What we become - Part 8
Time is a difficult concept to understand.
Sometimes a night or a day may feel too long and at the same time, years pass you by in a blink.
Making your way through the baggage claim, looking for Nat, it felt like it was just yesterday when you were picking her up, seconds away from that dreadful moment when everything shattered. Your heart bled out right at the airport. Like always, your mind wandered to the sweeter memory you had of the airport, the kiss - a pair of lips you could still feel on yours. Sometimes, when you couldn't sleep at night, you revisited that memory, strangely able to detach it from the harsh truth. It felt like yesterday when those soft lips pressed against yours and at the same time, you felt like you were that girl eons ago. Maybe if your past self walked next to you, you wouldn't even recognize her. You had changed so much, you had grown so much.
Time is indeed a difficult concept to understand.
But looking at the girl, who was barreling towards you at full speed, you knew it had been a really long time.
She smashed into you and crushed you in a bear hug and all you could manage was a muffled 'oof'.
"I missed you peanut" Nat's voice held so much emotion you had a hard time keeping your tears at bay.
"Not as much as I missed you" You leaned back after a deep breath and beamed at her.
Nat was wearing a muted grey sweatshirt and sweats with large sunglasses and a really stupid looking that covering most of her face. Nobody was paying any attention to her and you were really glad about that.
"It's my favourite disguise, works like a charm every time" She said as she hauled your bags up and handed it to a man who appeared out of nowhere and disappeared in the crowd again with your bags.
"This is so weird, you have people picking bags for you" you shook your head and spotted Nat's face in a huge billboard as you existed the airport "Seriously, this is why I have missed you more, your face was plastered everywhere!"
You both got into a waiting SUV and spent the entire ride falling back into the easy rhythm you two shared. Nat and you spoke very frequently on the phone but you both were busy. She was one of the most successful models in the country now and you had made great advancements in your career. She filled you in on the lastest news and gossip about your family and friends.
You were lounging by the pool in your suite, when Nat came back after speaking to her manager who had dropped by.
"You remember Sam Wilson?" Nat asked and you nodded, of course you remembered, he was Steve's friend "I have to attend a launch party for one of his product lines today since I am their brand ambassador and all, we need your dress size"
You quirked an eyebrow " Why do you need my size? I am not wasting my precious vacation hours making small talk with complete strangers"
"Well, you have to come because this has been planned for ages and well... I want you to meet someone"
That got your attention "Natasha..do you mean I finally get to meet your super secret boyfriend mr."pea" that I had to pretend doesn't exist?"
"Yes tha... what?" Nat was surprised. No one knew about it, no one even suspected anything. The paparazzi had nothing on her.
"You can't hide stuff from me babe, we are sisters and well...I still remember your personal email and social media password, you really need to change those '' You squealed as Nat ran after you.
"You little shit, come here"
You spent the rest of the afternoon laughing and drinking expensive liquor.
Both of you were dressed to the nines in glamorous dresses, perfect hair and makeup - thanks to Nat's team of professionals, you didn't even have to lift a finger.
When you looked into the mirror after they were done, you couldn't even recognize yourself. Was that really you? This momentarily distracted you from the bigger worry festering in your heart since Nat announced you were going to the launch party. You knew Sam was friends with James and Steve. There was a high probability you would run into them tonight.
You were sure you had it under control, it had been 5 years since that fateful day, You were not that person anymore. Nat was not that person anymore - she appeared to be unbothered but you knew something had her worried. You didn't bring it up but you felt like it was probably the prospect of seeing James again but being in the same city, you didn't know if Nat had run into him before today. You tried to tamp down your nerves and give yourself some internal pep talk.
You were not a young girl working at the bar anymore, you were so much more.
Steve probably didn't even remember you.
Both statements were proven wrong the moment your eyes met a pair of cerulean blues that you had never truly forgotten.
Steve definitely remembered you if his wide eyes and open mouth were anything to go by.
And you were still that girl, who couldn't look away from the prison of his eyes.
You broke out of your trance when a loud voice greeted Nat.
"There is my sweet pea" the masculine accented voice sounded vaguely familiar.
"Here I am Mr. pea"
PETRO!
MAXIMOFF!
What the hell? Peitro Maximoff is Mr. Pea - or Mr. P now that you think of it.
"Well he is" Peitro was sheepishly smiling at you now and you realized you said the last statement out loud. "Although,your sister has plenty of other names for me but those are usually reserved for a more private setting" he added with an exaggerated wink while Nat smacked him on the chest with a roll of her eyes.
