You and Bucky Barnes were once the perfect couple. You were young and in love and that’s where everything went wrong. He had a drinking problem and you wanted bigger and better things, so that’s what you did. You packed up your broke down car and went out to see the world. Leaving him was one of the hardest things you ever did, but with his drinking and his seeming to want to go nowhere with his life, it drove you away.
Now it was four years later and you had a completely different life.
You were meeting your friends Nat and Wanda to discuss wedding things at a hotel bar in Manhattan, your fiance was at a conference for the weekend. It was nice to just be with the girls for awhile. It had been so long since you'd seen them. You sit at the table sipping your martini giggling over something Nat just said.
“Oh my god.” Across the room you see someone that brings up a whole lot of old memories. Your eyes lock on him as he approaches the bar, when he sees you he stops dead in his tracks.
“Y/N? Is that you?” He walks over to the table.
“James.” You stand up too quickly almost spilling your drink. You couldn't believe it was him, or how good he looks. How he still made you feel all tingly.
“God look at you, you look gorgeous.” Bucky smiles at you.
“And you, you look great.” The words are coming out of your mouth but it still doesn't feel like he's standing there talking to you. “These are my friends, Natasha and Wanda, ladies this is James Barnes.”
“Call me Bucky.” He says as he shakes their hands. “Um, y/N, can we catch up? What has it been four years?”
“Can you excuse me for a moment?” you say to the girls, when they nod you follow Bucky to the bar and sit with him. “So what have you been up to?”
“Well I'm not an alcoholic anymore, I'm a CEO of a big corporation in Boston, I own a boat.” He laughs a little and takes a sip of the whiskey he just ordered. “Don't worry I'm not falling off the wagon, I'm aloud a casual drink every now and then.”
“Buck I'm so proud of you, CEO that's impressive.” You put your hand on his arm and smile, he looks down at it and that's when his smile fades.
“That's quite the rock.” He swallows hard. “Who's the lucky guy?”
“His name is Bobby.” You spin the ring around on your finger. “He's a stock broker, he's a really good guy Buck.”
He nods. “I'm happy for you.”
“Thank you James. Are you seeing anyone?” You ask.
He shakes his head. “Nah, could never find the right person, I'm still looking though.” He smiles sadly.
“You'll find someone Bucky, you're a great man, you always have been.” You put your hand on top of his and he smiles at you. The feeling you get when your skin is on his, it's like you never stopped loving him. It feels like it always did, like you weren't meant to be with anyone else and when you look into his deep blue eyes you feel your heart pound hard against your chest. You squeeze his hand and shut your eyes, trying to get the feelings out of your mind.
“I should go.” Bucky whispers and pats your hand. “I wouldn't want you to keep your friends waiting, tell them it was nice to meet them.” He stands up and heads for the door.
You nod. “It was really good to see you, I hope this isn't the last time.” You walk back over to the table and lean on it for a minute, thinking. Your head is telling you to let him go, to move on, to leave things the way they are, but your heart is saying something else. “I have to go.”
“Bucky wait.” You say after finally catching up to him.
He turns around and stares at you. “Y/N? What is it?”
You don't say anything, you can't think of the right words. Heels clicking, you close the distance between you two and press your lips onto his, backing him into the nearest wall.
He runs his hands up your neck and they stop at your cheeks, deepening the kiss. Your bodies come together perfectly like pieces of a puzzle. He pulls away leaving you breathless. “Are you sure about this?”
You nod. “Where's your room?”
“Top floor.” He holds you by the hips watching your every move.
“Lets go.” You grab onto his tie, pulling him toward the elevator.
He places his hands on your cheeks and stares into your eyes. “You're so damn beautiful, you look as good as the day I met you.”
You bite your lip as you wait for the elevator, breathing almost too heavily. The elevator dings and opens up, you look into it and then back at Bucky. “I never stopped loving you.” You blurt.
He pushes you into the elevator kissing you,but desperately pushing the button for the top floor as if pushing it more with make it go faster.
You both pull at each other, lips everywhere, trying to get each other closer even if you know it isn't possible. The kiss is sloppy but neither of you care that your teeth are banging into each other. It was hot and sweaty and a mess, but it was passionate and like you would die if either of you stopped. “God Buck.” You breath out as he moves his lips down your neck.
