Love Triangle

Chapter 11

Natasha really enjoyed the whole evening with Steve, Bucky, Pizza, and soft drinks. This meal with Steve and Bucky really took her back to when her and Steve were younger. They always knew each other. However, neither of the two were ready to take that first step into anything outside of the friendship that they had. More recently, Natasha has put a lot of thought into that friendship with Steve, but Natasha also had that one little sober kiss with Bucky to consider as well. Natasha was now at a loss for words, and even action. She needed one of them to make the next move before she stepped forward into a relationship with either of the two strong muscled soldiers. Believe it or not, there were still a few slices left over from last night. Luckily for Bucky, Steve, and Natasha there were three slices left. At least there were last night. She hoped neither of the guys ran for the leftover slices with out her. She did know they were both very honorable men, but when it came to pizza Natasha wasn't always sure her friends would be as honorable to share those last three slices. No one was more surprised than her that there actually were left over slices of pizza at all. They were always like machines with pizza. They must have all been watching their diets or something last nights. Natasha laughed softly. "What's so funny Natasha?" She looked up to meet Steve's eyes. "Oh nothing Steve, I was just surprised that we all have one slice of pizza left over from last night. "I know, usually we're animals with this kind of food. "What do you think happened last night?" Steve asked with a soft smile. Natasha pursed her lips for a moment. "Wow Steve, I was just wondering the same thing." Natasha laughed again. "Hmmm you seem to be in a very good mood Natasha." Steve smiled again, he also wondered what was on her mind right now. "I really am Steve, that surprise pizza party last night was great for all three of us." Natasha told him honestly. "It was pretty great," Steve said while lost in his own thoughts. "I still can't believe Bucky was like your little bitch last night to get his pizza." Natasha commented Steve laughed even louder. "What can I say? That man loves his pizza." Steve says with an even wider smile spreading across his face. Natasha shook her head. "He may love pizza more than he loves you Steve." Natasha says with a slight smirk. "I wouldn't say that Natasha, Bucky is a very loving and lovable guy." Steve told her with a slight shrug. "He definitely seems it, also very funny" Natasha says. Steve nods his head. "That's a given for Bucky. He definitely always speaks his mind." Steve told her. Natasha nodded again very aware of the speaking his mind part. All the sudden, Natasha felt Steve drape his hand lightly against her back. "Hey, I'll go get Bucky if you'd like the three of us to finish those last slices." Steve offers as he looked into Natasha's eyes. "Yeah, that'd be great I am kind of hungry." She confessed. Then saw Steve leave as she guiltily thought between the experiences she's had with both of them. Going back and forth between Steve and Bucky. "Hey," Natasha looked up again. This time her eyes locked with Bucky's. "Oh hey, did Steve ask you if you wanted to finish last night's leftovers. "Steve?" Bucky asked Natasha rather softly as he looked deeply into her eyes. For only a moment, Bucky thought about reenacting last night's epic kiss, but as his thoughts began to run free Steve entered the kitchen. "There you are." Steve said passing a glance at Bucky. As Steve and Bucky went to take a seat at the table Natasha tossed the sheet pan in with all three of their slices cooking. About ten minutes later the timer for the oven went off. "Natasha take a seat I've got this," Steve offered politely as his blue eyes locked on her green eyes. Steve pulled out the last three pizza slices, and plated them, before placing them in front of Bucky and Natasha, before he set his own slice down at his spot at the table. "So what were you guys talking about?" Bucky asked Steve and Natasha curiously as he raised his brow at them both. "We were talking about last night. Somehow we were not all the animals we used to be with pizza." Steve informed Bucky wondering if he would find it as funny as him and Natasha did. Bucky nodded his head. "Maybe we weren't all as hungry as we thought we would be." Steve and Natasha both nodded at Bucky's summary of how they all were feeling the other night. Natasha did have thoughts of her own about the guys' reasoning for not stuffing their faces last night, but she didn't say anything to them. She did wonder to herself if both Steve and Bucky may have just had their mind on something else last night. That something obviously did not revolve around food. She bit her lip refusing to believe it was all about their feelings for her. Natasha tried really hard not to blush too much. She knew how she was feeling, but she didn't exactly want Bucky or Steve to be able to get a read in on her thoughts yet.
