History of You and Me

Chapter 7

"Your apartment?" I repeat and he nods

I look at the clock on the wall and sigh
"Could we possibly.. stay until 11 when this place closes."
I request
"Sure"
He says

"But I think I'll need another beer"
He teases.
I look at my half filled beer and take one more swig then give it to him
"Drink that instead. I don't want it"

Then I lean on the counter and watch him as he drink the rest of the beer quickly
"Is your tolerance the same as Steve's?"
I ask and Bucky nods
"Unfortunately. We're both super soldiers"
The room goes quiet so then I say the first thing that comes to mind

"Buck- you're clean of the winter soilder guy right?"
I ask him and he looks at me then the corners of his mouth turn up
"You've been stalking me"
"I was looking for you! Reading about you was the only way to do that"

Bucky clears his throat and changes the subject
"What was your plan of attack to find me?"
"Well the only successful one- this. Getting a job here"
He lowers his eyebrows and smirks
"That was the plan?"
"Yup that was the plan. But it got me to you so..." My words trail off

Then Bucky leans closer to me and quietly says
"It's 10:58. Can we go?"
"Fine"
I look him in the eyes then I kiss him on the cheek and he blushes
"We used to do that all the time"
"But you'd be the one kissing my cheek"

I say walking to the back to get my bag
"I used to think you liked me!"
I call out

I actually wanted, not thought he liked me. I liked him so much but I could never tell him all I could do was wish he liked me back and confessed first. Except that never happened

"What?"
He says as I come back

I drop my bag on the counter and grab the broom
"You were such a flirt and you'd do that to girls you actually liked"

As I start to sweep behind him he turns around in his barstool and watches me but stays quiet

I quickly sweep up the floor then once I finish Bucky had grabbed my hand
"Could I give you a hug?"
He asks and I nod
His voice filled with love but yet loneliness. I felt as if he no one to really talk to.

He stood up and pulls me into a big hug wrapping my torso in his arms and mine around his neck, tiptoeing as I hug him. I forgot how tall he was.

Then after a couple of seconds that felt like hours I let go and we leave.

I go to lock the doors but I just couldn't seem to do it
"Could you lock the door?"
He sarcastically says

It was cold out I hadn't brought a jacket so I had been shivering making it impossible to close the door.

"It's cold I can't"
I whine
He takes off his jacket and hands it to me then takes the keys from me and locks the door
I put on his jacket and he looks at me
"Better?"
"Much"
I giggle

We get in my car and he gives me directions to his apartment. We make it to the apartment and go up to it.
A lady walking out had looked at me with a surprised look as if she knew Bucky and thought I was just a late night randevu
