Sorry For Your Loss | ScarletWidow

17.) House Hunting

After the four-hour flight, Natasha and Wanda had to hurry into town to meet with Clint and the realtor. At first, Wanda was apprehensive about riding Natasha's motorcycle into town, but since it was the only vehicle they had, she reluctantly got onto the back.

On the short ride to town, Wanda had her arms tightly wrapped around Natasha's waist and her helmet-clad head rested against the woman's back. Natasha couldn't help but smile the whole ride there.

When they arrived at the first house, Natasha parked her bike in the driveway and pulled her helmet off. She couldn't help but chuckle when she felt Wanda's arms still wrapped around her waist. "You're safe now."

Wanda let out a small sigh in relief as she pulled away. "Sorry..." she murmured as she got off the motorcycle and pulled the helmet off her head. 

Natasha's lips curled into a small smile as she still sat on the bike. "Don't be. I know it takes some getting used to."

"It was just so fast," Wanda said as she set her helmet on the handle.

"It was the same speed as when I drive."

"Really?" Wanda's eyes widened.

"Yes," the older woman chuckled as she got off the bike when she saw Clint step out of his truck.

"I thought you weren't going to be here on time," Clint said as he approached them.

"We were a little late taking off this morning, sorry," Natasha said as she grabbed Wanda's hand.

"It's okay, just come on." He said before leading them up to the house.

It was small but nice. It was a one-story house, two bedrooms, two baths, and a decently sized backyard.

As the couple stepped inside, they instantly saw how nice the house was. To the left was an open kitchen, with a small dining room table in the corner. To the right was a fully furnished living room.

Natasha looked over at Wanda, seeing the wide smile on her face. "Like it?" she asked.

"I love it... maybe not the colors, but I like the setup," Wanda said as she looked at Natasha, seeing the same bright smile on her face.

An older woman walked down the hallway. "Hello, I'm Katy. This is the smaller of the houses, and the furniture is just for house showings to let people get an idea what it could be like." She explained.

"Hi, I'm Wanda," Wanda said with a small smile.

"Hello, I'm Natasha and this is my..." Natasha stopped when she realized that she and Wanda had never talked about a label for their relationship yet.

"Girlfriend," Wanda said for her.

Katy smiled softly as she nodded. "Nice to meet you both. Clint said you're looking for something simple, so I have a few places in mind. As I said this is the smaller house of the three, I plan on showing you today." She said before turning to walk into the kitchen. "We have a fully loaded kitchen with a gas stove, dishwasher, and refrigerator. Everything is brand new."

Natasha pulled Wanda with her into the kitchen to look around. "We like it a lot. We don't need anything huge."

Katy nodded softly. "Good to know." She said before leading them into the living room. "Here we've got the room where the internet line is, so if you plan on having a decent internet connection, I recommend putting your computers in here. The last owner complained that the rest of the house had a spotty connection."

Natasha and Wanda nodded softly.

"Alright follow me," Katy said before leading them back down the main hallway. "Here is the first bathroom. It's the smaller of the two but does have a bath." She said before taking them to the next door on the right. "Here is the first bedroom. Right now, we have it set up as an office. It has a small walk-in closet."
