It Wasn't Okay, Not For Me 2

Chapter 8 (Valentine's Day Special)

"You're a pain in ass, you know that?" Clint asks. Natasha nods, meaning 'I do'. They hold each others hands and press their foreheads together. "Okay, you win." says Clint, and immediately pins Natasha down. He says, "Tell my family I love 'em." Natasha understands what was going on, so she punches him, gets up and points the Widow's Bite at him. "You tell 'em yourself." she says and runs towards the edge of the cliff. Clint quickly shoots an arrow with a bomb to stop her. Natasha falls on the ground, panting. Clint throws his stuff on the ground, runs towards the edge of the cliff and jumps. As soon as he does that, Natasha jumps after him and saves him by putting a cable on him that was attached to the cliff. Clint didn't want to let her go, but he had to."

Natasha's POV:
As soon as the nightmare ends, I wake up, feeling anxious and terrified. I looked at the clock and saw it 2:00am. I try to fall asleep again by counting sheep. And guess what, I just couldn't go to sleep anymore. So I decided to take a walk in the garden.

I know it's weird for a person to take a walk at 2 in the morning, but this method has always worked for me.

I get up from the bed, put on a pair of slippers and go down the stairs. I open the door to the backyard and head out. I keep roaming around, not caring about the time. As I do so, I sing a song that I love.

Bruce's POV:
"Where did she go?" I ask myself as I discover that Natasha wasn't here. I get up from the bed and look around in the hallway, she wasn't there. I look in the kitchen, but she wasn't there as well. Suddenly, I hear some sweet singing from the backyard. I go out and discover that Natasha was singing a song. The moonlight was falling on her in such a way that she looked like an angel. Her angelic look and her beautiful voice made such an effect on me that I kept staring at her and listened to the song.

A few minutes later, when she realised that I was watching her, she came up to me and asked me "What are you doing here?"

- Huh?
- Why are you here?
- Oh, I...umm, yeah, nothing. I was searching for you. By the way, what are you doing here?
-(sigh) I had that same nightmare again, so I came here to walk it off.
- At this hour?
- Yeah. Why?
- Aren't you feeling cold?
- To be honest, I am feeling a bit cold.
- Luckily, I brought your jacket. Her you go.
- Thanks.

We then go and sit down on the bench. I looked into her eyes and saw fear. I took her hand in my hands.

- What's wrong?
- Nothing.
- You know, you can trust me.
- My nightmares don't seem to be ordinary.
- What do you mean?
- Well... When you have a dream, you can't feel anything because it's not real. But about an hour ago, I had the same dream that I had the day before yesterday. In that, I jump from a cliff. And when I do that, I'm not supposed to feel the pain that struck me when I hit the ground. But guess what, I could feel it.
- The pain?
- Yes. I know it's crazy and you probably don't believe in what you just heard, so it's best if we go to bed.
- I, um...
- It's okay.

Next Morning . . .

Natasha's POV:
The alarm clock stars ringing. I wake up and look at it to see it was 9:00am. I tried to get up but I couldn't because Bruce was using my belly as a pillow. As I couldn't get up, I start playing with his hair. At a point, he just grabbed my hand and kissed it. "I wanna show you something." he says and gets up. He makes me get up from the bed. He then covers my eyes with his hands. "Do as I say," he says, "and you'll have a great day." "Did you just become, I don't know, William Wordsworth?" I ask him jokingly. "Why, don't you like my poetic ways?" he asks and I just laugh. He takes me somewhere, which I think is the balcony. Finally, we stop taking tiny steps and he takes his hands off my eyes.

- Okay. It's just the balcony.
- Oh god! Look down!

And as I do so I see the roses in the garden were arranged in such a way that it said "Will You Be My Valentine?"

I look at Bruce and I ask "What?" I was feeling so happy, satisfied... It's beyond words!

Bruce then puts his hand in front of me and says "Night is falling, my heart is calling. I feel so lonely I need you only, but I've got a teddy that I take to bed. If you'll be my Valentine, I'll take you instead." I grab his hand, pull him closer and give him a tight hug saying "Of course I will!"

At 7:00pm . . .
"You ready?" he asks me. "I need ten more minutes. Wait for me in the living room." I reply.

Bruce planed something for us in an Italian restaurant. I have absolutely no idea what's gonna happen but I know it's gonna be a hell of a night. He also bought me a gown for tonight.

He wore a tuxedo and was looking amazing.
