I'm not proud of this. I look back on this memory and shudder. Every one of us, no matter how pretty or how perfect you are, has that one memory they wish they could erase entirely. It could be a memory of a person, one who broke your heart or one who passed on. Or it could be an embarrassing moment, one that you aren't particularly proud of.
If you were given that option, to erase a memory...what would you do? Would you take the offer because your couldn't live knowing you did the wrong thing? Or would you pass, because there's nothing worth forgetting? I would probably go with the last choice...because he's not worth forgetting. Because I love him too much to want to forget.
I grabbed Steve's hand and dragged him into the apple store. He was wearing the most dorkish clothes Nat and I could find and I was wearing skinny jeans and a hoodie. My shirt was very revealing, something that I would never wear. It was the perfect disguise. I steered him past the iPads and the music displays to the laptops where I got the USB ready.
"And you sure you're know what your doing?" Steve asks me, half listening and half paying attention to the Music.
"You, sir, insult me...have you not met my brother? There's is not a system out there I can't crack. The only problem is as soon as I plug this in, they know where we are" I say. I feel Steve lean over me and rest one arm on the bench and the other he wraps around my waist, pulling me close.
"How long have we got?" Steve's whisper filled my ear, making it almost impossible to concentrate.
"9 minutes starting now" I plug the USB in and start to do what I do best. But the system was tough.
"Are you in" Steve muttered and I shook my head.
"Whoever created this is smart...they gave it the best protection. I don't think I can do it...in nine minutes. Try half an hour" I mutter back.
"I thought there wasn't a system out there you couldn't hack?" Steve asks.
"Working on it" I mutter angrily typing my commands in faster.
"Can I help you?" Comes a voice. Steve jumps and his hand snaps back to his back pocket. I turn to see one of the apple workers. I emeditaly grab Steve and pull him close.
"That's okay...my fiancé was just helping me with some honeymoon destinations. I can't decide on my own" I say as innocently and as sexily as I can.
"Yeah. We're getting married" Steve says.
"Congratulations. Where are you thinking of going?" The worker asks. Steve quickly glances at the screen before answering.
"New Jersey" he says. I look at the screen, New Jersey was indeed where we needed to go. I quickly let go of Steve and continue my work as Steve tries to get the worker to get lost.
"Oh" says the worker. Clearly New Jersey wasn't ideal for honeymooners. Out of the corner of my eye I could see the worker turning away and I couldn't help but sigh in relief. But then something changes his mind and he turns back. Damn it.
Steve's eyes widen a little. Had our cover just been blown by an apple nerd?! "I have those exact same glasses" he points at Steve's costumed glasses (my idea) and I feel him relax. I roll my eyes...false alarm.
"Wow, you two are practically twins" I mutter sarcastically not taking my eyes off The screen. I can feel Steve let out a sigh of laugher next to me.
"I wish. He's like a specimen. Anyway if you need me, I'm up at the desk...just ask for Eric" he says. I nod and finally after forever he walks away to help another customer. Steve smiles and leans over my shoulder again staring at the screen. I zoom up on the location and Steve gasps.
"What's wrong? Do you know the place?" I ask quickly. We have wasted valuable time and now we only have a few minutes before we're found.
"I used to" he muttered pulling out the USB. "We need to go. They're probably already here" he commanded grabbing my wrist and dragging me from the store. His expression turned fearful. "Two up, two down and two coming at us" he muttered. He then started telling me a plan but we didn't have time.
"Go with it" I said before holding his arm around my shoulders and giggling. The two men passed us and we jogged to the elevator. As I look around I see the same guy that shot me riding the lift in the opposite direction. There was no time to go back. I turned around to face Steve who was looking around the plaza.
"Kiss me" I whisper.
"What?!" He asks a little taken a back.
"Public displays of affection make people very uncomfortable..." I inform him.
"Yeah, they do" he muttered back.
"and there's hydra coming straight at us" I whisper quickly. Steve stands there in shock so I stand on tip toes and press my lips to his. I feel his hand rest loosely on my hip. I grab it and push it down so he's grabbing my butt. We stay like that...locked in each others lips for a few seconds before I pull back. I roll my eyes at Steve's dumb expression and push my way to the bottom floor. I can hear him pushing his way after me.
"Excuse me...sorry...pardon me" he apologises. Finally he manages to catch up to me. "What the hell was that for" he hissed. I smiled smugly.
"We're meant to be engaged. Honestly. Your a very bad actor" I say. Steve wraps his arm around me and pulls me close.
"What's with the...the..." He trailed off. I shrugged.
"You suck at acting...and kissing. You just needed a little push" I said casually.
"But--" he stuttered.
"No time. We need to call Nat and tell her we have a location. Rendezvous back at Sam's" I mutter.
"Already done" Steve said showing me the phone.
See you there
Nat 😉
