Finally you came into my life 🤍

Chapter 12 ~ The News

Reader's p.o.v.

The next morning I woke up by the knock on my door, but I just kept sleeping.
The door opened and I felt someone sitting in my bed.
"Hey sleepy head. Happy Birthday!!!" Wanda said enthusiastically.
"Wake up, y/n, we need to tell us what happened last night. Oh and Happy Birthday!" Nat said.
I got up and just looked at them.
"Just let me wake up first!" I said and went to the bathroom.
"It was that bad?" Nat said and Wanda gave her a serious look.

After I cleaned up my face, I leaned at the door frame.
"Well?" Wanda asked me.
"Nothing happened last night." I said and the girls gasped.
"What? Why?" They asked in union.
"Well, it was about to happen something, but I got panicked and we stopped."
"Oh, for the love of God, y/n." Nat said.
"No, it's ok. She got scared and that's fine." Wanda said. "What Steve said?"
"He was so understanding and sweet. Actually I had the best time yesterday." I smiled. "He is incredible."
"We are happy for you, but be prepared for tonight because you have to announce it to the others too." Nat said.
"Oh yes! I must start cooking immediately. Tony said he will organize the after party."
"Why did you agreed to this?" Wanda asked me.
"He was so excited. I couldn't say no."

We went to the kitchen for breakfast and I found Steve, his back facing us, waiting for his smoothie to be done.
Immediately, I was about to hugged him, but he turned to me and kissed me quickly. I jumped a little and he gasped when he saw Wanda and Nat.
"Don't worry. They know everything." I said and Wanda smiled at him, while Nat was smirking.
"Good morning girls. Good morning, sweetheart." He kissed me.
"How did you know it was me?" I asked him.
"Well, you're not exactly very quiet and I've learned your walking style." He said with a smirk.
I hugged him tightly.
"I'm gonna need a strong coffee or else I'll vomit." Nat said and Wanda giggled.

Then the others came too and smiled when they saw me.
"Lady y/n, I wish you the happiest Birthday." Thor said and he hugged me.
"Thank you, Thor! You're always full of energy." I said and he chuckled.
"I can't wait for tonight's dinner." He winked and opened the fridge.
"Kiddo, I wish you all the best and be ready for tonight's party." Tony said and I smiled.
"Thank you, Mr Stark and I trust you, don't worry."
"How many times will I tell you to call me Tony?" I blushed.
"Happy Birthday, kid. You're the best partner anyone could ask for." Bruce said with a warm smile.
"Hey!" Tony complained and I laughed.
"Thank you Bruce. This means a lot." We hugged.
Clint and Parker also came to wish me and then it was Pietro's turn.
I looked at Steve and he was looking at me tenderly, and I was wondering how I was still standing on my feet.
"Happy Birthday, beautiful. I wish you all the best because you deserve it." He hugged me.
"Thanks Pietro, always so nice."
"Hey, tough one. Happy Birthday, girl." Sam hugged me and kissed my cheek.
"Aww, Sam!"
"Best wishes for you, doll." Bucky said and kissed my hand.
"Stop doing that!" I said with a giggle and he gave me his charming smile.
"What?" He played dumb and then winked at me.
"Thank you Bucky for your wishes." He hugged me.
"You old man, you're not gonna wish for her birthday?" Tony asked Steve. "Or did you two fight again?"
"I wished to her, Tony." Steve simply said. Tony looked at me.
"He did." I answered. Oh, if you only knew Mr Stark.
After breakfast I told everyone to disappear from the kitchen so I can start cooking.

The hours we're passing and spaghetti al pesto was almost ready and I began making the tiramisù.

While I was dancing to the rythm of an Italian song, I felt two strong hands on my waist and I jumped a little.
"I didn't know you can do these moves." Steve whispered in my ears, sending shivers down to my spine.
"Hey!" I giggled. "Go away! I want to surprise you." I turned around and when I face him I gasped.
He just finished training, he was sweating, wearing his grey sport pants and a tight white t-shirt.
"Go away." I told him.
"Why?"
"Because if you stay a little longer I may throw myself all over you." I said and he smirked. He sat on the table, looking at me with a cocky smile.
"You're an idiot." I said with a smile. "But I mean it. Go away, because first, you smell and second it's not ready yet and I must started getting ready in a few."
"Sweetheart relax! You have plenty of time. Are you sure you don't need help?" I shook my head.
"The dessert is almost ready and then I'll go get dressed." He got up and kissed me. "Not here! Just wait till we announce it." He chuckled.
"Fine." he turned around and he was leaving. "Don't look at my ass, sweetheart."
"Damn you, Steve." I rolled my eyes with a smile and he laughed.
