Chapter 4: I'm Always here

*Natasha's point of view*

Bruce and I go on a long walk but all I can think about is Steve, his hair, his eyes, his fighting style, his figure, his-
"Here we are, our room! 416, our number" he interrupts my thinking and I'm kind of pissed because he did. "Yes, home sweet... home." I say hesitating to say that where he is, is home. No way. He treats me like I'm a prize to be won and never let's me leave his sight.  I Need to get away from him, I need to be free.

After a Crappy roast dinner that tasted like rubber, Bruce fell asleep on the coach. So I did the only thing a loving girlfriend would do. Sneak out. I walk towards the elevator to go for a walk when I notice door door 417 is open.

I pull my gun to my side and enter the room cautiously. I smell... bacon? I love bacon but Bruce doesnt so no bacon is allowed in our apartment. Thanks Bruce. I turn the corner to see a stranger standing in just jogging bottoms cooking bacon. He looks.. fit. Blonde short (but not too short) hair hanging over his head. Oh no. That's- he turns to see me holding a gun and jumps ten feet into the air. After he is back down, he crouched down with his head in his hands. He looked so cute, he even let out a little scream.

"Well hi!" He says looking up at me, surprised.
"You left your door open so i-"
"Tried to scare me half to death!" He says standing up and laughing, I smile at him and try and defend myself.
"I'm very cautious!" I say laughing.
"I guessed!" He stands up and stares at me.
"So you and Bruce, huh?" Oh great. Of course he had to ask that!
"Not really, I dont want to but he wont leave me alone so I gave in and he thinks we are just peas in a pod," he looks at me worried. Does he.. does he like me? No way. "When really it's more of an over protective roommate thing. But I cant leave him because he will turn into the hulk and kill us all."

*Steve's point of View*

She opened up to me. She made me jump and then opened up to me. She looks worried and I can see tears gathering in her eyes. I just want to hug her.
"I've tried so many times but," she starts crying and I hug her. I cant help myself. It feels wrong but it feels right. Her breathe on my chest warms me up and I shut my eyes savouring the moment.

*Natasha's point of view*

He is hugging me! His body heat radiating against me making me feel warm inside. Steve's bare chest against my bright red face calmed down my tears. He let me go with a worried look in his ocean eyes.
"I'm scared, I found someone I like but I cant tell anyone, not even him, until I break things off with Bruce." Okay, what did I just do? I just confessed that I like someone. But the someone is HIM! He doesnt say anything, he just looks down. What's going through his mind does he like me back?

*Steve's point of View*

I hope it's me. I hope she likes me because I like her too. She is so sweet and kind and I just want to kiss her but... it doesn't feel right to kiss a lady when they are most vulnerable.
"I promise, if you tell me anything that you dont want anyone else to know, I wont tell anyone. No one" I say to try and make her comfortable around me. I think I look desperate to know. Okay, just stop talking Steve.

"I should be heading back to my apartment, Bruce will be waking up soon" Does she have to go?
"Bacon for the road?" I say turning back around and serving the bacon on to a plate. She takes a bit of bacon and looks up at me. Those eyes can always come around here. I walk her to the door.
"If you need anything. I'm always here" She looks up at me while I'm standing in my doorway. She replies
"I know." She winks at me and walks back down the corridor.

I shut the door and lean up against it. I crouch down and put my head in my hands. She could never like a guy like me. Could she?

End of I'm Always Here
