The Bet

Chapter 20: Date 27

"What's on the agenda for tonight Barnes?" You ask Bucky.

"Mini golf." He says. You giggle as he drags you by your hand.

The two of you play mini golf. You threatened to hit Bucky with your club after he blocked your golf ball from going into the hole. He apologized, but continued to do it. Until you did, in fact, smack him with your golf club.

When you got a hole in one, you hugged Bucky out of excitement and kissed his cheek. Which made him blush and rub the back of his next.

To say the least, Bucky was losing. He would always curse whenever he got really close, but the golf ball would roll in the opposite direction of the hole.

"Just go in the hole!" He yells. You start cackling which makes him look at you. "That's what he said." You say. "Or she."

Bucky laughs and puts his right hand over his face. "Did you really have to say that?" He asks.

"Absolutely. Hurry up I'm hungry." You say.

Bucky rolls his eyes. "Be patient." He grumbles.

"That's not possible." You giggle.

*-*-*

"Oh come on!" You yell.

"Haha. Loser." Bucky says.

You're playing a race car game in the arcade. "You cheated." You say.

"How did I cheat doll?" Bucky asks.

"You covered my eyes with your hand. You also pushed me out of the seat." You huff.

"I'm sorry sweetheart. But don't be a sore loser. It doesn't look good on you." Bucky teases.

You kick him out of his seat. "Hey! Be nice!" Bucky yells.

"Screw you." You flip him off and walk away from him.

Bucky runs after you and wraps his arms around your waist. He pulls your back against his chest and rests his chin on your shoulder. "Don't leave me." He whispers.

"I'm not going anywhere. I'm still hungry." You say.

You swear you felt Bucky press his lips against your throat. But it was probably an accident. Right?

Bucky pulls away and takes your hand in his. "How 'bout we get some burgers?" He asks.

"Burgers sound amazing." You say. He flashes a smile at you and continues to pull you by your hand.

*-*-*

"Alright dolly, burgers are ordered. Now we wait." Bucky says as he sits across from you. You nod and take a sip of your water.

"So, you won in mini golf. I won in arcade games." Bucky says.

"You cheated." You say still visibly upset.

"Okay fine. Next time we play an arcade game, I won't block your vision or kick you out of your seat." Bucky says.

"Or win." You add. Bucky sighs, "Or win."

You smile at him. That's when he knew that he'd let you win any game in the whole world if it meant he got to see your smile. Hear your laugh. Anything. He'd do it all.

*-*-*

After dinner, you and Bucky got back to the compound. Tonight, he decided to walk you to your room.

"Well, I had fun tonight. Beside the part where you cheated in an arcade game." You say.

Bucky rolls his eyes and pulls you in for a hug. You wrap your arms around his waist. Bucky kisses the top of your head and inhales deeply. Savoring the sent of your shampoo.

Finally, you pull away. "I'll see you tomorrow." You say. Bucky nods and leans down to kiss your cheek.
