Someone said the previous chapter was small. All of the next chapters are small, except for the 6th and 7th that are a bit longer. Hope you guys continue to enjoy the story and that you leave reviews. :D


Chapter 3: Feeling Good

Song by Muse, from Origin of Symmetry, 2001


Thursday

Clint was telling her all about this CIA Agent that liaised with SHIELD for a case during her mission abroad. Apparently he had been very intrigued by Fury's eye patch and the Director had decided to scare the shit out of him. Clint was far from boring, but Natasha had to admit she had not been listening to him talk. Her head was propped on her hand and her elbow rested on the back of the couch as she watched him tell her the story with so much enthusiasm that it was impossible for her not to smile. Clint resembled a young child, excited, eyes sparkling with the thrill and his gestures were effusive and large as he explained. And gosh, that smile he had plastered on his face the whole time made her smile along with him. Not to mention his hearty and amused laugh. How could she not smile at someone as silly as him?

"You're not even listening to me, are you?" Just with those words, Clint pulled her out of her trance.

"No," Natasha immediately lied. "I was."

"Really?" A smirk formed on his lips and he pressed on. "'Cause if you were, I'm sure you'd have something to say about it!"

She gave in. "I couldn't help it, Clint. You were so excited talking about it, I was carried away."

"Oh, is that so?" Again he smirked, this time it was the seductive smirk.

Coming closer, he pecked her lips. Needless to say, they soon moved from the couch to bed.
