31. | Real Life |

Monday morning...
Beverly woke up in Sebastian's trailer.
She was laying on top of him.
She looked up to see if he was still asleep, but surprisingly met his tired gaze.
"Mornin' beautiful." He said with his deep and husky morning voice.

"Oh my god. What's the time?!" She panicked and sat up in a heartbeat, trying to find her phone.
"Hey, relax..." He says, wrapping his arms around her waist and pressing his face against her bare back. "It's only 6.15 am. We have over an hour."

She turns around to look at that Romanian puppy.
She ran her fingers through his messy hair and kissed then his forehead.
She laid down next to him and cuddled up with him again.
After a moment of silence she asked, "Remember when we freaked about the kiss we have to do today?"

He chuckled softly.
"I do. How could I forget... I actually really wanted to kiss you, but I didn't want to tell you that. Oh, how stupid I was." He replies, giving her a soft smile afterwards.

"Honestly I wanted, too. But I was so scared, 'cause I knew I would fall hard for you if I needed to kiss you. Now we're here. And the funny thing is; we haven't even filmed the first kiss scene yet." She told and laughed then.

"Mmh... Yeah." He says before placing a kiss on her red lips. "I'm just waiting for the sex scene..." He mumbles against her lips. Her cheeks heated up a bit.
"Let's go get some breakfast?" She asked and he nodded in an agreement.

Sebastian and Beverly arrived to the set together from makeup, where Kari was already waiting them.
"Good, you're here!" She clapped her hands together.

They started filming in a few minutes.
(Okay, so Beverly's character's name is gonna be Claudia. That's all ;) )

Claudia (Beverly) stepped in a coffeeshop in Chicago. She goes there every so often. She likes it there, because the place is very beautiful. Also she has met there some people, who are her friends today. For example Bucky.
They had agreed to meet there today.

She looked around and saw Bucky sitting at the corner table where he always is. Claudia isn't sure why he likes it there, but it's none of her business anyway.

She put on a smile on her face as she approached that brunette man. The first time she saw him he had long, wavy hair, but he got soon after a haircut. Now he has shorter hair and beard.

There's only one weird thing about this man, Claudia thinks. He always wears long sleeved shirts or jackets and he has gloves on. If not on both of his hands, at least on his left one.

"Hey!" She greeted him, snapping him out of his thoughts. He turned his head to look at her from toe to the head.
"Hey, you look very beautiful." He gave Claudia a sweet smile she loved.
She blushed a bit before sitting opposite him.

"Thank you. You don't look so bad yourself." She says.
He keeps on his smile for a moment before it fades away, leaving him to look emotionless. Something was probably wrong.

"What's wrong?" She asked, concern in her voice.
He looks up to her and just shook his head. "Ah, it's nothing. Just zoned out, that's all." He lied, but tried to look convincing.

She reached over the table and took his right hand in hers. "Bucky, listen. We've been friends for a month now and I can tell when you're lying. C'mon, tell me what it is." She says.

"Okay, fine. But can we first get outta this place? I need some air." He says and she agrees.
T

hey went on a walk to the park next to the coffee shop. It was pretty peaceful.

"So, tell me. Is everything okay?" Claudia asks.
He looks down at his feet before looking up and meeting her gaze.
"To be honest, I don't know..." He tells. Curiosity inside her just grew as time passed by.

"I think I'm afraid to tell you some things about me and my past. See, I'm not normal. Not even close to it. I just– I don't know. I'm afraid what you would think of me..." He tells her nervously.

He's scared, that she would leave him. Just like everybody else. His best friend of a very long time left him – but for a good reason. He doesn't have a family anymore. He does have one "friend", but he's not sure about it. And everything's just so messed up, especially his own head.

"You're afraid for nothing. I won't judge you. Past is in the past and what really matters is who you are today. And I think you're a great guy." She comforts him.

"You sure?" He asked. "You're sure you want to know the real me?"
She nodded.
Bucky took a deep and shaky breath.
"Okay then..."

"I was born 1917. Yes, it was before the World War 2. And I was in the army, leading some troops into the battlefield. It was rough. Then came HYDRA. They took me hostage and used me as some kind of experiment. They made me a super soldier and put on ice for a long time. They brainwashed me and I became an assassin. I killed a lot of people; innocent people. Then they woke me up again in 2014, when I escaped, after my best friend Steve helped me remember who I was. I then traveled from place to place until I settled in Bucharest. I bought an apartment and lived there for about a year, until more problems came in view. After that I've been criminal and on the run, but Steve was always there for me, though. Now I lost him. I don't have anybody and I don't fit in anywhere. I would probably be welcome to the Avengers mansion, but for me it doesn't feel right. Not after what I've done..." He told her his story.

"And also I have this." He said and took the glove off of his left hand. It was fully metal. Now she understood why he always wore gloves. He felt ashamed of his arm.

All she felt was compassion toward the man next to her. He has gone through so much, but still he was standing there. Smiling a little bit.

"So, I understand if you don't want to talk to me anymore or see me—" he said, but was cut off by soft lips on his. He was surprised, but kissed her back.

She pulled away. "As I said: past is in the past. And actually I am proud of you, because you're still standing there. You're strong, you're brave. Also you can be sweet and happy. I am proud of you. You're the most amazing person I've ever met." She told him smiling.

He then pulled her in for another kiss.

"Cut!"

"Amazing, just wonderful! Both of you showed good amount of emotion and remembered the lines correctly. Seems like you two being a couple in real life is really helping your acting." Kari says, happy tone in her voice.

That was it for today. Beverly and Sebastian returned to Sebastian's trailer. They like to spend time there, because his trailer is a little bit bigger than hers.

"I'm so exhausted..." She stated, pleadingly looking at Sebastian. He just gave her a smirk, before picking her up, and carrying her bridal-style to the bed.
He laid her down, before crawling into bed with her.

He wrapped his arms around her and soon both of them were fast asleep.
