Chapter 2- Married Life
We pulled up at a rather large town house. It was beautiful, like something out of a post card. The town itself was build on the sea side and from our bedroom window I could see the beach in all of it's glory. Bucky and I unloaded the moving truck and started packing boxes into the house. We were talking about the town and what we would do later on. It was the only pleasant conversation we had ever had.
"Alright I think we got it all" I said with a wide fake smile on my face.
"Yeah we did. Should we go grab some groceries and then come home to open everything up?"
"Good idea our kitchen is empty."
Everything in the town was in walking distance so we put on our jackets and headed down the the grocery store. When we left the house, Bucky linked his arm with mine, he was really trying to sell it. We picked up some bits and as we were leaving, locked eyes with the bookstore. I looked up at him as we were both thinking the same thing.
"Ah good morning.... You must be new around here. I'm Rachel and that's my husband Ross behind the counter" She pointed at a tall man in a sweater. He was wearing glasses and lifted his hand to give us a small wave.
"Hi I'm Amy and this is my husband Derick." You replied while placing your hand on Bucky's chest. He in return wrapped his arm around your waste. The perfect couple to the eyes of everyone around us but it didn't change the fact that we hated every second of it.
"Well I hope you find what you're looking for, we have many many books for you to chose from."
"Your so nice thank you!" We all know that I am literally as fake as it gets. I mean look at me and Bucky now, holding hands and book shopping.
We both took our time looking around, pull books to see if doors open, search far corners. In the end we pick out some novel, as to not look suspicious and walk to the register.
"Why so many books doll?" Bucky laughed. Did he just call me doll?
"I mean I could always go back and get some more" I joked back at him.
"Alright that will be $27.30" Ross said. He was quite soft spoken, shy. Never would think he was a criminal.
"Here you are"
"Thank you and enjoy your day!" Ross said. We turned to leave but Rachel appeared once more.
"Well aren't you lucky, there's a little town event at the beach this evening, would you come and meet some people."
"Oh most definitely, I'd love to get to know the community!" Bucky responded.
"Great! I'll see you this evening!"
She was oddly cheerful. It just didn't sit right with me for some reason. Her husband was also incredibly shy. He looked threatened by Rachels enthusiast manner. We walked up to the house and spoke of the case, the only chance to do this was outside.
"You get anything from that?" I asked Bucky who was being quiet.
"Nothing, if there at something, there doing a great job hiding it"
"Well lets go back in and pretend to like each other"
We entered the house and put our groceries away and decided to start setting things up. You opened the boxes up that Tony had organised to look like we had moved home. One of the boxes had a bunch of photos of me and Bucky framed. There was a note attached to one of them which was from Nat. It said:
Hey! So me and Wanda have been trying to get you and Buck together for a while. We take photos of you guys sometimes. You can't kill us cause your under cover! We gave them to Tony as a joke and now your using them as your couple photos! See you soon!
-Nat.
I swear that if I was with them, they would pay for that. We finished up the living room and our bedroom, that's right our bedroom. The one that we both had to sleep in. My worst nightmare had come true and I couldn't stop it. I cleaned myself up and put on a flowy blue dress and paired it with your favourite black leather toto bag that you bought to celebrate making the Avengers. You fixed up your hair and make-up and try to put Tonys locket on. You're clearly struggling when Bucky notices you.
"Aw here doll." He flicks your hair forward and clips the locket on for you.
"Thank you babe" He pulls your hair back and kisses your cheek before continuing on with getting ready.
It was time to leave when I notice Bucky. He wasn't in his usual basketball shorts and hoodie, he wore jeans and a simple t-shirt. He also wore that leather jacket Steve got him for his birthday. We left for the beach to meet other people and blend in with the community Tony put us in. The beach was glowing with the light of the bonfire and we arrive just in time to see the sun set over the ocean.
"Well you both made it!" The cheery suspect approached us from behind "Don't the two of you look great!"
"This is amazing Rachel everyone seems so wonderful!"
"Well come on I'll introduce you, Derick my Ross is over there he will introduce you to some people as well"
Before I could say anything, she had already pulled me from Bucky's grasp. He seemed sort of upset to have to part with me but I didn't think much of it. The rest of the night was filled with talking to strangers and every so often we would look over at each other, to insure everything was ok. I mean why else would he be staring at me?
"So Amy," Rachel started to question me "How did you meet Derick?"
"Well we worked together and we used to hate each other"
"Really? I never would have though that"
"Well I decided to leave the job to go back to collage full time and one day he just showed up at my apartment and told me he missed me."
"Wow... How long have you been together?"
"Over three years, it will be four next month. We were married last year and saved up to get that beautiful home.. What about you and Ross"
"Collage. One day after class he just asked me on a date and we have been together ever since"
"I love a collage love story, they are so wholesome! So.. do you both run that darling little book store?
"Well me moved here 4 years ago but Ross's father owned it before hand so we took over after he pasted away"
Lies. I know that they have been here for only 5 months, so she's definitely at something. It was just a matter of figuring out what they were doing.
"We should go find our husbands and see what they are doing!"
It was a sudden change in conversation so I held off on the questions and not to rise suspicion that I didn't need her to have on us. We walked over to Bucky and Ross and did a small bit of chatting before calling it a night. I was freezing and Bucky noticed.
"Are you cold"
"No I'm fine-"
I was cut off by him putting his leather jacket over me. He wrapped his arm around me and I leaned on to him. The rest of the walk home was silent but it was a good silence. We looked up at the stars as we walked and arrived home shortly. I hung his jacket up and thanked him for it. I made my way to the kitchen and he went to the living room.
"Hey doll, wanna watch a movie?"
"Definitely!"
You decided to grab some snacks and make some hot coco for you both to drink.
"Hey what's this for?" He asked me as I handed him a mug.
"That is for giving me your jacket, you must be freezing now!"
"What did I do to deserve you"
He leaned over a kissed you forehead. It was actually really nice having him beside me. He wrapped his arm around me and I snuggled into his chest. In the end, he was too warm and cozy for me and I fell asleep on top of him
