The life of Jessica Stark (Bucky x OC)

Chapter 33

*Recommended: This is me trying ~ Taylor Swift*

"Oh my god!" I exclaim, scaring my entire family. We were all sat on my floor watching a film together when I had an alarming thought "You guys missed Christmas!" I pout. They also missed out on New Years and Valentines but Christmas was the one I felt worst about

"Jesus Jess don't scare us like that!" Steve shouts over to me

"Yeah, I thought you had another vision" Wanda says with her hand on her chest clearing trying to regulate her breathing

"I'm sorry but you've missed out on so much because of me" I whine, falling back into my seat as Peter puts his arm around me in comfort

"Like we could've had a Christmas without you" Nat rolls her eyes

"That's beside the point, you've missed out on three holidays" I continue to fight my point

"Would it make you feel better if we had a party to make up for the lost time?" My dad asks searching my eyes for an answer. He's truly been going above and beyond to make me happy but I do believe that a party might be what everyone needs

"That would be amazing!" Pietro laughs out loud making around turn to face him "Christmas is Jesus's birthday and they both came back from the dead... it's very fitting Princessa"

"That's exactly what I want dad" I smile and his face lights up completely knowing there there is something he can actually do to make me feel better

"Then it's settled... I'll be throwing a party tomorrow for a belated Christmas, New years and Valentines" He announces proudly whilst pushing a kiss into my cheek and settling back into the film. I look to the left of me to see Bucky sat in the armchair staring up to the screen

*I can see you looking at me doll* He projects into my mind making me jump back a little as a small smirk appears on his face

*I kept the tags by the way...* I say to him and his head whips round to face me but I keep my head straight on the screen

"You ok Bucky?" Clint asks at his sudden movements and he just nods in response before cautiously turning his attention back on the film. I decide to have a little more fun and lift the tags out from under my jumper. Grabbing the tag with my finger and thumb, I gently move it around the chain

*After all this time?* He asks clearly referencing Harry Potter, making my heart swell knowing that not only did he reference my favourite film but also talking about our feelings in our own special way

*Always, James it's you* I answer back and this time look in his direction, smiling when he turns to face me once again with what can only be described as a look of pure love and adoration. My heart melts completely knowing that there's a chance for us. That there's hope.

Truth be told, I didn't end up getting much sleep that night. All I could think about was Bucky, it took everything in me not to get up in the night and join him but I didn't because I still didn't know where we stood exactly. It's torture having the ability to read the person's mind but can't because of the stupid morals that a certain dad junior instilled into you.

The day came a lot quicker then I would've hoped but I knew today was important to my dad so I thought I need to at least make somewhat of an effort. I climb out of bed still wearing yesterdays jumper and sweats before heading out onto my floor. Clint's already settled into the kitchen making breakfast as Sam, Steve and Bucky all sit on the breakfast bar sipping coffee and chatting whilst Peter, Nat and Wanda are spread out in the living room. I bite my lip daringly and use my powers to lift Steve's cup of coffee and bring it over to me