You didn't know how to react to THIS? How could she not tell you? This guy was a douche. He always was. He was only with Nat for publicity. You wanted to drag Nat to a room to scream at her for hours.
But at that very moment, a smiling Wanda along with a happy Sam Wilson and a grumpy James Barnes made their appearance.
"There is my beautiful future sister in law" Wanda was smiling a toothy fake grin at Nat. "Not again Wanda" Pietro and Nat said at the same time and laughed. You eyed her fingers there was no ring. You would have murdered her if she got engaged without telling you. Was this your life? Your sister going from one douche to another?
You looked at James's grumpy face.
And suddenly, everything made sense.
Nat could not have found a better man for herself. What better way to rub it into James face then date his own brother in law? This was epic! You never thought Nat could come up with such a scheme.
You were surprised but also kinda proud.
You tried your best to hide your smirk at James's scowl and glanced at Nat. God! She was playing the part so well, even you were surprised by her skills, she was gazing so lovingly at Peitro who now had his hands in the small of her back and talking animatedly with Wanda.
Nat introduced you to everyone and Pietro gushed about how much your sister loved you and mentioned you all the time.
You smiled politely and kept up the small talk.
Just then, you got a whiff of a cologne which spiked your heartbeat and a second later a throat cleared and the deep voice you were longing to hear rang out.
"Hey guys"
Followed by another voice which your nightmares were made of.
"You looked so beautiful up there Nat" Sharon, still attached to Steve's hip.
"It's Natasha actually" Nat spoke airily. She did not like Sharon, you wondered why.
"Oh my sweetpea really likes her name" Petro was whipped. This was going to be so good.
You were never the bitter kind but being around these people,with all the memories,it just..changed you.
You didn't know if it was a natural pull or your instinct but you made the mistake of looking at Steve again.
You willed your heart to quiet down. He was looking at you as if you were a ghost. He barely blinked and you could hear his broken breaths as his eyes captivated you.
Why was he doing this? He was with Sharon still and he was looking at you like.. that.
A nudge on your elbow from Nat gave you the push you needed. You excused yourself and rushed to find the ladies room.
You needed to get your heartbeat and breathing under control. What was wrong with you? This guy straight up lied to you, on your face, for so long, led you on and here you were falling apart just because he looked at you a certain way.
You really needed to talk to someone. Keeping this all in was definitely driving you nuts.
You decide to come clean to Nat. Maybe it will give you the closure you needed, letting it all out.
You patted your cheeks a few times and turned to open the door of the ladies to go back out when you bumped into Nat.
"You ok?" Nat put a hand on your shoulder and ducked her head a little, forcing you to meet her eyes.
Nope! You couldn't tell her anything. This wasn't important. She and you both had better things to discuss.
"Yea, I just needed to use the ladies for a bit" you tried to sound extra cheery but one look from Nat was enough to tell you that it wasn't working.
"You can tell me if something is bothering you you know" you wanted to squirm under Nat's gaze.
"Pfft.. me? Why would anything bother me? I am great. You know what we should have drinks, I think I saw an open bar" You clasped her hand and dragged her behind you. --------------------------- "Ugh..I think I am dead" you opened your eyes with a groan "Did you let a car drive over me Nat?"
"You know, on several occasions last night, I almost wanted to do exactly that but... well Pietro stopped me" Nat pulled you into a sitting position and pressed 2 pills in your palm and a bottle of water "I didn't know you were such a lightweight"
"Well I usually don't drink so much" you ingested the pills and gulped down the water.
"So why last night? Something is bothering you?" Nat was eying you like THAT again.
You squinted at her and shook your head getting up to go to the bathroom. Did she know anything? Why did she keep saying that?
Nat opened her mouth to say something when her phone went off. She smiled looking at the screen and you slinked away to the bathroom quietly.
Nat was slumped on the bed when you came out of the bathroom
"Pietro has invited us for dinner at his place tonight. Are you ok with that?"
You nodded your head "But no alcohol for me. I have had enough for a week"
Nat hummed "It will be just a small circle of us. I would like for you and Pietro to get to know each other better"
"yeah yeah sure since you will be the future Mrs Maximoff '' you said mockingly and laughed at your own joke and tried to get some more sleep.
In your hungover state, you missed to notice the lack of matching laughter and quizzical expression on Nat's face.
