Sambucky - Figuring out feelings: Book 1, 2 And 3

Book 3: Chapter 7: Date

Bucky pulled down his dress lower. It was red, short and extremely uncomfortable. He didn't want to wear it.

But he needed to 'seduce' Alex.

Gross.

It was 10:45 and he was just about to leave Sam for the date. He knew he should but he just couldn't tell him about it.

He was considering actually drugging Sam.

But that was wrong. He needed to give him a chance to look around.

'Sam. Alex and I are going to go set up the party... Arrangements. While we are gone you can look around'

Sam raised his head, looking confused.

'What? Why can't I come?'

Bucky froze.

'Uh... Because he didn't say you could-'
'Are you lying?'

Bucky snapped his head up expecting to see Sam angry. Instead he was laughing.

'I'm only joking. I'll look around. Have... Fun'

He stood up, pushing Bucky out the door but frowned at his outfit.

'Why are you so dressed up?'

Bucky stopped.

What do I say now?

'Because... I like this dress
'Oh. Well it looks nice on you'

Sam winked and waved him out. He was ready now.

Ready to trick Alex.

He made his way done the long staircase, down to the hallway where Alex would be waiting. He took his time, mentally preparing for what would probably be a traumatic memory for the rest of his life.

Even worse then when I fell off that train. (This is a joke 😂 I'm sorry)

But before he knew it he was in the lobby, facing Alex. He was wearing a suit and holding his hand out to Bucky.

Oh no. What a cheater. Disgusting.

Bucky felt awful as he flashed Alex a smile and took his hand, following him outside to the car.

Outside. He hadn't been outside the building in weeks.

He wouldn't admit it but he missed Zemo.

'You look beautiful, Bella'

Bucky silently cursed but took the compliment by putting his head down and smiling. He was good at this game.

He gazed outside his window as they passed streetlights and shops. All appeared normal.

But behind the scenes not so much.

Soon they arrived to a fancy restaurant. It even had a red carpet entering the building. Alex took Bucky's hand and led him into the room to a table with 2 seats.

Just talking to Alex was almost impossible for him but having to flirt and chat with him for a few hours...

Bucky shuddered at the thought. It was about to happen.

They both sat and a waiter came and poured them wine.

'Now I hope you don't mind but there is no menu. This restaurant only serves one dish'

Bucky put on what he hoped was a charming smile and reached for Alex's hand.

Ew ew ew.
