Thaw

Clarification

***Katia POV***

After we soak and rest, Bucky and I step out of the tub and get dressed. I playfully take the last of his clean t-shirts and wear it with a pair of panties. His shirt is massive on me, fitting more like a dress.

"I like you in my clothes" he says and kisses the top of my head before walking passed me to grab a fresh pair of briefs and sweatpants from his bag of luggage he left here Sunday night when we got back from seeing Sam... He opts for no shirt since apparently I had truly taken his last clean one.

"You could always leave some clothes here, if you'd like." I say casually. He looks up at me while pulling up his sweat pants.

"Maybe I will" he says and winks.
"Are you hungry?" He asks, kissing the top of my head again as he passes me and walks into the kitchen.

I actually haven't eaten since he left Sunday night... and it's now Tuesday. The lack of substance has left me feeling slightly buzzed from my two glasses of Prosecco.

"When was the last time you ate?" He asks pointedly, patronizing me with a stern look. He is standing on the other side of the counter, and peers into my nearly empty fridge and stares back at me.

I don't answer.

He sighs with a look of disappointment.
His mood quickly changes when he realizes why I haven't eaten, and his expression changes to guilt and sadness. He leans against the counter, casting his eyes downward for a moment.

"I'll go pick us up food." He asserts, starting to walk towards the bedroom to finish getting dressed.

"We can have food delivered." I suggest. He looks at me for a moment, honestly forgetting that was an option.

"I knew that." He scratches his neck. "Whatever you want, I'm buying."

"Sushi?" My favorite...

"Perfect." He pulls out his phone, and tries to figure out how to get it delivered. I walk over and cover his phone with my hand.

"I got it, old man. They have these things called 'apps' now" I roll my eyes teasing him, and he slaps my ass playfully.

"Watch your tone, young lady" he says in a scolding tone, and smiles. He is still trying to figure out the delivery 'phone number.' I laugh and let him try to figure it out. He is so damn stubborn... it's adorable.

The last two days have been nothing short of hell... I honestly didn't think he would return. I missed him so fucking much...
I don't blame him for storming out... I understand why he was upset. I just didn't think he would view me as dangerous, and that honestly hurt me... almost as bad as him leaving. I would never hurt anyone, especially him. I thought he would've learned by now what kind of person I am. Part of the reason I waited to tell him was so he could get to know me and trust me.
But knowing his temperament and trust issues, it wasn't a surprise how he reacted.
I love him so much... I have never cared for someone so deeply in my entire life. I know he and I need to clear the air still, but I figure we can discuss things while we eat.

"What would you like, Kitten?" He asks, interrupting my thoughts.

"Anything but California rolls." I tell him honestly.

He nods and calls the restaurant. He ends up ordering entirely too much sushi for two people, but I'm not complaining. He asks about delivery options, and I hear the person on the other end saying they don't do delivery, but he offers to pay them $50 just to deliver it this one time and they agree to make an exception. He hangs up and smirks.

"It's been handled. No apps required." He says, proud of himself. I just giggle and hug his bare chest. I kiss his smooth skin, and nip his nipple. He throws me over his shoulder and throws me down on the couch playfully.
