Stars and Stripes: Amelia Rose Rogers

Kissing in the rain

I dragged her into our tent “I have the perfect dress for you” I say as kneeling down pulling a red knee length v neck that would fit her in all the right places from my foot locker. “perfect” I say holding it up to the light. “Mia I can’t take that” she says stubbornly causing me to roll my eyes. “you’re only borrowing it, and I have other dresses. now go put it on” I say with a smile as I hand her the dress placing my hands on her shoulders turning her around giving her a nudge. I shake my head in amusement as I turn around grabbing my dress a navy-blue, mid length sleeve, low cleavage, and goes to my knees one of my favorite dresses. I undo my uniform pulling it off my shoulders and slide the dress on the fabric warm against my skin. I zip up my dress as Peggy walks over looking like my future sister-in-law, I’m happy for my brother and her but one of them needs to make a move already. “You know I'm already planning your wedding” I say sitting down to put my makeup on. Smiling widely as she says nothing and just rolls her eyes hiding the smile on her face “I mean it you two burn the air with tension” I say turning my head to look at her seeing her put on her signature lipstick. A couple minutes later we finish getting ready and make it to the bar. Walking in the door the noise quiets down soldiers staring at us looking us up and down I roll my eyes slightly but smile when I see James “Captain.” Peggy says walking up to him and Steve stands up “Agent Carter.” Steve says trying not to stare. “Ma’am.” James says and I walk up to him “James” I say and he smiles and I watch him look over me. “See something you like sweetheart?” I ask with a hint of teasing in my voice my eyes trailing over him. God that uniform is going to be the death of me “I enjoy what I'm seeing very much” he says placing his hands on my hips sending a shiver down my spine like he does every time “Howard’s got some equipment for you to try. Tomorrow morning?” Peggy says looking at Steve “That sounds fine.” The Invaders start singing again. Terribly.  “yeah, I'll be there too” I say faking being annoyed. Turning leaning my back against James. “Well, I see your crack squad is prepping for duty.” Peggy says looking over at the group Steve put on the team “You don’t like music?” James says looking over at her pulling me more against his chest “I do, actually.” She says eyes on Steve and I smirk slightly “I may even, when this is all over, go dancing.” She continues and I tap James’s arm three times signaling we’re talking about this later. James just grins and nods at the dance floor. “Then what are you waiting for?” He asks curious I knew the answer to that they are in love and don’t what to admit it “The right partner.” She says and smiles at Steve before heading out. Ok know I can freak out it’s like a 30s romcom “08:00, Captain. Maybe, you were right Miss rogers” she says before she turns the corner. “Right about what exactly Rosie?” James says leaning forward to look at my face. “Come on” I say and grab his hand walking out the door of the bar “what are we doing out here?” he asks with an eyebrow raised. I smile and look in his eyes “she’s in love with Steve and I called it and Steve doesn’t know and now I'm acting like a teen girl reading a romance novel” I say a little too fast and he grabs my hand slowing me down like he does when I'm talking to fast. The butterflies rising in my stomach again. I stopped talking and looked in those steel blue eyes. The sound of rain starting to falls around pouring down over the overhang. I back up pulling him with me letting go when we get to the edge holding my arms out to the side backing up into the rain my hair and clothes becoming soaking wet spinning slowly tilting my head back letting the rain hit my face I laugh slightly. And look back at James at the edge of the building standing under the overhang just out of reach of the rain “Having fun out there?” He asks with a smirk “Yep!” I say happily with a smile “come join me” I say as I stop spinning and offer him my hand smiling at him expectantly “Doll, you’re soaking” he says not taking the hand I offer him “So? come on” I say as I take a step towards him “I want you to dance with me” I say taking his hand in mine he sighs “You’re going to be the death of me, you know that right?” he says “At least you’ll die with a smile” I say teasing him as he gives in walking out into the rain with me. The drops running down his face “You’re ridiculous” he says trying to hide his smile “You love me that way James” I say softly with a smile and teasing slightly, yes today wasn’t the best but I had him and he had me I watch as he rolls his eyes jokingly and pulls me closer, putting one hand on my waist “Against my better judgement, I do” he says with a smirk as we dance together swaying back and forth. The song –The Very Thought Of You- Billie Holiday can be heard from the bar. the rain getting heavier, running down both of us making my hair stick to my face and make our clothes stick to us. I look down at his shirt sticking to him outlining every muscle and contour of his body. “See something you like Rose” he says with a grin. “it’s distracting” I say back as he pulls me flush against him. He looks down at me and I can’t help but smile more. James shakes his head slowly unable to have any annoyance left. He’s hopelessly smitten with me. “I don’t know how you do it, Doll” he mumbles, leaning down and resting his forehead against mine. “Do what exactly?” I ask looking in his ocean blue eyes “make me fall harder everyday” he says eyes full of affection as he brushes a wet strand of hair away from my face and cups my cheek gently making me feel butterflies. I lean in closer and I can feel his heart rate speed up and the butterflies form in his stomach his hand lifting to the back of my neck and rest there his fingers light tracing small circles. our breath mixing with each other as the rain continues to fall down my gaze drafting down to his lips as they part slightly. “Rose...” he whispers, his voice sounding strained. “Yeah...” I whisper back. My arms wrapping around his neck his hand slides for the back of my neck into my hair tangling in the wet strands. “Marry me” he says in almost a whisper “what?” I ask hoping I heard him right “We joke about it all the time let's make it real” he says looking in my eyes “promise me one thing” I say looking in his eyes “anything” he says as his breath “promise to never leave me” I say looking at him I don’t think I couldn’t lose him again. “Never you’re stuck with me rose” he says “then I guess we’re getting married” I say and he lifts me up by my waist pinning me and sitting me down back down a huge smile on his face as he pulls me into a kiss. I slide my arms around his neck. As his hand slides to the back of head again.
