K - Key

She was at the park. Many tourists or people passed by her. They were all so happy. She pushed her hands into her pockets since they were very cold. She shivered in the cold for a little bit before shaking off the cold with her arms. She stood up walking down the sidewalk. It was Christmas. She didn't receive any calls due to changing her phone but keeping some of her contacts like her friends.

She talked to them from time to time. Once a week, one of them would come over to Italy to visit her and see if she was doing okay. Of course, there was always an excuse to go to Italy and not telling Tony Stark where his daughter was. Tony and Pepper were at home, a little happy but missing her optimistic vibe. They missed their daughter.

Tony would ask her friends from time to time on where she was. As usual, they lied. They didn't want her to be in pain anymore. Steve wanted to tell him since he felt guilty but Natasha and the others would tell him that it's for the best. She'd be fine since she's a strong young lady. Steve only nodded hiding his guilt not wanting to cause his friend in pain. 

Meanwhile, Bucky broke contact with Steve. He was in Rome doing a normal job like being a guard at a mall. He knew it wasn't the best job but it was better than nothing. She sighs looking at her phone. She continued walking down the path to her home. She arrived home unlocking the door turning the lights on. Out popped out, four of her favorite friends. 

"SURPRISE!! MERRY CHRISTMAS!!"they yelled out. She gasped. Steve walked over to her picking her up giving her a tight hug. "Hello, it's nice seeing you again! I know we saw each other a few weeks ago but I missed your beautiful face~"He winked. Her cheeks turned a slight red rolling her eyes slightly after. He laughed squeezing her cheeks. 

Natasha ran over to her pulling Ashella into her arms. Natasha was wearing heels so her face was sort of in her chest. "Natasha! I cannot breathe."She pouted. She removed herself from her and felt something wrap around her shoulders. She opened her eyes seeing a jean jacket. She smiled amazed. "Wow, this..this is really pretty Natasha.. you actually got me a gift."Ashella spoke letting out a small giggle. 

"It took me how many weeks to choose a Christmas gift for you. You liked many things so I thought I might as well get you new clothes!"Natasha responded back. Wanda walked over to her handing her a modern looking black slender box. Ashella opened it seeing a necklace with a silver chain and the shape of the moon on the middle. She gasped. "It's so pretty..."She hugged Wanda. "Thank you Wanda."She said. The two shared some jokes then there was Clint. 

Clint had given her a hug and a white lily flower in a pot so she could grow it in her room. She smiled thanking him. She sighed. "I'm sorry guys if I don't have money to give you guys great gifts.. I-I'm just broke and too busy nowadays to help you guys. I've been working two shifts at a restaurant and at a club as a bartender. I don't know what else I should be doing.. I even to pay back my loan from the bank. Don't worry though, I will give you great gifts on New Years!"She said smiling brightly at the four. 

Steve spoke up, "I'm worried about your father, Ashella.."She turned to him. A sad memory flashed in her mind thinking of her step-father. "I can't go back Steve. If you were to expose my home, I'll still leave because you betrayed me..."She said, her eyes a little cold. Steve nodded. "I won't. I just...don't you think you guys should talk for a little?"Ashella shook her head. "No, now, can we drop it? let's party! I have beer in my refrigerator."She said. 

Steve shook his head. "Actually, I want to see your job place..like, how are the drinks..how life is in an Italian Bar.."He said. She nods. "Come along, but you guys pay for your drinks for I don't have that much money to pay for you guys."She said. 

In 10 minutes, they were already at the club she worked it. It was called, "The Dome". The smell of smoke, and alcohol filled the air. Lust or happy vibes surrounded the five of them. It sure was a rollercoaster. There was music at the side, a woman playing the piano while there were strippers dancing on the poles. She introduced them to her boss and then sat with them by the bar. "So, what would you recommend for us to drink?"Clint asked. 

"Well if you're into cold drinks, you can try the cardinale or the Americano. my favorite would be the Rossini. It's pretty to look at and the color of a person blushing. It's a nice soothing drink but somewhat strong."She said. Natasha thought. "Should I get that then?"Nat asked. She nodded. "Choose whatever. I'll be back. I need the restroom."She stood up heading down the path of bodies to the restroom.

She wore the jean jacket Natasha gave to her, black shorts and a white crop top. She sure looked hot. She had converse high tops. She was a little taller. She then bumped into a male who seemed to walk out in a rush. She stopped in her tracks when the male held her waist. She looked up, "sorry sir..I didn't mean to!"She said. Her eyes met  cold ocean blue eyes. 

She let out a gasp. "Bucky?" The male let go of her and stood straight. He rushed past her not wanting to talk to her for he was beyond pissed. She ran after him seeing him walk past the road toward a black motorcycle. she threw a knife at his metal arm seeing him caught hold of it in a flash. "Don't call me Bucky.. just call me James.. and I.. I'm busy.."He got on the motorcycle about to start it. "No, wait.. I..I thought you stayed back at the Headquarters or going to Canada.. why are you here in Rome?"She asked. 

Bucky ran a hand through his long soft brown locks of hair. "Well, I wanted to go Japan but it costs a lot of money so I decided to go here since I can speak the language. Anyways, It's nice to meet you again, Ashella."He said. She looked at his figure. He wore a black t-shirt and jeans. His hair wasn't tied but cut a bit. He was slowly growing facial hair but she didn't care. What caused her to be more attracted to him is by his body. 

His muscles were evident through the black shirt hugging his figure well. "Ash?"He asked seeing her daydreaming. Her mouth laid agape. Bucky poked her stomach causing her to get out of her trance and laugh at the touch. "I'm ticklish! don't."She said. He nods quietly. "I'm going to go, I'll see you around I guess!"He took out his keys putting it in the engine. She frowned. "Wait, no.. I..I want to talk to you more.. Can I stay with you for the night?"She interrupted him. 

Bucky shook his head. "No.. it's fine-"He began but she grabbed his arm shaking her head. "I insist.. plus, I missed training with you.."She whispered the last part to shy herself away from Bucky. Bucky heard the last sentence smiling to himself. "Fine, let's go. I hope you're not uncomfortable with me sleeping in the same bed as you for my back is in pain."He said. She nodded wrapping her arms around his waist resting her cheek against his back. 

They began to race down the road. Each right or left turn caused her to scream harder and hold tighter. Bucky finally arrived at his house with Ashella hidden behind him. He turned seeing her bright brown eyes teary. He chuckled. "Let's go, angel. We need some catching up to do!"She nodded getting off. He grabbed his key from his pocket.

He only four keys and a moon shaped locket attached to the keys. He shoved the key in turning it opening the door for her to step in. She dazed at the beautiful, neat and comfortable house. "Wow...you're house is beyond prettier than mine."She whispered. Bucky shut the door behind her heading to grab a pack of beer bottles. The two sat down turning on the TV watching a random love series. It sure was an exciting most happy night meeting one another again.
