics to discuss but Steve seemed to be an endless bag of fun and interesting topics. It was a night filled with laughter. After a while Steve even stopped worrying that her attention would drift to one of the many soldiers that roamed the fair. Olivia´s hypnotizing eyes were so focused on Steve that he felt his insecurities slowly leave his body. 'I could really fall for this dame.' Steve thought.

The thought startled Steve and he gasped involuntarily. "Are you ok?" she asked concerned.

"Everything's great." Steve said with a content smile.

They decided to sit down on a table near the food vendors. They were deep in a conversation about The Wizard of Oz when a voice interrupted them.

"Olivia!" a muscled soldiers yelled. He walked up to their table wolf whistling while he looked her up and down.

Olivia felt her blood boiling as she looked at the smug idiot she unfortunately knew. "What do you want, Vic?" She asked annoyed.

Vic smiled smugly and puffed his chest. "I saw your pretty little figure walking around and at first I thought: Olivia? A girl like her wouldn't come here. Much less with a boy like that." He added with disgust towards Steve. "But look at my luck! It is you! Lose the dweeb and let's go share a milkshake." The idiot ordered more than asked.

Steve tensed because of the way the soldier was speaking to Olivia. She sighed and turned back to Steve, her back to Vic. "I'm on a date, Vic. Leave I don't want you here."

Steve's mouth couldn't help but twitch upwards, glad she wanted to stay. Olivia's eyes glimmered as she stared back at Steve.

Vic growled and Steve quickly stood up ready to get between Olivia and this soldier. "I said let's go!" Vic ordered.

"The lady said leave." Steve said firmly. His stance was ready for a fight and even though Olivia was flattered he wanted to stand up for her, she was worried he'd get hurt because of her.

The soldier sneered while looking down at Steve. "You're actually going to pick this wimp over me? What happened? You already slept with all of New York so you have to go for the rejects now?"

"Hey!" Steve yelled and punched him in the face. Vic was surprised by the hit but retaliated quickly and socked Steve in the jaw.

"Don't touch him!" Olivia shouted. She knew from their one date that Vic had a trick knee so that's what she went for. She kicked him as hard as she could and Vic went down.

Olivia and Steve both froze realizing what just happened. Vic's friends were making their way quickly through the crowd ready to defend their friend when they saw him go down. Steve was the first to react, he grabbed Olivia's hand and ran. Usually Steve would stay and fight. He'd never back down but right now he had Olivia to think about. He had to keep her safe.

They shoved and pushed their way through the crowded fair trying to out run the soldiers following them. Steve felt like his lungs were on fire and he knew he was on the brink of an asthma attack.

Olivia signaled for Steve to take a quick turn down a pathway that led to other eating establishments. Once there they saw Bucky and Elizabeth sitting sharing a hotdog. Bucky stood quickly when he saw Steve agitated.

"What happened?" Bucky asked

"Nothing, we're fine." Steve answered through pants. He was having an asthma attack.

"Steve, why were you running? You have asthma!" Bucky scolded him.

"Steve?" Olivia asked worried.

Steve wanted to answer but he couldn't breathe properly. He had his hand on his chest trying to control his breathing. Olivia's eyes widen and she dragged Steve into the small café.

Once inside the café Olivia quickly ran towards one of the waitresses. "I need access to your refrigerator. My date is having an asthma attack." she urgently said. The waitress looked startled but nodded and pointed in the direction of the kitchen.

Olivia dragged Steve along and opened the refrigerator, she helped him sit close to it. "Take deep breaths of the cold air." She gently ordered.

Steve did as told and was surprised to find that it actually worked. The pressure in his lungs was decreasing. He wiped the sweat from his brow and kept the process of taking deep breaths till he felt well enough.

"Thank you." Steve whispered looking up at Olivia from his position on the floor. Olivia just smiled and offered him her hand to help him stand up. She grabbed a bunch of napkins and put a few ice cubes in them. They both walked back out to the café.

Steve motioned for her to sit and she did. He was going to walk to the other side of the booth to sit in front of her but Olivia stopped him by pulling him towards her. He fell into the booth with an ungraceful plop.

