Ghost

Chapter : Fourteen

                                   Spencer's POV

   So I'm actually kind of excited for tonight. Shockingly, we're meeting Steve and Bucky for a double date. I know, how adorable is that?

      How did this come about, you ask? Well there was a day we were hanging around with some of the avengers like we do and I asked Bucky how he and Steve were doing.

       Yeah, you can imagine how flustered he got. It was cute. You should have been there.

       He questioned how I knew, of course. I told him I just have fantastic gaydar. He was confused. So I told him it wasn't hard to tell the love they have for each other. They clearly meant a lot to one another and I thought it was beautiful that their love story has lasted through time this long.

       After that we just really hit it off. Even telling stories from the drunken night we spent in New York. Let's just say I wish I still didn't remember. Some horrible karaoke and five more hours more of  drinking didn't do me any favors.

       By the end of that same night I asked if they'd be interested in a double date, even going as far as offering to come back to the states for it. However, they wanted to take the opportunity to visit Greece properly and I don't blame them. So they're here for a week or so and we're meeting them tonight for dinner and drinks.

        Of course we're going to Mamas. You think I'd take them anywhere else? I've got to show them the best. And show off maybe a little bit. Just a tad.

         So Carol and I were waiting in front of the restaurant so we could walk in together. I was excited for the food, then the drinking and dancing to happen afterwards.

      "Babe, how are you cold right now?" Carol interrupts my thoughts.

      "Huh? I didn't even realize I was shivering. You aren't cold?"

      "No, it's like 65 degrees out right now, you're seriously cold?"

      "I've got the regular body temp lower than a snake, okay? I need warmth to survive."

      "I don't know how you ever survived anywhere else. But here." She takes off her jacket as she says this, wrapping it around my shoulders and immediately giving me some relief. I'm pretty sure she just wears jackets so she has one for me. Because I make sense, I'm cold all the time but hate bringing a jacket. She's seriously so thoughtful and beautiful and I love her..

      "I love you."

       She laughs at my randomness but doesn't hesitate to reply with, "I love you too." She kisses me on the nose. Cute.

      And that's when the boys decided to arrive. They were very smartly dressed. If I didn't know any better, and if I were at all into men, I would try to get a piece of them for sure. Oh no, don't tell Carol I thought that! Though she has nothing to worry about. I'm devoted. And gross; boys.

      We greeted each other with hugs. "Well, let's get out of this cold and into the outstanding establishment, shall we?"

     "Babe, I'm pretty sure you're the only one that's cold." She calls me out and they all laugh.

      I just offer up a muffled, "whatever" as we enter the place. The smells could literally make me weak in the knees.

      "Wow, I'm somehow even more excited to eat now. How'd you find this place Spencer?"

      "Well that's a great story, actually. It was like the second day I was in Greece and I was doing some exploring on my bike. It had been awhile and I was starving. I spotted this place and pulled over immediately. It was just my luck that it's the best restaurant in Greece and that the owner would come to love me." I smile proudly. I can't help it, this is a happy place for me.
