~one month later~
I wake up in bed next to James and he's asleep. I'm going to propose to James we actually do the things couples do to sell our cover especially since Clint and I had met up a couple weeks ago. We decided it's best for me to stay undercover for as long as possible and to try to get to James' humanity to show.
I get showered and go through my morning routine. I'm wearing a pair of red lace panties and a matching bra as I walk out to the kitchen. I start the coffee maker and go into the fridge grabbing eggs, milk, butter and a tube of sausage. I get down the bread and slip four pieces in the toaster. I get eggs cracked in a measuring cup and a pan on the stove. I put a drop of milk into the eggs before putting the milk back in the fridge. I put salt and pepper in and mix the eggs.
Before I pour the eggs, I head into the bedroom and see James on his side. I stand there for a second and take his sleeping form in. He's got his left hand where I'm usually at splayed out. I go to my side and carefully lay back down. His hand quickly pulls me close to him and my hands land on his chest.
He says,"You weren't here when I woke."
I reply,"I didn't realize you wanted me to be here when you woke."
He says,"I want to know you're safe."
I look in his eyes and reply,"I'm with you. I'm always safe when I'm with you."
He places a hand on my cheek and we stare into each other's eyes. Our breathing syncs and I don't move. I slowly trail my right hand to his neck and he leans towards me. The smell of a hot pan hits my sense and I break out of the trance.
I say,"Oh the pan."
I hop out of bed and run to the kitchen. I turn the pan to low and pour the eggs in and quickly move them around since the pan is hot.
James comes out and stands in the doorway of the kitchen. He watches me as I bring breakfast together and I feel my cheeks beaten.
I ask,"What are you staring at? Haven't you ever seen a woman cook breakfast before?"
He replies,"mmmmh not in so little clothing."
I bite my bottom lip as I remember I'm only in a bra and panty set. He comes up behind me after I plate the eggs, sausage, and toast. He turns me around and pins me against the island with his body.
There's something in his eyes I can't quite place. It's like there's a battle raging inside him. My hands are on his chest and I look up at him. I want to take him away from Hydra. I want to take him away from all of it. He doesn't deserve this life. Maybe if he gets a taste of the life he's never had...maybe he'll walk away from the one he's had.
I ask,"D-Do you want to go out for dinner tonight?"
He seems shocked by my question and I instantly look away embarrassed.
I say,"We don't have to. N-Nevermind."
He turns my head back towards him and says,"Ok."
I blink trying to process his response and he says,"We will go out for dinner tonight."
I smile and say,"I know the perfect little spot."
He asks,"Oh yeah?"
I reply,"Do you like Italian food?"
He shrugs and we sit and eat our breakfast and drink our coffee as we talk. We've been in each other's lives for almost a year and a half and we didn't know a lot about each other. Well James didn't know a lot about me. He heads out to do recon and I decide to head to the mall. I'm going to get a dress for tonight.
