evermore - Steve Rogers x Reader Part 1: cowboy like me

Warnings: None

I've had some tricks up my sleeve
Takes one to know one
You're a cowboy like me

You sighed rubbing your forehead tiredly as you sat down at your desk after a painfully long meeting. You barely had a moment to yourself before there was a knock at your door. Your assistant Olivia poking her head into your office a second later.

You wave her in sitting up in you chair "what's up?" you ask her desperately hoping it was something quick so you could have a quiet few minutes to yourself before having to put the business face back on.

"You have a meeting with Stark Industries in 10 minutes and your dress for the Gala tonight has arrived" Olivia tells you looking down at her folder.

"Have they arrived yet?" you ask checking your watch.

She shakes her head "good tell me when they do, but in the mean time block anything else for the next 10 minutes I need time to recharge for a moment" you tell her making her chuckle slightly nodding in agreement before stepping back out of your office shutting the door behind her.

You lean back in your chair closing your eyes for a moment of peace as all your muscles relaxed, being a woman in business was hard. It wasn't just putting up with the blatant sexism on the ladder up to the top, but the persona you had to become to keep yourself there and get the deals you wanted.

You felt more like a con man than a business woman, a cowboy in the world of businessmen.

You were pulled from your thoughts by the phone buzzing on your desk, peeping open one eye you see a text from your husband. You groan internally picking it up to see what he wanted, actually groaning slightly when it was just him asking when you would be home reminding you about the Gala tonight. You put your phone back down not bothering to answer, for all he knew you were in a meeting. Don't get confused, you loved your husband. The two of you have been together for years, first getting together when you were 18 first year of College, Married by the time you were 21. So by the time you were 30 it felt like you were an old married couple.

Before you knew it the 10 minutes had passed and you had to head to your next meeting, as you went you paused by Olivia.

"can you do me a favour and find out what the 9 year anniversary present is?" you ask.

She nods her head "would you like me to sort the present for you?" she asks but you shake you head.

"no its alright, I'd rather find it myself, are they in the conference room?" you ask nodding over to the door.

Olivia nods, you quickly gather yourself pulling your shoulders back and pulling your shirt down to straighten it and readjust before opening the door with a winning smile.

"Hello Mr Stark, pleasure to meet you" you say walking into the meeting, hand outstretched.

***

You walk into your apartment putting you bag down as you enter.

"Hey honey I'm home" you call out as you continue to walk in looking around for your husband.

"Bedroom" you hear him call out, when you walk in you see him stood in front of the mirror adding cufflinks to his suit.

"Where have you been, we have to leave soon" he demands sighing deeply as he looks at you through the mirror.

"Sorry my meeting overran, came home as soon as I could but I have plenty of time don't worry" you say placing your dress down on the bed and walking over to him to kiss him quickly on the cheek.
