Hi guys, as Radwoman pointed out, I've updated a lot tonight, but honestly, I like getting them out as I write them, that way you guys get to read them faster, and I don't forget about updating. I hope the fact that I write them so quickly doesn't impede the story or make it any less then what you all expect from me. I do hope ya'll are still liking the story, there's no Dr. Banner in this one, but there is some Captain America! Yaay!
Disclaimer: I only own the traveling duo of Dallas and Minnie.
Touching down in Memphis I found myself staring out the window. My hair was up in a ponytail, I subconsciously ran my fingers along my new highlights.
Put some of them here," Dallas was saying to my hair stylist as he ran his hand up my neck, and along the area behind my ear. "It'll surprise that boyfriend of yours, and he'll love it."
"He's not my boyfriend, he's just this guy that I kiss occasionally." I said as I blushed.
"Girl please, like I didn't see that book you bought on physics. You're so into the man. But, hey it's cool, he's into you too. Maybe if he wasn't so damn slow about it you could tell me what he's really like though."
"I hate you so much right now." I sighed.
"Bitch, stop messing with your hair." Dallas shoved my hand away from my hair making me glare at him. I laughed as I grabbed my carryon bag, and we waited for people to get out of the plane.
I hate waiting for people to get off of a plane, it's always so awkward and you never know when it's your turn. Like when you were a kid on the school bus. When we did get out of the plane and walk into the terminal I smiled seeing Steve Rogers standing there waiting. "Tell me he's straight, just do it."
"Straight as they come." I said and Dallas nodded.
"Right, thanks, I needed that." he said and I laughed before I walked over to the tall man.
"Captain Rogers, how are you?" I asked as I gave him a hug.
"It's good to see you again ma'am." he said and looked at Dallas curiously. "Is this your husband?"
"Oh, no, I'm her stylist." Dallas grinned. "Besides, she's seeing that adorable Bruce, and-"
"You're babbling." I looked at Dallas who smiled innocently and shut up.
"Bruce?" Steve asked with a frown. "Bruce Banner?"
"It's nothing," I sighed. "I mean, I don't know what it is. I enjoy his company." I nodded. "But speaking of enjoying things, how do you like Tennessee?" I asked as we walked together, Dallas was furiously texting someone behind us, but trailing along.
"Oh it's pretty amazing." he smiled. "I really enjoyed that music you showed me, it's amazing to hear how far music has progressed, though, I have to admit, I don't care too much for this newer stuff."
"I completely understand, I generally feel the same way, but there are some artists I do like." I said as we walked. "I don't think Dallas and I can leave the airport, so can we just get lunch somewhere here? I know it's not exactly the nicest place, but we did touch down a little late, and time is of the essence." I sighed.
"Of course." he said. We ended up at a burger place, somewhere pretty generic, but I had to admit, for airport food, it was pretty good. Plus Steve was pretty much the All American, burger and fries kind of guy.
"So, tell me what you've been up to." I said and he smiled, telling us all about different people and places he had been to. Being Captain America SHIELD had this pass made up for him allowing him to get into any and every museum for life, and seeing as how the guy survived in a huge bank of ice for seventy years, there was no telling when that card would expire. He seemed to like them, some of them took him back to his time, some of them took him before his time and some of them gave him a small glimpse of what he missed out on.
I gave him a few more CD's I had burnt for him, I found the CD player with him was a good way to go, I had given him an old running man CD player of mine, and taught him how to use that. It was simple, and I didn't have to worry about teaching him about the iPod quite yet. He walked us to our terminal and shook Dallas' hand, saying it was nice to meet him before Dallas gave him a large hug. Steve gave him a semi awkward smile and looked at me curiously as Dallas pranced off.
"He seems kinda... khaki wacky..." he said and I nodded slowly. "Uh..." a blush rose on his cheeks. "Boy crazy."
"Yeah." I nodded and he cleared his throat, rubbing the back of his neck. "Don't worry, you're not his type." I smiled and he nodded slowly.
"I guess I still have a lot to learn." he smiled and I nodded.
"Yeah, but you've got time." I said. "Next time you're in New York, let me know."
"I will ma'am." he said and I chuckled.
"You can call me Minnie." I said, and gave him a hug. "I'll write you."
"I know you will, Minnie." he said and I patted his arm before I walked over to Dallas as he handed our tickets to the woman letting us board the plane. I turned and waved to Steve. "Have a safe flight." he called and I gave him a thumbs up before we went down the hallway to the plane.
"Jesus, that boy is all kinds of backwards."
"He is not, he's just... Lost." I sighed as we found our seats. "I want the window."
"You know I was going to make you take it anyways." he said and I smiled. That was Dallas' one fear. Heights. We got settled in our seats, a girl of about sixteen sat next to Dallas, which he loved, they spend the entire flight talking about fashion and what shade of lipstick would look good on her, by the time we got off the plane she had an entire list of very specific cosmetics to look up.
"You ready?" I asked and he smiled as he linked his arm through mine.
"Honey, I am always ready." he said and I laughed. We rented a car at the airport, and drove to the hotel everyone was staying at, the Omni Royal Orleans Hotel. When we got there the valet got our baggage from the car and put it on one of those trolleys and the bell hop led us inside.
"Yeah, we're checking in for the Strong/Cooper wedding." I said to the woman behind the desk
"Name please?" the attractive young girl asked.
"Simone Strong."
"Okay, I see you have a suite with one queen sized bed-"
"I'm sorry, it's supposed to be two beds."
"I have it down here as one." she shook her head.
"Oh come on lover, like we haven't shared a bed before." Dallas kissed my cheek and I rolled my eyes with a smile.
"If you do that thing where you put your leg around my waist, I'll banish you to the couch." I grumbled and he laughed. We got our key cards, I filled out the paperwork that I needed to and we went upstairs to our room.
As we unpacked I hung the dress in the closet and stuck the shoe box on the shelf. Dallas had helped me find these amazing blue silver heels that only had two inches of heel, a sparkled band over my toes and this blue silver ribbon that went around my foot on either side, wrapped around my ankle and had a pretty blue silver buckle. I put them on the shelf and hung his suit up and everything before I called Tabby to tell her we were there.
We agreed to go to dinner with everyone later, which gave us time to relax and clean up a bit.
First things first, I was ready for a nap, pronto.
