Let Us Live Like Flowers, Chapter 2

Pairing: Bucky Barnes x reader

Warnings: Some angst, fluff, adoption, violence and alcoholism.

Author note: I am so so so so so sorry for the delay, I had been working on my thesis and my graduation and everything has been a mess, buuut here it is, I hope you like it.

Nat’s and Y/N’s foster parents are based in Elizabeth and Peter Burke from White Collar.

Masterlist

Chapter 1

September, 1990; Brooklyn, NY.

“Why can’t I go with you?” You pout jumping into your sister’s bed, holding onto the white stuffed bunny your foster parents gave you the day they officially adopted you when you were three; tomorrow will be your first day in an actual school, and to be honest your nerves are getting the best of you, this will be a completely new experience and without your sister by your side, you are not sure you will make it.

“Because I am older than you, I’m going to third grade and you are going to first.” She replies simply.

“But I wanna go with you Nat, I don't know anyone in this school.”

“I know you are worried solnyshko but you will make friends, and we will still be together during recess and when we come back we’ll go together to the swings.” Nat sits by your side and holds your hand. “School is fun, I promise.”

“Pinky promise?” You ask, holding out your pinky finger, Nat mirrors your action and locks her finger with yours.

“Pinky promise.”

Out of the sudden Nat’s bedroom door opens making both of you jump in the bed.

“I thought I told you two to go to sleep one hour ago.” Your foster mother is standing on the threshold looking at you with one eyebrow raised, Nat and you share a look and start giggling nervously. “Come on Y/N, is time to go to bed, you have a big day tomorrow and you have to be well rested.”

Your mother extends an arm indicating you to join her, you jump down from Nat’s bed, put in you blue bunny slippers and drag your feet towards your mother, when you get to her she kisses your forehead and hugs you.

“Can we have five more minutes?”

“No bunny, it’s already past your bedtime and you both have to wake up early tomorrow.” She holds your hand and smiles at both you and your sister.“I’ll be back to tuck you in, I want pjs on and teeth brushed, deal?”

“Yes El- mom.” Natasha gives you a small smile and sighs. “Good night Y/N.”

“Night Nat.” You return her smile and follow your mom down the hall, when you reach your bedroom the door is open, the walls are painted on a soft pink and the bed is abandoned, all the blankets and stuffed animals are crumbled on a corner.

Elizabeth smiles at you, and strokes your hair with love.

This is the best foster home you have been in, Elizabeth and Peter are warm and caring, and they sincerely care about you and Nat; who came in only a few months before you.

She tucks you in the bed and places your bunny on your hands.

“Are you nervous?” She asks, sitting by your side in the bed, you just answer with a simple nod. “Because I was.”

“You where?” It’s a little surprising, you’ve always thought of her like the kind of person that never gets affected by anything, she is always happy.

“Oh yes.” She answers and tucks is a loose strand of hair behind your ear and gives you a reassuring smile. “I was terrified, but you know what?”

You nod with your head and she keeps talking.

“I had no reason to be, you see, it sounds a bit scary but it’s actually really nice; besides you have an advantage that I didn’t have.”

“What?”

“You have your sister, and she is going to be with you, you will never be alone, and I assure you that all the kids in your classroom will be nervous, it’s a new experience but I am sure you will be alright.”

“Okay.”

She gives you the last goodnight and leaves, leaving the door closed and the lights turned off behind her.

You wait until the hall lights are off and there is no more noise or movement that could indicate that your parents are still awake and you bolt out of your room; bunny in one hand, blanket in the other; praying to not be eaten by anything that could be lurking in the darkness, when you open Nat’s door she is covered with her blankets up to the ears, you can barely see her fiery red hair, and her steady breath makes you think that she may already be asleep.

After closing the door, you tiptoe to her bed and crawl into it.

“Nat, Nat.” You whisper, shaking your sister’s shoulder softly trying to wake her up.

She stirs slowly and with a smile she lifts the blankets, making space for you next to her.

“Sweet dreams solnyshko.”

You fall asleep right after.

