History of You and Me

Chapter 27

I walked up the stairs to his apartment trying to figure out what I was going to say. When I was finally at his door.
I had no ideas

I knocked on the door and there was no answer at first.
Oh my god if he has that girl over again I'll just take that as a sign to never do anything like this again.

I knocked again but this time he answered immediately. His hair was damp and he had towel around his neck and a black shirt and black jeans on, aka the outfit he wears that makes me even more in love with him.

"Hi I hope I'm not intruding"
I say with a small smile
"Never. I just took a shower so I didn't hear the knock from the bathroom"

He opens the door wider so I walk into the apartment and Bucky closed the door behind me.
"Whats up?"
He asked throwing the towel into a laundry basket by the door.
"I wanted to talk to you about something"
I say
Panic flashes over his face but he tried to conceal it.
"Is it something bad?"
He asks softly
"Uh no.."
I say following him to the sofa where he had sat down. We sat on the opposite ends of the couch.

How do I say this
Hey remember when we almost kissed. So what was that about
Did you mean to almost kiss me or was that just spur of the moment
Hey buck do you love me like I love you

"Um so- I-I might be reading too much into this but um- the other night.. well uh we-"

Bucky

"-kinda almost kissed.. right?"

She actually said that
Holy shit she went there
My mind started to rush to think of what to say
I wasn't expecting that. I had a feeling she was going to say that but I was hoping she wasn't going to bring it up.

What do I even say to that
Yeah dee I love you and that why I wanted to kiss you but we couldn't . Wanna kiss now

But all I manage to actually say is
"When?"

When? That's all I could say!
She hates me doesn't she.
I just wish I could tell her how I feel and how hard I've fallen for her but it would just ruin us if she didn't feel the same.
But why is she even bringing this up. I thought we both just made an unspoken rule in that moment that we would forget it would happen

Diane

When? that's what he says to me addressing something so important
Unless it wasn't important to him

"The um other night. Ya know when Celia moved in"

I'm not reading into this too much right? We almost did kiss.. right?
God he's got me second guessing myself

Bucky

What do I say..
Do I admit that we were SO close to kissing
Or should I deny it
But then that would be horrible for her. She came all this way to talk about the almost kiss for me to just pretend it didn't happen. I don't wanna be that guy

But why did she come all this way just to talk about a kiss.. unless she wanted- no way

I guess I should just admit the truth

"Oh that- I-I guess we did almost.. kiss"

Then there's just silence.

Diane

Ya know what this is why I shouldn't listen to Dahlia.
Where do I go from here?
She told me to come here and talk about it but what do I say from this..

Cool great thanks for confirming we almost kissed

But then in the extreme silence of the room Bucky says
"Wanna go on a date"

What
