CHAPTER 26
"HOW STUPID COULD YOU BE?"
Jacqueline stood in Fury's office, her hands behind her back, staring at the floor. Steve stood next to her, head straight as he watched Fury rant,
"We were just trying to-"
"To what?" Fury turned to look at them, "To play cop? It wasn't your job to arrest those guys. You brought attention to yourself, attention to her." He pointed at Jacq and she lifted her head, "It's not what she needs right now."
"Not what she needs?" Steve scoffed, "She did great out there. She's stronger than you think."
"I know she's strong. It's what she does with that strength that concerns me." Fury replied,
"How about we don't talk about her like she's not in the room." Jacqueline glared and stepped forward, "I kicked ass in there. And I was under control the entire time. You may think I'm a ticking time bomb, but I'm not. I just needed guidance and you gave that to me."
Fury stared at her for a long moment, "Get out of here." The two let out a small sigh of relief, "And be prepared to use that guidance tomorrow."
The two stepped into the elevator and Jacq smirked up at him, "Let's get out of here."
It wasn't long before they ended up at Steve's apartment. Jacqueline walked over to the fridge, grabbing a bottle of water from the shelf.
Just as she closed the door, Steve wrapped his arms around her waist, "Steve!" She squealed,
He set her down on top of the counter, "Don't listen to him." Steve muttered, leaning in to kiss her.
Jacq pulled away after a moment, "Don't talk about Fury while we're in this position." She pulled him back in for a kiss before there was a knock on the door,
Steve groaned and leaned his forehead on her shoulder, "That came way too fast."
He went to go get the takeaway while Jacqueline put a movie into the DVD player, which Steve still had issues using.
She pressed play just as Steve brought the Chinese food over, "Another Disney movie?" He smirked,
"Always." She smiled, "You do have like 70 years of movies to catch up on."
After eating and putting in another movie, Jacq went to go get changed. She put on a pair of sleeping short before digging into Steve's wardrobe to find a sweatshirt. She slipped it on and it ended above her knees.
She padded back into the living room to see Steve had changed positions, laying fully on the couch.
The sound of Mulan played in the background as she walked over to him and climbed on top of him. She nuzzled her face into his chest and Steve wrapped his arms around her small waist.
She began to doze off, fighting to keep her eyes open. But the beat of Steve's heart lulled her to sleep.
Steve sat up, holding Jacq to his chest. He turned the tv off before standing up and carrying her back to the bedroom.
She sighed as he laid her down on her side of the bed. She opened her eyes and smiled as Steve crawled over her onto his side. Jacqueline followed him over and buried her face into his torso, "Why are you always so warm?" She mumbled into his shirt,
"More like why are you always so cold?" Steve joked as he pulled her closer, tucking the comforter around her,
Jacqueline rolled her eyes, "Ha ha."
