Chapter 7 (Sorry)

Kate's P.O.V

I lay next to Steve in my pyjamas.

"She'll be alright," Steve's hand found mine under the covers.

"I know, but what about Bucky?"

"He dealt a lot of women in his time, don't worry about him, he can handle himself," Steve laughed.

I turned on my side to face him. I traced his jaw line with my fingers before grabbing the back of his neck. "Steve," I whispered before kissing him on the lips. I needed a distraction.

Hannah's P.O.V

We stood silently in the Avenger tower lift. To be honest the silence disturbed me. "Let's not talk about the kiss, " I didn't even turn to speak to him. I didn't need the awkward tension.

"Alright," was all he said. More silence.

"It was a good idea by the way."

"What was?" Bucky turned round to face me.

"The room and the kiss."

"What happened to let's not talk about the kiss?" Bucky raised his eyebrow at me, tilting his head.

"Ummm..." I shrugged.

"Let me guess," Bucky coughed. "It's complicated," he said in a high pitched voice with a dodgy British accent.

I rolled my eyes at him. "Very."

"Let me know if you want to unravel the complicated things," Bucky politely smiled at me before turning back around. I too felt myself smiling. What the hell was this guy doing to me?

"What are we gonna tell 'em?" Bucky swung forward on the balls of his feet.

"Aren't you the babysitter?" I asked, walking to stand next to him.

"You can look after yourself," Bucky looked at me, his expression unreadable.

"Yeah," I sighed.

"I just tagged along for the adrenaline," Bucky smirked at me.

"Mmmmhmmm," I tapped the foot of my right leg. My metal leg.

"Who...urrr..." Bucky looked down at my leg.

"HYDRA."

The word hung in the air before Bucky spoke "I'm sorry."

I laughed. "For what?"

"Ummm..." His cheeks went slightly red.

"You can't do anything about it. It's happened, it's in the past. Let's just get on with the future," I shrugged.

"I'm also sorry for what I'm about to do."

"What?" I asked, tensing.

Bucky's right hand wound it's way round my neck. "This," Bucky's lips were on mine before I could do anything about it. I sighed his name onto his lips. I couldn't love him. I couldn't love anyone. Not after what happened to me. But for now I could just play along, I wasn't a heart breaker. Or was I?

Kate's P.O.V

"Mr Barnes and Miss Winter are in the lift," Jarvis's voice echoed in our room, I quietly slipped out of bed so I wouldn't wake Steve up, and went to the living room where I would see Hannah Arrive with Bucky.

"What are they doing in the lift?" Tony sat on the sofa with Pepper. Pepper was expecting and preferred to go to sleep later and wake up later. Whatever worked I suppose.

"I... They appear to be kissing, sir," Jarvis, a computer, sounded embarrassed.

I gasped.

"Hey Kate," Pepper smiled at me patting the seat next to her. "Looks like they've hit off, project lovebird is in motion." I sat down next to her.

"Miss Winter has just slapped Mr Barnes," Jarvis reported.

What?

Tony just laughed. "Ha, she's a bit of a bitch isn't she?"

"No," I sighed. "She just doesn't want to be loved. She pushes everyone away." I shook my head. Now I know why.

Hannah's P.O.V

Bucky's eyes shone with tears. I'd just slapped him. He'd already said sorry. Now it was my turn. "I'm sorry, I just..." I felt my voice crack. "Can't."

I stepped away from him as the lift door opened.

"Hannah," Kate stood up watching me warily.

"My room?" I asked. "Please."

"This way," Pepper slowly stood up and motioned for me to follow her. She had a baby bump. Was I that self absorbed not to notice anything? At all?

I walked with her. Past Bucky. I didn't look at him. I couldn't. I needed to make it clear I wasn't interested. I didn't have feelings for him. I didn't get butterflies when I looked into his eyes. Or that's what I was trying to persuade myself at this precise moment in time.

Let me know what you think xx 😃
