Hard to Love (Bucky Barnes fanfic)

Chapter 51

A/N: I've attached pictures to help visualize parts of the villa, obviously they're not gonna match perfectly but just use your imagination. Okay enjoy!

The rest of the flight was uneventful. The three of us switching out piloting, the boys aren't a huge fan of autopilot because then they're left with nothing to do apparently, so between shifts we'd try to get some sleep. Emphasis on try. I would get maybe fifteen minutes here and there but my mind was restless

I chatted with Nat and Wanda for a while at one point, the conversations bouncing between the heaviness of the tasks and lighthearted teasing about Bucky and I going on a trip to Greece. To distract them, and myself, from the mission, I had them open their Christmas gifts finally since nobodies really had a chance to with everything going on. They both squealed with joy and laughter, profusely thanking me and saying they love the presents

After what felt like days but was only a few hours later, we finally land at Tony's property. The billionaire having his own little hangar on the many acres of land for his private jet. We all grab our bags and head off the aircraft. Bucky grazes his palm over mine as we walk onto the grass, hooking his pointer finger with mine as we made our way across the perfectly trimmed lawn

The house itself was stunning, sitting tall and pristine. The front exterior had two large white pillars, squaring off the corners of the home with large windows peering into the first floor and slightly smaller windows on the second. The front wall between the pillars was cobblestone with a balcony that jutted inwards on the second story. The wide rounded double doors thick with intricate carvings along the trim and in the shade of terracotta. I release Buckys finger as we near the door, Steve a few feet ahead of us already opening it, just in case Tony has security cameras

Which he did, doesn't surprise me honestly. With how big and expensive this place is, cameras are the least of what I expected. One of the control panels were right inside the door, like an alarm system in a house. Even came with that feature. Along with the heating and cooling system, cameras, special lighting, and a music option. Thankfully the cameras were only in main rooms and not any hallways or bedrooms. They were also placed around the hangar, the backyard, the front gate to the plot of land, and right outside the front door

Inside the main room was very open and mostly barren, besides a few black and white cushioned benches and metal side tables for a small commons room near the back door. The walls adorned a few exquisite paintings and a handful of spaced out circle cut mirrors. Everything was either white stone or marble, albeit the floors which was hand-tiled light grey flagstone with potted plants placed meticulously around the area. The light stained walnut floating stairs hugging the side wall goes up and slightly curving around the corner leads us to the second floor