***

“I am going to be here to pick you right after school, okay?” You nod as you fiddle with the hem of your skirt, Nat takes your hand and gives you a reassuring smile. “You are going to have a great time I promise.”

She kisses your cheek and then Nat’s.

“Bye girls, I love you.”

You both wave goodbyes, and then your sister leads you into the school.

“Come on, y/n, lets go.”

She leaves you in your classroom with the promise that she will see you at recess.

The classroom is colorful and every single inch is decorated, there are only a couple kids on their desk, the one that wins your attention is the skinny blonde one that shifts nervously on his place.

“Hi, I’m y/n.” You say shyly.

“Steve.” He answers with a soft smile on his lips.

That simple interaction marks the beginning of a friendship that would last for a lifetime.

School proves to be better than expected, your teacher is a nice woman that sings and plays, and makes everyone feel confident.

At recess, as promised, Nat picks you up at your classroom and it turns out that Steve was the best friend of one of hers, a nice boy with soft blue eyes and a warm smile.

After the day finishes Elle picks you up, and Nat takes you to the swings.

“I bet I can get higher than you.” You challenge her.

“No way.”

After an afternoon of laughs you both end laughing on the grass.

“Nat?”

“Yeah?”

“Do you promise we will always be together?”

“I promise.”

***

June 2019; Manhattan, NY.

There’s a closed bottle of vodka in front of her and she fiddles with her AA chip.

It’s been an hour since she hung up the phone.

There’s a body.

With your clothes.

And your hair.

And the missing poster she made.

The missing poster where she used a picture of the last birthday she spent with you.

The picture where you used your favorite yellow dress, and you had that bright smile so characteristic of yours.

The picture she keeps on her nightstand, and lights up a candle to every night.

She should open the bottle.

One sip won’t hurt.

It would numb the pain.

One sip.

Just one sip and everything would go away.

It’s the chip, the stupid chip and your stupid smile she will never fucking see again.

Someone took you, and destroyed you.

Someone killed his baby sister.

Someone let her have hope for years.

Someone left her alone.

She should get to drink every single bottle in a liquor store.

The knock on the door stops her, she doesn’t want to open, she’s not in the mood to see anyone, they can go to hell.

The knock doesn’t stop and a thought hits her.

Bucky.

She runs to the door and he is there, eyes bloodshot red and every single part of him is shaking.

His legs give in and she catches him before he hit the floor.

They took you from them, and the pain will last forever.

A/N: I hope you guys liked it, if you want to be tagged dm me or leave a comment, have a lovely day 💕

Bath & Body Works’ sales are soaring — we visited a store to see why, Defence Online

Bath & Body Works’ sales are soaring.

source

Bethany Biron/Defence Online

Though L Brands is mired in slumping sales due to falling perception of its Victoria’s Secret brand, Bath & Body Works continues to shine.

Bath & Body Works continues to report strong earnings, effectively carrying the struggling L Brands. The personal-goods retailer has found success by playing to the power of nostalgia while staying relevant with updated stores and new product tests.

We visited one of three Bath & Body Works locations in Manhattan to see what it’s doing right.

As L Brands struggles to revitalize its ailing Victoria’s Secret brand, Bath & Body Works proves it has enduring appeal.

Best known for its bountiful selection of personal care and bath products, Bath & Body Works has established itself as a bright spot for its parent company. The brand posted a 13% increase in same-store sales in the first quarter of 2019, while sales at Victoria’s Secret’s stores declined by 5%. Thanks in part to the success of Bath & Body Works, L Brands reported a net income of $40.3 million for the quarter, more than three times the value estimated by analysts.

Investors have started pressuring L Brands to split Bath & Body Works from the struggling lingerie company. In March, hedge fund Barington Capital sent a lengthy letter to L Brands CEO Les Wexner arguing its point for a spinoff, taking a page from the playbook of Gap Inc.’s recent decision to make Old Navy a standalone company.

In the meantime, L Brands made pointed efforts to offset its losses by selling La Senza and closing its high-fashion brand, Henri Bendel. Still, the company’s “performance continues to be mixed,” L Brands CFO Stuart Burgdoerfer said on the investor call in May.

