Secretly In Love

Chapter 5

Bucky stared at her.

"What?" Nat asks him.

"Oh um nothing." He says.

"What should I do?" Nat asks. "I'm pretty sure she doesn't like me back."

"I wouldn't say that." Bucky says under his breath.

"What did you say?" She asks.

"Oh nothing." Bucky replies.

"Bucky I don't know what to do. Sometimes it seems like she likes me back. Sometimes it seems like she hates my guts." Nat whines.

"Just tell her that you like her."

"Yeah I'm not going to do that."

"Why not?"

"What if she doesn't like me back?"

"Then you get rejected."

"And then it will be awkward."

"I give up." Bucky says.

He throws his hands up in the air: "Then just keep it a secret until your ready to tell her. You haven't come out yet either."

Nat sighs: "Yeah I guess your right. I'll wait until I'm ready. Thanks Bucky."

"Your welcome Nat."

He walks out the door. Nat leans back and falls onto the bed. She lets out a long sigh. She eventually gets up and walks to my room. When she gets there I'm still in the shower. She sits on my bed and waits for me to get out.

A couple minutes later I turn the shower off. I step out and dry myself. I put on a pair of grey sweats and a black shirt on. I am out of the bathroom drying my hair and see Nat sitting on my bed.

"Oh hey Nat." I say.

"Hey Y/n." She reply's looking down at her legs.

"What's the matter?" I ask her.

"Can I tell you something important ?" She asks me. "Just between you and me?"

"Of course." I say.

I sit on the bed next to her with my hair messy from rubbing it with the towel. I see her smile a little. She opens her mouth to says something and then stops.

"What's wrong?" I ask.

"I- I'm sorry Y/n." She says. "I can't."

She stands up and rushes out of my room. I throw my towel onto the bed. Why can't she tell me? She said it was important and now she won't tell me. Why? My thoughts are interrupted by a knock at the door.

"Come in." I yell angrily.

Bucky opens the door slowly: "Hey Y/n."

"Hi Bucky." I say picking up my towel and hanging it up.

"I saw Nat running out of your room. Is everything ok doll?" He asks.

"She said that she had something important to tell me and then said that she can't." I say.

Bucky looks down at his feet: "What?" I ask.

"Nothing sorry um I'm sure she'll tell you when she's ready to."

"Yeah yeah whatever." I say. "I'm over her. She's walks with Steve and she can't even trust me with something important. I mean come now."

"No no no don't do that!" Bucky yells.

"Why not?" I ask. I'm now super angry. "You can't tell me how to feel! You can't tell me who to like and who not to like! You know what? Just get out!" I'm now yelling. I thrust my finger towards the door telling him to leave.