He lifts your arms above your head and slides his hand down your leg and lifts you up, pushing you harder into the wall of the elevator.
You wrap your arms around his neck as he runs his hand up your thigh, moving under your dress. You bring his lips back to his and finally you reach the top floor. The walk to his room is longer than you want, but he keeps kissing you as you make your way down the hall. He can barely get his key card in the door he is so busy with you.
“Fucking come on.” He seethes, frustrated. Finally the door opens to his expensive suite and you stumble inside, kicking off your heels. He stops for a second after closing the door. “Y/N I don't want you to do anything you're going to regret.”
“Bucky I could never regret you, the only thing I regret is not staying with you.” You lay your hands on his chest, “I want this, God I want you.”
“Good.” He pushes you into the door a little too roughly, but you don't care. You just moan as he pushes you harder, deepening the kiss, his tongue moving across your lower lip, making your stomach flip. You remember how much he liked it when you ran your hands into his hair, so you move your fingers into his soft locks. You pull on it gently causing him to growl out a low moan of pleasure.
Bucky’s hands reach behind you and pull down the zipper on your dress, never breaking the kiss as he pulled it down your shoulders, letting gravity take care of the rest.
You push his jacket off him and start to unbutton his shirt, kissing his skin that each undone button leaves exposed. After his shirt is off you push him to the bed and that's when you know you're all in.
The sex is hot and messy. Passionate. Dare you say the best you ever had. There was nails digging into skin, gentle pulling of hair. Teeth and tongue, tugging on his lower lip as he runs his hand up your back. The sheets pull off the corners of the mattress. The headboard bangs into the wall. You're so close to him that it feels like you're glued together, you don't want this euphoria to end. You just want to be closer.
But as you fall back onto the bed when he lets you go, you close your eyes and breath out heavily, your head still spinning in ecstasy. “Jesus Christ Buck.” You laugh through exasperated breath.
He lays down beside you, his breathing just as heavy. “You can say that again doll.” He turns over onto his side and watches as your chest rises and falls with every breath. “I love you too you know.”
You stare at the ceiling and part of you wants to throw up, but the other wants to just kiss him and stay with him and forget all about your wedding. You look over at your phone seeing all the missed texts and calls from Wanda and Nat, there is also several from Bobby. Your ring is sitting on top of your phone, you couldn't bare to leave it on. You were a cheater, a dirty, horrible cheater and all you could think about was how much this was going to hurt him. “James, I..”
“Oh come on, don't James me, you can't just tell me you never stopped loving me and do all that and then just say nothing when I say I love you too.” He sits up. “I know that you're engaged, but you wouldn't have done those things with me if you had a future with that guy.”
“How do I just leave him? I've been with him for almost two years, I can't just show up at our apartment on Monday and say oh hey future husband how was your weekend? By the way I cheated on you.” You stand up and start pacing around the hotel room.
“Why not?” Bucky gets up as well, standing on the other side of the bed. “Clearly you aren't happy with this guy if you're running around with me, I don't know about you but I don't just throw around I love yous if I don't mean it.”
“I never said I didn't mean it.” You look down, broken by his words. “James, I just need some time to think.”
Bucky runs his fingers through his hair and sighs. “I guess that's fair, I'm sorry.” He runs his hand down your arm. “I miss us.”
“I miss us too Buck.” You sigh. “I'll be back I just I need some time." Planting a small kiss on his cheek you walk out of the hotel room with a lot on your mind. On one hand Bucky was the love of your life, one you thought you'd never have back and now that you did you didn't want to let him go. On the other hand Bobby was your now, he was solid, perfect, but he wasn't Bucky. You sat in your car trying to figure things out and all the sudden everything becomes clear when a Blink 182 song comes on the radio. You almost laugh out loud at how coincidental it is. It was like the universe was telling you to go back to that hotel room and be with Bucky. You and him had played I Miss You by Blink 182 way too many times, you beat it to death, but it was your favorite song.
Knowing that someone out there in the universe was looking down on you and saying be with Bucky, you didn't need to think anymore, so you ran back to his hotel room as fast as possible. You knock on the door and when he answers you throw yourself in his arms. “Don't waste your time on me you're already the voice inside my head.”
“I miss you.” Bucky pulls back, holding your face in his hands. He kisses you pulling you as close as he can and it feels like in this moment, it is just you and Bucky, like old times, like you're never getting older.
