Guys I am so sorry it took me so long to update again. I've been really working on my other story, "The Girl of the Wild" and just haven't made time for this story. But, I'm here for an update, so please don't hate me too much! Okay, here we go.
Steve opened the door of the café for Rebecca and they walked in. She grabbed her apron and tied it around her waist as she looked back at Steve with a smile. He was smiling and looked down for a moment before looking back at her. "I had fun," he said.
"I did too," the redhead said shyly, hoping that Steve would ask her on another date sometime soon, which he did. She quickly agreed and he smiled once more before saying goodbye and leaving. Rebecca sighed distractedly and turned around and jumped. "Oh my God, Emily, you scared me to death," she said, placing a hand over her racing heart. Emily tended to just pop out of nowhere, but seemed not to mind at all as she pulled Rebecca behind the counter and into the kitchen.
"You're late," the brunette deadpanned, looking at Rebecca sternly as she finally let go of the girl's arm. Rebecca got worried. She had been too busy with Steve to notice that she had arrived late. Was Emily really mad? They were friends, but Emily was also her boss. Was she going to subtract pay… or worse? Was she going to fire her? Rebecca began to panic before she saw a small smile creep up on Emily's face. "I'm guessing that means it went well?" She asked and Rebecca gave a relieved sigh.
"Yes, that means it went well." She said happily, telling her friend that Steve had already asked her to a second date. The shorter woman smiled and clasped her hands together, her eyes glowing.
"How exciting!" She said and Rebecca nodded, already focusing on getting her notepad and pen to take orders. Emily began to leave.
"Emily?" Rebecca called, causing the brunette woman to stop and turn around.
"Yes?"
"Thank you," Rebecca said sincerely. "If it weren't for your convincing, I wouldn't have ever gone on a date with Steve, so thank you."
Emily smiled happily. "You're welcome, Rebecca," and she turned around and left the kitchen, still smiling. She was happy to finally see her friend happy. Emily hadn't seen her truly smile since the fall of SHIELD and her parents' death.
"This Steve is good for Becca. I know she blames SHIELD for her parent's death and I'm glad she finally has someone to take her mind away from the tragedy," she thought, but oh, how wrong she was.
AN: I know, I know, it's short, but at least it's here! SO, how did SHIELD cause her parent's death? Hmm… Please, review and tell me what you think.
