The King's Fire

Dinner Parties and Private Talks

Sorry for taking so long I've had a few exams to get through this week 🙃😐
Amara POV
I don't know why I've invited superheroes to my home, but oh well at least I'll get to stare at T'Challa for a while.
I decided to make some simple dishes like curry shrimp and rice with a nice cake for dessert.

What can I say, I love to cook.

I quickly showered and got dressed

By the time I came back down stairs , I could see a car pulling up the drive.  Out came every avenger, the last one out of the vehicle being Okoye and T'Challa.
Opening the door , I greeted them with a smile. "Glad you were able to find the place alright. Hope your all hungry"
They all flashed some type of smile and entered the house. I guided them towards the dining table and had to bite back a laugh at the shocked faces.
" You all looked like you've never seen food before,"

Steve was the first one to comment at my teasing, " You have a beautiful home, thank you for inviting us,"

As everyone sat down to eat , I thought it best to break the ice and approach the topic head on.  " So let's discuss these accords, and first of all Captain weren't you against the accords such as myself,"

He nodded unashamed in front of his friends, " Yes I was, until I realized that everyone has an agenda , so I proposed one of my own. Instead of the UN deciding where we can go they only seek the approval of the countries we have to go to, also we choose the information that gets reported to them and when. We have been able to instill protocols that are in our favor ."
" But, will I be able to do the same for myself. I rarely use my abilities unless the instance is dire. When I do choose to fight , I want it to be on my terms. You all don't allow strangers to tell you when to suit up- why should I?"

It seems that my stance in the matter was pretty clear to them. With a promise to try and get the UN to negotiate with me - we carried on to have a nice meal. Okoye and Natasha seemed like they'd be good friends to have. The men were quite funny.

Even so there was only one man that had my full attention all night. He smiled and laughed with everyone but his voice was so clear and strong it was like we were the only ones at the table.
When they all left for the night he stopped at the door and whispered in my ear, " Every time I see you , I don't see how you can be anymore beautiful and you continue to prove me wrong."
If he see it on my skin, I'd be tomato read. Before he could walk away I grabbed his arm.
" How good is your memory?"
He raised his eyebrow in question.
" 555-xXx-XxX, give me call and we can keep talking," I winked at him.

His smiles widened all the way to his eyes.

" I promise you, I will take every opportunity to hear your beautiful voice." With that he bid me goodnight with a kiss on the cheek and left with the others.

Dear lord that man is surely something else. Please let this go somewhere.....
