#everybody loves a rain soaked love confession okay it's classic

[piratefalls]

i can't squeeze out words for a proper episode coda but in a world where i could i'd write a fix-it where tommy gets his romcom happy ending. where it's days after the breakup and he's at home on a rainy night, miserable because he misses buck even though he's convinced he did the right thing. he's watching whatever it is that's currently playing on the hallmark channel, curled up under his softest blanket, when there's a knock on the door. thinking it's maybe eddie come to ask him what the hell's going on, he opens it to find a soaking wet buck on the other side. buck, whose hand is still in the air from where he was poised to knock again, a resolute look in his eye, and it's unfair that even sopping wet he's still the most beautiful thing tommy's ever seen. he's about to ask why he's here, but buck beats him to the punch.

"i reject your breakup," he says through chattering teeth. "now let me in so i can dry off and i can read you my extensive list of reasons why you're wrong. there are multiple categories."

they argue about it right there on the front step until they're both totally soaked through, and finally buck asks him to just stay and to trust that buck will too. and tommy does.

Road trip with you drive me crazy

Prompt: Road Trip

Romanogers Week: Day 1

Natasha travel from Russia to New York to surprise her boyfriend Bruce. But her flight cancel due to bad weather. Inspired by Movie Leap Year.

Red hair women in Dior coat walk in small bar near the unknown village. She was soaking wet. As she come in everyone stare at her suspiciously. As she understands she was a stranger to them and obviously not belongs there.

 “Excuse me I want to ask if anyone can direct me to the nearest hotel?”

 Silence

 “So anyone here can help me to call a taxi driver? “

 A few old men just staring at her. A bar tender move from his spot and handed her business a card.  He is about 6 feet, have massive biceps and broad shoulder. A messy blonde hair with a beard.  

“Oh thank you.”

She trying to dial the number but unfortunately her phone is dead. Then one of the old men pointing at the old public phone near the seat.

“Thank you”

“Hello”

“Hello”

“Can you drive me to New York now? I`m in a bar name umm…. Spangle Star?” She actually laughing at that name

“I’m not driving a red hair New Yorker.”

“What do you mean red hair?”

Then everybody laughs. She looks around and finds out that the taxi driver is indeed the bar tender itself that pick up a phone as he smile sheepishly.

She feels very embarrassing  

“I want you to drive me to New York for 500 dollar”

“No. I won’t. New York full of liars and snakes”

“Ok. Then anyone can politely direct me to the nearest hotel”

“Of course this is also a hotel. Is there any room I can stay?”

So the man directs her to upstairs. It`s a small room with a single bed and a wooden cupboard.  She can’t complain much as this is the only option she has.

“So consider this as your generosity, is there any food? I noticed there is menu at the bar”

“It’s closed”

“Ok so consider for your good nature…”

“I will make you a sandwich”

“Thank you”

He didn`t say anything as he close the door.

She tries to find any socket to charge her phone. She found one under the bed. As she plug in, suddenly the light go out. Actually the whole village black out. The man come upstairs and opens the door.

“What the hell are you doing?”

“Well my phone went fried”

“Did you realize you fried the whole village?”

“Well I need my phone! Who goes to replace now?”

He was irritated by her

“Idiot”

“Ass hole”

She can see him clearly. He had deep blue eyes with ridiculous long lashes. The blue eyes staring at her. But she won’t bow down to him. Never

“You just here a few hours and you cost me a hundred dollar”

“How about my I phone? This is cost a thousand dollar!”

“I don`t care”

“Well screw you!”

She never felt so angry to a stranger. So just pull her suit case and walk out.

She never feels so angry with man she just met a few hours.

“Ma`am. Your sandwich”

“No I don’t need that”

“You hungry remember?”

“Leave me alone!”

She don`t know where to go and nobody to contact. She really hopes Bruce is here, he will comfort her.  She is willing to travel miles to see him. And is actually her foul that she wants to surprise him. Bruce is a nice guy. He is a doctor, they been together for 4 years. But he not proposes yet.  

So she just walk out and pulling her suitcase she don`t care even her heels killing her. She can`t stand him. Why he is so rude?

“An Idiot. Stupid so stupid”

She keep walking until she can`t anymore and its getting dark. She is sitting on the chairs outside of a old church. Until a blue van stop just in front of the church.

“Hey baby. Do you need a ride? That suit case looks heavy. Let me help you.”

