Help Me To Heal

Today is the day

Alexandria Jennings watched her reflection carefully as she attempted to curl her hair using a curling wand she had bought on impulse a few years prior. She had used it several times but had still never been able to get the hang of it, mostly her best friend Natasha had used it to curl her hair for her on their weekly girls nights. As she thought about her now gone best friend she felt a pang of pain in her chest and fought back the tears that threatened to fall on to her freshly done make up. Nat had been gone for a couple of months now but it wasn't getting any easier.

Alexandria was pulled from her train of thought as her boyfriend of over 5 years came out of the bathroom, she watched him in the mirror as he walked towards the bed, only a towel wrapped low on his hips. She licked her lips absentmindedly as she gawked at his muscular frame. He spotted her watching him and flashed her a flirty grin and a wink. This took her by surprise and the momentary distraction caused her to loose her grip on the curling wand and it slipped out of her hand and burnt her neck.

"Ah shit!" She hissed as she pulled the hot curling iron away and placed it down on her dresser flicking the power button to turn it off.

Her boyfriend strode over and brushed her hair back before leaning forward to get a good look at the extent of the burn

"It's not too bad but we need to get some cold water on it, come on sweetheart"
He took Alexandria by the hand and lead her in to the bathroom before lifting her effortlessly and sitting her on the counter next to the sink and soaking a cloth in cold water and placing it on the burn.

"You're such a clutz Lexie Jennings" he said affectionately

"Well Steve Rogers, if you weren't so damn distracting maybe I wouldn't be so accident prone"

Alexandria had met Captain America many many years ago, they had a rocky start and lost touch for a long time before reconnecting and falling in love, but I digress, the story of their beginning is for another time.

Once Steve was satisfied that the burn on Lexie's neck had been sufficiently tended to he lifted her down off the counter and lightly smacked her ass as she sauntered back in to the bedroom dropping her satin bath robe to the floor leaving her wearing nothing but a black thong and matching black sheer bra

"Lexie darling, can you not?" Steve sighed running his hand over his face

"Can I not what my love?" Lexie asked innocently

"Can you not be so irresistibly gorgeous? Talk about distraction"

"I don't know what you're talking about Captain"

Steve groaned heavily at the name, Lexie knew that it did something to him when she called him Captain and she used it to her advantage

"Quit staring honey and get dressed, the guys will be here any minute" She grinned as she pulled a oversized light blue cable knit sweater over her head, before leaning down to grab a pair of legging shorts out of her bottom draw, making sure her ass was on display enough to keep Steve's attention. As she stood up and turned Steve was right there, he pushed her back towards the dresser until her butt was resting on it, his arms either side of her pinning her in place. Just as they leaned in for a kiss, the doorbell chimed.

Steve sighed and stepped back "I'll go let them in, you get dressed and try and um.. calm down" Lexie gestured towards the bulge in the towel that was now struggling to stay wrapped around his hips.

She pulled on her shorts and stuffed her feet in to her slipper boots before running downstairs to the front door. She flung it open to see Sam Wilson grinning at her, James Bucky Barnes behind him looking moody as ever and Bruce Banner stood behind the two of them, still in his Banner/Hulk form waving with his good arm, the one he had used to wield the infinity stones still being in a sling.
