Secretly In Love

Chapter 2

I woke up the next morning. I rolled over on my bed and felt a towel. I yawned at sat up. The shower was on.

I got up to make the bed when I heard the shower turn off. The bathroom door opens and Nat walks out.

"Shit!" She yells.

She had left her towel on the bed. She didn't expect me to be awake so soon.

"Oh my God um." I say, my face going red.

I bring her towel over and hand it to her through the crack in the door.

"I'm so sorry Nat." I say.

"Yeah um, it's fine." She says while closing the door.

I could feel my cheeks go red. I take a deep breath and go back to making the bed. A few minutes later Nat walks out of the bathroom, this time fully dressed.

I walk up to her: "Again, Nat, I'm so sorry."

"Really Y/n it's fine." She says. "I should have brought my towel in with me."

I grab a blue sports bra and tight black Nike shorts and go into the bathroom to change. Today was training day. I finish changing and I brush my teeth and fix my hair. When I come out, Nat is waiting for me by the door.

We walk downstairs together and go into the kitchen. She makes three protein shakes and goes to wake up my brother. I lean up against the kitchen counter. Why had I felt the way that I did when I saw Nat naked? My thoughts were interrupted by running footsteps.

"She threatened to tase me if I didn't get up!" My brother pants.

I laugh and throw him his protein shake. I grab mine and Nat grabs hers. We walk outside and get into my car.

"I'm driving this time." I tell Nat.

"Ok I'm fine with that." She says back.

Peter climbs into the backseat and Nat sits right next to me. We drive in silence.

A couple minutes later we arrive at the compound. Nat gets out first, then Peter.

"You coming?" Nat asks.

"Yeah, yeah, I'll be there in a minute." I say.

"Alright." She says, smiling at me.

I watch them go inside and I lean back in the seat. Again i question myself, why had I felt that way?

I heard a loud crashing noise from behind me and jumped. I turned around: "Who's there?"

"Nobody, fuck off!"

"Good morning to you too Bucky." I say.

He emerges from behind a load of clutter.

"Morning doll."

He kisses me on the cheek.

"How are you today?" He asks.

"Pretty good" I tell him.

"I heard Nat slept over last night. You were pretty drunk." Bucky says.

"Yeah I guess I was."

"Did you ever figure out who her crush is?"

"That I did not." I say.

"Is it you?" He asks.

"Me? Pft no." I say.

"Mmmk." Bucky says.

"What?" I ask him.

"I saw the way she looked at you yesterday. I'm thinking it might be you."
