Chapter 6

* KATE'S POV *

I've stayed with Bucky and Steve for a week now. We've been close friends. Our routine daily was simple -Bucky and Steve would go out after breakfast for work, while I would go search for a job. And when we came back home in the evening, we would have dinner made by me. After that we would get together, laugh and talk about our day. It was simple, but it was perfect for me. We were like a family. I couldn't imagine living without them.

Bucky and Steve was still out at work today. I'd normally be back earlier than them, so I was in charge of cooking -plus I was the only girl there.

I had already set the table neatly and placed the food in the centre. Both men say that my cooking was delicious, but I don't know for sure. I heard the door knob jiggle and I instantly knew it would be Steve. He'd always be back a little earlier than Bucky would.

"Hey Steve" I turned to him and said.

He took out his shoes and placed them on the shoe rack. "Hey Kate" he then took out his coat and placed it on the coat rack.

"How was work today?"

"It was fine. As always. How's the jobs coming?"

"Oh.. No changes. Still can't find one yet.."

"Hey, I bet there plenty of people who wanna hire you. I mean you're great! You're-You're nice, sweet, pretty, hardworking, smart.. You're" he kept on praising me. "You're perfect" he mumbled that part out.

I could actually hear that last bit really well so I asked him "what was that?"

"Oh.. Um. Nothing. It's nothing" he argued.

"Ok.." I decided to leave it.

Suddenly we both heard jiggles coming from the door knob again. Without thinking I said "hey Bucky!"

It was Bucky at the door. "Hey Kate!" And then he looked over to Steve as he took out his shoes "hey Steve!"

"Hey bucks" Steve replied.

"Guys dinners getting cold. We should go eat now" I interrupted.

"Yes we should" Bucky gestured for us to go the the table.

We ate in silence. Normally me and Bucky would be the conversation starters. But this time it felt awkward. Silence then broke because Bucky suddenly spoke up "Steve, it's Saturday. It's the time of the week again, baby!" He was so excited about Saturday. Why was that?

"Oh, Saturday. This will be fun" Steve said in a pleasing smile.

"What's Saturday about?" I questioned.

Both men stopped digging into their food. They looked at each other and then turned to face me at united pace.

"Saturday is a day that we have a little camp out at the hall together. It's kinda like a weekly thing for us. We talk about stuff there. And now that you're here, you have to camp out with us to" Bucky informed me.

"Oh. But isn't it something like a boys night?"

"Nah, it'll be fun. Plus the more the merrier right?"

"Ok, I'll join"

Dinner ended soon. Bucky decided that he would do the camp settings tonight while Steve helped me out with the dishes as usual. Aww, he's such a gentleman!

"Thanks Steve for helping me out"

"It's the least I could do. I mean you make dinner for us every night without fail"

He was a charmer.

We walked outside and found Bucky had already set up the equipment.

"Ta da!" Bucky exclaimed as he stepped back with his hands wide out.

He had already set up a huge mat on the ground with 3 pillows and a gigantic blanket. He'd also prepared lots of snacks and root beers. I think we're gonna get wasted tonight..

Night soon came, and we all got changed into our comfy pajamas. Steve was wearing a plain white undergarment shirt with his usual khakis. Bucky was wearing a blue T-shirt with just boxers on. I was wearing a tank top and white shorts.

We all laid down on the mat prepared. This was all new to me, so I just kept quite.

"Alright guys. Lets catch up a little.. So Steve, have you found anyone interesting yet?" Bucky teased.

Steve looked a little tensed and he was boiling up. He then took the courage to say "umm, I've known someone.."

"Oh really?.." I gotta admit. I was disappointed. "Who is it?" I tried sounding normal again.

Steve turned to me and stared at me "she's a really nice and talented girl. She's beautiful, smart, strong.. She's prefect" right now his face was so close to mine. He was starring at my lips too. I didn't know what to do. I mean I like him, but we haven't even been on a relationship yet, and now he wants to kiss me?

He leaned in on me slowly and his eyes slowly shuttered close. He was definitely leaning in to kiss me. What was he doing? Didn't he just say that he had a girl that he liked? Wait.. Was I that girl he was talking about?

I backed away nervously and he quickly snapped from his trance. Bucky cleared his throat. Oh yea, Bucky was still there.

Bucky knew that this was very awkward, so he changed the subject. Thank you Bucky!

"So, lets talk about me guys. Lets see... I have a girl. She's Shelby. I signed up for the army. And I'm living with my 2 best friends"

Well that was short.

"So Kate. What about you? Have you found anyone interesting yet?" Bucky popped the situation to me.

"No.. Umm, maybe.. But.. I don't know"

Steve's expression deepened and he kept his head low. Bucky noticed it and spoke up again "who's this guy? Can I meet him?"

"Umm. I don't know. I'm not even sure if I have any special feelings for him yet"

"When the time comes, tell me okay?"

I nodded my head. We digged into the snacks we had and laid ourselves with cans after cans of root beer. I don't know when, but I soon passed out.

I woke up to the sound of birds chirping. I fluttered my eyes slowly and noticed that my face was so near to Steve's! We were practically almost kissing! What happened last night! We're we that wasted? I got up and noticed that Bucky was sleeping at the other corner of the room. Wonder how he got there.

I got up from my position slowly, not wanting to wake Steve up. I went to make breakfast for everyone in the kitchen. I soon came out with three plates filled with eggs and bacon. Steve woke up all of the sudden. I guess he was confused about what happened last night too. I handed him some meds and a glass of water. He looked up to me and gave me that deepened expression again like last nights. "Thanks" is all the said.

Bucky then rolled over and woke up. I handed him meds and a glass of water too. "Thanks. You're a life saver Kate" he thanked me while yawning.

After everyone was fully recovered of last nights happenings, we started on breakfast. We digged in like they've hadn't eaten in years. I was so hungry.

I cleaned up the dishes by myself this time. Steve didn't offer to help me. Did Steve feel pissed at me? Was it because he thought that I had liked someone? But why would he be upset? He liked a girl too. But, maybe. Just maybe, that girl is me. I should really confront my feelings to Bucky. Maybe he knows. But I'm afraid to tell him. What if Steve doesn't like me and I just blurted my feelings out? I need a plan of approaching Bucky.
