Day 2

Steve

I woke up the sun streaming though the crack of the curtains Natasha was still sleeping soundly. I don't know what happened last night but her saying that Clint asked her out upset me a lot. I forgot to breathe the thought of it made me angry and sick. Her wanting to talk about it gave me some warmth about whole situation. But when she got into my bed I was shocked, I did not know how to take it but it was fun it was like being at school and having a sleepover. I did not want her to leave I loved her being beside me I just did not want it to sound creepy.

I looked over at her slowly breathing when she suddenly said

'Stop starring Steve it's weird'

'I was not…how did you know?'

'I am a spy I have to be on guard at all times' she turned around to look at me

'It seemed like you slept well, just the same as always' I sighed

'I like morning Steve so full of character' she said

'Oh really' I said laughing grabbing her arms playfully she screamed as she fought me back both of us wrestling across the bed until there was a violent bang on the wall. We both stopped like two school children caught out.

'Shh' she smiled putting a finger to her lips then in a flash I released how close we both were. Silence echoed around the room looking away from her I said

'We…I…should get ready'

'Yep me to we have to be out of here by 12' she said siting up

I moved away as I grabbed my bag to get ready not looking back at her as entered the bathroom.

We got ready and left in silence, it was strange to not talking as we headed to a local dinner for breakfast. Sitting across from one another she looked at the menu glancing over it quickly then broke the silence.

'Steve, about this morning …I don't want to go on not talking' she said sternly putting down the menu as the waitress poured us our coffee

'Nat I get it, I miss not talking to you'

'Good, so we can just move on' she smiled

'Yes we can move on' I replied not understanding the extent of how I feel about the whole situation.

'Cool because you are driving first so, eat up' she smiled as our food arrived.

We began heading towards Tennessee although it was not an direct route I wanted to see what it was like. Natasha was sleeping peacefully next to me as the slow big band music played though the speakers. When I noticed a sign to Dollywood which I read somewhere was a theme park.

I remember Natasha saying that she had never been to a theme park before. I decided to take a little detour, it would be a nice surprise and I think we both need to let off some stream after this morning's awkwardness.

Natasha

I woke up to a noise of children, I looked around confused realizing I was in a car in a car park with Steve smiling at me.

'For a spy who is meant to be on guard you sure was in deep sleep' he smiled for some strange reason I wanted to slap him

'Shut up Steve…where are we?'

'We are at Dollywood'

'What… the theme park' I asked it was becoming more obvious now as a child with a balloon walked pass the car

'Yep'

'Why…would… you do know we have to get there for the wedding right' my brain fully processing the situation

'I know and we will I just remembered you saying that you have never been to one so I figured it would be fun to spend a few hours here'

I smiled and a heat came over me it was so sweet I was shocked that he even remembered that conversation.

We left the car and headed over to the ticket booth area although there was a long que it was all part of the excitement. When we eventually entered I was shocked the smells the children running pass the music. It was amazing I started to cry it was overwhelming everything that I missed out on as a child came flooding back among with excitement with creating new memories and being about to appreciate the day more. Steve wrapped a protective arm around my shoulders and whispered

'Cheer up I will buy you some candy floss'

I laughed as we headed deep into the theme park and towards the rides.

The day had been so much fun I mean it was a great experience. I loved it it was the nicest thing anyone has done more me truly. Some rides Steve grabbed my hand in fear he denies this but I know the truth. It was dark now and we were heading to a local Hotel. We are in Tennessee so I thought once we found somewhere to stay we should find a bar or something. I pulled into the Hotel car park which I noticed was extremely busy.

'There might me something going on' I said to Steve as we walked towards the Hotel lobby

'Yeah it looks like it'

The Hotel receptionist, was on the phone mimed one minute he looked under pressure. We looked at each other and smiled thinking this was a vast improvement from the last place we stayed.

'Hi, sorry about that a room for two' he said looking at his screen.

'Yes with two double beds' I jumped in even though I did technically slept in Steve's bed I do not want a repeat of it.

'Ah…I am sorry there is some conference this weekend all are double rooms are fully booked. I have a grand deluxe room with on king size bed if that's ok'

I looked at Steve who struggled and back at the man behind the desk this trip has not gone to plan at all. I smiled and agreed. Giving us the keys and check out time we headed towards the room.

