Two weeks have passed since our date at the Bella Nuova. Two weeks in which I'm slowly going insane because I can't stand this enforced abstinence any longer. But after making a scene because James was so unreasonable, I still have to pull myself together. It can hardly be too long until James is finally completely healed and Bruce gives his medical clearance. As I'm sitting and working in my old room right now, and Bruce suddenly comes in, I'm confused at first. What does Bruce want from me now? He closes the door behind him and comes over to my desk.
Bruce: Hey Vicky, do you have a moment?
Victoria: Sure, what's up?
Bruce: I just wanted to tell you that Bucky's recent exams went great and he's free to do whatever he wants now. Physical exertion is also allowed again.
Victoria: I'm glad to hear that. But why are you telling me this and not him?
Bruce: Well, I thought......
Sheepishly he scratches his head.
Bruce: I figured if I told him first you wouldn't get a chance to make him pay for the pressure of the last few months. The fact that you know but he doesn't can be used to your advantage.
Who would have thought Bruce could be so sneaky. But I like the thought. And I think I know how to make James work up a sweat. I grin at him mischievously.
Victoria: I like your way of thinking. Thanks Bruce, I think I already have an idea.
Bruce grins back, turns and walks back out of the room. On my computer, I close the newspaper article I'm working on and search the internet for romantic restaurants. James, me, a romantic dinner - I'll dress up, of course - and then we could go to our house. All evening I would touch him supposedly by accident - even in more intimate places - and flirt with him like there was no tomorrow. Let's see how long he can pull himself together. I find a restaurant that is on the top floor of a skyscraper with a spectacular view of New York. The reviews and pictures that can be found online are full of praise and apparently, this restaurant is the place to be for a romantic experience. I make an online reservation and am really surprised when I actually get a table for two. OK, that was the first step. In order to be able to tease him from start to finish, I don't want either of us to be distracted by driving a car. So I'm looking online for a driving service that will pick us up here, then take us to the restaurant and then take us home. Perfect. As if the universe wanted me to show James how annoying it is when you have to pull yourself together involuntarily.
Victoria: Jarvis? Where's James?
Jarvis: Mr. Barnes is in the gym with Mr. Willson and Captain Rogers.
Victoria: Thanks Jarvis.
Jarvis: You're welcome Ms. Parker.
In the gym, James sits on one of the benches and watches Steve and Sam train. You can see very clearly that he can't wait to finally be able to train again. I walk over to him and sit on his lap.
Victoria: Hey Baby.
Bucky: Hey doll.
Victoria: What do you think about going out for dinner tonight? You, me, a romantic dinner. What do you say?
As I say this, I wrap my arms around him and hug him.
Bucky: Sounds good. Is there some reason I forgot?
Victoria: Nope. Just the reason I want to spend time with my boyfriend outside of this tower.
Bucky: Ok, sounds good.
I give him a big kiss and get up as if nothing had happened.
Victoria: Good. Can we leave at six?
I'm not even waiting for his answer, I'm sure that he'll be ready to go at 6 p.m. As I walk out, I deliberately sway my hips and can literally feel his gaze piercing me. I'm excited as a little kid when I go back to our room to pick out an outfit for tonight. Then I grab everything I need to get ready and go to my old room. So I can get ready in peace and surprise James. And he will definitely be surprised.
