Chapter 10 is really short! I'm sorry but I've been a little busy. Thank you for understanding. I promise the next chapter will be a lot longer. I also felt like there wasn't much I could add to this chapter without making it redundant. Regardless I hope you enjoy this chapter and this story!

Bruce went to bed frustrated and angry. He just couldn't believe Natasha; he had been nothing but a gracious host. For some reason Natasha was taking his kind actions as ones of affection. Even if he really did have any feelings for her that went beyond liking he would never act on them. For one thing the other guy terminated any chance of him of ever getting into any type of relationship. Second even before he knew about Natasha' history with her husband he had gotten the idea that she wasn't the relationship type. It didn't matter what his feelings were for her, they could never be together. He wouldn't allow himself to be with her and she wouldn't allow herself to be with him. Bruce spent all night thinking about this and he couldn't fall asleep.


As Natasha attempted to fall asleep a bout of insomnia took over and all she could think about was Bruce. She was now calm and when she recalled everything she had said to him she started to feel embarrassed. Not only had she overreacted she had probably alienated Bruce and practically confessed to having feelings for her. What the hell was wrong with her? Bruce had done nothing to deserve this. Yet the way he handled her outburst was admirable. She needed to apologize first thing tomorrow. Natasha planned out exactly how she would apologize. She felt restless and she couldn't sleep. A nagging thought in her a head kept pestering her and she kept thinking about her apology. She couldn't sleep and she gave on trying when the clock read 4:30. She decided she'd better start packing her bags now. Packing her bags took less than 20 minutes because she had only spent a couple days here. She sat on her bed still not knowing what to do for a few minutes. Suddenly the perfect idea popped into her head. She would make Bruce breakfast as part of her apology. Sure she wasn't some famous chef but she knew how to cook. Natasha walked out of her room and into the tiny kitchen to see what he had in his fridge and pantry so she could decide what to cook. While she was looking through his fridge she felt something so she froze and turned around. Bruce was standing there looking a little confused in his pajamas. Natasha was happy to see him now she could finally apologize and get this huge weight off her chest.

"I see you're getting a snack at…" he paused to look at his watch "5:12 in the morning." He wondered what she could be doing so early in the morning.

Natasha closed the fridge door, "actually I was going to make you breakfast as an apology for yesterday. I need to apologize for the way I behaved yesterday. I completely overreacted and I'm sorry for my outburst."

Bruce stood there looking a little awkward. "Its fine I guess. I mean I of all people understand what it's like to lose control once in a while."

"I don't what came over me. I couldn't sleep all night and I couldn't take it anymore so I was going to make you a surprise apology breakfast."

"You don't have to; does that mean you're going to stay?" Bruce asked hopefully. He decided it was best not to mention the fact that he had stayed up all night thinking about her.

"Do you want me to stay?" she asked looking a little uncertain. On one hand she wanted to stay on the other she didn't want to disturb and bother Bruce anymore.

"Yes, I want you to stay," he replied. "So how about that breakfast you promised me?" he smiled.

"Coming right up." Natasha was grateful that Bruce had allowed her to stay after her fit. She was going to make sure that this breakfast was the best he'd ever had.
