Pumpkin Spice ⭐

21 - Set Up

It was the big day! Bucky and Nat's wedding. I was so excited the big day was here.

After many arguments with John and a huge discussion with Nat and Bucky. The pumpkin patch would still be open, but we would close off all entrances to the barn. I wanted to close down the patch, but John refused.

The crew I hired to set up was helping me get table coverings on and get the aisle set up Nat would be walking down.

Nat and her bridesmaids were getting ready at her place. Steve, Bucky and the other groomsmen were getting ready at Steve's.

Steve and I being back together was one of the best decisions I made. He was working at the patch, and I had never felt safer. He said he was always watching me even when I didn't see him. I stopped at looked around.

"Everything is looking great guys." I said smiling and walked out the barn door running directly into John who was walking into the barn.

"What's the rush?" John asked as I pushed past him.

"I have to go get those pumpkins I set off to the side." I said and he joined me and started helping me father them.

"Why are you helping all of the sudden? You hated this wedding." I admitted.

"Yeah, I did until I saw the money this wedding was bringing in for the patch." John said and I shook my head.

"Money comes in and then some goes out John. Have to have to workers and the services from the wedding." I said and he groaned.

"I know but still maybe we should start doing weddings again." John said as we walked back into the barn with the pumpkins.

"Whatever John." I was annoyed. I had been saying this but he had to make it his idea. He had to be the one to come up with it. I went to walk away but John grabbed my arm pulling me back to him.

"Don't get fucking cocky Autumn." John gritted at me.

"HEY!" I heard someone yell from the door of the barn. John and I both looked, and I saw Steve and Bucky standing there. Steve was about to kill John. John scoffed and let my arm go as Steve walked over.

"You okay?" Steve asked and I nodded.

"Yeah, John and I just having a co-owner discussion." I said and he half nodded.

"Yeah, that's exactly what it was." John said.

"Well just keep your hands off of her." Steve said and I just looked at Steve and shook my head.

"Hey, don't start this now please." I begged.

"Yeah, don't start now pretty boy." John said and slightly shoved Steve. I groaned. I then got between them before Steve would do anything. Steve was in his suit to officiate this wedding. I didn't need him getting messed up before it even started. Bucky rushed over and pulled Steve away. I gave Bucky a gracious smile.

"John, just go run the damn shop! You don't want to be here so just fucking go!" I said and shoved him in his chest. He just looked at me, went to say something but let it go and walked away. I placed my hands on my hips watching him walk away and hung my head.

"Hey, you okay?" Steve asked coming over to me and I half nodded. I looked up and saw Bucky standing there as well.

"I'm so sorry that he is trying to ruin all of this. I mean this is your day." I said and Bucky shook his head.

"I won't have you get hurt on my day either. Are you sure you're okay?" Bucky asked I nodded.

"Yeah, I'm fine. He's just wanting to push today for some damn reason. Don't worry I'm going to get Thor and Loki to make sure he stays as far away as possible." I said and Bucky smiled.

"Thank you." Bucky said. I finally looked and smiled noticing the guys were in their tuxes.

"You both look hot!" I shrieked. They started laughing.

"Hey now, I'm almost a married man, don't be hitting on me." Bucky sarcastically said. I turned to look at Steve and walked up to him.

"What about you Rogers? Can I hit on you?" I asked pushing my body flush against his as Bucky walked away not wanting to be a part of the conversation. Steve put his hands on my hips holding me to him as I gripped his lapels.

"You can hit on me all you want." Steve leaned down and passionately kissed me. I moaned in the kiss. Once we broke apart, I groaned and looked down at my attire of jeans and a t-shirt.

"I need to rush home and get ready. You think you can hold down the fort here and not get dirty?" I asked and Steve smiled.

"Or I could go home with you and make sure you're safe..." Steve said, and I laughed.

"You need to control yourself Steven." I said giving him another kiss. "Okay, I will be back in about an hour. By the time I get here Nat and the girls should be getting here as well." I said and Steve nodded. I left the barn and as I headed to my car I ran into Thor.

"Hey, can you keep my brother away from the barn tonight. I just feel like he is going to do something stupid." I said and Thor nodded.

"Yeah, sure. Loki and I will watch." Thor said and I smiled.

"Thanks." I said and headed to my car.

"Aunt Autumn!" I heard Garrett yell as he ran to me.

"What's up buddy? I have to go." I said and he sighed.

"Can I come with you and hang out at Wanda's and ask to stay the night?" He asked. I looked at Garrett and sighed.

"You asked your dad?" I asked and he nodded.

"He said he doesn't care." Garrett said and I nodded as he got in the car, and we headed towards my house.

"Why didn't you want to be home with your dad tonight?" I asked.

"Dad will just end up spending the night drinking, reminiscing about mom and calling her all sorts of names like always when he gets really drunk." Garrett said and I groaned.

"Hey buddy, if it ever gets out of control, you call me. I don't care what time it is." I said and he nodded.

The rest of the ride was silent, and I just got thinking about what Garrett said and I was wondering if I would ever be able to use this to my advantage. John being drunk...a drunk tongue is a loose tongue.
