So things are going to start picking up after this chapter :) I also want to know that when to comes down to Bucky and Louisa getting more intimate, would you guys like a full blown sex scene or implied? I'm cool with both. Again thanks for the support :)


The next day Nat kept to her promise and took me out into the city to show me the sights, she had even woken me up at 6am to get a fulls day worth. I wasn't too happy with that. Steve and Bucky had originally said they would come too but they were called away late last night.

"So what's it like having a boyfriend with a metal arm?" Nat asked conversationally as we sat in some random diner for breakfast.

"I wouldn't call him my boyfriend.." I replied, reading the menu. Pancakes sounded good.

She rolled her eyes. "Okay fine, the guy you are 'kind of' seeing." She used her fingers to air quote kind of.

I had told her the whole conversation from yesterday and the first thing she did was go straight to where Bucky was, then proceeded to threaten him if he didn't treat me right. Safe the say I've never seen someone look so petrified. She then told him that he would have more to deal with when my Dad found out. I was so embarrassed.

Once we had gotten back to my room again, Nat and I had a conversation about how I was going to tell Dad. I argued that I wanted to know what was going to come out of it first before telling him. She reminded me that if I wanted to stay longer I would have to tell him the reason was because of Bucky. It kept slipping my mind that I would have to go back eventually, Dad wasn't going to let me stay here forever.

"Has no difference to me, doesn't matter whether he has a metal arm or not."

"Can I take your order?" A short middle aged woman asked as she positioned herself at our table.

"Yeah, can I get a stack of pancakes with syrup and a hot chocolate with whipped cream?" I said eagerly, I was absolutely starving.

The woman nodded and jotted down my order before turning towards Nat, who smoothly listed off the food she wanted.

"What you did last night was incredibly embarrassing though." I grumbled once the waitress had left.

"Just stating what will happens if he messes you about." Nat smirked.

"I don't think messing me about is top on his list Nat." I replied rolling my eyes. "The poor guy looked mortified, I'm surprised you didn't scare him off."

"I'm sure he can handle more than little old me." She was laughing by now.

"I'd rather you didn't test that theory and I would also prefer it if you didn't scare off the first guy interested in me please."

Nat just winked at me. The breakfasts came soon after and the pancakes were absolutely delicious. I definitely wanted to come here again so made a mental note to bring Bucky next time. We both didn't talk until our food was absolutely devoured, I was ready to order another stack.

"Are you ready for some hardcore sight seeing?" Nat asked as she screwed up a napkin and threw it on her plate.

I nodded eagerly and stood up. I was so excited to see the sights of New York, I wanted to see everything and I had made that clear to Nat who agreed. I followed as she made her way towards the exit, excitement bubbling in my chest.


By the end of the day I was completely and utterly done with being a tourist and just wanted to get back to the tower. Nat had someone come collect us and drop us off which turned out to be a short ten minute journey, I was pleased about this.

When we had gotten up to the secured section, we ran into Tony who had a red haired woman following behind me. As soon as he saw me, Tony smirked widely. I knew what was coming.

"So then Barton Jr.. Is there anything you want to tell me?" He was wiggling his eyebrows as he spoke.

"Nothing that's to do with you." I replied smoothly, trying so hard not to let a blush appear on my face.

"Tony.." The woman behind him said with a warning in her voice, then she stepped forward with her hand out. "Hi I'm Pepper, you must be Louisa right?"

I nodded and took her outstretched hand. "It's nice to meet you Pepper, Tony never stops talking about you."

It was his turn to be embarrassed. Pepper laughed then turn to Tony, whos features had turn sour at being outed.

"Yeah yeah yeah." Tony scoffed. "Come on Pepper, lets get away from these losers." He stuck his tongue out at me as he walked passed.

I chuckled at Tony's childish behavour, then Nat and I walked to the lounge area. The sight that greeted us when we got there was surprising. Sam, Wanda, Steve and Bucky were sat round the table playing monopoly. Well it looked like Sam and Wanda were trying to teach Steve and Bucky how to play it, which seemed to be failing as both had confused looks on their faces.

A snort from Nat alerted them of our presence and all of them looked up at us. Bucky's gazed shifted over me and he gave me one of the biggest smiles I had ever seen him have. I skipped over to the table and seated myself next to Bucky. Instantly, I felt his arm brush my outer thigh and rest there.

"Who's idea was this?" Nat asked as she sat the other side of me.

"Tony's but he got bored and left." Sam answered.

I scoffed, sounded about right. It was a strange sight watching them all play a board game, who could say they had watched the Avengers play monopoly? I sat back and watched the game commense, which was stopping every five minutes to explain the rules to Steve and Bucky. I was so aware of Bucky's hand on my leg and it felt incredibly nice. Without really thinking, I placed my hand over his and squeezed. He turned and gave me a quick peck on the cheek before going back to the game. The blush that had been trying to get out for the past twenty minutes, escaped and brightened up my face. I don't think i would ever stop blushing around Bucky.


It was around 12am when everyone decided to call it a day and go to bed. Bucky offered to walk me to my room which was incredibly cute and I was sure would earn him points from Nat. He had hold of my hand lazily as we walked towards my door, I felt like the butterflies in my belly would burst out soon. We stopped infront of my room and turned towards eachother, there was a small smile playing on his lips.

"I missed you today." I said shyly.

"I missed you too Louisa." He admitted back, he still had hold of my hand and was swinging it slightly.

I became brave and stepped towards him then placed my free hand on his waist, I looked up at him. He easily towered over my frame. Bucky took the hint and leant down to plant a soft kiss on my lips. It didn't last long, just a couple of amazing seconds before he pulled back and pulled me into a hug. I could feel the coldness of his metal arm resting on my back, it was actually quite nice.

"I like this whole relationship thing." He whispered into my hair.

I buried my head into his chest and let out a little sigh, this is where I wanted to be. Somewhere that made me feel warm and fuzzy inside. My heart swelled when he called what we had a relationship.

"So do I."

We both pulled back and he gave me another quick kiss before saying he would come collect me from my room at 8am. I watched him go back down the hallway then unlocked my door and walked into the room.

I quickly changed into my pyjamas and dived into my bed, I hadn't realised how tired I actually was until I snuggled into the duvet. Just as I was falling asleep my phone beeped to alert me I had a text. I picked my phone up and saw the message was from Dad.

From Dad:

Hi Lou, we all decided to take a vacation so we will be getting on the plane to... NEW YORK tomorrow! :) We are all excited to see you, I've missed you baby girl. Dad xxx

I nearly dropped my phone in shock.

Fuck.
