A Little Calm...

SMS Casanova

Mama Do - Pixie Lott

When you wake up the next morning, Bucky is already gone. He woke you briefly before he left to say that he was going, so that you wouldn't panic if he wasn't there when you got up.
You can't help but wonder what it is he has planned for tonight. After he called you the night you were packing and you went back through to see Alice, she told you that he instructed her to pack you a dress. He needed you to leave the room so that she could stash it. Weirdly, it was in a black clothes bag with a note that said 'Do Not Open Until Told To', hence why she looked so suspicious.

You spend the day anxiously waiting to hear from him. You mainly just try to occupy yourself with the TV or painting your nails. Just something to try and help you relax.

It gets round to 17:00 when you get your first message.

Bucky - Okay, step one: Go downstairs. Don't worry about changing.

You don't answer until you go down to find a delivery guy waiting for you.

Delivery guy
"I have a delivery for y/n."

You walk over and accept the brown paper bag with and Italian name neatly printed in calligraphy on the side. Before you can even ask about payment, he turns around and walks out the doors. Whilst in the lift, you text him back.

Y/n - Very smooth Casanova, my favourite take out. Thank you xx

When you get upstairs, you unpack the bag to find that it's dinner for two. You assumed that he would be gone for a bit longer and so wouldn't be joining you. Before you can message him to ask, you hear the lift ping from around the corner. You call out as you get two plates from the cupboard.

Y/n
"I thought you'd be out for a bit longer?"

Before anyone comes round the corner, your phone buzzes.

Bucky - Step two: go greet your guest.

Confused, you turn round the corner to see Alice standing with arms open for a hug. You give a loud squeal and tackle her, causing her to almost fall over.

Y/n
"What the hell are you doing here??"

Alice
"Well I've been meaning to go on a vacation, and when you said about this, and Bucky asked for my help, I offered my services for further employment."

You pull away and guide her through to the kitchen where your dinner is waiting.

Alice
"You didn't think I was gonna let you get ready on your own did you?"

You can't even be offended due to your shock. After you've both eaten, you sit talking with a cup of tea. At around 18:30, you get another message.

Bucky - Step three: you may now open the bag. Alice knows what to do.

Alice looks at you with an excited grin. Before you can say anything, she drags you up and throws a towel at you, telling you to get washed up.
