Natasha Romanoff one shots

Prince Charming 3

Your pov:

You have spent more than two days avoiding the woman who was now staying in the royal palace since your father thought it was a good idea. Your mother was obviously appalled by the idea however she couldn't do anything but scowl at the blonde woman.

You of course, were still oblivious to the current feelings you had around the woman. You had no clue why she intrigued you so much, why she made you feel this way. You don't even know how to explain the feeling but all you know is that it was different from how suitors made you feel. Way different.

You scribbled in your journal for the umpteenth time before your gaze drifted outside to the royal garden. You stood up, moving away from your desk before standing by the window to glance outside where you saw none other than the woman you had been avoiding for the past two days.

In front of her, stood two of the men your father was in business with. It seemed as though they were having a serious discussion, perhaps about the future of the business or something along those lines. You become intrigued with the way the woman conducted herself around men. She's not scared or submissive, the way women should normally be around men. Hell she seemed to be the more dominant one out of all those men, the one who held the reigns. She held her head up high, legs crossed as she attentively listened to the men in front of her speak.

You watched as her jaw flexed whenever she said something  or the way her fingers would move around whenever she gave hand gestures when needed. You wondered how she was able to be so... free, so uncaring about what others would say or think about her, so nonchalant about everything.

The blonde woman turns her head before her eyes meet yours and your heart beats, and it begins to beat even faster once she gives you a bright smile. You move away from the window, hiding yourself behind the curtains as an annoyed sigh escapes your lips. This was ridiculous.

"Princess, I see you've been avoiding me." You tense up as you hear the familiar sultry voice. Slowly, you turn around to face Ms Romanoff.
"Oh Ms Romanoff, I assure you I have not been avoiding you."
"Really?" She asks and you nod your head, breath hitching slightly as she walks closer to you.
"Mind if I sit here then?"
"Um no of course not, go right ahead." She places herself on the bench before looking down at you as you continue to plant.

Natasha had many questions swirling around in her mind but she pushed it aside, rather deciding to enjoy the view you were giving her as you refreshed the garden's seed bed. Natasha's eyes scanned over your frame and she looked away, feeling shameful that she was thinking about the princess the way she currently was.

You glanced up at Natasha with an unreadable expression and she tilts her head.
"Have I done something to offend you?" She asks and you pat your hands before standing up.
"Of course not Ms Romanoff-"
"Please, feel free to call me Natasha."
"I don't think my mother would be pleased to hear that."
"Well is she here right now?" She asks with an arched brow and you bow your head bashfully.
"Well no she's not... therefore I suppose there's nothing wrong with me calling you by your first name."

She hums, pleased with your decision and you only look at the blonde woman with curiosity, before moving to grab a packet of seeds. You continue to plant in silence, but you can feel the woman's eyes on you, which doesn't ease the growing feeling inside of you.
"Have you always enjoyed gardening?"
"Well yes, I enjoy nurturing these plants and giving them life. Besides, growing your own fruits and vegetables is better right?" She hums, a small smile playing on her lips as she continues to listen to you.

"It's also nice to have control over something rather than being the one controlled by something...Or someone." The last part was whispered but Natasha heard it and just when she was about to react, you changed the topic.
"Do you have any hobbies?"
"Well I do enjoy reading."
"Who doesn't." You remark with a smile and she chuckles.
