Avenge the Shadows (I)

CHARLOTTE'S POV

Being around Steve meant I had to be careful on how to act around him. I had to remind myself that he lived in a different time, where women were not as forward as I was. "Besides, I'm very touchy and I forget that you just came back and you probably aren't used to have visitors and now I'm babbling because I'm nervous and probably should shut up now." I put my hands over my face as he chuckled. "You are very amusing, to say the least and you just proved that you are not one of them." I peaked through my hands and he took my hands off my face. "So, Miss Charlotte, tell me what did I miss all these years?" I crossed my legs and got comfortable to talk. We talked about old TV shows, especially about my favorite one, I love Lucy. Then, we talked about the consequences of the World War II, like the Berlin Wall or the Moon Race and he was really interested in that. "What about food?"

I smiled at him and talked about the different kinds of food we have now as he was impressed that we did not boil everything anymore. I looked at him and he had a tiny smile on. "Do you want me to cook dinner for you?" I asked as I stood up and he did the same. "You do not have to." I giggled and hugged him again. "But I want to." This time he hugged me right back and pulled me closer. By now, I was more relaxed and I could act more like myself. He smirked at the ground and started walking to the kitchen. I look for the food he had and then I just stared at him, like trying to figure out what he wanted to eat. "What?" His question made me smile. "I'm trying to read you." I said as I supported my weight on the cupboard. "Me or Captain?" His question made me smile. "Believe it or not, I like Steve more than Cap." He smiled and looked down. "Go and watch a movie or something while I cook." He took a second before moving.

"I'm not going to poison you." He stared at me and I just walked to him and kissed his cheek. "I promise." I walked back to the cupboard, with my back to him and stayed like that. I was really embarrassed now, but I could not show him that. "Any suggestions?" His question made me smile and I turned around. "Saturday Night Fever seems like an appropriate movie for you." I had already mixed flour and water, so I could not hand him my drive. "On my back pocket there's a flash drive, hook it to the TV and enjoy." Steve walked closer to me and hesitated before putting his hand on me. "It's okay." I told him and he walked out as I kept mixing. After a while, I had the lasagna noodles ready to go, so I started assembling my lasagna, hoping that Steve liked it. I put the timer and walked to the living room. "Young John Travolta will always be awesome." I said as Steve was absorbed into the movie. "I cannot believe men danced like that." He smiled and I was happy of doing that.

When the time was finally up, I ran to the kitchen and took the lasagna out of the oven. I served two plates, took some beers and walked back to him. "Dinner is ready." As I put the plate in front of him, he looked at it and then at me. "How did you know it was my favorite?" I stared at him confused. "I didn't. I just cooked what I wanted to eat. But I'm glad it's your favorite. Now, dig in. Hope you like it." I sat down next to him and pressed the next movie. 'Grease' started and I hummed the song as Steve just ate silently. When I ended eating, I left my plate on the coffee table. "Do you want more?" I asked with a smile, as he nodded, I walked back with his new plate of food. He smiled at me thankful of giving him real food and for some reason, I snuggled to Steve when I sat down. He did not seem to mind and I enjoyed the movie and his warmth. Even with the chimney on, it was really cold and I really did not know how he could survive like that. "I miss being cold."

I laughed at that. "You were frozen for seventy years." He chuckled and I laughed again. Slowly, I got even more comfortable around him. It was weird, he made me feel at peace, maybe finding him after all this time was making me feel like this and I felt good. Being around him brought this calm and I was more than okay with that.
