Despite what I thought was going to happen Bucky and I don't really talk that often. I wish that we talked more but for some reason we don't. When we do talk our conversation doesn't last long.

The most we talk is when we need to work together, mostly on missions. Even though we don't talk much that doesn't stop us from locking our eyes together.

Despite the fact that we don't talk often I still feel a very strong connection to him. I still find myself looking at him at any point of the day, anywhere in the compound or outside of the compound.

Today, all I wanted was a calm and quiet day. I just wanted to relax and enjoy the last of the summer heat.

So Nat and Wanda had an idea. Their idea was for us and others to go by the lake for the afternoon and relax.

When we got to the lake I stayed on the dock whilst Nat and Wanda as well as others swam in the water. They occasionally got out and jumped back in and would play around like 5 year old's at their first pool party.

I had set down a towel and I relaxed on it as I let the sun hit my skin. I had my eyes closed, avoiding the light of the sun. Well that was until I heard someone call my name from the water.

I opened my eyes and looked at the water to see Nat trying to get my attention. I got up and walked to the edge of the dock so I could hear her over all the loud noises everyone was making.

As I stood there in only a very revealing blue bikini. I heard something behind me but I ignored in. Then suddenly someone grabbed me.

I wasn't scared because I knew who it was, it was Bucky. I knew it was him because I he'd felt one cold and one warm arm.

When he grabbed me I yelped and next thing I knew was that he was jumping into the water with me in his arms. When I hit the water I instantly felt refreshed.

When my senses kicked in I started to swim to the surface. When I got back up to the top the first thing I saw was his blue eyes looking into my eyes.

I smiled at him and we both laughed as we both subconsciously moved closer to each other. I took the chance and I splashed some water in him face.

He looked at me playfully and gave me a wicked smirk. I kept my eyes on him then I felt the water slightly hit me in the face.

This water fight of our went on a little longer. Then entire time not a word was said between us.

Our fighting got interrupted by Nat when she started to pull me away from him and to another part of the water.

For the rest of the day I didn't see, talk or know were he was. It kinda saddened me that I didn't see him again.

But all I could think about was that the one interaction we did have today was enough to have me feeling butterflies in my stomach. It was enough to have me smile and laugh without a second thought.

That night as I tried to sleep I couldn't help but think about him

How the hell does he make me this happy? We don't even talk! So how the hell does he make me this happy with just the smallest things?

Somehow we have this strong connection but we don't know how. But our connection goes from always looking into each others eyes, he's always looking into mine and I'm always looking into his.

His dark brown hair and how I always want to just run my fingers through it. I can't help but always look at him and sometimes I find myself looking at his lips. The his lips are always pink and slightly parted. How you can sometimes see his tongue sticking out from behind his bright white teeth.

And there is just something about his laugh that makes it contagious. Every time he laughs I can't help but laugh and just think of how cute he looks. His laugh is the most comforting thing I've heard.

When he touches me it feels like a million butterflies are swarming in my stomach and I can't stop them. When he looks in my direction or into my eyes I can't help but feel a sense of comfort. When he touches me I just feel safe.

I somehow always find myself looking at him. It doesn't matter where we are I always have my eyes on him. We could be on a mission and he is what I look at.

The way he looks at me like I was the only thing he could see. I didn't understand what I was feeling. After hours of thinking about the blue eyed super soldier I started to drift off to sleep.

As I started to sleep I had an image in my head of us together. We looked happy, we were together and looked in love...

Is this love? Do I love him?

The thought of him and I helped me sleep but he was still all I could think of.
