Its been a week since Maddie told James about her past. She is back working and being her normal self. The whole team was being very nice and kind watching exactly what they said once she told them that she was just in a state of depression with the death of her parents. She didn't know she was going to pull herself into a dark hole, every year she would just have awful September 27, and she prepared she usually took the day off or the week to go and hangout with friends but she had gotten use to working on that day and not letting it ruin her, but this year was different with knowing about he dad. James was still keeping his distance since he wasn't sure if they were on good terms, yes, he did help her with that week but she also had just told him to never speak to her again and he didn't know which way to lean on.It was Friday night and Maddie had just dropped Morgan off at her grandparents house and returned back to her apartment. She kicked off her shoes and threw on a oversize T-shirt with just a pair of underwear underneath. It was about 7 o'clock and the team had already ate and she decided she would just make something. She pulled out her left over carne asada, onions, cilantro, avocado, lime, cheese, and tortillas. Placing them all on the counter there was a knock at her door, usually Nat and Wanda would just walk right in, so she knew it had to be one of the boys. Opening the door, he stood there, he had a black long sleeve shirt on and black jeans. He hair was pushed back behind his ear with some gel, his hands were behind his back and he had a small smile on his face looking down at her. Her hair was a little messy from taking her hair out of the messy bun she had it in all day. Her eyelash had a small amount of mascara on making her eyes look large, her lips had a shimmer to them as she had recently applied lip gloss. Her oversized T-shirt hung just middle of her thigh and she had on her knee high socks that she was wearing earlier that day.
Earlier That Day
"Bye" Morgan high pitch voice yelled out to the team as Maddie waited by the door as she gave everyone a hug. Everyone watched Morgan go around the room and give hugs, but James eyes weren't on Morgan they were on Maddie, she had on her knee high socks with her black combat boots. She wore a leather skirt and a beige long sleeve that was tucked in showing her slim pear figure. Her hair was in a messy bun and she had a leather jacket in one hand and Morgans suitcase in the other. Her makeup minimal as always showing her natural beauty. James couldn't help up look at her, she looked great and that's all he wanted to tell her. Everyone eyes were still following Morgan except for Nat and Wanda once Wanda read James mind and nudged Nat to look. Even though James face was neutral Nat could see his smile he held behind his tight lip mouth. His eyes looking her up and down the entire time until Morgan stood next to him and quickly turned his attention to Morgan giving her a big hug, as Morgan gave his arm a kiss like she does everytime she leaves, it always makes him blush, no one ever notices it, its very quick but he sees it every time, he always remembers when she first did it. Morgan was only about 9 months old and Pepper asked him to hold her while she answered a phone call. Morgan was touching his arm and fingers and putting his fingers in her mouth like every baby does. Right before Pepper walked in she looked up at James like she was talking to him, grabbing his hand a giving a big kiss to the middle of his metal palm. His heart felt so full knowing she didn't see him as a bad person, she seen him and him and not The Winter Soldier.
Once Maddie and Morgan left, James went to his apartment, looking around his place was a lot cleaner that it use to be, he does his dishes every night, he keep the blanket on the couch on the back of it when its not in use, he opens the windows every morning, he started doing his laundry more than once every two weeks, he started making his bed in the morning when he remembered, and he started using that shampoo she recommended, he hates to admit it but it actually works really well. He sat down on the couch looking for that show she was watching when he was there, Once..Once.., he knew it started with Once and it was about fairy tales but he couldn't remember the name. He is pulled from his thoughts when there was a knock at his door, standing up he looks threw the peephole and see Natasha and Wanda, he opens the door and the both have a huge smile on their faces "What?" he asks confused at what they are so happy about, they don't say anything they walk in close the door and look at him, he is getting slightly freaked out with their smiles "You going to keep smiling at me like those masked people from the Purge or are you going to speak?" Wanda is the first to speak up "You like Maddie" his eyes go wide for a second trying to figure out how did they know "I-I, um I don't" he tries to come off confident but that stutter didn't let that happen. "Yes you do, I read your mind and you were looking her up and down the entire time until she left, you like her"
