I wish you could reply to me, i miss you. The second date was probably more memorable since i didnt even know we had a first date. You and Steve protecting me. Did you know Steves really big now? He visits me sometime since youre away, we'd have tea. We'd talk about you and how much we missed you. Anyway I've tried to reject you that night but you wouldn't take it. You told me on the night we first met that i was unique to you. You had thought about our future. Maybe that was why I didn't want you to leave.
"So how was your date?" Lorraine asked as she ran to me. "It wasnt a date" i rolled my eyes as i clutched my lunch box. "Hey Lorraine Hey Mirabella" Jackson smirked, Lorraine giggled like a school girl. "Hes so cute" she whispered, i smiled at her awe for him. "I heard hes single you should go for it" i stated, her eyes widen. "Oh hush everyone in this block already knows its going to be you and Jackson that will be saying i do" she winked. For some reason James was on my mind after she said that.
"Alright lets begin" I smiled as i sat down getting ready to give the mail for the soldiers that are going into war. "Oh hello Mr Williams" I smiled, hes jacksons dad. "Hello Mirabella i see youre still working here" he smiled. "Yeah making a nice living for my family" i replied, "proud of you being an independent woman we need more of those" he stated.
"Im proud of her too" someone said behind him. It was james. "Thank the man Mirabella" Mr. Williams whispered. "Thank you James" i smiled rolling my eyes. "How do you know this man?" he asked confused looking at the white man. "Oh hes smitten" Lorraine giggled, which i felt myself getting heated by embarrassment. "Oh wow" Mr.Williams laughed. "Are you her father?" James asked, i rolled my eyes. "Do you think just because were darker than you that means were related?" i asked raising my eyebrow. James turned bright red and quickly started apologizing. "Were not related but were like family" Mr.Williams smiled reassuring the boy.
"Another date" James said as i handed him an envelope. "What?" i asked confused by his outburst. "I want another date" he smiled widely, i really like his smile. "We didnt even have a first date" i rolled my eyes. "Yes we did" he smiled wagging his finger. "Most first dates would start with dinner" i stated as i looked at Lorraine who was handing envelopes quickly probably trying to listen to this conversation.
"James go home" I sighed as it was closing time and he was still here. "My names Bucky and i want another date" he replied. "Come on you know nothing will happen" I stated trying to open his eyes. "Why not I can see us walking down the streets with my arms around you, I can see myself sneaking a kiss every time we wait in line for some film you forced us to watch, and I can see you seeing me the way i see you" he smiled standing right in front of me. "James' i said breathless by what he said. "Gosh dammit just date him Mira!" Lorraine and Fiona shouted which caused me to heat up. "Fine lets go" i smiled.
"Where are we going?" I asked looking around. "Well I was thinking about double dating" he smiled, i looked at him weird. "With who?" I asked raising my eyebrow, "my best friend Steve and Fern" he said nonchalant. "Alright will they be fine with us?" I asked concerned which he had a big grin on his face. "What?" i asked. He came closer staring into my brown eyes. "I thought you didnt want an us" he chuckled, i rolled my eyes.
"Steve this is Mirabella" he introduced me to a small blond boy. "Hello Mirabella" he smiled shaking my hand, "Hello". Fern looked disinterested in Steve but with James. "What do you do?" I asked Steve. "Well I would like to join the military to help serve my country" he said proudly. "Arent you a little small for it?" Fern asked as she scrunched her nose. "Dont listen to her I know youre going to do big" I whispered to him which he smiled widely. "Aw look Bucky shes interested in him" Fern screeched. "No shes not" he stated glaring at me and Steve. "James i'm going to get some candy" i said rolling my eyes.
"Hey there" someone said, i turned around seeing a two sleazy guys. I ignored them and quickly grabbed my candy. "Hey im talking to you" one of them said grabbing my arm, "hey!" i shouted. "Let go of my girl" someone i recognized said before the men were knocked out by two men. James and Steve.
Steve didn't want to go dancing so it was just three of us. James had his hand lightly on my back leading me to the place. Fern looked annoyed but I shook it off. We walked into the party which looked dead. "This is what a white party looks like?" I asked myself shocked. The sound of slow music was playing which bored every single person here. "James let's dance" fern suggested as she pulled him away.
"This is dead" a boy said as he stood by me. "Tell me about it" I stated looking at James who was staring at me. I looked at the boy that stood by me, I did not recognize him. "Hello my name is Howard stark" he introduced, I smiled at the handsome man. He had dark brown hair, stood taller than me, and had kind eyes. "My name is mirabella Arthur" I introduced as he shook my hand, I was shocked that he wasn't ignoring me unlike the others at this party. I admired the handsome man as he watched the party around us.
"Mirabella let me walk you home" James said as he led me out, I nodded. I didn't feel like partying but I did it for James.
"I really like you mirabella" he said, I smiled at what he had said. I like him too like he's really sweet. He leaned in and I allowed him to kiss me.
He placed his lips delicately as if any harder I would break. He had his hands around my waist pulling me close. The kiss was sweet and passionate like we were meant to do this. I pulled away from the kiss and smiled.
"Thank you for the night James".
