Bucky watched as she explained which fruits where her best sellers, he smiled watching how her face lit up talking about her produce. It was cute. He chuckled , she was very talkative something he wasn’t. At least not since 1945. Which was completely understandable he has gone through so much over the last six or eight decades. He smiled, “you can just call me Bucky that’s fine, just a name my best friend would call me..” this was too much information to give out. He could just listen to Madeleine talk all day, she had a very nice voice, very friendly tone. He has been living in Vienna for the last few years and he’s never encounter someone with such spirit. She seemed like a very sweet and caring woman. Of course he wasn’t assuming but that was the vibe Bucky was getting. He let his guard down for the first time in a while.
Bucky smiled wide as she continue to talk, this time his smile reached his eyes which was something he didn’t really do anymore. This was one of his most genuine smiles, since well, Steve. What the hell? What did he have to lose? “You know, I think I would like that very much, you seem very lovely an I would very much like to her to know you..” he didn’t mean for that to slip out. “I’m sorry I hope I’m not being weird, I just haven’t really met people. and I’ve lived here almost two years..”
Sam shook his head, “I was trying to do you a favor, Steve I understand why. He’s too busy: you on the other hand—“ Annie cut him off, “Sam, I’m fine. Really, I have my cats you know.” She laughed. He rolled his eyes, taking a bite out of her brownie, “Hmm.. Steve you should eat one of these they’re a piece of heaven” he offered. Annie laughed, “he loves me because I give him free baked goods, i have my own little shop a couple blocks from here, I’d like to think I can bake pretty well.” She nodded listening to Steve “I mean dating has gotten weird and more dangerous. I hear horror stories and maybe I’m being too paranoid but I rather not put myself in that situation. I’m just making excuses..”
Annie sighed softly, “I have never been too good at dating either so don’t feel bad, and Sam’s always teasing me. ‘’why is such a pretty girl so bad at dating’ “ because Sammy. I repeal men. It’s what I do” she laughed. “I think most men that I have met don’t like that I’m successful and independent .. like they want a damsel and that’s just not me.!i like to do things my own way and pay for my own stuff. I’m too modern I guess .” Sam shook his head “she’s pretty awkward, and a bad flirt that’s probably why” he teased. Annie shoved him, her cheeks turning a bright pink “I’m sorry we all can’t be smooth like you.”
