Forever and Always

Chapter 9

"Huh, I'll always have a sweet spot for music back in my day but I also like the music you like' he stopped to place a gentle kiss upon my lips, 'It's growing on me" Steve and I couldn't get enough of one another, basking in the days of just him and I. I lay on the armrest of the couch with my legs over him as he leaned on the back of the sofa with one hand on my thigh and the other rubbing up and down my shin. "Music will always live on and whenever you want to listen to music back in your day you just tap this playlist" I showed him a playlist I made for him as he was telling me all the different music he grew up listening to, I labeled it, 'Steve's simpler days'. He smiled at me. "We should work on a playlist for both of us" "I'd like that" I put the song that we danced to when he asked me to his girlfriend on it, "This is the first song going in the playlist" He hummed in agreement as he leaned his head back and closed his eyes. It's so nice seeing him relax, his body having no tension and nothing to stress him out, he's just here feeling peaceful. I stretched a bit letting my back crack as we've been sitting like this for a while. My phone buzzes and I look at it to see a text from Natasha, I chuckle as Steve raises his head to look at me. "What's so funny?" I turn my phone over to him, "the team wants to know if we want to go bowling"

Steve and I got ready for the bowling alley. I wore long black leggings with a light blue tank top, pairing them with vans to match the top. Steve insisted on letting me borrow his brown jacket so I wouldn't get cold. I took it without hesitation because I'd never turn down being snuggled in anything that smelt like him. Steve wore blue jeans with a white shirt under an unbuttoned short sleeve button up shirt that was maroon and rolled up to just below his elbows, he finished his outfit with a pair of white converse. "Are you excited?" Steve chuckled as I tugged him along to the car park. "It's been awhile since we got away from the tower this is going to be so much fun!" We opted on taking Steve's motorcycle since all of us wouldn't fit in one vehicle and again I'd never complain because I get to hold onto my sweets. We were informed that Bruce wasn't going to be joining us because he wanted to work on his research and he says bowling can get competitive. I really wanted him to join us but I'd never force him to do anything he didn't want to.

On a motorcycle it only took about 15 minutes to get to the bowling alley. Steve helped me off and he immediately intertwined our fingers together as we made our way inside an empty bowling alley. "Where is everyone?" We saw our group in the middle at the table in front of the lanes. Each lane had a 'U' shaped booth and a table in the middle, it was a newly renovated bowling alley. "Like it?" Tony stood up with his arms raised seemingly proud. I looked at him confusedly, "I rented out the place for a few hours" my jaw dropped, but I could understand where he was coming from, I don't think we'd be able to play in peace without fans interrupting our whole session. I would never think it was a bad thing but I can see it getting tiring. Turning to Steve I informed him I'd get the shoes, "what size are you?" "10, I'll get the bowling balls" he leaned down to kiss me before I made my way over to the counter. "Hi, can I get a size 8 for women and 10 for men?" The teen behind the counter smiled before turning around and getting the shoes. 'I hope shoe size does correlate with dick size because Steve is...' I licked my lips but was taken out of my trance by the teen handing me the shoes. I walked back to our table and changed into my bowling shoes.

"Is that really necessary?" I look up as I hear Natasha comment. I stood up and laughed, "Steve!" He walked over holding 5 bowling balls in his arms effortlessly and smiled sheepishly, "I didn't know which weight you'd want" He was always so sweet, thinking of every little detail. "Thank you" I grabbed one to help bring them to the ball return. After I put the ball down I turned around and saw Thor sitting at the booth looking lost. Making my way over to him I sat down and put my hand on his forearm, "what's wrong?" he gave out a sigh, "I do not know how to play this game of bowling." I smiled, he was so pure and innocent when it came to simple earth stuff, "It's easy really! You find a ball with a weight that's comfortable to hold and then you throw it to try and hit all the white pins down at the end of the lane. After you watch someone do it, it'll be easy" He put his other hand on mine and squeezed, "thanks for always being so patient with me my Lady" I smiled, "Always"