We visited a Bath & Body Works store in Manhattan’s Flatiron District to see what’s helping set the retailer apart:

The Flatiron Bath & Body Works is one of three locations in Manhattan, and it was bustling with shoppers at 11 a.m. on a Monday. Bath & Body Works is one of the largest personal care and home goods retailers in the world, with more than 1,600 stores.

Though the first store opened in Cambridge, Massachusetts, Bath & Body Works was founded and is headquartered in New Albany, Ohio. We found a small display honoring its hometown.

Since its conception in 1990, the retailer has worked to maintain a wholesome image, effectively becoming “America’s sweetheart of beauty brands.” Its marketing and store design are very intentional, with smatterings of gingham, wooden barrels, and other nods to “country living.”

Bath & Body Works has developed a rabid following over the past three decades. Today there are fan blogs and YouTube accounts dedicated to sharing new products.

Even celebrities like Rumer Willis can’t get enough of Bath & Body Works. The actress was spotted browsing candles at a store in Los Angeles in 2010.

Bath & Body Works has worked to establish loyalty with its core consumer base of millennial women thanks to a product assortment that blends nostalgic items with updated seasonal offerings.

source

The store we visited also had plenty of fun, whimsical items perfectly fit for a children’s gift.

source

At the same time, Bath & Body Works has expanded its inventory to attract new demographics, including men. At the Flatiron store, we found a collection of men’s bath and shaving products strategically marketed for Father’s Day.

source

In recent years, Bath & Body Works has found particular success with its White Barn Shop concept, which focuses on candles and air fresheners.

source

Bethany Biron/Defence Online

The company continues to invest heavily in White Barn and often runs popular promotions like “3-for-1” deals on candles. Executives said on an earnings call earlier this month that they have 200 White Barn projects planned for the rest of 2019.

Source: USA Today

The White Barn collection really goes all-in on seasonal products, including new scents like “Island Reef” and “Suntan.”

source

Bethany Biron/Defence Online

In addition to classic scents like vanilla, Bath & Body Works sells a vast collection of quirky, off-the-beaten-path candle fragrances. Here are a few of the more obscure ones we found at the Manhattan store.

Looking for something a bit cosmopolitan? Spring for some eau de San Francisco.

source

Bethany Biron/Defence Online

Still unclear what it’s supposed to smell like.

Can’t say we’ve ever had a berry waffle cone, but we wouldn’t mind eating one after smelling this.

source

Bethany Biron/Defence Online

They even have special occasion candles for all your sentimental needs.

source

Bethany Biron/Defence Online

Part of Bath & Body Work’s continued success is its investment in store design and remodeling, which has brought a breath of fresh air to the brand.

source

Bethany Biron/Defence Online

The Manhattan store was brightly colored and well-lit, with flowers lining the displays.

Elements of the store felt like being in a time capsule, like the sink where shoppers could test products — an integral part of the brand’s early ’90s stores.

source

Bethany Biron/Defence Online

Children of the ’90s will also be delighted to find the occasional classic scent, like this cucumber melon hand sanitizer …

source

Bethany Biron/Defence Online

… and this Sweet Pea lotion.

source

Bethany Biron/Defence Online

However, as we all know, some products were simply just too good to last, like the Bath & Body Works Art Stuff line.

source

Poshmark

The collection, which was popular in the late ’90s and early aughts before it was discontinued, has inspired many an ode. You can also occasionally find the original products on resale sites, though they go quickly.

Meanwhile, over on eBay you can snag some OG Art Stuff for a cool $27.30.

source

eBay

Still, Bath & Body Works isn’t afraid to test new scents. Its latest Gingham line has been a surprise hit, which executives have credited to its “sophisticated” appeal.

source

Ultimately, Bath & Body Works has become the rare retailer that consistently draws a stream of loyal customers to its brick-and-mortar stores.

10 Home Decorating Trends To Retire In 2019

As the new year approaches, plenty of homeowners look for ways to refresh their spaces to keep them feeling interesting and updated.

