LOVELESS

Chapter - 9

Natasha~

Fluttering her eyes slowly open, Natasha finds herself alone in the bed, causing her heart to sink a little.

What do you expect? That was called a one night stand, dear. She sarcastically thought but she just couldn't stop her heart to clench a little even though she knew that was the truth.

She tried to get up from the bed but she could feel a little sting down there. She felt so sore. It was like she lost her innocence once again since there were no other men after him.

But it was not a surprise to her either. Last night, after they went three rounds, Steve woke her up two times as he just couldn't get enough of her.

Picking up the t-shirt lying carelessly on the floor, she puts it on and walked towards the kitchen as she felt a little hungry.

Yes, you should need some energy after last night. Her conscious snarkily remarks, making her blush.

Then, she hears some shuffling and cursing of a man. Please God, don't let it be some crazy stalker trying to rape me. She prayed.

But she was beyond surprised when she spots a very familiar man facing his back as he was busy making.....coffee?

She couldn't help but shake her head in amusement. Oh, Steve. She thought, looking at him with pure love and adoration.

Walking towards him, she hugs him from the back making him to flinch a little since he did not hear her coming.

Taking in his muscular scent, Natasha can't help but smile as she close her eyes. Steve also starts to relax once he knows that it was Natasha hugging him.

"I thought you were gone." She says, which comes out barely as a whisper since she gets a little emotional.

Steve smiles faintly, not having any heart to break the fragile woman's heart again.

He woke up a few minutes before her and once he was all dressed, he took a glance at Natasha's delicate sleeping form. And he didn't have the heart to leave her just yet.

So, he decided to stay a little longer. Only a little longer. He thought and now, here he is.

"I knew you wouldn't leave me just like that. I knew it, Steve." She starts to sob, hugging him tightly as she pours out her heart.

Steve felt bad again. He would soon leave her again and he might break her heart again.

But it didn't have to be now. He thought as he pulls away a little and turn to face her. He gives her a smile as he puts his hands on her cheeks and wipe away her tears.

"Of course I'm here, silly." He lightly chuckles, as he pinches her nose making her smile.

She buries her face in his warm chest and hugs him tight. Not wanting to let go again.

"Although I still want to cuddle with you, you have to.....drink. I really didn't know how to make anything other than coffee." He sheepishly spoke, pulling away from her.

Natasha lets out a chuckle, probably finding it amusing. "You still didn't learn anything? Even after fifteen years?" She questions, playfully raising her eyebrows at him.

He gives her a pout as he slowly nods, making her laugh at his cuteness. "Oh God, I love you so much, Steve." She blurts out, not even knowing what she is saying.

She thought that they were together again after last night. He kept on whispering sweet nothings in her ears which still makes her blush when she recalls the events of the previous night.

Steve just gives her a faint smile as he didn't want to shatter her into pieces once again.

She keeps on humming to some song as she takes a sip of the black coffee that Steve had made for her.

'She didn't seem so broken. She seems like the old Natasha again.' He thought as he admired the beauty in front of him.

A smile tugs on his lips as he watches Natasha happily swinging her long legs as she sits on the stool. There is no doubt that she is also bringing him happiness.

"You were great last night." He spoke, knowing all too well that she is going to become beet red again like her hair.

No, now she dyed it blonde which makes him frown. He loves the natural red hair on her. Not that he didn't like the blonde Natasha, but he liked the red headed Natasha better.

She blushes furiously once she hears what he is talking about. "Stop it, Steve. You're making me uncomfortable." She says, as she buries her face in her hands.

He just laughed at her. "Fine, fine. I will not bring it up again." He laughs, as he takes her hands in his, catching her offguard.

"I.....Steve...." she begins but she don't know what she is really trying to say.

He just leans down towards her face again, but he didn't touch her lips just yet.

Natasha's breathing starts to get heavy as she bites her lips in eagerness. She really wants to get a taste of those lips again.

Steve just smirks, knowing all too well the effect he had on her. So, he decided to tease her a little.

He puts his hands on her small curvy waist and he gives it a little pinch which makes her whimper.

Then, instead of pressing a kiss on her lips, he press a long kiss on her neck as he sucks a little. She lets out a soft moan.

"S-Steve?!" Her voice came out barely in a whisper.

She feels hot all over again once his hands comes in contact with her burning skin. She feels like she is on fire just by his gentle touch.

"Nat.......Why do you have to change your hair colour?" He huskily whispers in her ears, gently biting it in the process.

Her eyes suddenly widen in surprise, all the confidence she had in herself all gone.

"Y-You don't like it?" She croaks, regretting for ever dyeing her hair. 'Did I look ugly? Will he still like me?' She thought. Even though it sounds silly, she still finds herself getting a little worried thinking that Steve would leave her for it.

Steve lets out a low chuckle as he let their foreheads touch. He pecks on her soft plump lips. "I like it very much. Why did you look all down?"

Natasha just avoids to meet his eyes. "I'm scared, Steve."

"Why so?" He questions, pulling back a little as he becomes a little serious.

"I'm scared that you would leave me because of it." She replies with her delicate voice, making him to clench his jaw.

Who in the world would possibly break up for such reason? He asks himself, finding it very silly. Says the one who broke up with her because she was 'boring'. His conscious sarcastically remarks.

"Steve?! Are you okay?" Her soft voice makes her to snap out of his thoughts.

He just gives her a faint smile as he step back a little. "I change my mind." He says, mostly to himself but she could hear it.

"About what?" She asks, raising her eyebrows.

Now, that mischevious smirk starts appearing on his handsome face again. "You're not that sore, are you?" He questions making her blush instantly.

"Uh....I..." she is at loss of words right now. She just didn't know how to answer him to that kind of question.

"I'll take that as a no." He states even before she had a chance to answer him.

Then, she is up in the air and is being carried to the bathroom to enjoy a long shower with the love of her life.
