Will He Ever Remember Me?

Steve and I have been in this hotel for 3 days, he still doesn't remember me or anything since he came out of the ice. I've noticed that he hasn't really been trying, I'm starting to think he might not want to remember, he doesn't ask questions about anything. He's so different, I'm mean he's still polite, a gentleman and a good man but something is off, I don't know how to help him by this point. I was so happy that he was alive but every day that goes by of him not knowing me my heart breaks more and more. I don't know how much longer I can take it.

"Just so you know, tomorrow we're leaving." He tells me.

"Where are we going?" I ask him.

"I'm taking you to a different hotel, it's best to not stay in the same location for too long." He explains, "The place I'm taking you to is going to be much nicer then this, I don't think they will find you there while I'm gone."

"Your leaving?"

"Yeah, I still need to find Ross and I can't do that hiding and you'll be safe until then." He told me.

When he told me this I got a lump in my throat, I was terrified that once he did find Ross he would take me home and I would never see him again. The mere thought of this was becoming my worst nightmare.

He stands up and starts to walk to the door, "I'm going to get some supplies." He tells me.

"Like what?" I ask.

"Well, we've been in this hotel for 3 days, I thought you might like some new clothes and other stuff while your at the other hotel since I don't know how long I will be," He told me.

"Oh yeah...that would be nice." I tell him trying to smile, to not show that I am getting emotional...again.

"Okay, I'll be right back, make sure you lock this." He starts walking to the door but before he opens it he then turns around, "...don't leave."

"I won't." I say, he gives me a sweet smile as he walks out. I go up and lock it, "Steve, your killing me here." I talk to myself as I close my eyes and lean my head on the door for a second.

He comes back an hour later, he got me several supplies of shampoo and conditioner, soap, food to take with me and clothes.

"Are these alright? I didn't know what you liked so I just had to guess." He asked as he shows me the clothes.

"They're nice, good choices." I tell him, I wasn't saying that to be nice, they actually were nice, I would have picked them out myself, "How did you know my size?"

"Mostly I just guessed." He answered.

"Well, thank you." I smile.

"Your welcome," He smiled at me, we look into each other's eyes for a few minutes, he was about to say something until suddenly his phone starts to ring, he looks at it. "I'm sorry, I have to take this outside." He says as he steps outside, that gave me a few minutes to breathe again, he continues to take my breath away. He comes back a few minutes later, "Iris, I have to go meet someone, I should be back soon." He tells me.

"Okay, be careful." He gives me a little grin and shuts the door.

It's been an hour and half since he's been gone and I decide to take a shower, now I have everything I need. I smell the shampoo and it's strawberry, this made me smile because he got me my favorite smell! Soon later I get out and as I am drying my body the door burst open.

"Iris?" Steve shouts out, I cover my front with the towel but my whole back is expose to him, he is facing my entire back, just a little peak of the top of my bum is showing.

"Steve! God, you scared me." I sigh.

"Sorry." He sighs in relief.

"Are you okay?" I ask him.

"Yeah...I came back and you weren't in the room...I thought something happened to you."

"I'm fine, just taking a shower." I smile, he was worried about me!

"I see that." He says as he looks up and down my body, I continue to dry myself and am not too worried about him seeing anything, my back is still very exposed, "Your not very shy, are you?"

"Not with you..." I say softly, "I mean, you've seen me naked several times."

"See...that doesn't sound like me...I'm..." He starts to say.

"A virgin?...you were a virgin." I finish his sentence.

"We really um...um..." He tried to ask getting nervous and shy.

"Sex? Yes." I answer him, he looked so cute with his face all red, it has been a while since I have seen him flustered.

I don't know why I decided to be this forward with him. Before I was trying to be sensitive and be patient with him but at this moment I was done doing that right now and besides this was the first time that he was actually asking questions about us or anything and I was not going to let it go to waste. I thought right now I have got nothing to lose, after we leave to go to the new hotel tomorrow I won't see him for a while and most likely wouldn't have this chance again.

"Many times." I continue to say as I turn my head to smile at him, "What? Did you think I was lying when I told you we were together?" I move my hair to the side of my shoulder and expose more of my back to him.

"No not lying...it's just everything your telling me doesn't sound like me at all." I notice him still looking down my exposed back and legs.

"Really? If that doesn't sound like you then why haven't you left the room yet?" I ask as I turn around completely to him with the towel around me.

"What?"

"Well, the old Steve before we got together would have immediately apologize and shut the door right away." I say as I walk to him, it forces him to back himself up against the door, "But your still standing here...checking me out." I look up at him.

"I'm not checking you out." He blurts out as he clearly looks down my body with just his eyes.

"No?"

"No, not at all" He smiled and started to flirt! "I just don't know who or what to believe anymore."

"Me...you were always able to trust me." I softly said.

