I love you, but I hated you first

Part 4

I woke up not remembering anything that happened last night. I must've gotten too drunk when last night. I hope I didn't do anything too weird.

I try to remember anything from last night after receiving the whiskey. All I could recall was that I got out of the hot tub around 3:30 and talked to Bucky at the pool.

And of course, speaking of the devil, he walks in.

"Hey Olivia, got you some Advil and water for the hangover,"

"Thanks, I guess? Wait, where are the camera, what's up with your human-like behaviour,"

He sits down on a chair beside my bed and chuckles then says, "You don't remember? I lost the bet."

"What bet?"

"You don't remember? You wanted to see who could do the most embarrassing thing in Sam's room without waking him up, I believe you worded it: Mission keep the birdie in the coma,"

"Ok I think some of this is coming back to me, you lost right, he woke up?"

"Yes I did wake him up, that's why there is a bruise on my thigh,"

He rolls up his shorts to show me a huge bruise that is in the shape of a wing.

"Did Sam really take out his wings just to beat you up,"

"Yeah, he is petty,"

"So what are the terms and conditions of this bet I made," I say in a very formal tone to insinuate the idiocy of this plan

"I have to be nice to you for a week, that means not giving you a dirty look, not having an attitude, and treating you like how anybody else would in the compound and vice versa,"

"wow this bet is not fair whatsoever, why did you agree?"

"I thought that I would win since I have countless years of spy training,"

"Wait how did you manage to wake him up, he is a pretty sound sleeper no?"

"I may or may not have opened his phone and started playing porn hub out loud, I was going to run away and see if he was going to wake up-"

"But he caught you before you could," I say cutting him off

"No, he woke up for no reason and took his wings out to beat me up," he says sarcastically

"Was sarcasm on that list,"

"Nope,"

I let my head fall back on the pillow with a grunt.

Before he could leave I remembered I needed to ask him one more thing, "Bucky hold up, what did I do?"

"You gave him a lap dance,"

My jaw drops when Bucky says it so nonchalantly. Before I could look too stupid with my mouth hung out, I asked a question anyone would ask in that situation.

"How? Wasn't he lying down?"

"I honestly don't know how you were able to figure it out, but you weren't half bad."

He blushes ever so slightly and turns away leaving my room

I sit in my bed trying to process what just happened I gave Sam Wilson a lap dance last night, and Bucky blushed when he recalled the memory. "What the," I say as I get up from my bed, but my headache is killing me, so I took a slug of the water Bucky gave me and swallowed the pill too.

I made the ultimate decision to check my phone and distract myself from what just happened, my phone showed that it was Saturday which meant it was my day off. I did I little victory spin before I realized the Advil had not worked its magic yet and got a throbbing headache again, and because "drunk me" didn't take a shower "hungover me" did instead.

It was noon now, and everyone was on their phone sitting in the living room, "Hey, look who it is. The sleeping beauty. who woke you was it Barnes? oooh tell me you guys kissed,"I rolled my eyes playfully at Stark, "As much as I would love to see you chuckling hens all girly and excited over a boy, I do not have the pleasure to witness it."

"Does that mean what I think it means," Bruce says

"What? ugh no we didn't kiss I have barely even seen him today, he just gave me some Advil for my hangover,"

"Was there a party I wasn't invited to?" Tony asks almost in a panicky tone

"No, Olivia couldn't sleep so we hung out for a bit and she got drunk," Bucky said popping out of his corner

"Isn't Lady Olivia enemies with the son of Barnes?" Thor asks very innocently

"I- umm" I pause, "yeah, yesterday night was weird," I stutter over my words as I pour myself a much-needed glass of water.

"Let's not bother Olivia anymore, you guys heard Buck she has a hangover,"

"Thanks, Steve,"

"Of course," he responded with a smile

I started walking away from where everybody was, but something felt wrong. "I know you're still there Bucky,"

"Alright alright, you caught me," he says as he puts his hands up

Bucky starts walking from what I assume is a very weird standing position leaning on the side of the couch or something. He then walks to the opposite side of me the island blocking us from each other.

"What are you doing here, is hanging out another thing that is a part of the bet. Because if this is," I point towards each other, "I will very willingly take it off the list,"

"No, no I just came here to grab the spare battery pack you left under the sink cabinet the other night,"

"...why would I need batteries,"

We stare at each other not wanting to say what the other person is thinking, after what felt like an eternity of awkward silence Bucky speaks up

"You know what, I will let you figure that out, later!"

I sat there, contemplating if that was the real reason why I needed batteries I couldn't just dwell in this mess anymore, so I went into my room and checked if you know what was dead. To my dismay, it was

"Shit" I mutter under my breath

I start pacing in my room, figuring out what I should do next because quite frankly I have no idea what I am going to do with my life, I did, however, understand why I needed the batteries in the first place, I have been really um, excited? Maybe that's why I gave Sam a lap dance. I can't believe I just got drunk and immediatly told him about what I've been feeling. I want to kill myself

God, what does he think of me, especially this morning when he blushed recalling my lap dance? Does he have feelings for me, is that why he's been acting like a pill the entire week? "This is a nightmare, " I exclaim.

It is about 12:30 pm now, and Nat and I are going grocery shopping in 30 minutes, maybe that'll help take these thoughts out of my head.