There are 3 men look like they got bad intention. She says no.

“No thank you. I`m fine” She pulling her suit case and walk.

The van keep follow her. She knows what she needs to do now.

“Stop following me!” The man with a red shirt pulling her wrist.  She slaps him.

“I love this kind of lady. Ruthless and bad ass. I`m going to make you scream”

Other man grabbing her waist from behind. She screaming and manage to kick the man on the crotch. The man screaming painfully and try to kiss her lips. She shut her eyes. Until that man was screaming again.

There is a man punch the guy and manage to throw the other two like nothing. Then she realized in the dark the man is him. He is the owner of the bar.

She saw all three men get into their van and left.

She hates him, but she feels grateful that he was here.

“Are you ok ma`am?”

“I`m fine. But my feet are hurt.”

“I`m sorry about what I said earlier”

He looks like he saying it honestly.

“I just that…you remind me of someone”

She swear that he look sad for a while. But then unexpectedly he carries her to his car like a bride. Surprisingly she let him. Maybe because she feel safe or because he is a handsome stranger. Well she admits that there is something about him that makes him interesting.

His car by the way is the worst ride she ever had in her life. A red car with a weird loud engine and little shacking.

“It`s classic”

She nodded

There is an uncomfortable silence between them. He plays a country music, well that she never likes.

“Where are you taking me?”

“New York”

“I thought you hate New York”

“Well you said 500 dollars is it?”

“What is your name?”

“Steve”

“I`m Natasha”

“What are you doing here?”

“My flight was cancel due to bad weather. I ride a boat until they drop me here”

“So do you have an important business in New York?”

She smiles “Yeah I want to surprise my boyfriend.”

He chuckle

“What are you judging me?”

“I did not say anything”

“Why do you hate New York?”

His expression suddenly changes.

“I don`t think it`s your business”

Her face turns red.

“Fine. I pay you to drive not to talk”

Suddenly rain coming back.

“We need to stop”

“No keep going. I have to arrive before tomorrow. I need to buy a shoe, and a dress.”

Steve looking at her like she`s a crazy person.

“The storm is bad. We won’t make it. It`s dangerous”

“No you don`t understand. I had a tight schedule”

Steve shakes his head. He never thought he will have a road trip with an insane person.

Until the storm suddenly hit tree and fall down just in front of them.

“The road is closed”

“Well you move the tree and we continue with our journey”

“Are you nuts? Can see you how big the tree is?”

“Well I just go walk by myself” She open the door and step out.

Steve just stays in the car and cannot believe what he just sees.

Natasha walks with her 600 dollar Jimmy Chou Shoes without looking back. Until she missteps and fall to the ground. Unfortunately her face hit the ground first. And she heard the footsteps behind, she knows who it is.

“You are complete idiot”

Fortunately they found a home where a nice couple invites them inside.

“We only had one room”

“Oh perfect. We married” Steve smile sheepishly as he cuddle her.

Natasha wants to say something. But Steve immediately drags her to the room upstairs.

“Let me go!” Natasha tried to push him away as they arrive in their bed room.

“What? They only had one bed?”

“I`m not going to share bed with you!”

“Well perfect. Because you can sleep in the shower”

Natasha eyes widened.

“I`m going to take shower”

Steve immediately run to the shower and take off his shirt. Natasha tries not looking at his gorgeous 6 packs.

After the shower Steve cooks a dinner for them and the couple. They talk about marriage and everything.

Before they went to sleep, Natasha immediately take her spot on the left side of the bed. And suddenly Steve did something she did not expect at all. He takes the pillow and sleep on the floor.  

“What are you doing?”

“Just go to sleep”

“You can sleep here”

“I can sleep anywhere”

“Thank you”

“For what?”

“For saving me”

“They deserve it”

“What was he like?”

“Who?”

“Your boyfriend. He must be very special”

“Well he nice and he is a doctor”

“And?”

“We are perfect for each other”

“Okay”

“You judging me again”

“No not really”

“I think his going to propose me. I saw him walk out from Tiffany. Well man goes there for one reason”

“So you travel miles for that?”

“He said I have to dress nicely and take me to nice dinner after he come back to Russia. So I can`t wait anymore and looking for him right away”

Steve laughing

“Why are you laughing?”

“You don`t know yet if he wants to propose or not. He clearly don`t want to get married. If he wants to he did already”

“You know nothing about me and Bruce!”

