History of You and Me

Chapter 11

Bucky and I both couldn't go to sleep after our 4 am greet. So we watched some television shows for a little while until I rested my head and instantly fell asleep.

Except this time, my head in buckys lap. I remember falling asleep to him playing with my hair, which gave me a giddy feeling as I fell asleep.
I woke up at 8:30. I sat up and Bucky was asleep. He looked precious when he slept.

I grabbed my things and placed them on the couch, slipping on my shoes once more like I had a couple of hours ago. I kissed his forehead but before I left I had an idea. I found a small note pad and pencil on his kitchen counter.

I wrote
Dear,
Bucky
Sorry to sneak out without a goodbye but I didn't want to wake you. Hopefully we can hangout another time soon. I had a blast with you, I'm glad I found you after so long.
Love you lots
Diane <3
Ps- here's my number

I placed the note on the table in front of the couch then left.

I went to Dahlias house. I walked in and she was in her kitchen pouring coffee.
"Spending the night at his house. Not a good move"
She judges walking over to me
As I took my jacket off, I sigh
"You sound like my mom. Aren't i the older one? I know what I'm doing Dal. I didn't want to drive in the dark"

She scoffs sitting down at her couch
"Don't be like that"
I tell sitting beside her

She was annoyed with me the rest of the day so I decided to go to my own house after trying to stay there for only 5 minutes. At 10 my phone rang. It was from an unknown number
"Hello?"
I ask
"Dee"
Bucky says
"Oh hi buck. You got my note"
I say
From his end it sounded like he was walking around

But he didn't say anything then I say quietly
"Why'd you call?"
"Just wanted to see if.. this was your number"

I chuckle
"Well.."
"Well bye"
"Are you sure that's the only reason you called me"
I say into the phone leaning against my kitchen island
"I uh I actually"
He pauses.
"Buckyy just tell me what you want to"
I say
"Well um"
He laughs dryly
It's cute how awkward he is after all this time.

"Do you want to- Actually never mind I'll just um- bye"
He says but I quickly say
"Wait Bucky"
I think he was trying to ask me to hangout.

"I've been meaning to ask you if we're in contact with Steve and if you could help meg get see him"
"I could bring you to his house and we could all have a- like- reunion"
I gasp
"Yes. Absolutely"
"How's tomorrow?"
"Tomorrow's great"
"Alright I can take you to his place tomorrow"
"Ok great"
I hang up and sigh

I'm seeing Steve tomorrow. It's weird how I'm more nervous about seeing him than I was with Bucky.

Later that night I went to go work at the bar. All morning I had thought about quitting but I thought I might keep the job for the rest of the month.

I didn't have to close up today, thank god. So as the bar started to slow down as it got later I wiped down the counter and a costumer came in. Another one of the workers took care of him but he kept looking my way. When the other girl had gone to the back to get his drink he said
"You're pretty cute"
This type of interaction is one of the main things I hate about this job, though.

"Thanks"
I dully say
"Could I get your number"
"No. My heart belongs to boys born in the 1920s"
He scoffs thinking I'm joking
"Could I at least get a smile?"
He asks. I go over to him
"Could I at least get some respect"
Then walk to the back
