Out of Time [Steve Rogers/Captain America Fan Fiction]

Chapter 3: A New Era [Part 2/2]

I sat at the table watching as steve gulped down 2 steaks, 6 eggs and 4 glasses of milk, i smiled as he looked at me slightly embarassed, "you want more? theres two more steaks left...." i said as i took up his plate, he smiled, "yes please.....and some more eggs if you don't mind..." i nodded and walked to the stove and started to cook once more, "i'm not burdening you am i lilli.....?" i heard him say sadly, i turned and walked to him, "no......your not.....why would you be a burden to me...." i said sadly as i knelt next to him, he looked down to me his blue eyes full of sadness. "well...when i lost my mother and father...you had to take care of me....and then i finally made something of my self and i get frozen for seventy years and now i'm thrown on you again.....", i placed a hand on his cheek, my tone becoming serious, "don't you ever think you are a burden to me steve.....i need you around more than you realize.....and plus" my tone returning to normal as i stood next to him, "you give me a purpose.....before you came back i lived here alone...doing paperwork....so please...don't hesitate to ask for anything....alright...?" i straightened up and walked to the skillet and turned the steaks over. He smiled and looked back out the window and took a sip of his milk, i smiled and when we finished eatinghe looked around, i looked at him, "where is the restroom...." he said as he pulled out some new clothes from the dresser, i stood and walked into the other room, "in here......" i said as i started the shower, i turned to walk back and bumped into him, i looked at what i had hit and saw him standing behind me with his shirt off. I felt a blush creep across my face as i looked at his body, "oh...i'm sorry are you ok...." he said as he placed an arm around me, "oh....ummm...y-yes...just fine!" i said as i frantically walked back into the kitchen.

I leaned against the counter and placed a hand on my chest, my heart was pounding and i couldn't breathe, i took a deep breath and finally calmed myself down, "ummm lilli.....where is the lye....." i heard steve say from behind me. I turned and saw him standing in the doorway in nothing but a towel, his hair and body wet, 'oh my goooooooood' i thought to myself, "wait...what..." i said, "the lye....do you know where it is?", "oh! its ummm... hold on let me see....." i walked past him quickly and opened the cubbard in the bathroom and pulled out a bar of lye and handed it to him, he smiled and i rushed past him, "thank you lilli..." he said as he shut the bathroom door, i sat at the table with my hands on my face, "get a grip girl......." i whispered as i took a sip of tea. After he showered he walked out in a blue shirt and blue slacks, i smiled and took in the scent comming off of him, "Bay Rum.....haven't smelled that in years...." i said as i noticed a blush on his face, he smiled, "yeah... it was a favorite cologne of mine.....i found some in the cubbard....". I smiled and looked out the window, i got up and looked at him, he let out a yawn and looked at me, "so where do i sleep..." he said as he looked around. I noticed they hadn't gotten him a bed in my apartment yet like i had instructed earlier, "well you can take my bed......ill sleep on the sofa...." i said as i pulled out a pair of lounging pants and a tanktop. He frowned, "oh no i can't make a lady sleep on a sofa...i'll sleep there....", i turned and quickly retaliated, "i must protest......you need to sleep in the bed.... i won't be able to sleep if you don't". He sighed and nodded, "ok......alright...fine....you got me... i'll sleep in the bed...", i smiled, "good....now....good night..." i said as i turned to goto the bathroom, "good night lilli...." i heard him say before i shut the door behind me.
