The rest of your weekend was mostly quiet. You continued to receive text messages from Bucky asking you everything under the sun, like what your favorite color is, and what your favorite song is. He even asked you what your ideal first date would be, and you had to think about that for a while. For someone that was just learning how to use a cell phone, at least according to him, he was doing quite well. He even sent you a picture of his cat Alpine, a beautiful white cat that looked majestic on his shoulder. He told you about how Alpine was his service animal, and that both Sam and Steve had picked him out for him. He seemed pretty proud of his kitty. You in turn of course sent him pictures of Melody and he said he couldn't wait for a kitty date.
Monday morning you woke up at five in the morning since Steve always starts his day at seven. You dressed in a pair of nude thigh highs, a black pencil skirt that went three quarters of the way to your knees, a white blouse, a dusty rose suit jacket, and black kitten heels. You took the time to put your hair up in a bun, and some makeup with pink lipgloss. You grabbed your messenger bag and went to the cafeteria to load up on enough food to last until suppertime, an egg sandwich and a fruit platter. Most of the tables were empty so you sat down to eat your breakfast before making your way to Compound A through the employee entrances and sitting in your office. You took out your laptop and Bucky's report and started getting to work.Steve came in at exactly seven in the morning, wearing his light blue jeans and a white t-shirt, and paused beside your desk while you were typing away.
"Morning boss" you looked up and smiled at him.
"Good morning, you clocked in earlier than usual" he commented.
"I had something to work on before you started. You have no meetings today, but you do have a mission tomorrow morning and it should be an overnight mission. I'll stay until six, or do you need me to stay later?" you asked with a bright smile on your face.
"No, five is fine. No one important will call after then" he gave a soft smile. "I didn't know you were missing out on the hot meals at the cafeteria. From now on you can start at nine and finish at five" he said with hesitation. Your eyes grew wide in surprise. You had agreed to be on call anytime you were needed.
"No way Steve! The contract says that I work the same hours you work" you pointed out.
"Okay, but if I'm on a mission you only work nine to five" he faltered a bit. "And I get to send you home early if I want to," he added. "And you start at nine," he said with flourish.
"Seven and only if I don't have any other work to do" you said.
"Eight, and Bucky's reports don't count" he held out his hand to shake on it.
"Am I still on call though?" you asked, hesitating to shake his hand.
"Yeah, I am still going to rely on you a lot" he said a little sheepishly and you shook his hand. "Good, it starts tomorrow" he said and went into his office.
"Hey!" you called at his back but you heard him chuckling to himself, and he shut the door. You mumbled about he was being pushy but you were secretly glad. Now you could have hot food in the morning, which was something you missed over the last month. You wondered if Bucky had something to do with the newest change, but dismissed it.
Around eight, Steve came out of his office and headed down to have his breakfast with the team. You had all his mealtimes scheduled into his calendar at Tony's insistence, Steve if anything was always punctual. You took out one of your sandwiches and a bottle of water and took a minute to have a snack and a drink. Once you were done, you cleaned up and you went back to work. Bucky's mission reports were usually over a hundred pages and incredibly detailed. You had to type them out, and then you did the same thing for him that you would do for Steve. You would fill out the numerous forms for not only the Avengers team, but for Shield as well. Then you would take the entire team's reports and send them in an email to Steve, Tony and Fury. A lot of the time you also had to proofread all of the documents to make sure there were no errors or inconsistencies before it was submitted.When Steve walked by you again, he knocked on your desk twice as he went by and you looked at him surprised and he pointed at the door where Bucky was standing with a bouquet of pink tulips in a glass vase, in his black jeans and a black t-shirt that showcased his vibranium arm. You sucked in a breath, surprised to see how handsome he looked. You weren't sure you would get used to how much this man made your wolf side want to go into heat just for him.
"Good morning beautiful" he walked into the room. "I thought I'd say it in person" he gave that sexy grin and came more into the room, offering the flowers. You stood up and accepted them, and you almost missed his eyes raking up and down your form. "These are for you, to liven up your desk a little" he licked his lips.
"They are beautiful, Bucky. Thank you so much. I don't know what to say" you were in shock.
"You don't have to say anything. It should be me thanking you for always doing my reports for me" he came in closer while you set the flowers down on the desk. "I also got you something else" he said, bringing his other hand out from behind his back and it was a large iced coffee. You were touched he remembered you had said you liked iced coffee.
