My Little Dove

Chapter 55

Buckys POV:

it had been 3 years, yes 3 years, since I had seen Dove. I loved her still, but we broke things off after a few months of long distance. We were both busy with our careers and thought that ending things would be better since we thrived with physical touch and overall were just better in person. I checked up on her socials every once and a while. She was insanely successful and looked absolutely stunning. I hadn't touched anyone since her. I couldn't. She was the one I wanted and if I couldn't have her then no one else was for me.

Tony had forced me to come to some dumb event. He wouldn't even tell me the fucking reason why he made me come.

I smooth down my suit. The accumulating crowd made my eyes roll. So did the woman and men that hit on me.

I sip the whiskey and nibble on my lip.

"Why the hell did Tony make me come here?" I mumble to myself

"Another one, Mr. Barnes?"

"No, thank you"

I stand up and walk toward the bathroom.

With my immense focus on the destination, I wasn't out of the trance until someone bumped into someone else and they bumped into me. Spilling wine on my suit.

"Oh! I'm so sorry, I can get you a new suit because of the stain" She mumbled, trying to wipe it out

I look down and focus on the person standing in front of me. She looks up and her eyes focus on mine.

"Bucky" she whispered

My mouth slightly falls open. "Dove"

"I-You look so good" She nods

"Y-Yeah, y... you do t-too" I laugh, scratching the back of my neck.

She rubs the pigment on her lips in and smiles awkwardly. My stutter got increasingly worse as my nerves rose. It always did.

"Do...Do y-you wanna t-t-talk outs...side?"

"Sure" She smiles

We walk out onto the balcony. The moon was full and the night was dark.

"So..." I smile

"So" She laughs

"How have you been?" I grin, as I immediately start to feel comfortable with her.

"I'm okay"

"I'm okay too" I shove my hands in my pocket. "How's your romantic life?" I smirk

"Right into it, huh?" She laughed

"That's who I am" I shrug

"Well, it's none existent"

"Yeah?"

"I haven't been with anyone since you"

"Can't find anyone or don't want to?"

"I don't think anyone beats you" She laughs

"No? I wouldn't have guessed that" I chuckle

"What about you? Mr. Playboy?"

"Just as none existent as yours"

"Wow, how did Jon survive?" She asked, sarcastically

I laugh and bite my lip. "I don't know if Jon wanted to be with anyone else"

She pressed her beautifully plump lips together and glances up at me. That confidence she was wearing looked so damn good.

"I missed you, Angel" I whisper
