"Is this okay? Are we going to fast?" He breathes out as he rest his forehead against mine.

"Maybe but it feels right. I'm also clean, I haven't been with anyone since my ex in high school." I say as i hold his cheek.

He nods and he goes to his drawer and pulls out a condom.

"I haven't been with anyone since 1945." He says, making me chuckle.

"Good to know." I say as i pull him in to kiss him.

"That was incredible." Bucky breathes out as he rolls on his back as i nod, trying to catch up with my breathing.

"I concur." I say, still in a haze as he just laughs.

"So i know we skipped a step but Holly, do you want to be my girlfriend?" He says caressing my cheek.

"Yes." I smile like an idiot.

"I want to put my past behind me and start this new chapter with my new girlfriend but i need to go to Wakanda for a while just till they fix my mind. And make sure i can't turn into him again, I don't trust my mind and i wouldn't be able to forgive myself if i ever hurt you." He says as he still caresses my cheek.

I look into his eyes and i see his worries, I slowly nod.

"I don't want you to leave but i understand." I say softly.

"I know i have no right to ask you this but wait for me Holly, Please wait for me." He says.

"I'll wait for you Bucky, I promise." I say and he kisses me once more.

5 MONTHS LATER,

"I'm just going to drop off something to Joseph and i'll head over." I say to my boyfriend, who's on the other call.

Bucky came back from Wakanda 2 months ago. He can't no longer be activated as the winter soldier. He loves his new life. And so do I, we're really close.

After he came back he's been an amazing boyfriend. He showers me with love and affection. We've gone out on so many dates but my favorite date was when we went to coney island.

I have a nickname now, Holly Bear. But so does he, Jamie.

My Jamie

"Okay Sweetheart, I'll be waiting along with the popcorn and the movie." He says, making me chuckle.

"And MnM's?" I ask like a 5 year old.

"Yes." He chuckles.

"Yay, Okay i'll see you soon."

"K, I love you. Bye." He says without thinking and i freeze.

Did he just say i love you for the first time?

After our coney island date, i knew i fell in love with him.

"Holly i-

"I love you too." I say quickly and he sighs in relief.

"Thank goodness." He lightly chuckles.

"Okay now hurry up, so you can say it again to me in person." He says fustrated.

"Okay okay." I huff as i grab my keys and purses.

I hang up with him and i walk out of my apartment, I glance up at Joseph's door and i look down and i make my way to my destination.

"Hey Joseph, I brought you your favorite, Italian plum tart." I say as i take a seat as the nurse lets me in.

Joseph looks at me but he doesn't recognize me just like the day before and the day before that and the month before that.

A month after Bucky left, I had to put Joseph into a home. The Alzheimer's had advanced and he got lost in the street one day because he couldn't remember his name or where he lived. And i'm the only person he has.

"Who are you?" He asks in confusion as he does a cross word puzzle.

"My name is Holly Jane Sinclair and i'm i mean was your neighbor. We've known each other for a long time." I sadly say.

He looks at me then at the dessert.

"Holly? I think i know her, I asked her for sugar once." He recalls, sort of.

"Yea you did and she kept knocking at your door ever since, wouldn't shut up." I say making him chuckle.

"Yea she certainly did not but that's because she was lonely.. Like me, But we had each other," He says as he cuts into the dessert.

We still have each other, Joseph

"Yea she was but she isn't lonely anymore, Thanks to you. You told her not to give up on love." I say holding back tears.

"Good for her, She should never give up on the person she loves." He says eating his dessert.

"I promise, I won't." I say wiping my tear away.

After an hour, I say goodbye to joseph and i walk out of the nursery home.

I start to make my way to the compound. I begin to dial Jamie but suddenly i was grabbed from behind, A pair of hands covering my hand so i wouldn't yell. I was tossed into a white van. I try to kick the guy of off me but he injects me with a needle.

"Who are you? What do you want from me?" I say groggily as i fight to stay awake.

"The name is Rumlow, I'm a friend of your boyfriend well was till he betrayed us but don't worry he'll make it up to me by fulfilling my revenge that starts with you." He sinister laughs as my eyes close on me.

THIRD POV

"Holly! Holly you there!" Bucky shouts on the other line on the phone that lays on the ground as the white van drives off.

He doesn't know what happened to her but he has a bad feeling something bad is going to.

Next chapter is also going to be half of a flashback and regular pov, but i warn you now, it's not going to be a happy flashback. It's going to be about Holly's torture. I'm sorry in advance.
