My Little Dove

Chapter 43

Buckle up 😈

Doves POV:

2 weeks. 2 weeks since our little fight. The strain in our relationship was so real. I was back to being shy little Dove.

I didn't talk. I didn't try.

Bucky...I don't even know. I don't see him that often anymore. I knew he still wanted this. Us to work, I mean. Almost every day he made breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Days he didn't, he would order takeout and get something he knew I would like.

When he did this, he would land three knocks on the door and then walk away. That was his thing.

I spent most of my time listening to the orders of Emmanuel. Act colder. Be meaner. He would bring up what he had on Bucky when he knew I was on the brink of telling him to just fuck off.

But, when he wasn't barking like a dog at me, I painted. Most of them were of a broken heart or an ending relationship. I think I was saddest about how I let this all go to waste. Bucky deserved someone who wouldn't do this to him.

I could tell Tony was mad at me too. He would side-eye me when he saw me. I understood, I was hurting someone he cared about.

But, besides me being a train wreck of emotions, today was the day my life changed forever. In a good way or a bad way? I guess saying both would be fair.

It started like every other day. Three knocks.

I waited until I heard his footsteps completely gone before I left my room.

Same with lunch. Same with dinner.

10:00 pm was when I got four knocks.

"Dove, can we talk?"

His voice sounded so foreign. "Umm, okay" I open the door. His hair covered his eyes.

"I can't do this anymore"

Boom. My heart fell to my stomach.

"I can't wake up knowing you're mad at me. Knowing you rather stay in your room all day than look at my face"

I stare at the floor, trying to hide the fact that I was crying.

"If you're not happy with me, I need you to go find someone who will make you happy"

He sniffles and I do too. "Look at me. Come on, look at me, Angel"

My eyes were red and teary.

"I'm so confused. I'm confused about what caused this. I'm confused about why you're so upset. I'm confused about why you're crying right now because you wanted the break to begin with. Baby, help me understand"

I shake my head and wipe my eyes.

"Okay. Well, I'm never gonna stop loving you, Ms. Lavender. I hope one day you can tell me what I did wrong"

That was the last straw. That's what made me leave.

I push past him and put on the first pair of shoes I could put on easily. I didn't care that it was pouring rain. I didn't care that it was pitch black outside. I didn't care that it was cold. I didn't care that I was in a nightgown. I couldn't let myself be okay.

But, little to my knowledge, I was being followed.

It was pouring rain.

He pushes me against the wall and tries to pull up my dress. I push him away and try to run away.

"Come on baby, don't be so stubborn" Emmanuel chuckled.
