Infatuated - (Fem Reader X Steve Rogers)

Chapter 4 - Gallery

The night before court -

I had paid off the police to stop the cameras and let me go into a private room with this man...I learned his name was Richard. I made sure to put my suit on and switch to a mask that covers my entire face. So the police didn't know who I was.

They bring him in and shut the door without any questions. "What is this?"

"So you like beating on young girls Huh?" I walk around the table and grab his collar roughly. I slam him into the wall, flipping him over me and onto the table. I bend down and press my knife into his neck.

"Stop! Please stop!"

I smile under my mask as I see a drop of blood roll down his neck, "Why did you do it?" He only cries, not answering me. I grab him and throw him into the wall, he turns and holds his nose as it bleeds. "Why!" I yell.

He holds his hands up, "I needed money for my supply. This wasn't my first time. I...I was high. I had no idea what I was doing!" He yells in fear.

I laugh, "What were you using? Meth? Cocaine?"

"Meth!" He yells as I punch him.

I hold him down on the floor as I punch him over and over. "This is exactly what you did to that girl. You pathetic piece of shit...she is only sixteen!" I yell, slamming his head on the ground.

I grow tired of this and quickly slit his throat.

I wipe my knife on his chest and leave the room, quickly slipping out the back door.

——September, Five days later...Friday —

The case closed, Steve was confused but the police told him that an inmate killed Richard.

Another scumbag was out of this world.

Bella was doing so much better, she now back to staying in her apartment with her roommate.

I also have been terribly busy during costume fittings, and making sure the stage props were set.

I was working with our female lead, Jenna, I was hunched over pinning the back of her costume with five pins sticking out of my mouth. I look up at her through the mirror, "That feels better." She nods.

"Y/N! Phone call, it's Mr. Barnes." Pepper rushes over. I take the last pins out of my mouth and tilt my head back, she places my phone on my shoulder and I lean my head over on it as I continue to use my hands to pin the costume.

"What's up, buttercup." I say.

"Was just callin to see if you were still coming to my art showcase tonight."

"Of course dumbass. You know I always go to them. You still coming to my kids performance?"

"Of course dumbass." He repeats after me.

"I'm leaving work early to go change, I got a real cute dress for tonight."

"You always look beautiful, Y/N." He chuckles.

"Well thank you, darling. I'll see you tonight." I nod up at Pepper, she takes my phone as I finish the last pin. "Sorry about the language, Jenna." I wasn't too worried, she was in my senior group.

"It's alright, ma'am." She giggles.

"Alright we'll have this hemmed by Monday. I want you back here at noon to try it on. Then you and Conner will run through your parts in costume."
