A/N: Hey guys. Here's the next chapter!

Gamora awoke the next morning with a killer headache. It felt as though someone had bashed her head into a wall. She groaned and rolled over, coming face to face with Peter.

"Good morning, sleeping beauty." Peter greeted, smirking at her.

"What happened?" She asked, having almost no recollection of the night before. All she really remembered was kissing Peter and then...nothing.

"You got smashed last night."

"Smashed? I do not recall getting into any quarrels last night."

Peter sighed, "No, I mean you got drunk. You drank two whole bottles of vodka before I had to cut you off. You could barely walk." He explained, brushing a strand of dark hair out of her face.

Well, at least her stomach didn't hurt anymore.

She groaned and rolled back over, tightly shutting her eyes to will the headache to go away. Peter chuckled and kissed her on the temple before he left the room, returning moments later with the first aid kit. He opened the kit and took out two pills and a small bottle of water. Gamora took the bottle of water but looked at the pills warily.

"Don't worry. They're not sleeping pills this time."

She cautiously took the pills and swallowed them with the water. Peter took back the bottle of water and took an ice pack out in it's place and handed it to her, placing it on her forehead before he helped her up and they walked to the meeting area.

"Good morning, Gamora. How is your stomach?" Drax asked, looking at Gamora as she sat down.

"Better. Now I have a splitting headache." She said, leaning back in her seat, not daring to take the ice pack off her forehead.

"I am Groot."

"She didn't hit her head you moron! She's hungover!" Rocket snapped.

"Perhaps some tea would help, Gamora." Drax said, getting up and leaving, only to return with the tea in question.

"Thank you, Drax." She said, taking the mug with her free hand and sipping the hot liquid.

Peter reached behind him into the drawer and took out a piece of paper and a pen, scribbling something on the paper. With no one looking, he passed it to Gamora, who took the note and temporarily put the ice pack and the tea down and read the note under the table.

So how about that date tonight?

Gamora looked up to meet Peter's gaze and gave him a soft smile, nodding her head in response.

"What the hell are you two smiling at like a couple of jackasses?"

"Nothing." Gamora said, taking another sip of her tea as everyone shrugged and went about their business.


By the time it was time for the date, Gamora's headache was gone thanks to the pills that Peter gave her. For this date, her hair was pulled back into a braid with two smaller braids dangling parallel to each side of her face, similar to the hairstyle she had when they were in the Kyln. She wore a black, long sleeved v-neck shirt that hugged her torso perfectly along with her signature black pants and boots. Peter was in his usual get up, minus the jacket and it actually looked like he had brushed his hair.

"What did you tell them?" She asked, taking his hand as they walked through the small town of Halfworld, going by several shops before they got to the restaurant.

"Oh, I sent them out for more supplies and a pretty complicated scavenger hunt. Should give us a few hours of alone time." He said as they were lead to their table.

Several of the patrons sent venomous glares in Gamora's direction, but none dared to make a move. At least, not while she was with someone. They sat down at a table by the window on the second floor where they had a overview of the place.

"How did you find out about this place?"

"A couple of locals recommended it." He said as a waitress came over to help them.

"Hello, my name is Irena. What can I get for the lovely couple to drink?" She asked, taking out some type of tablet.

"I'll just have some tea." She answered, briefly making eye contact with the waitress.

"And for you, sir?"

"I'll just have some water."

The waitress typed their orders into the tablet and left, telling them that she would return shortly.

"Not drinking tonight?"

Peter shook his head, "Nah. I don't drink too much anyway, believe it or not."

The waitress returned with their drinks and took their meal orders before she took their menus and left them alone once again.

"So, tell me something about yourself."

Gamora sighed, "Well, I can kill someone forty-five different ways with just my bare hands." She said, taking a sip of her tea.

"Tell me something I don't know."

"I once went three days without sleep."

Peter gawked at her, "How the hell did you manage that?"

"After my parents died and Thanos started torturing me, I would not sleep for some time for fear that if I closed my eyes I would not wake up."

"Tell me about your parents. Your real parents."

Gamora was about to say something when their dinner arrived. She mumbled a quick thank you and nodded to the waitress, willing for her to leave. Thankfully, she got the hint.

"Well, my father loved me and my sister. He was a nice man, self less. He loved to help others in their time of need. He always let me climb into bed with him and mother when I had nightmares. My mother was a great woman. I would help her prepare meals, and she'd even sing me to sleep. Mother is...was...a very beautiful woman."

"Just like you."

"Thank you, Peter." She said, smiling at him with a warm, genuine smile.

"You should smile more. You have a beautiful smile."


Throughout the rest of the night, they ate and talked, shared some laughs. They actually felt comfortable with each other.

"Wait...you are not joking?"

"I am dead serious. I once got so drunk that I took a shower in my clothes. I'm surprised I remembered to take my walkman out of my pocket.

Gamora had to choke back a laugh.

"Go ahead, make fun of me."

"If it will make you feel better, I once spent two days trapped in a wooden crate."

Now it was Peter's turn to laugh at her. He'd have to get that story from her another day.


They returned back to the Milano to find their friends had still not returned.

"Guess the scavenger hunt was more complicated than I thought it would be." He said, shrugging as he took out his 'awesome mix vol. 1' and put it in the small radio and Hooked on a feeling started playing, "Dance with me." He added, holding out a hand for her.

She took his hand and he pulled her close.

"I do not know how."

"Well, first, place your hands on my shoulders."

Gamora did as he said and Peter placed his hands on her waist.

"Then we kind of just move along to the beat." He said, and they both started swaying to the beat of the music.

Peter lifted one hand from her waist and took one of her hands from his shoulder, spinning her around gently and pulling her back in close.

Gamora leaned in and kissed Peter passionately on the lips. A kiss that grew very heated very fast and without realizing it, they had both made their way to his bedroom, falling onto the bed as Gamora attempted to remove Peter's shirt.

Oh no. He was not going to fuck this up by sleeping with her on the first date.

"Gamora.." He trailed off when she trailed an index finger down his jaw, stopping at his bottom lip as she kissed him again.

"Yes, Star-Lord?" She asked, flashing him a seductive smile as he sighed in defeat.

"Ah fuck it"

A/N: Let me know what y'all think. Please review :)

P.S. I have also realized that the title, "Gamora's accident" doesn't seem very fitting anymore. If anyone has any fitting titles, leave them in a review and I will put them in a hat and draw one out of it. Only fair way to choose xD