"Are you feeling better?" Olivia asked as she gently pressed the ice to Steve´s jaw. Even with her gentle touch Steve winced and Olivia looked apologetic.

"I'll be alright." Steve commented and shot her a graceful smile.

"How did you know about the cold air?" Steve wondered

"It's kind of in my job description to know everything." She joked. Olivia decided as she watched him take deep breaths of cold air to regain his breathing that if he asked she'd tell him who she really was. Steve was an amazing guy and she was hoping he wouldn't disappoint her.

Steve was going to ask about her job when Bucky barged into the café followed by Elizabeth.

"Are you alright?" He asked. Once Steve nodded Bucky hit him in the head. "What were you thinking? You got in a fight? And with Olivia there?"

"Some soldier wasn't treating her right. I had to do something. Plus, she threw the last punch or kick to be more specific." Steve said proudly making Olivia blush.

Elizabeth's mouths dropped.

"You kicked a soldier?!" Elizabeth squeaked

"I kicked Vic in a soldier's uniform." Olivia defended her eyes clouding a bit with hate towards the jerk. 'Why was the army full of guys like Vic and not Steve?'

Steve reached his hand out toward hers to hold it.

Both Bucky and Elizabeth were speechless and couldn't find anything else to scold their friends about so they just sighed and left.

"Walk me to the fair's entrance? We can wait for Bucky and Elizabeth there." Olivia offered.

"It would be my pleasure." Steve answered politely making Olivia giggle.

They walked hand in hand to the entrance and only had to wait about 15 minutes till Bucky and Elizabeth joined them. "Let's walk these ladies home, shall we?" Bucky exclaimed causing Elizabeth to squeal and cling to his waist.

They walked ahead of Olivia and Steve who were walking quietly enjoying each other's presence and dreading the end of the night.

They made it to Elizabeth's apartment and decided to say their goodbyes while Bucky found whatever he seemed to have lost inside Lizzie's mouth.

"Best night of your life?" Olivia teased not really expecting an answer.

Steve looked intently at her brown eyes "Definitely." he stated with confidence.

They stood looking deeply into each other's eyes.

Olivia's mind was going crazy. She finally found a guy she liked, a genuine guy with smart and funny conversation topics. A guy that stood up for her. A polite guy, A cute guy with captivating blue eyes. A guy that definitely deserved the world and she had to leave in a week. Fate was cruel and liked to play games on Olivia.

Steve couldn't help but feel his heart swell. He found a girl that enjoyed his company, the scrawny guy from Brooklyn. He wasn't sure if she was interested in more than a friendship with him but he wanted, no, he needed to see her again.

Steve gathered all his courage. "Olivia...do you...would you like to go out again sometime?"

Olivia frowned and Steve's heart sank. He could've sworn they had a nice time. Maybe it was all in his head, maybe he read too much into it, maybe life was back to normal and Olivia finally realized how sickly he was.

"Steve, I would love to. I really would but I'm leaving in a week."

Steve wanted to believe her but she was different from all the girls he'd been set up with. She was probably lying to spare his feelings. And if she was telling the truth than life was unfair.

Steve gave her a soft smile that didn't reach his eyes. He shoved his hands inside his jacket pockets and shuffled in place. He really wanted Bucky to finish so he could leave.

Olivia didn't want the night to end like that so she closed the distance between them and threw her arms around his neck. "I had a really great time. Best night ever." She whispered as she nuzzled his neck.

Steve froze at first but after a few seconds he reacted and wrapped his arms around her waist.

They broke apart just as Elizabeth was opening the door and Bucky was walking down the steps. "I really do hope I see you again someday." Olivia said

"I'm counting on it." Steve answered confidently causing Olivia to giggle.

He watched her walk away mesmerized.

"You ask her out again?" Bucky asked

"She's leaving in a week." Steve answered slightly disappointed but still feeling giddy from their hug.

"That's too bad, Steve." Bucky said clapping him on the back. "No matter! I have plans for us next weekend."

"I don't think I want to go out next weekend, Buck."

"Sure you do! We're going to the Stark Expo!" Bucky exclaimed as they walked to their apartment.
