His Enchantress (Steve x Reader)

Chapter 32

As soon as Steve was gone, you started to feel anxious in the pit on your stomach. You knew this was part of his job, and it was one of the downsides to the relationship. You went back to work, determined that you would get through the anxiety. He said he would text and send selfies. That would have to do for now. You put on your headphones and got in the zone. Tony was busy with his suits, while Bruce was working at his end of the office.

You worked until lunch, and almost missed it. Tony simply saved your data, and sent you on your way. You saw Jillian but she seemed as bummed out as you were.
"Hey girl" she said as you sat down beside her. She was almost done eating.
"Hey" you sighed. "Tony sent me to lunch" you advised, passing Tibbs his plate of food. "Maybe Tibbs was making too much of a racket" you gave a half smirk.
"It's possible," Jillian smirked. "How are you doing? Because I'm so worried" she told you softly.
"I'm worried sick," you admitted. "He'll be fine, I know that logically. But I'm terrified" you told her.
"He is good old cap. He's been on missions for over a month before. I doubt you have anything to worry about" she reassured you.
"Same to you about Sam" you told her with a small smile.
"He said he would be home in time for his hair appointment" she said hopefully.
"He is very worried about it growing too long," you giggled. "More like he wanted time alone with you."
"He finally admitted that" she flushed. "But we both get paid for it," she added.
"True" you gave a small nod and started eating.
"Word on the street is you had breakfast with the team this morning" she shot you a look, looking for more information.
"I had a late start, and brought breakfast to the office. Only I didn't get around to eating it by the time Steve came in, so Tibbs got a second breakfast and I got a hot meal out of it" you blushed.
"Ooh, so the rumors are true!" she giggled. "The kitchen staff like to talk," she said with a wink.
"So I see," you sighed. "I'm not going to allow it to be a habit," you added quickly.
"We will see" she finished her plate of food. She started telling you about her dates with Sam, and how much of a gentleman he is, but your mind was elsewhere. You nodded at important parts, and you knew you weren't being the best of friends right now. Your mind was on Steve. You hadn't forgotten about him hinting that there were cameras in your suite, which made you a little worried. Not that he was watching you from far away. You were perfectly fine with that. But you didn't want anyone else looking in your rooms either.

The rest of your day was quiet. You were at supper very late, and you were the last one to get some hot food before they closed the hot food part of the cafeteria. Tibbs was not pleased with you one bit, since he didn't like missing his meals. That night when you went to your room you couldn't focus on your reading like you normally did, and sitting outside just made you anxious because you hadn't heard from Steve yet. You started cleaning instead, and did a deep clean of the entire living room and bathroom. You were about to start on the bedrooms, but your phone pinged and you launched yourself at it.

Steve: Stop cleaning, and go lay down. It's late, dove.
You: How do you know I'm cleaning?
Steve: I told you, I'm watching over you :)

You: I miss you already <3
Steve: I miss you too, love of my life <3
You: How is the mission going?
Steve: We are just doing a little recon right now. We are storming the base in the morning. It's not too big, but they have a lot of firepower.
You: OMG, be safe!
Steve: I have you to get home to, of course I'll be safe. Now I want to see that cute little butt headed for bed.
You: Send me a picture?
Steve: Send me one first ;)

You set down your cleaning supplies and took off your top and hid your breasts with your arm and snapped a selfie with a smirk. Your phone dinged and you saw a picture of Steve biting a portion of his bottom lip as though he had seen what you were taking a picture of before you even sent it. You looked around and saw a little circle up in the corner of the room. You blew it a kiss, automatically knowing it is a camera and picked up your shirt and bra before heading into the bedroom.
You got undressed into a pair of fresh panties and a graphic t-shirt before going to bed. Your phone had dinged a few times and you finally picked it up again.
