Bee to my Barnes

part 21

‘you called.’ His tone weary as though trying to read you through the phone.
‘...yea.’ you hesitate your reply trying to gauge his emotions. 

‘I’m glad you called.’ His pitch heightening a little sounding hopeful that you feel the same way.

‘’You are?’ taking a curl of your hair twizzling it in your fingertips.

‘of course. I will always be happy when you call.’ A smile spreading across your face at his words. ‘where are you?’’

‘Just leaving your office of your still here, sorry about not replying earlier... You won’t believe me if I told you what happened.’

Wanting to hear her explanation and to clarify if he was misreading the situation James responds ‘Try me.’

‘well.....after the meeting about the anniversary event today with Tony that started a complete disaster, but then we turned it around settling on plans to work with. I was heading out and didn’t notice you in the lift...but then again you hadn’t noticed me either and I thought, maybe...you were ignoring me on purpose. You know like in regret or something. I didn’t want to disturb you or find out if you didn’t want to speak to me so you know, just stood there. THEN I got so distracted when I got your text I actually dropped my phone!’

Letting out a laugh at your clumsiness you continue. ‘It smashed the screen as you were calling and I couldn’t answer. A young lad called Peter, works for Tony and Steve actually fixed it. So that was really cool of him.'

Spurting it all out in one breath, your voice hyped at telling James about your day. You finished with an upbeat huff at finally getting your point across.

Releasing his sigh of release, Bucky walks out from the office block and taps you on the shoulder from behind. With a huge teeth baring grin.

‘Well...are you free for dinner then or not?’
