The sun shone through the gap between the closed curtains, causing dust to dance in the glow. The strip of light lit the bedroom up as noon slowly rolled by.
The alarm clock had been knocked off the bedside counter earlier that morning and laid on the wooden ground, blinking but with no sound.
Steve woke to a quiet moan from Maria, her hand slowly sliding up his bear stomach to rest on his chest.
He lifted his head up from the soft white pillow to plant a small good morning kiss on the top of Maria's head where it laid on his chest.
She let a smile appear on her face, eyes fluttering opening. She titled her head to look up at him and he smiled back.
"Morning," he mumbled, his voice rough and tired.
"Morning," she replied back with a small smile.
"You look beautiful," he told her. Her hair was all swept over to one side, her face bear with only a smile on it. The strip of sunlight hit one side of her face, lighting up her greyish blue eyes.
Maria just gave him a look that caused him to chuckle before she lifted her head, looking down at the broken alarm clock.
"You owe me an alarm clock," sh simply said, reaching over to grab her phone from off the bedside table.
"I'll buy you a million new alarm clocks," Steve said, too happy to care deeply about the broken clock. She glanced at the time on her phone before groaning, placing the phone back and resting her head back on Steve's chest.
"I'm late," Maria simply said. She was more then just late, she was incredible late. She was late by six and a half hours, having to get in to work by five this morning.
"I don't think they'll mind if we're a little bit more late," Steve said, knowing he was also late to work by three hours.
She looked at him before moving to be on top of him. She placed a gentle kiss on his lips as he rested his hands on her hips. She ran her hands through his hair before he moved and kissed her on the jaw and then on the neck. She moaned slightly before she suddenly moved, sliding out of bed quicker then he could tell her to stop.
"What..." He finally said as she tiptoed over to her work clothes that rested on the back of her desk chair. She had her back to him with the sun light showing all of her curves.
"Unlike you I actually have to show up to work," Maria said and Steve took a sharp intake of breath, pretending to be offended by her words.
"That's just a low blow," Steve said.
"I've done enough blowing," Maria said with a smirk before walking into the bathroom. Steve smirked before resting his head back down against the pillow, staring up at the ceiling.
Finally his life seemed peaceful.
Everything was in place and he had the girl of his dreams back with him. A sloppy smile appeared on his face as Maria walked out of the bathroom a minute later, all dressed and ready for work.
"I love you," Steve then said as she bent down next to the bed to pick up the broken alarm clock.
"New one. By tomorrow," Maria said before grabbing her phone and calling into work.
"Hello sleepy head," Natasha picked up her phone with a smile.
"I'm going to be a little late," Maria said and Natasha just hummed, a knowing smile on her lips.
"Well I guess we'll let you and Rogers off," Natasha said. "Oh come on," she continued, "you don't show up to work and then Steve doesn't either, it's not by chance. Have a nice day off," Natasha then hung up the phone. Maria placed it back on the bedside table and looked at Steve. The sunlight hit him perfectly, makes his blonde hair look even more golden.
"I guess one day off isn't going to kill them," Maria said and Steve grabbed hold of her hips and sat up, the white sheets slipping down to his waist.
She turned to face him before he pulled her closer to him. He kissed her on the chest and then the neck. She bent down so he could kiss her on the lips before she climbed onto his lap. She pushed him back to lay down in the bed before she pulled her lips back just enough to mutter out,
"I love you too," before Steve smiled and pulled her back down, making sure they were as close as they could get to each other.
"Can I ask you a question?" Steve asked her as she rolled to cuddle up next to him.
"Last time you asked me a question it led to me marrying you," Maria joked and Steve chuckled at her words.
"What changed your mind?" He suddenly asked and Maria looked up at him, pulling away slightly. She took a deep breath, preparing herself for what she was about to say. She was never good with the whole touchy feely crap you see in the movies.
"My heart realised how painful it would be without you in my life and it meant I was seconds away from running after you, however I guess your heart had the same idea," Maria said to him and Steve's face broke out in a massive smile, his eyes lighting up.
"I'm glad you said yes," Steve said and Maria nodded.
"Me too. It won't be exactly like it used to be though," Maria said, not wanting Steve to put so much pressure on their relationship. She didn't want him to think it had to be like it used to be in the old days for it to be prefect. "I don't want you to be disappointed when you realise that not only times have changed but I have as well," Maria told him and Steve took in her words, thinking of a response.
"I won't be disappointed since no matter what, you're you and I love you for who you are. Plus, you can never disappoint me," Steve said.
"God why do you have to be so... Perfect," Maria moaned and Steve laughed pulling her closer to him and kissing her gently on the lips.
So this is it. It's been way more than a month since my last update so I decided to post the last two chapters. So yeah, the story has come to an end.
I don't know if I should do a sequel to this story, maybe after civil war has come. Please tell me what you guys think. Do you want a sequel?
Thank you so much for the reviews, it meant a lot to me. Thank you for reading :)
