Tech Talk (StevexReader) Part 4

You were practically running around your apartment, trying to figure out what to wear. Clothes had been thrown everywhere as well as shoes. You even had a bra hanging over one of your lamps. You knew you needed to get your apartment fixed quick before Steve arrived. You finally settled on wearing a navy blue dress that had a sweetheart neckline and was strapless; it also was ruffled at the bottom and reached your knees. You wore a matching pair of dark blue high heels and had on some pearl earrings and necklace. Your hair was styled just for the occasion, your (h/c) locks falling gently down your face and away from your eyes. You gathered up all the clothing on the floor quickly and just in time too since Steve had ringed your doorbell. 

You fixed yourself up in the hallway mirror before opening the door. When you did, you blushed instantly. Steve looked handsome in his white dress shirt and black pants with matching black dress shoes. He looked at you sheepishly as he handed you a blue rose. Funny since you were dressed in blue.

"Aw thanks Steve," You smiled sweetly at him. 

"No problem m'am, I, uh, mean (Name)," He blushed strawberry red. "Can I just say that you look stunning? Because you do.."

"T-Thank you," You stammered nervously. "You look handsome tonight. Shall we get going?"

He extended his arm out for you to take. "Yes, let's go."

You took it and kept the blue rose with you the entire time.

~~~~~Time Skip~~~~~

   The restaurant that you were in was certainly fancy. Towards the back they had a man playing the piano as well as a woman who was playing the violin and another woman singing the song, "I want to be loved by you." You smiled as you listened to the song, thinking about Marilyn Monroe and how it was such a shame that she had gone the way she did. You shook the dark thoughts out of your head and focused on something more important: Steve.

He had his menu in front of his face but you sometimes saw him peek above it so that he could look at you. It made you smile and when both your eyes met, well it made him blush in a way you never saw before. This evening was turning about to beyond what you had hoped you and it just started! 

After the waiter took your orders, Steve looked at you bashfully. He was probably not sure of what to say. He quickly thought of something since he said, "I know I've said it before but thank you (Name) for helping me out these past few days. I really appreciate it."

You reached across the table and took his hand in yours, giving it a gentle squeeze. "It's no problem, Steve. I'm happy that I've been able to teach you as well as grow closer to you. Really, it's no big deal." 

He smiled when he heard your kind words. "I don't know why it took me so long to ask you out. Stark was right....I was too chicken to do it."

You laughed, the sound making Steve blush even harder. "It's alright Steve. I admit I would be nervous as well since well...." You trailed off, removing your hand from his and casting your gaze to the woman that was singing. 

"Well what?" Steve asked with hopeful eyes that were trying to capture your gaze.

You shook your head, a faint smile on your lips. "Oh...oh nothing. Let's enjoy this night."

    You saw how defeated Steve looked and you really wanted to tell him but what if he didn't return your feelings? The last thing you wanted was to be rejected by the super soldier. He was so kind and sweet to you. You didn't want to ruin your friendship with him. Thankfully the food came and that made a new topic come up as you both ranted about how you hated sparkling water. It was like devil's drink; you swore it! Steve laughed at all the jokes you had made and the night was truly wonderful. You were sad when you both had to leave. You took your blue rose and brought it up to your nose and smelled the wonderful scent it gave off. 

You jumped slightly in surprise when Steve grabbed your hand when you both left the restaurant. He looked at you timidly but took a deep breath before speaking. His hand went to his pockets and he pulled out his cellphone. You looked at him curiously as he began to type something on it.

"To prove to you that I have learned a lot, I want to show you something," He said nervously. He showed you what he had written on the phone and looked away embarrassed as you read it:

You gasped, your hands flying to your mouth when you read it, the rose hitting your lips a bit. You couldn't believe it! Steve actually liked you back!

Instead of saying something, you decided to do something and threw your arms around his neck and brought his lips to yours in a passionate kiss. 

"Of course I will," You grinned.

"You have no idea how happy I am to hear that," He smiled before kissing you once more. 

You thought that you would have to thank Fury a thousand times later for giving you the job of teaching Steve everything. Oh how happy you were.
