Apex Avenger: Shadow Soldier

Ch 32

I wake up to kisses on my neck making me shift awake.

"Good morning." Natasha mumbles against my skin.

"Morning." I rasp squinting as my eyes adjust to the light.

"What time is it?" I ask rubbing my eyes with one hand.

"Fifteen before eight." She answers.

"Shit." I mumble jumping out of bed.

"What?" She asks confused sitting up following my every move.

"I'm late for meeting up with a friend." I say quickly changing my underwear.

"Who? Dom?" She asks curiously.

"No." I shake my head putting a shirt over my head.

"Oh then what's his name?" She asks.

"Paige." I respond simply.

"That sounds like a girls name." She says.

"Yeah it is, I met her last night." I shrug putting on a pair of jeans.

"Oh?" She raises an eyebrow.

"Yeah it's a long story but she's pretty chill and she works for Keem so I'm going to head down to his shop." I say as I step into my shoes.

"You're meeting her now? I was hoping we could get some breakfast so we could talk." She says softly picking at the blanket.

"Sorry babe should've told me sooner." I say.

"Well how was I going to know you had a date first thing this morning?" She asks and I put a shirt over my head.

"It's not a date, I'm literally going to the shop and she's just going to be there." I say and she slightly scoffs.

"Don't be jealous babe. How about dinner tonight?" I ask smiling going over to her as I slip on my bomber jacket.

"I can't, I'm sorry Br-." She says and I shake my head my smile going away.

"Whatever, I don't know why I try anymore." I say with a bitter chuckle.

"Y/N-

"Pardon the interruption, but Dr.Banner is looking for you Ms.Romanoff." FRIDAY says from above.

I growl bubbles in my chest but I cough clearing my throat to cover it.

"Looks like you're Bruce's first thought in the morning too." I say with a scoff of my own.

"You know there's nothing going on between Bruce and I." She sighs.

"Yeah yeah." I brush off not believing it.

Natasha opens her mouth to say something but Apex's phone rings.

I grab my phone looking at the contact with a smile and go into the bathroom.
