Chapter 29

8:14 AM

Steve knew this must be a really long day for him. Steve's father, General Joseph Rogers, summoned his only son to their penthouse suite on the Upper East Side. Steve wasn't eager to meet with his father at all because he knew that, the only thing that his father would like to talk to him was that he found him a very nice girl who has lots of connections in Washington.

Yeah, Steve hates it when he did that. But he always turned all of his date into a one night stand which also make his dad furious every time.

"Son! This is a list of eligible women for you." The General said and handed Steve a long list of names.

"List of what, Dad?" He asked annoyingly, not even paid a slight attention to the list.

"Pick one of them as your tonight date to me and your mother's annual fundraiser in Washington"

"Dad, I don't need any of this stupid girls"

"Watch your mouth, Steven. Some of them already had two or three degrees from Ivy League university at the same age as you"

"I don't care, Dad. I don't know them. I won't take them with me and I won't go to your stupid party too"

"It's a fundraiser for the veteran so show some respect, son!"

"I'm sorry, dad" He said sarcastically "But I will bring my own date or not bring anyone with me if you want me to be there"

"You're the most stubborn son a father could have"

"Sorry again for the disappointment"

Steve walked into the elevator, didn't even say goodbye to his father. He needed to find a date real quick before his father arranged him with some stupid senator's daughter. Think, Rogers, Think!. Who is the most suitable choice to be your date tonight?

He didn't want to take any of his long list of one night stands with him. His female friends weren't an option. But the only name that came out on top of everyone else, she seemed to be the most logical and perfect choice of them all.

Steve banged on the door really hard to show some sense of urgency. He went straight to this room when he got back to the university.

The door swung opened and Natasha frowned at him.

"Better be good, Rogers" She warned.

"I need a favor" He said "Big time favor"

"What kind of favor?"

"Pretend to be my date for tonight and perhaps be my girlfriend if it's gone too far"

"Do you realize you ask a gigantic favor from me?"

"I know" He replied "You gonna help me or not?"

"No"

"Nat, please. My dad tries to find me a girlfriend and stuff"

"Hundred times more no" She made a gross face and about to close the door in his face but he blocked it.

"Natasha, I'm being super serious right now" He said "Don't make me drop on my knee and beg you"

"You are really desperate"

"I am"

"Fine"

He hugged her "Great! Thanks so much, my dear little red. Go dress up, we will go shopping"

They were in his car. Steve was making a call to someone called Stefano and spoke fluently in Italian. He drove to his penthouse suite in the Upper East Side. When they arrived at his penthouse, there are at least three racks of evening gown and two racks of tuxedo.
