Labyrinth

Chapter 20: ...it was Maroon

Chapter 20 Bucky Pov

I sit in the Livingroom with Steve and Sam and listen to them argue about whether or not Die hard is a Christmas movie. Sam argues it is. but Steve is old school. He says its not. it's all redundant considering we were supposed to be watching Terminator. Tony called me the term earlier, so sam. thought it would be best for us to watch the movie so I can understand Tonys insults better. But I cant concentrate on the discussion or the movie. For the past 5 minutes, I've been busy watching Loki instead.

I watched him get off the elevator and walk straight to Calis room. then I watch him charm his way inside and shut the door with a loud snap. It momentarily caught the attention of Steve and Sam before they went back to arguing. Then when they were finally done and just decided to agree to disagree, they put on the movie. I tried my best to pay attention to the first 30 minutes of the movie, but I couldn't take my eyes off her door. what are they doing in there?

I know they have history. A really long history. They've known each other for over a thousand years. I try not to let my mind go there. She is a beautiful single woman. she doesn't belong to me. but my thoughts cant help but think about him touching her, kissing her, making love to her. I groan as I place my head in my hands.

"You good, man? this isn't too scary for you?" Sam asks and I can't tell if he's messing with me or if he's serious.

I look up and glare at him and when I see the smile plastered on his face, I receive my answer. Steve says, "I think he's more interested in what's going on in a certain goddess bedroom."

I scowl. "no I don't. I'm just... not feeling well."

Sam teases, "feeling lovesick?"

"shut up."

Steve says, "just tell her you like her."

I make a face at him. I'm about to say I don't when I hear her door slams, and a very murderous Loki walks out into the open. Takes the stairs to the upper level and goes to his room and slams his door. sam. laughs, "seems somebody else is feeling a little lovesick."

My chest feels lighter knowing that things didn't go his way. I pick up the bowl of popcorn and tell sam. to turn the movie back on. I'm so happy right now, I don't even care tony basically called me a murderous robot.

After the first movie ends, Steve and Sam decides to call it a night. I decide to stay up and watch part 2 and 3. From what Sam says, the terminator gets reprogrammed and tries to save the target in the other movies. Maybe Tonys insult wasn't what I thought it was.

I sit in the dark living room with only the light of the Tv. every now and then I peak down the corridor towards Calis room. I don't expect to see her. just knowing she is there and not locked away like an animal is all need right now. the movie is getting good. the terminator and John Connor just broke his mother out of an insane asylum. I don't know why, but I cant help but think about Cali. Just like Sarah conner, everyone thought she was insane. The only one that believed her to be innocent and of sound and mind was her son and the terminator. I lean in and focus on the movie as the trio work together. I jump out of my skin when I feel a body appear out of nowhere and plop down on the couch next to me. I look over at Cali who picks up a fist full of popcorn and shoves it into her mouth and says, "I love this movie. Rise of the machines is my favorite." she offers me some popcorn from her bowl. Its still warm. I look behind me and then back at her. I was so into the movie; I didn't hear or see her.

I take the bowl and eat a few before she shoves her hand in the bowl again. she says, "Sarah conner is so bad ass."

I spend the rest of the night watching her watch the movie. Every now and then she would tap me or put her hands on my leg or shoulder as she give me her opinion on a scene or to alert me to a good part of the movie. When the movie ends, she turns her entire body towards me and ask, "up for part 3?"
