Carol's POV

Peggy was still asleep so I decided to surprise her and cook her breakfast for once.

Some months passed since when we discivered to be in love and I had never been that happy!

While the eggs were cooking I checked at my phone finding a message from the last person I could think of.

From: Nat
Hi Carol! I am sorry for have been away all of these years but I understood only now how stupid I have been! I really miss you! I am going to be in New York in the next days, can we meet? Please <3
Я люблю тебя

Nat was my ex, I met her during my travel in Russia and we fell in love very quickly. Then I had to come back to US and she hated me for that because she wasn't ready to leave Russia and I didn't want to move there.

And now she texted me.

There was one thing in my head: Peggy. What was I going to do?

To: Nat
But only once. Meet you today at 4 pm at Starbucks in Times Square.

-Who is that?- a voice came from behind me.

In locked my phone and when I turned I saw Peggy.

-Oh nothing, just call centers that want to sell things- I said trying to look annoyed.

-Oh I hate that- she said kissing me -But I love the fact that you cooked breakfast for once-.

I smiled and kissed her.

She didn't have to know about Nat, not now and never had to.

That afternoon I was nervous. Like super nervous.

Ok I was dying inside, I admit it.

When I saw her my heart lost a beat: she was even more beautiful than what I rembered.

-Hi...- she said.

Oh God her voice...

-Hi...- I said.

We entered the café and ordered something to drink.

-I am sorry, I... I was so stupid- Nat said -When you left I met this girl, her name is Wanda, and we were good together, but... She is dying, she had an accident and she is dying. Doctor say that it is almost impossible that she is going to wake up. I... I knew I could count on you, I needed... I needed someone that I can trust-.

And she started crying.

I... I wasn't expecting this, I admit it. She didn't deserve it.

-Oh God I am so sorry- I said.

I took her hands in mine and tried to calm her.

She showed me her hand and I noticed there was a ring on one finger.

-We were going to get married- she said -I... I love her so much, why is this happening to me??-.

She kept crying and telling me about her.

-"My Black Widow" this is how she called me- she said.

-Hey hey, it's ok. I don't know her but I know that she won't leave you alone. And I am here, ok? I am here- I said.

She nodded, trying to stop crying.

This was a big mess. Very big. And I was in the middle.

Did I still love Nat?
