My Life Before You

Chapter 7

Y/N's POV

Bucky and I finally made it to Louisiana. As we were walking to Sam's sister's (Sarah) house we could see him on the docks.

"So who's gonna grab that heavy ass box?", Sam asked.

Sam still not noticing our presence Bucky walked up and picks up the box setting it to the side. Sam looked at him with disbelief.

"Bucky...? How the hell are you here and how did you know I was gonna be here?", Sam walked towards him.

"I didn't, y/n did. She located you after she saved me"

Walking out from behind Bucky I wave at Sam. "Hi, Sam"

"y/n...looks like it was a good idea for you to go save Buck after all. I would've came and helped, but you sent me the wrong coordinates", Sam said as he crossed his arms.

"ohhh that's why you didn't come", I chuckled nervously.

Turning to Bucky I see him looking down at me with a pissed off look. I quickly stop laughing and clear my throat.

"Come on. We need to talk", says Bucky as he starts walking away.

By the tone of his voice I can tell that it won't be a happy conversation. "Um, no thanks. I think i'll stay with Sam. See if he needs some..."

Bucky stares at me, his arms crossed with a "test me, I dare you" look on his face.

I sigh and walk in Bucky's direction. With a smirk he turns back around and starts walking.

After about 2 minutes we reach an abandon shack.

"so you brought me here because...?"

"With no one around I assumed it'd be easier for you to tell me the truth", Bucky said.

I give him a confused look. "I don't understand"

"When you saved me there was a bright light coming from your hands", he grabs my hands to look at them. "It caused you to faint..."

I laugh as I gently pull my hands away. "oh, that? That was just a flash from one of my gadgets"

Bucky sighs, "there you go lying, again"

"Excuse me, again? When have I ever lied to you", I spat

"y/n i've seen you do things...things that no one else can and every time I brought it up you
would come up with some excuse. I let it go because I trusted you-"

"Are you saying you don't anymore?", I asked as I look away from him.

He walks closer to you. "No, i'm not". Grabbing my chin he turns my head to look at him "I'm saying I deserve some real answers"

I sigh. "You do, but...what if I told you it's safer that you don't know?"

Setting one hand on each side of my face he looks at me with worry. "y/n, are you in trouble with someone?"

"I-", I hesitate to answer.

Maybe it's time that I told him about my past. I look up at him and I could see how worried he was. How could I make him worry even more by saying there's a god out there hunting me down.

Setting my hands on top of his I smile. "No, not at all. I just need you to understand that I can't tell you what you want to hear. At least not right now"

Bucky stares at me before letting me go. "Okay, but just know that if you ever need me I'm here"

"I know", I smile. "How about we go back out? I wanna go say hi to Sarah"

"Alright, let's go", Bucky starts walking away.

I frown noticing he's still somewhat upset. A smirks creeps up on my face as an idea pops up in my head. I stay still waiting for Bucky to notice me.

Once he does he turns around. "What are you doing?", he asked

Spinning around I quickly yell. "Trust fall!"

I start to fall back. As i'm falling I hear footsteps running towards me.

Just as I'm about to hit the ground I feel Bucky wrap his arms around me.

He's now sitting on his knees with me laying on his lap.

Looking up I see his face hanging over mine.

"I hate when you do that. It's always when i'm so far away from you", Bucky sighs.

I laugh. "and yet you catch me every time"

Leaning upward I give him a small peck on the lips. He slowly starts to smile.

"Awe there's that smile", I say.

Grabbing his face I pull it closer to mine. "Your smile is one of my favorite things about you", I squish his cheeks like a grandma would to her grandson.

"oh really?"

I let him go. "Mhm, what's your favorite thing about me?", I said as I kissed him again.

"Mmm...", he thinks for a second. Looking back down at me he smirks. "...your ass"

My smile quickly fades away. "Fuck you, James".

I get up from his lap and walk away.

"oh come on. I was just kidding!", I hear him shout from behind me.

Ignoring him I continue walking forward. I hear his footsteps again as he runs towards me.

I yelp as Bucky comes up from behind me and picks me up bridal style.

"Put. me. down", I say with a serious tone.

"You're not seriously mad are you?"

"Yes, I am", I snapped.

"Hey, I wasn't serious. Besides I couldn't just choose one thing about you. I love every...", he kisses my neck. "single...", then my cheek. "thing about you", and finally my lips.

I smile as I return the kiss. My arms wrapped around his neck. He smiles into the kiss. "but your ass is still pretty high on the favorites list"

I slap him in the back of the head.

"Just had to ruin the moment, huh?"

He laughs as I force myself out of his arms. I start walking out the shack.

Following behind me Bucky catches up and grabs my hand. Hand in hand we walk back to Sam.

...

Making it to Sarah's house we walk in and are immediately greeted by AJ and Cass.

"Uncle Bucky! Aunt y/n! I didn't know you guys were coming", Cass said.

AJ and Cass are Sarah's kids and since we're always here for holidays we've become really close with the family. Before we knew it they started calling us Aunt and Uncle.

"We wanted to surprise you! We missed you guys", I said as I crouched down to hug them both.

"Good to see you both", Bucky smiled as he pat their heads. He's not very affectionate when it comes to kids.

Sarah walked in after and said hi.

We stayed for a few hours just catching up with Sarah and Sam.

Nightfall came and it was time to go to bed. Sam offered to let us stay at Sarah's, but we knew she didn't have the room so we politely declined.

Beside Bucky and I haven't see each other in weeks. We needed some...alone time. If you catch my drift.