“Even worse you guys aren`t love each other. It`s call compromised”

“What do you know about love? You clearly alone and have no purpose in life! All you had is the bar that going to bankrupt in no time!”

“You don`t know that! How much I put everything for my bar! What`s wrong if I lived in small town and not wearing designer clothes! Or had an expensive suit case?? It`s life!”

“That`s why she leaving you isn`t it? The blonde women in the photo? You should be alone! Nobody wants to be with you!”

Steve gets up from a floor and Natasha did the same thing. They come closer to each other. He looks extremely mad. Nat will fight him with the tooth and nail.

“It`s not you damn business!” He shouting

“I`m done with you! Why can`t you say anything good or anything nice??” She pokes her finger at his chest.  “You arrogant ! rude! asshole! Bastard!” Suddenly she was pushed the wall. Their face we inches from each other. The blue eyes meet the green eyes.

“The bar was her idea and we working on it together. But she had other purpose in her life and move to New York to open her own bar, but that`s just an excuse. Because she in love with my best friend this whole time. We are buddies since we were kids” He held her face and his eyes went dark. “Stop acting like you know what is going on” She was shock by the confession and he continue. “Tomorrow I`m going to take you the train station. First thing in the morning. Because I cannot deal with an insane person anymore. You are the reason why we stuck here.” He released her and went to sleep.

She felt guilty and feel sorry for him. She feels jealous of him. Because she never felt that kind of love. It`s obviously he so in love with the blonde women. He was heartbroken and his eyes show the emotion when she mention about her. She never felt that with Bruce, or feel anything whenever someone mentions her ex name. Maybe he was right. She knows nothing about love.

The next morning Steve wakes up with the red hair women sleep next to him. She put her arms around his waist and sleeps peacefully. There is one moment he looks at her face. He can see her face clearly. His heart beating faster, he never felt this way for a long time. Her flawless skin, creamy neck, and her full lips. God. She is beautiful.  He remembers the first time he saw her walk in his bar. There is something about her make him drawn to. He removed her hair from her face and come closer to her lips. Her lips feel so soft.

Natasha gets into the car. She don`t want to say anything because she don `t want to make him angry. Because every time they open their mouth they will fight. He surprising look calm. She saw the train station but he did not stop.

“Where are you taking me?”

“New York”

“But last night….”

“Hey I promised remember? Deal is a deal”

They arrive at the New York. Nat call Bruce by public phone. He was surprise that she was here. They will meet at his hotel. And is time to say goodbye.

“Can I ask you something?”

“Why you slept beside me last night?”

“Because you having a nightmare”

“What?”

“You don`t remember? I hear you shouting, and then I come and hug you until you stop shaking”

Steve was shock.

“You really surprise me. You are an interesting women I ever met Natasha..”

“Romanoff”

“Rogers”

Then they just look at each other and laughing.

“I`m sorry for my ungentlemanly”

“Really? Is that the correct words?” They laughing again

“Well Bruce will be here any minutes”

Steve realized now the reality. It`s hurt him. He did not know why.

Natasha felt it was hard for her to say goodbye.

“Here we are” They arrived at in front of the hotel.

Steve and Natasha look at each other.

“Oh sorry I forgot” She handled him money.

“No is all right” he rejected

“Steve you need this and I pay you remember? This probably will help with your bar”

“No I will be fine”

“Steve”  He looking at her. She knows he is going to say something.

“Well I....Well good luck” and he walk away.

But then he turns back and pulls her into his arm and kisses her hard. Natasha could not stop herself. She kiss him back and doesn`t want to let go. She never has been kiss like this. Bruce never kisses her like this. She feels her heart stop. Then he let go. And look at her for the last time. And walk away.

Steve continues with his life and manages to collect money by himself and successfully saving his bar. But he never forgets the day he met the red hair women who change his life. One day his bar was full of people and there was a women asking for him. Saying she needs a ride to New York. He thinks that some kind of jokes. Until he see her.

A red hair woman.

Natasha

“Well Steve Rogers. I come here to asking if you feel the same way about me. Because every night I was dreaming about you and your kisses haunting me. I can`t forget about you. Apparently you were right I know nothing about love. Until you show me how”

“Natasha nothing here fits you. Trust me you don`t want any of this. This life. My life”

“What I need is here. What I need is you” Everyone inside the bar say awwww

People are cheering when they kiss.