After everything that's happened these past few days, there was still this intense energy between us, which made this whole situation so much harder and frustrating, I know he feels it too but he's being so stubborn! He would look at me and it would bring me back to the first time we looked into each other's eyes...full of lust. He keeps looking down at my body and back up to my eyes, I give him a little flirty smile and he gives me one right back. He begins to reach for my hips and he leans in, I breathe heavy with anticipation, I am letting him take the lead and as our lips are about to touch he suddenly stops and pulls back, he points his finger at my chest.

"Where did you get those?" He asks, he's pointing to my scars on my chest, after all this time I still have scars from those guys. They weren't as noticeable as they use to be but I think they will always be there.

"...That's how we met...2 men attacked me and you saved me..." I answered softly, "You healed and took care of me, you said... I could trust you."

"Um excuse me, I need to get some air." He suddenly says, before I could say anything he left the bathroom and I heard him shut the front door.

I was kicking myself, I knew I shouldn't have pushed him too hard and too fast! I completely overwhelmed him, I was never planning on going THIS forward with him and never intended to try to kiss him but he made it so difficult! Something happened to me when he looked at my body with full of lust with those piercing blue eyes and was flirting with me with that beautiful smile, I could see the old Steve again and it pulled me to him, damn him! I have to be more careful before I completely push him away!

(Steve POV)

Steve had to get some air, everything was happening so fast. He wasn't expecting to stare at her as long as he did, something about her body was familiar but she was also so sexy and for him he had just lost Peggy 4 months ago and it was scary that he was having feelings for someone he didn't remember, he is really starting to believe her when she says they were a couple and in love...it was terrifying him! When she first told him they were lovers he didn't believe her, maybe he didn't want to. He didn't know if he should trust her, it was hard to trust anyone.

She had this strong pull on him that was bringing him to her and he was going to kiss her until he looked down and saw scars on her chest, suddenly he got flashes of her chest being bloody and her being in pain, then flashes of him touching them sensually and kissing them like he was trying to make the pain go away and feeling...love. He slunk down to the floor trying for the first time to remember but he couldn't remember anything else. About 10 minutes later with no success he walked back inside, she was getting into the bed, "Sorry." He could only say.

"No, I'm sorry." She said softly.

"What are you sorry for?" He asks.

"I shouldn't be so forward...I shouldn't have overwhelmed you." She tells him.

"It's okay..." He replies, she smiles at him. He sits on the bed.

"No, it's not...yes I want you to remember but...not like that." She said.

"Iris...it's okay..." He repeated, she gave him a cute reassuring smile that melted him.

"Where did you have to go before?" She asked after a few minutes of silence.

"Oh, I just had to meet my informant" He answered.

She nodded her head and they both laid down in the bed and put the covers over them. He wasn't as far away as he was the first night there, every night he got a little bit closer to her, "Iris...I do want to remember you...I wish I did." Not only did she know he was telling her the truth because he never lies but she saw it in his eyes as well.

She turns to face him, "I know..." Is the only thing she can say at that moment. "Goodnight Steve." She says as she lightly touches his face and leans in and kisses his cheek right near his lips, her lips lingered for a few more seconds. He wanted to bring her back but she made him freeze up and once he snapped out of it she had already gone back onto her side of the bed. She turned her body so she was laying on her side, him facing her back. He put his hand on his cheek where she had kissed him, her lips were so warm and so soft...he wanted to feel that again.

He falls asleep and he is having that dream again, he hasn't had one of those since he's been with Iris. He again is following the same woman, wearing the same pale pink thin flowing skirt and white tanktop, trying to reach for her hand. This time though he notices that her back and hair looks familiar, it reminds him of Iris! This causes him to try harder then he ever has to reach her hand and get to her, "Wait!" He shouts.

"Steve, what about me?" Peggy asks in the distance.

This time Steve doesn't even look back at Peggy, "Steve?" He continues to hear behind him but he keeps going to reach for her hand and he finally does! He finally reaches her hand for the first time! He is relieved and she stops and turns around, "Iris?" He asks shocked that it actually really was her. She is smiling, she looks so beautiful.

"Remember me Steve...come back to me." She whispers holding his face gently with both hands.

She leans in and kisses his lips and he kisses back. Suddenly his eyes shoot open, everything comes flashing back to him from waking up in 2011, the attack on New York and Sokovia, The Avengers and the past 3 years with Iris. He is at loss for words, still trying to get his head on straight while she's smiling.

"You finally found me!" She smiles with tears in her eyes, he smiles back.

He jolts up from the bed, he is sweating and breathing heavy. He goes into the bathroom and looks in the mirror. He remembers everything, just like in his dream. He was still processing but everything was starting to me sense. He heard someone quietly walk into the bathroom.

"Steve? Are you okay?" Iris calls out.

"Iris!" He smiles.

Yes he remembers everything! It's about time, right?
