Session Three: Feelings

___Session 3___

Today,I was lazy.I wore blue sweatpants and a red tank top,with yet again Steve's navy blue jacket.I wore my white converse again and put my hair up in a messy bun.

I enter the living room and flop onto the couch,where Steve was sitting.I put my head in his lap.

"You are ready early."Steve comments."Did you want to spend time with your best friend?"

"Macy is coming over?"I tease,he rolls his eyes and smiles."Kidding.Though,I'm sure you would mind if she did come over."

"What are you talking about?"He questions.

"You so like her."I comment.

"I mean,She is a good person."He replies.I resist the urge to face palm.

"I mean you like her."I tease.His eyes widen."You are 95 years old.Women can not be as scary as they were to you in the 40s."

"You are a different kind of species."He states."c'mon,Tricks.Dont want to be late,do you?"

+++++

"What do you guys want to hear about?"I ask.

"Bucky."They say in unison.I sigh,sadly.

"You don't have to rush into it."Sarah reminds me.

"No,it's fine."I tell her."I love talking about Bucky."

"When did you realize you had feelings for him?"Kendra asks.

"Now,that my friend,was a good day for me."I tell her,"It was week before I turned 17.So,1935.It was my mother's wedding day.We did weddings pretty much the same way.I had a +1,so I invited Bucky and Steve was busy anyway..."

I never realized how attractive Bucky really was,I mean I always found him attractive,but not like this.

Bucky sat with me at a empty table and talked with me.

"Did I tell you how beautiful you look?"He asks.

"No."I giggle.

"You look breathtaking."He comments,and I could feel the blood rush to my cheeks.

"Well,I have to say you look quite handsome."I tell him,and he smiles ear to ear.

"I'm glad you invited me."He admits,"I like spending time with you,Gracie."I look at him,examining him.I had been the whole time.Something about him made my stomach flip in an unusual way.This never happened before.

"I like spending time with you too."I reply.

"So,what do think of the whole remarrying?"Bucky asks me,"truthfully."

"I love Lucas.He is more than a father than my actual one.Thats why I am changing my last name with my mom."I explain.

"Grace Eve Williams."Bucky speaks out aloud,"I like it."

"Much better than Thompson."

"Agreed."Bucky states.The music changes to a slow song.Bucky smirks at me."May I have this dance,Gracie?"

With that smirky smile,and his beautiful blue-green eyes stare at me,I just couldn't deny him."Of course."He pulls up to my feel.He places his hands on my waist and I put my hand on his shoulder and the other around his neck.

We danced swiftly,and slowly,to the music.Our bodies moulded together perfectly and we moved in sync.

"I'm so glad I met you."I tell Bucky.He looks down at me,because of our difference in height.

"Why?"He asks.

"You taught me how to trust someone,how to trust a man."I explain,"I can be myself around you-and Steve-and you don't have to act like someone else for me.People like you who are accepting and caring ,and people like Steve who have such big hearts and loyal are hard to find in this world." I pause,"I'm one of the lucky ones."

"You are original and that's hard to find too."Bucky informs me,"No one could ever take your place,you aren't s copy of someone,you're different."

We both just kind of state into each other's eyes.Without thinking,we both leaned into the other and our lips met.I pulled him closer and he smiled into the kiss.I felt the world around us disappear.We were the only one there and we were important.

His tongue slides along my bottom lip,asking for entry and I gave in.His tongue explored my mouth and It was weird to be kissing him because this was my first real kiss,with my best friend.The feeling in my stomach got stronger,it flipped,turned,rotated,and exploded.I felt invincible,like nothing could hold me back.

Eventually,we need to breathe and pulled away.We kept our foreheads together for a minute.

"Do you wanna go outside?"I ask him,He just nods and intertwines our fingers,leading the way.

We get outside and lay down on the grass.It was dark out and the stars were shining.I laid close to Bucky,and he had his left arm around me.

"Where does this leave us?"Bucky asks,quietly.

"I'm not sure how my moms will react."I admit."If we became a couple,Steve might feel like a third-wheel."

"I don't want that to happen,"Bucky agrees,"So,let's not do anything in font of them.Lets just not say any thing."He turns his head towards mine as I do the same.Our noses touch and share a short,sweet kiss.

"Wait,so you and Bucky dated secretly for two years?"Steve asks me from behind.I jump at his outburst.

"Why do you get here so early?"I questioned."And yes.Though,we weren't really officially a couple till 1937."

"I can't believe you hid that from me for two years."Steve says,bewildered by his new discovering."I was literally with you and Bucky all the time."

"We used to hold hands under the table or at theaters when we were with you,all the time."I tell him."You were kind of oblivious."

"I could not be that oblivious."He replies.

"Bucky would go to the bathroom during a film,and then I would go to the bathroom 5 minutes after he left to meet up with him."I inform him.He shakes his head in disbelief.

"Like I said yesterday,"Steve says,"when it came to you,Bucky was a private guy."
