She chose me •Steve Rodgers x reader•

Chapter 9

Steve hadn't heard from her all weekend.

He was expecting a call asking him if he wanted to go for their usual walk around the park, or even just to talk would've been nice. He had considered calling her but he was nervous, she might be busy or not have the time. Plus he didn't want to come off as an annoyance.

After the mission, Sharon had invited him to a bar near the Avengers tower, but Steve didn't feel like staying long, he was tired and really didn't appreciate it when she tried to invite herself back to his place 'as friends'. He could tell she was hurt by it but he had to make it clear that whatever happened between them was in the past.

"Right ok, come on Steve" he encouraged his self, as he pressed the 'call' button and pressed the phone to his ear.

"Hello?"

"Hi! (Y/n), how you doing?" He asked, a bit too enthusiastically once he heard her voice.

"Steve, hi um" her voice filled his ears sweetly as usual. "What can I do for you?"

"Uh, I was just thinking we could meet up, maybe do something fun?" He spoke slowly, almost cautious of the words he chose.

"Sure, when?" She replied.

"Like, now?"

Bright neon light lit up every inch of the place, and fun pop music blasted into Steve's ears that contained melodies he wasn't completely used to yet. (Y/n) couldn't hold in her excitement, she remembered the last time she went to a bowling alley was with her father and school friends on her 10th birthday, it was one of the many happy memories she had of him.

They collected their bowling shoes and got to their alley when Steve stopped her "ok, I have to be honest, I've never actually done this before..."

She giggled at him "then why suggest coming to a bowling alley?" She asked in disbelief.

"I thought you could teach me" he told her, smirking at her slightly. (Y/n) rolled her eyes and passed him one of the heavy bowling balls "I am expecting payment after this."

At first, Steve just watched what people were doing in the other lanes, throwing their arms way back and releasing the ball, letting it glide towards the pins. He was about shoot his first bowl before she stopped him.

"Whoa,whoa wait a second Captain, you're going to need something else first" she turned around for a second and then presented in front of him a metal ramp.

"You've got to be kidding me" he uttered. Steve saw a few children using these ramps before they started, she wasn't seriously suggesting he use one?

"I'm sorry Cap, but you've got to start basic just like everyone else, bowling is a very dangerous sport you know" she lectured him showing her perfectly sassy smile.

He unwillingly complied and (Y/n) levelled up the ramp and placed the bowling ball into it "hold on to it til I say go and then push it off the ramp, and make sure you aim right down the middle ok?" She explained to him.

"3...2...1...go!"

Steve pushed the ball off the ramp with a little too much force than necessary, resulting in the ball zooming down the alley but only hitting 4 pins.

She shrugged and gave him a small round of applause "not bad for a first timer"

He felt bold in that moment, leaning down to her ear and whispering "think you can do any better?"

The hot feeling of his mouth being so close to her skin almost made (Y/n) forget where she was, she looked up at Steve and his sexy mischievous smirk and squinted her eyes at him
