the one where sh*t happens

Chapter Twenty-Five

*y/n pov*
"Thanks so much for dinner. I would have paid, but I don't have any money."
"That's fine. Anything to keep you happy."
We were sitting back in Zemo's car after we had dinner at a restaurant.
He was actually a really nice guy, I couldn't see why Bucky didn't like him.
"Yeah you really helped me out back there. Bucky has really been pissing me off."
"Yes. I deeply despise James."
I laughed at him, but he didn't seem to be joking. I shrugged it off for now.
"So how do you know the Winter Soldier?"
"My best friend is an avenger so he knew Captain America, then Steve introduced us."
"But you didn't like him?"
"No I did when I first met him. But ever since we broke up, he's just been a bit of a bitch."
"You dated him?"
"Yeah but that was like five years ago."
"How did you keep that a secret from the rest of the world? The great Winter Soldier dating a random civilian, like you."
"Honestly, I don't know. But it was never really that hard."
He proceeded to ask me all about Bucky, and the time we had spent together. I thought it was a bit odd, but maybe he was just interested like everyone else was. I mean, Buck was extremely famous, I guess.
"So you two are extremely close then?"
"Yeah I suppose so."
"He would do anything to protect you?"
"Yeah. As much as I tell him not to, he likes to make sure I'm ok."
"That's nice."
He started to drive the car.
"Where are we going?" I asked.
"Somewhere private."
We didn't drive very far, just to a nearly abandoned car park by the coast. There were very few cars around.
Zemo undid his seatbelt and leaned over to kiss me.
I returned the favor and climbed over onto his lap.
His hands ran up the back of my dress and he pulled the straps off my shoulders and down my arms.
"Y/n?" Someone approached the car, and I jumped.
I quickly slipped the straps back on and pulled up my dress when I saw Sam walking up to the car.
"Zemo?!" He yelled.
"Uh Sam? What are you doing here?" I asked, still startled.
"I could ask you the same thing!" he paid attention to the position we were in "Get out the damn car!"
I climbed off Zemo and hurriedly got out, adjusting my dress.
"Sam it's not what it looks like" I tried to persuade him.
"It looks like you snuck out of Bucky's apartment to go on a date with Zemo then he drove you here and now you're making out with him!"
"Ok so it's exactly what it looks like."
"I don't see the problem here" Zemo said from the car.
"The problem? The problem is Bucky is going to kill you!" Sam warned him.
"Sam please don't tell him" I cried, but I'm pretty sure he already knew.
"Go get in my car y/n" Sam said tossing me the keys.
I dragged myself to his car and got in the front seat. I watched as Sam said something to Zemo and he drove off.
Sam got back in the car and started driving.
"Call Bucky" he told me.
"Why?"
"To let him know I got you and I'm bringing you back."
"No."
"Y/n!"
"I cant. He broke my phone, remember?"
"Use mine" he gave me his phone, but I didn't call him.
"Ugh. Give it back then."
"Don't call him?"
"Fine."
I handed it back, but he started dialling anyway.
I rolled my eyes and looked out the window.
"Sam?" Bucky sounded out of breath.
"Yeah it's me- what are you doing?"
"I'm busy. With Sharon."
"Oh. OH." Sam realised. He looked at me and I glared at him.
"Uhm. Well I'm on my way back to yours. I found something that belongs to you."
"What is it?"
"Just put some clothes on before I get there."
Sam hung up the phone.
"Sorry" he said.
"It's fine" I lied as I watched trees pass outside.
"Why were you with Zemo?"
"Look, I didn't know Bucky hated him!"
"I didn't say that. Sounds like you did already know."
"He's moving on! Why can't I try?"
"You can. Just not with Zemo."
"You know that just makes me want him more."
"Seriously?"
"Yeah it's like forbidden love" I joked.
"Unbelievable" Sam sighed.
"And plus, it means it will piss Buck off. Which is absolutely perfect."
"That's not going to end well."
"I know. It's his fault for not letting me go."
We spent the rest of the drive in silence.
We got to the door and Sam knocked.
Bucky opened it, wearing just a pair of shorts.
"Y/n, you're okay" he pulled me in for a hug and I frowned.
"Yeah whatever" I pushed past him into the apartment.
"Thanks Sam."
"No problem. But look out for her. I found her with Zemo."
"Sam!" I yelled and glared at him.
"Yeah I know" Bucky said.
"You knew? And you let her go?" Sam sounded shocked.
"Yeah. She wants to be irresponsible and get herself in danger, she can deal with it herself."
Damn Sharon must be really good, I thought as I looked to their bedroom where I assumed she was.
Sam left and Bucky shut the door, then he turned to me.
"Are you okay?"
"I'm fine."
"Good" he walked off to his room.
Wow ok then.
I turned on the TV.
"Turn that off! Go to bed!" Bucky called from the other room.
I rolled my eyes, but did as he said.
I wanted to call Peter, but I didn't have anything to call him with.
I lay back on the bed and stared at the ceiling until I fell asleep.
