The Eighth Avenger (A Loki Love Story)

The Perfect End To A Not So Perfect Day

*Steve's P.O.V.*

We got in line for the fairace wheel. Clint and Natasha were talking about something but I realized Jess was being awfully quiet.

I looked over at Jess to see her doing something on her phone.

"What are you doing?" I asked confused.

"I was just texting- well ending a conversation with Fury over text."

"Oh wha-... Wait what is texting?"

She laughed to herself. Yes ok Jess I know I'm dumb jeez...

"Texting is were you can type a message in on your phone and send it to another person who has a cell phone and they can read it and send you a message. It's a way to communicate with people without having to call them. I like it better then calling."

"Oh. Can you teach me?"

"We can go to my house after this and I will teach you if you want. But not right now ok?"

"Ok..." I said. I don't even have my phone so that's ok. I continued, "What did Fury say?"

"He's mad 'cuz we didn't tell him where we went. So this week I'm on coffee duty."

Oh my God... I felt so bad and guilty.

"Oh I'm so sorry Jess, I didn't mean to get you in trouble I just wanted all of us to-" I said quickly then she cut me off with... laughing?

"Its fine! 'Cuz next week your on coffee duty! And then Natasha is and then Clint." She kept laughing. Great coffee duty. Well at least we all had to do it.

"That's a lot of coffee, do you want help carrying it this week?" I offered. I still felt bad. I mean Cmon. COFFEE DUTY.

"That would be great thanks! And I will help you next week." she said happily.

Well at least she isn't bummed about it.

"So..." I started to say. I looked into those big silver grey eyes of hers. "Oh. My phone is at my place." I stuttered.

"Oh yeah that's fine. We can go to your house. Even better. Man I can't believe they gave you an I phone! You can barely work the TV!" I gave here a glare and she stopped.

"Sorry..." she said as she looked down at her feet.

"Awe its ok." I put my arm around her playfully to reassure her it really was quite fine.

"Are you trying to make a move on me?" a smile came across her face as she looked at me.

I chuckled and nodded my head as if to brush it off and say no at the same time. Whatever. Wait why had she asked me that? I smiled.

"Why?"

"Well um... I just..." She stuttered then stopped talking.

And I decided to tell her. Finally really tell her.

"Hey, you probably know this already... but... I like you..." my smile faded as I could feel my face get hot and I blushed

Her cheeks got bright red. "Yeah I can tell- could tell... can tell..."

I laughed to myself at that cute stutter she sometimes has.

"What's so funny Mr. Crushing-on-Jess?" She mocked and smiled.

I blushed. "Well I'm sorry your beautiful."

Wow. I said it. I didn't mean to it just sort of came out. I listened as the words rolled off my tounge, I just couldn't stop it.