"Oh I need to pay you back for this" you said, feeling a little flustered.
"You're about to," he said, pulling one of the chairs from the corner of the room and bringing it to your desk right beside you. You sat down and gave him your full attention. "Show me how to use this" Bucky pulled out his phone.
"You already have the hang of it" you giggled. "You've been texting me for two days" you reminded him.
"I want to do more with it. Pretty please" he gave you his puppy eyes and you couldn't help yourself. You took his phone and started going through to see what he had. It was almost bare of apps, and he had just the Avengers team on his contacts list besides you. You saw he was on Webex with the team, it was the same chat device that you had installed on your computer. You showed him how to look people up and send instant messages. His first message was to Steve and all he said was "Punk". He insisted that you showed him Kindle, so you went through the process of showing him what Amazon was, and then how to download the Kindle app. He took subscriptions right away, inputting his credit card info on his own. He asked how to know what books you were reading and you told him about Goodreads with a flush on your face. He asked you to download that as well and he followed you on it and you followed him back. Before you knew it, it was lunch. Steve came out and told Bucky it was break time and the two of them left. You took out another sandwich and sipped on your coffee and munched away before going back to Bucky's report.
After lunch, Bucky went into Steve's office and they closed the doors. You were busy typing away and answering the phone. Every once in a while you would look at the flowers and give a soft smile. You couldn't help but marvel at how sweet Bucky is towards you.
By the end of the day, Steve and Bukcy had gone into Bucky's office that was across behind you and they started getting him set up, and cleaning it up. You were surprised that they really were going to put his office to use. You finished Bucky's report and sent all the files to Steve, Tony, and Fury after proofreading everyone and making sure all the documents were filled out correctly.
"Okay, Y/N" Steve came out of Bucky's office, looking pointedly at his watch.
"Yes?" you asked expectantly.
"You're free to go" Steve gave a small smile. "You already sent the reports and I'm unplugging that phone. It's giving me a headache" he said.
"You know you can't do that" you rolled your eyes.
"You're right, I can't. But Tony's assistant is going to start taking over the incoming calls for anything except Fury. I talked to Tony about it, and you take on most of the team's reports and forms. He agreed to have everything forwarded" he told you, you couldn't help but be in shock at the news. "That starts tomorrow as well," he grinned.
"This is a suspicious amount of change. Are you looking to fire me?" you asked, a little concerned.
"God, no!" he said in surprise. "You deserve some extra time for yourself too," he said, putting his hands in his pockets. "You're the best assistant I could have ever asked for."
"Okay, good. Because I'd be inconsolable. I love this job" you said with a smile toying at your lips.
"We are definitely not firing you. I wish I could hire two more of you" he chuckled.
"Alright, don't forget supper with the team" you started packing up, a little excited you would be getting home early tonight for the hot food and some extra reading done.
"I won't, you have it programmed on my phone" he chuckled.
"Oh, hey!" Bucky came out of the office, and looked at you before licking his lips.
"Hey yourself" you giggled as you continued packing up.
"Leaving early?" he asked conversationally and Steve chuckled and patted him on the back.
"Steve said I was done for the day and he's the boss" you nodded.
"At least you'll make it for the hot food for supper then" he gave a crooked smile.
"Yeah, I guess so. More reading too" you said, your eyes alight at the prospect.
"I'm going to start reading on the Kindle tonight" he told you, as he started closing the distance between the two of you. His eyes drifted to your legs at the bottom of your skirt and you looked down to see that the garter belt had released one side.
"Oh, excuse me" you said and pulled up the thigh high back under your skirt and snapped the garter into place. "That could have been even more embarrassing than it already is" you said with flushed cheeks. Bucky's eyes were dilated and he swallowed. He put his hands into his pockets
"I'll be in my office" Steve said with flushed cheeks.
"Have a good night" you beamed. He nodded and went into his office and shut the door.
Bucky took a few more steps towards you, reaching out and touching your arm with his right hand, then brought his hand slowly down to your hand and he held it softly.
"I'll text you later?" he asked in a whisper.
"I hope you do" you flashed a smile. He started leaning in and then stopped himself and you thought for a second that he was thinking about kissing you. You were left a little disappointed when he took a step back. "Have a good night, Bucky" you squeezed his hand and left the office, going out the employees entrance again.