If you’re preparing to put a place on the market, keeping up with trends is key because unless your prospective buyers are flippers, stagers, or redecorating fiends, nothing can make would-be buyers turn tail faster than some outdated decor.

Check out these once-popular home decor trends that are being shown the door, and find out what’s replacing them in the months ahead.

1. Rose gold loses its luster

2. Goodbye, granite counters

A post shared by Magnotti & Son, Inc. (@magnottistoneandgranite) on Oct 15, 2018 at 12:48pm PDT

Granite had a great run in the 1990s and 2000s, but this kitchen staple is being replaced by quartz, which is considered virtually indestructible. So, go ahead, set those hot plates down and don’t worry about a thing. Since granite is porous, it has the potential to trap bacteria if not cared for correctly. Removing that concern is a welcome relief in arguably the busiest room in the house.

3. Sunsetting nautical motifs

You’d think something as classic as navy and white could never go out of style, but when it comes to nautical-themed decor, that ship is sinking. Fast. Even when designing a beach house, experts are putting those sailboats, shells, and starfish out to sea and letting a mix of bold blues blend for a less-is-more aesthetic.

4. Bye-bye, Edison bulbs

A post shared by McDowell Design Co. (@mcdowelldesignco) on Oct 15, 2018 at 7:50pm PDT

Edison bulbs were a bright light on the decor scene from 2015 on, but their popularity is definitely dimming. Is it any wonder? It’s only so long you can stand to look at an exposed bulb. (Sorry, Edison.) Also, the trend was most often incorporated in industrial motifs, which are also on the way out, by the way.

All-white kitchens were all the rage. If there’s a room in the home that should appear as clean as can be, it’s definitely the kitchen. But as people spend more and more time in this space, often dubbed “the heart of the home,” they’re longing for a look that’s warmer and more reflective of their personalities. Prepare to see bright, bold kitchens, complete with colorful appliances, to be in vogue for the next few years.

7. Questioning the wisdom of word art

A post shared by HobbyLobbyHappy (@hobbylobbyhappy) on Apr 29, 2018 at 9:35am PDT

Designers suggest homeowners look beyond their walls for inspiration and motivation. If you want your walls to make a statement, decorators suggest the use of wallpaper or hand-painted murals.

8. Barn doors, you’re back out in the cold

View this post on Instagram

Since the majority of tiny homes are narrow, #BarnDoors are a wonderful way to save space! You won't be taking up any extra room with a door, since these slide right against the wall! Who loves barn doors? We love the color of this one as well! #AmericanTinyHomes

A post shared by American Tiny Homes, LLC (@americantinyhomes) on Sep 11, 2018 at 6:52am PDT

There’s no debating it, barn doors had a moment. Adding them to bathrooms or closets brought the rustic charm of the country indoors, no matter your locale. But, as farmhouse-chic style wanes, barn doors are being put out to pasture.

9. Chevron prints are no longer on point

View this post on Instagram

A room refresh, and I love the bold, Chevron pattern accent with a sassy, chic pink throw pillow and a touch of gold. The simple floral statement adds the kiss of charm! Embrace those patterns and add a touch of sassy! ?? inspire you#lemonspluslife #roomredo #decoratemyspace #chevronpattern #homedecorating #interiordesigner #homedecorblogger

A post shared by Lemons Plus Life (@lemonspluslife) on Sep 13, 2018 at 7:35am PDT

Chevron prints were all the rage for a while there, appearing on everything from clothing to wallpaper. But this pattern has been overdone. Replacing it are geometric shapes and tropical prints.

10. Shiplap gets docked

View this post on Instagram

I got this rug originally for my living room but it felt so busy with the Christmas tree and decor, so I moved it to my dinning room and I’m in LOVE! (See my stories) Now I need a rug for my living room still lol . . Rug from @homedynamix #dinningroomdecor #sponsored #arearugs #modernfarmhouse

A post shared by Jamie (@homeofuandme) on Dec 15, 2018 at 10:43am PST

Wood on the walls peaked for a few years. It’s time to pack up that paneling and move on. As farmhouse decor loses its appeal, it’s no surprise this trend is starting to feel outdated.
