Scarlet Widow • Secret Love

Chapter 6

Natasha's PoV:

Carol woke me up by moving slightly next to me and groaning slightly. I turned to her and opened my eyes.

In front of me lay a completely naked Carol, who looked very sleepy. I quickly realized that I had nothing on either and immediately covered my breasts with the blanket.

"Hey" I mumbled and wrapped myself in the blanket. I ran to my closet and pulled out a pair of sweatpants and a tummy free t-shirt.

"I'm going to the bathroom for a minute" I said and disappeared into my bathroom.

I turned on the shower and waited for the water to get warm. I showered off and the water soothed me. I washed my hair and immediately wrapped it in a towel as I left the shower. I wrapped myself in a second towel. I dried my hair with a hair dryer and put on my clothes. Then I left the bathroom again and looked at my bed.

It was empty and Carol just came into the room.

"Hey," she said, looking nervously at her fingers.

"Maybe we should talk about what happened yesterday..." I sat down on the edge of the bed and motioned for her to sit down.

"I'm sorry" Carol began but I interrupted her.

"No. It's my fault, I didn't stop. I probably should have" I explained and shook my head.

"Should we just try to forget about it?" she suggested and I looked at her in surprise.

"Can you?" asked I.

"I- I can try" she mumbled and I smiled slightly.

"If you can it might be better for both of us." I put a hand on her shoulder and she looked at me anxiously.

"What if I can't do it,Natasha?"

"We'll figure that out then" I whispered and took my hand off her shoulder again.

"Okay..." she nodded, "but we'll still be friends right?"

"Yes, of course" I promised.

"Can we maybe work out a little later?" She stood up and walked towards the door.

"Yeah sure" I agreed. "At 12am?"

She nodded, smiled and left the room.

I stayed sitting on the bed for a moment before going to the kitchen. It was already 11am, so I decided to make myself a small breakfast and then go to the training room already. I quickly made myself a smoothie and a yogurt with some berries. I ate the yogurt and drank the smoothie on the way to the training room.

Carols PoV:

I quickly left Natasha's room and went to mine. I also showered and put on my workout clothes. A look at the clock told me that I still had half an hour until we had an appointment. Since I didn't want to be late in any case, I already made my way to the training room.

When I entered the room I froze. Natasha had probably had the same idea and was already training. She was practicing a few kicks on one of the dummies and looked damn good doing it. Of course I had seen Natasha practicing before, but today it was different. I watched her more closely and somehow I noticed her curves more. She was hot, no question, but I felt terrible looking at her like that and feeling her mentally undress and the wetness forming between my legs. I quickly averted my gaze and stopped for a moment before walking over to her.
