The Spark That Never Dies Part: One

Chapter Twenty-Sixxx

After kissing Natasha goodbye and her wishing you good luck, you walked down to the lobby because Sam texted earlier saying he'd be waiting outside by the car.

When you walked through the doors, he started slow clapping, leaning up against the car, and initiating your over dramatic model walk.

"Eh? EH?" You gestured down at yourself, "The kid cleans up nice, am I right?"

"Damn, you actually do." He nodded, clearly impressed.

"And you splurged for the town car?" You nodded, mimicking his reaction to you, "Nice choice."

"Thanks, and we just gotta wait for Maximoff." He nodded, gesturing for you to slide in the back while he sat in the front next to Happy.

He told you he invited Wanda because he wanted you to have some company if he did actually get to talk with the woman tonight and you were happy to have Wanda by your side. She was up front about not being the most experienced when it came to this, but he wasn't about to ask Bucky because he didn't need to add a chiseled specimen in the mix. Your words, definitely not his.

"Happy, my man!" You cheered, patting his shoulder, "Always nice to have you along."

"Figured it'd be safest this way." He shrugged.

"So, Romanoff sick of you and your insomnia yet?" Sam smirked, turning to you while you all waited for Wanda.

"Excuse me? I don't like these accusations."

"You've been spending your nights alone in the living room stuffing your face with stolen Doritos from the kitchen." He pointed out and you puffed out your chest defensively.

"It's not stealing if I bought them."

"You do use cash, right?" He asked after thinking for a moment, "Not the card Fury gave you?"

"Uh..."

"You know he tracks purchases on that, it's a way to keep tabs on everyone."

"What?" You looked to Happy, who nodded in confirmation before you added, "Well, then that dude's gonna be super impressed with my purchase of about a hundred and fifty condoms the other night."

"What're you buying condoms for if you're dating Natasha?" Sam furrowed his eyebrows and Happy raised his, looking into the rearview mirror.

"When a bunch of people get together late at night to swim on the roof, sometimes you want some water balloons," You shrugged, "And the only place around here that was open so late was a drug store."

"When did you do that?" He asked, sounding hurt, "And why the hell didn't you invite me?"

"It was spontaneous." You shrugged again, lifting your palms up.

"Who was there?" He demanded, "I swear to god if you say Barnes..."

"Peter, Wanda, Pietro, and yes, Bucky." You admitted shamefully.

"Parker? Oh, come on!"

"He didn't have school the next day and his aunt said he could stay over."

"Next time, you invite me," He pointed, widening his eyes, "Send a damn text to your friend."

"Promise." You raised your hands in surrender and he nodded, satisfied.

Before he could say anything else, a flash of red caught your eye near the tower, and you looked over to spot Wanda coming out in a red slip dress that had thin straps and a slit reaching her upper thigh.

"Holy shit!" You yelled, cupping your hands around your mouth, "Owh!!! Sexy ladayy!!"

She blushed, waving you off, and speeding up to reach the car before you could embarrass her further.
