5,000 Miles & Only One You

Falling Files

The lunch hour was soon over and Sharon had just finished fixing her hair before turning to look at Steve, who was still panting after their little quickie in the office. "I'll see you at home, yes?" Watching her husband nod, Sharon opened the door and quickly left without another word. As she walked down the hall she spotted Natasha walking down the hall with files stacked up against her chest and her nose in her phone. With a smirk on her lips, Sharon slightly bumped into Natasha and continued walking. As she continued away from Natasha, she heard her thump to the ground and she knew she had succeeded. Sharon was long gone before Natasha could see who it was that had made her fall.

Natasha sat on the ground with files all around her and her phone face down in the tile. "Are you kidding me right now?!" Trying to gather up the mess of paper, Natasha heard a door open and she saw Steve walking out of her office. "And what were you doing in my office, Steve?" Natasha crossed her arms over her chest with a glare. She knew that Sharon was last with him, but she didn't know where they went.

Steve glanced down at Natasha and he quickly went to her side. "Your office?" Closing his eyes briefly, he tried to forget what he did in there and he hoped and prayed that the office didn't stink of sweat and other fragrances. "I just went in there to check out the view, I guess. I didn't know that it was your office, it's nice by the way." Steve began to move files back into their proper folders. "What did you do for lunch?" Steve glanced at Natasha and he studied her face. Something was bothering her, yet he couldn't figure out what would bother her, especially on her first day.

Natasha shook her head and rolled her eyes in annoyance. "I didn't have lunch. I was too busy working on these files, which need to be in Tony's hands in less than 10 minutes." Looking at Steve, Natasha saw the hickey on his neck and she gritted her teeth. "Yeah, checking out the view of Sharon I'm sure." Filing the last of the papers, Natasha grabbed her phone and gathered the files and began to stand up, only to feel Steves hand around her arm to help her up. "I don't need your help, Steve. Thanks though."

Furrowing his brows, Steve stood in front of Natasha before she could move away. "I-...yes. Sharon and I hooked up in your office. I didn't know it was yours, typically the post signs on them. I'm sorry for ruining your office. I can ask for another one for you." Steve looked deeply into her green orbs and he felt a smile form. "How about dinner? To make up for the lack of lunch? You and me. What do you say?" Steve wiggled his eyebrows hoping that Natasha would say yes to his offer.

Rolling her eyes again, Natasha moved away from Steve and shook her head. "You don't need to explain to me that you and your wife had sex. And there was a sign on the door, must have been to busy to notice it." Walking down the hall heading towards Tony's office, Natasha turned around and looked at Steve with a displeased look. "No, I don't want dinner with you. It's against the rules here and I have to play by them, for now." Before turning back on her heels, Natasha gave Steve a wink and then made her way back into her bosses office.

Placing the files down, Natasha quickly text Steve and smiled softly. 'Dinner sounds amazing. Maybe I can have what I didn't get to have last night?' After hitting send, Natasha sat down in the chair and waited patiently for Tony to come back and for the time to go by quickly, just so she could go out and break all the rules.
