My Little Dove

Chapter 23

Bucky's POV:

"Angel? If you're getting this, please come back home. You can come home and scream at me, punch me, tell me you hate me. I just need you to come home." I sniffle

I called her 32 times, texted 78. I went to her apartment 3 separate times. Nothing. Monica called. Yelena too. Nothing.

I was drinking water like shots. I wanted to get drunk, but it affected my performance and I had a game soon.

"Tony, I need you to come over"

"What why? Me and Lisa were about to fu-"

"Please? It's about, Dove"

He takes a deep sigh before answering. "Fine, you owe me, boy"

~

He walks in. He was about to fuss until he noticed that I was clearly upset by something.

"What?"

"Dove left, Tony"

"What...?"

"She left me this letter after we had sex"

"Oh! So you get sex, but when I want some I get a call about you being a little piss baby?"

"Tony, you're making it worse"

He swats his hand and we sit on the couch.

I tell him what happened.

~

"Out of her window? That's fucked"

"Tony, shut up"

"And you had sex 3 times?"

"Yeah"

"Enough time to get attached"

"You believe in soul ties?"

"Do. And let me tell you, ya ass is tied to a whole lotta people"

I laugh and wipe away the tears.

"You fell in love with her. I told you not to"

"You think I did that on purpose?"

"Show up to her work tomorrow, talk to her. If she wants nothing to do with you, leave it at that"

I sigh and nod. "Ok"

"Now, don't call me unless you're dead and I'm gonna go get laid by my wife"

"Tell Lisa I said hello"

"You know she likes you too much"

"She'll be thinking about me" I wink

"You know what you little bastard? At least I have a woman. That's more than you can say. Your girl jumped out of a window to leave you"

"That's low" I laugh

~

I wake up at 5 am and get dressed. I drive to the cafe.

6:30, 7:30, 8:30, and 10. All the times she worked at the cafe. At 10, she was there

I watch her walk into the coffee shop. I put on my hat, hoodie, and sunglasses and follow her.

I wait until she puts on her little apron and I walk up to the counter.

"Can I get a medium black coffee?" I was really hoping she wouldn't recognize my voice.

"Yeah, hold on just one second" She sounded all cheery. I watch her get a cup and stand Infront of me.

"And your name?" She looks up at me for the first time since I made it in. Her smile faded and her eyes softened. "Bucky...what are you doing here?"
