CHAPTER FIVE • James.

Bucky's point of view.

• RIGHT AFTER LAST CHAPTER : ON THE WAY TO BUCKY'S HOUSE •

It's 9 p.m. already, I've been training for 5 hours now. I'm a very athletic person so it's not that hard, however, I need to be in outstanding shape for the enlisting tests.

I pass the door and it only takes me 2 seconds to recognize that particular voice amongst all the others ones of my family: Janet. Each time I hear it I feel like the day is getting greater already, just by the sound of it.
I directly go to the kitchen following her voice, she's there playing the teacher with Lucas and Thomas who is still gripping her as always. Janet's comfortable here, I know her and her personality, she's reserved, introverted, and not the most open person you'd know. But as soon as she gets here she opens up, and I'm glad here is the place for that.

"Would you two give me my girl back?"

Janet turns her eyes at me, letting a smile get drawn on her face. Knowing I'm the reason for one of her smiles makes my heart flutters, just as each time.

"- You have to learn how to share Buck'.

- I'm not the one gripping you 24/7."

But I wish, though.
I come and gently make Thomas come down of Janet, he's pouting but he knows he'll come back in no more than 10 minutes. We all know it. He goes out of the kitchen, Lucas is still playing with... what they did, absolutely no idea of what is that liquid stuff.

"- My arms started to get sore, you saved me.

- As always, but it's my hug time now."

Janet smiles more when I take her in my arms, I gently keep her against me while she softly squeezes me against her. Those hugs are the most precious thing that I have and I could stay in her arms forever. It's only 5 seconds tops, it's all that I'm going to get and it's normal. But I need more, just to get closer. I'm already the luckiest person on earth to have those, but I just want more. Janet gently steps back from me, it's a little heartbreak every time but as soon as I see her smiling face again I feel like my heart is cured.

"- How was your day?

- Exhausting but great overall, how about you?

- Great too, tiring as well but alright. It's 9 p.m. though, long day at work?"

Janet is looking at me right in the eyes, arms crossed. She tries to keep the same soft expression on her face but I know her traits by heart and that slightly furrowed brow and slightly faded smile tells me that something is wrong.

" -...yes, a lot of work, took my time to come home.

- Is that so ?"

The more I talk and the more Janet's expression is changing. The question is: what did I do wrong? Lucas is still behind, but he's not playing anymore. He's cleaning all that they did in a very quick manner, as if he wanted to get out of that kitchen.

"- Yes I mean, there was a--

- Bucky don't lie to me, I know.

- I'm not lying to you--

- You were training, James."

Oh, no. Janet's expression finally settled to kind of a disappointed one.

"- Thanks, Luc'

- Don't blame him."

Lucas quickly gets out of the kitchen, Janet is still looking at me with the same expression on her face, my heart pinch knowing that I'm the reason for that expression.
