Bucky's POV...

I'd been thinking about Mia lashing out at me a lot more than I'd ever admit to anyone. When she came back toward her room in tears I genuinely was asking if she was okay. She's got a valid reason to be mad at me and I guess I just have to accept that. I hadn't seen her around much since, just once when she was headed on her date with Steve. The thought of the two of them on a date or even just kissing was repulsive to me but Steve's set on her. How does he not see how entirely different they are? I don't even know her and I can tell they're not compatible. He's too nice, too soft. Tonight was another sleepless night and at about one am I headed to the kitchen for a drink. For a second I didn't recognize Mia standing there in a short nightgown. She didn't notice me walking in at first and when she did she gave me a weak half-smile. While I was getting my drink I noticed her nightgown looked like it was made of silk. I wouldn't have pinned her as a pink silk nightgown kind of girl but I wasn't going to complain. She leaned over the counter while she ate something and it gave me a glimpse of her ass. The only light in the room was from the open fridge behind her but it gave enough light for me to make out that there was a tattoo on her hip and ass cheek. I'd noticed she'd had some but I'd never taken the time to truly look. There were flowers and vines but I couldn't make out what kind of flowers. All I knew for sure is seeing the way the tattoo curved with her hips and ass was enough to make my cock twitch. No one in their right mind would say Mia is unattractive but I didn't imagine the smallest thing would turn me on like that. Her ass was perfectly plump which made me want to grab it and find out how perfect her moans sounded. Okay, nope I'm thinking with my dick here and it's going to get me in trouble. I felt like I'd been staring at her ass for hours but it had only been a minute or two since I walked in. "What's got you up so late?" She asked as she turned to face me

"I've just got a lot on my mind and I couldn't sleep. What about you?"

"The same."

I hesitated for a minute trying to decide if I should honor her earlier request or just talk to her. "Did your date not go well?"

She sighed heavily and hopped up onto the counter before she spoke. "It was perfect."

Even though she said it was perfect, her tone didn't back that up. She sounded tortured and guilty. "If it was perfect then you wouldn't be sitting here at one in the morning and you'd say it like you meant it."

"That's the thing, it was perfect. He wore a suit, he brought me white roses, he was a gentleman, dinner was delicious, and he kissed me goodnight."

"But?"

I watched her face as I leaned against the counter across from her with a drink in my hand. She chewed on her bottom lip which seemed to be a nervous habit of hers. "But I hate roses and I hate pretending to be someone I'm not for him. I hate being kissed like that." Her voice was soft and I understood that it was guilt in her voice, guilt, and sadness

"Like what?"

"So gently, the way Steve Rogers kisses girls like they're breakable or fragile."

"What's so wrong with roses?"

"There are so many beautiful flowers out there but everyone picks roses. They're a stuck-up person's flower and they wilt quickly. I'd rather have wildflowers or almost any other flower than a rose."

"I guess that makes sense."

"I'm sorry, you don't want to hear about my issues or how I'm so ungrateful that I'm complaining about him giving me roses and treating me kindly."

"It's okay, I don't mind hearing how for once someone didn't swoon for Steve." I chuckled softly knowing this was rare for Steve

She flashed me a smile, a real smile and for a moment I thought I felt my heart stop as she looked at me. Her little laugh that followed my comment was sweet and warm, it was genuine. The sound of it made me melt and it made me want to hear it again. "I'm sorry about being so harsh to you the other night, I was upset about something else and I took it out on you. You didn't deserve that, even if you are an asshole." The corner of her lip curved slightly up in a smirk as she finished her apology
