Mystifying the Captain (Steve X OC)

Chapter 22 - Party time

(Cassia POV)

It's midday and it's Bucky's turn to watch over me. I'm trying to keep my nerves down, it's getting close the the shut down. He takes me to the kitchen were Cap is sitting eating a pizza.

"You are allowed to go to the party you know." Bucky says continuing our conversation. He heats up some pop-tarts and I sit a few seats away from Cap. He pauses his chewing and glances at me for a second then takes a swig of his beer.

"I don't know. I'm pretty sure Stark doesn't want a know criminal messing with his fun." I lean over the counter smelling the pop-tarts. Something about them....

"He told me to extend the invitation. I think he just wants to try whatever he can to help you remember." He puts the plate in front of me.

"Did we do many parties back then?" I look at him slowly grabbing my snack.

"No, actually..." He thinks back. I'm sure wondering why the party would help me in any way. He passes me a cold glass of water.

I stop for a second looking at the combination. I can see raise of sunlight hit a small white table. A woman smiling at me softly wiping my lips with a cloth.

"Are you okay?" Cap asks turning to me. I look over at him and give him a wink. I can't let them know I am remembering things. My mission is still in the works.

"Perfect Cap. Just thinking about what to wear for the party." He shakes his head in disbelief, takes his empty plate to the sink, and walks out holding his beer.

I take a deep breath. For a moment it felt like he wanted my love. It hit me like nothing before. It was strong, warm, and inviting.

"Wanda and Nat will help you with the clothes." As if summoned Nat walks in with a big box and places it next to me.

"What's this?" I look at her concerned. Last time I got a box like this, it was from one of the Hydra agents messing with me. It had cut up fingers inside, he said they were form the kid I hugged once during an op. 

"It's a dress. We figured you would need one." She says opening the box. Bucky leans in curious. I put my snack down and look over softly grabbing it. It was silver and reflective. Looked like it would be tight on the bodice. There was soft grey fabric that would flow down from the hips. A bit conservative for me, but I had to be at this party now that I learned the shut down will happen mid party.

"Thank you. You don't have anything shorter do you?" I look over at Nat. She laughs and shakes her head closing the box and leaving it there for me.

"I think everyone has seen enough of your ass after that dance at the club." She pats my shoulder and walks out. I actually like her, she has no filter.

"Okay come on, lets take that to your room. Maybe we can get some running in before the party."

"AGAIN?" I groan...we ran this morning I'm fucking tired.

He grabs me and forces me up, I quickly get my box. "I didn't finish my snack"

"Not my fault." He says chuckling to himself pushing me out the room.

**Time skip**

I finally get the dress on, and notice the back has a giant scoop that ends just above my ass. Sexier than I thought. I like this. I let my hair air dry with some products on it, my hair looks like soft curls framing my face perfectly. I put on red lips and my usual blue eyeliner. I slip on some dark blue heels I had asked Nat to get me. That girl is winning me over, I need to be careful.
