Avengers Show me love

Ch. 24 "Strange"

                                                      Harper POV 

I was sitting at my desk in the lab, it was late, 

Turns out that the emergency was HYDRA, they were planning an attack, Steve, Tony Bucky, Sam  everyone except me and Bruce, they are out fighting HYDRA in upstate New York, 

I am sitting at my desk in a daze, it has been three days, since well you know, and some of the bruising still lingered 

Not bad bruising, just amazing and mind boggling, 

Never had I thought sex could be as wonderful as it was with Steve, 

I caught myself smiling, 

And the love bites he left behind, made me smile more, who knew being with someone like this could make someone so happy, 

I mean all my life, I've been so used to closing everyone off, just because of how my family treated me, 

And yet Steve opened my eyes to a different world, 

I hear someone clear their throat, 

I look up peeking over my reading glasses, and see Bruce, staring at me and smiling, 

"What?" I asked 

"Your smiling," He said smirking, 

"So?" I said 

"Since we've met you hardly smile, but that smile is a genuine one, has this got anything to do with where you disappeared to a few nights ago?" He asked 

"Perhaps," I said smirking 

He chuckled 

Then my phone started ringing, and it showed my mother's name, 

Well there goes my good day, I thought 

"I have to take this," I said 

He nodded 

I walked out of the lab, my heels clicking on the floor, 

"Hello," I said in a dull tone, 

"Hello Honey how are you feeling?" She asked, 

So let me sum something up, so after I got sick, and Steve said he talked to my mother she's been acting strange, 

Strange as in nice to me it is rather odd, 

"I'm okay How are you and Dad?" I asked 

"Good, Good were doing fine, so we are having a party this weekend its like a family reunion I was wondering if you would like to come?" She said in a light soft tone, 

"I uh don't know," I said 

"Just think about it,," She said 

I hesitated 

"We just want to start over with you Honey just think about it please," She said 

"Alright, I'll think about it," I said 

"Thank you," She said softly 

"Yeah, look mom I've got to get back to work," I said 

"Of course, Of course, call me later Honey," She said 

"I will," I said 

"Love you," She said 

I froze, my parents never told me they loved me, so when ever I hear that word I just freeze, I don't know what to say, 

"Yeah," I said and I hung up, 

What the hell is going on, I thought 

I walked back into the Lab, 

"Hey I'm going to get a coffee, you want anything?" I asked 

"No I'm fine, but take your time, no hurry," He said 

"Thank you," I said 

He nodded, 

I walked down the hallway to the kitchen I open the cabinets, seeing the cups out of reach, 

even in heels they were out of reach, I stretch now on my tippy toes, when an arm reaches over me grabbing a mug for me, I spin around and see Steve, 

He chuckled 

"Here," He said 

"Oh thank you," I said shyly smiling at him, 

"When did you get back?" I asked as I poured some coffee in a mug, 

"A few minutes ago," He said 

"What I would like to know is what you are still doing up and drinking coffee," He said chuckling 

I shrugged, 

"Me and Bruce have been working on something that's all," I said smiling at him as I turn around, 

I see the cuts and blood on his face, which made me worried, 

"It's not as bad as it looks," He said chuckling 

He gently takes the mug out of my hands his nose inches from mine, 

"Maybe I can help with your sleep huh?" He said smiling at me, 

I felt myself become red, 

Next thing I know is that our lips lock, roughly I could feel him smiling against my lips, 

"Three days was too long," He mumbled against my lips, 

My fingers raked through his hair, as his lips attacked my neck, 

He grabbed the back of my thighs and picked me up, 

And stode out of the kitchen with me in his arms, 

I know it only has been a short time, but I did miss him, I thought as he laid me on the bed with one arm under my back while the other hand slowly went under my shirt,