'Stop smiling Steve it's not funny' I said as we walked into the elevator

'I am laughing at your face I mean you where considering leaving over it, did I snore that bad'

I ignored him as we exited the evaluator and headed towards are room.

'Come on really I was joking'

We stopped outside the room as I fiddled with the key

'Here' he took it from me and slid it into the door it opened straight way which annoyed me even more.

The room was big with a king bed in the center and a living area complete with sofa and television.

'I am going out tonight I wanted to go to a bar or something' I said walking over to the bed.

'Ok…can I come' he said with puppy dog eyes I laughed which he began to laugh too

'Am I forgiven' he asked

'Come on then it's hard to stay mad at you, with those eyes' I smiled as entered the bathroom to get ready.

Steve

We entered a local bar it was nice it was extremely packed due to it being not to far away from the hotel and was full of what looked like business men and women. I grabbed hold of Natasha hand as we made are way though the groups of people. Natasha was dressed in a black dress which showed of her figure she looked stunning but, I guess I am not the only one who thinks as I noticed some of guys looking at her as we walked passed.

'Do you want a drink' I asked as we found a spot to stand and listen to the music playing.

'Sure, a beer' she replied

I left to go to the bar although I cannot get drunk I do like the taste of it. As I was waiting for the bar tender to acknowledge me I looked back over at Natasha, she was talking to a guy in in a gray suit. My head started to spin, watching her laughing and smiling with this guy made me feel uneasy.

'Hi, what would you like to order' the bartender asked I turned back to her.

'Umm…two beers please' I replied looking back over at Natasha who was in deep conversation with this guy. I paid not really hearing how much it cost grabbed the drinks and walked back over to them.

'Here you go' I handed her the beer while eyeing up this mysterious man

'Hello you must be…' I asked reaching out to shake his hand

'Sorry did not know you two were together' he replied

'Well we are so bye' I replied

'Hey… she never said that' he looked over Natasha like he knew her

'Well what goes on between us is none of your business' I said trying to keep my temper

'Steve stop' Natasha interjected as my blood started to boil I pushed the guy back as he tried to grab Natasha's arm

'Come on Nat we are leaving' I grabbed her arm

'Steve let go of me'

'Fine' I slammed my beer down and walked off angry at the situation and my behavior. I headed back to the hotel to think, I need to clear my head of the whole situation

Natasha

Steve's behavior shocked me I understand that things have been weird but he was with Sharon whatever that was and honestly Harrison was nice a doctor from Virginia. But after the way Steve behaved I felt like a talk was needed.

'I am really sorry my friend is drunk' I lied

'No problem I understand' he smiled he said rubbing my hand. Slowly removed it without it looking like I was pulling away but, Steve's behaviour kept playing on my mind.

'Listen, I have to go but take my number maybe we can talk again in a better environment'

I gave him my number headed back to the hotel it was going to be a long night.

I opened the door to see Steve looking out of the window I have no idea how long he has been standing there but, he did not turn around to face me

'Do you know how embarrassing that was' I shouted throwing my clutch bag on the table

'What you want be to stand there and watch to flirt with him'

He turned around still not coming any closer

'You had no right we are not together'

'Yeah, but you can fake a relationship with me when it was a waitress who took a little interest in me'

'Oh please that is not the same'

'Really because even though I do not know much about relationships I know that's not normal'

'Well, you're with Sharon I was trying to help'

'Really, well you where not thinking about her when you slept in my bed'

I walked towards him and slapped him hard he looked back at me shocked but with regret in his eyes

'Screw you Steve you asked me to stay and we did nothing' I shouted my blood still fuming how dare he.

'Well I wanted too' he shouted back

We both stood there in silence both trying to catch are breath.

'What do you want from me Steve?' I said exhausted as he moved closer

'You're with Sharon and I…we' I stopped as are forehead touched

'I want you Nat, it has always been you, your smile, your laugh, your touch, your brain'

I laughed weakly my heart racing as he tiled my chin up to look directly in his eyes as he kissed me. It was soft and for the fist time in a long time I felt like a teenager again experiencing a fist kiss. My arms snaked around his neck are mouths moved slowly at first then all the pent up tension not just from yesterday but over the years just came flooding out. We became more frantic as we begin to tear each other's clothes off Steve lips never left mine as we tumbled on to the bed.
