* KATE'S POV *

Today I was being set up with Steve by Bucky. Bucky had told me to take Steve to the diners tonight. He said that he would try to convince Steve to tell me his true feelings. And I on the other hand would just do the same after he confesses.

Bucky decided that he would drive me to the diners. He told me that Steve would already be there.

"Kate, so the plan is that you'll have a great time with Steve at the diners. And he'll eventually tell you his feelings, just try to divert the conversations to him. Give him a chance to speak up. And when your dinners over, both of you wait for me to come pick you both up at the bus stop around the corner. But if I see that everything's going fine... I'll make a reroute"

"So what if things don't go so well? And what if he never tell me the truth?"

"Don't worry. He's a man. He'll know what to do -cause if he doesn't, I'm gonna make him do"

"Ok bucks. I'm counting on you" I said while crossing my fingers.

We soon came to the diners. Bucky pulled up in front and took a glance at me. "Nice choice of clothes" he complimented.

I was wearing a red tight fitting dress with a u shaped collar and it was sleeveless. My hair was let down to flow naturally over my chest. I took Bucky's advice not to wear a coat or jacket, cause he wants Steve to put his coat on me. Bucky knows so much of this.. Wonder how many dates he's been on before.

"Thanks bucks. Cross my fingers" I said while leaning in to give him a kiss on the cheek.

He smiled at me and said "good luck, Kate. Steve's a good man, treat him well and I'll make sure he treats you well too"

I nodded and got out of the car. Bucky was watching my every moment until I reached the stained glass door of the diners. I turned back to him one final time and waved a good bye. He waved back at me as well, and he drove off.

I sighed deeply and closed my eyes nervously. Hopefully he'll suck up his gut to tell me how he really feels. I walked into the diners and found him sitting on an empty table.

* STEVE'S POV *

I came out of work early today. I gonna have a night out with Kate. Bucky had set this up for us. He told me to just spread out my feelings to her. At first I didn't wanna go with the idea.. I wasn't ready to tell her yet, but Bucky told me to do it tonight or else I would regret it. I trust Bucky very much, so I'll tell her tonight.

The diners was quite tonight. Normally it would be packed and loaded with loud chatters from everyone. I guess today is a good day to tell her my feelings. I took a seat by an empty table that was near the glass frames and in the back. I didn't want people ease dropping on us.

What was I going to say tonight? How do I approach? Do I just tell her straight forward or do I wait? I wish Bucky was here, he'd be helping me with that right now. Solutions started forming in my mind -but all rejected by my insecurity. I've never felt so nervous and unprepared for.

Suddenly I heard the bells of the diner doors ringing. Someone was here, was it Kate?! I'm not prepared! What do I do? What do I say?

But it was too late to think now cause she was already standing in front of me. "Hey Steve"

"Hey Kate.. You're early" I gestured my watch to her to show her the time. It read 7:00pm. It's actually good, now we'll have more time.

"Yea, Bucky decided to bring me here early"
