"Will you be my girlfriend?"

I pronounced those words as if they were something I said every day, something I was used to.

It all felt so natural with her that I couldn't help but be the truest version of myself.

I was ready to let go of everything that had been holding me back and give her everything she deserved.

Someone who cared deeply for her.

Not that she didn't already have one of those people, but this was a different situation.

This was better.

This was everything we were meant to be finally happening, it was something I would remember for the rest of my life.

I was positive about the answer, or at least I tried to be as positive as I could, I wouldn't want to ruin this moment by worrying too much even though it was becoming a little difficult.

She looked into my eyes and kept doing so for what felt like ages when it couldn't have been more than a couple of seconds.

"Yes, I'll be your girlfriend." Y/N stated, and I was pretty sure my heart skipped more than just one beat.

"Really?" I gasped.

I thought I had prepared myself enough for this, but apparently, I hadn't.

My heart was beating way too fast I felt like it could free itself from my chest.

My legs started shaking as well as my hands, the cold really wasn't helping.

"Yeah. I'll be your girlfriend." She stated again, starting to caress my cheek.

I melted into her touch, closing my eyes and feeling her take control of my senses.

She let me stay like that for a little before she got closer and kissed me.

It felt like our first meeting again.

It felt like the morning I brought her flowers.

It felt like everything good that happened between us was finally paying off once and for all.

If only I had listened to my heart instead of my head, maybe we would have been here sooner, but it didn't matter now.

All that mattered was that we made it, we wanted each other and finally got to experience what it felt like.

She kept her hand on my cheek, giving it light caresses from time to time as I smiled and took her taste in.

We distanced ourselves to stand up and lock our hands together, ready to go in again, but I didn't want to do that just yet.

I pulled her in again, hearing the laugh I loved so much, held her close to me and let ourselves get lost in each other once again.

"You really can't get enough of this, can you?" She teased me, making me take a step back for a second.

"You aren't complaining, though." She smiled and gave me one brief peck on the lips before heading in.

"We probably should have worn something else, our pajamas are wet now."

"Go take a shower, I'll give you some clean clothes." I pointed her the way to the bathroom while I went to my room to get both me and her some clean clothes.

I checked my phone before doing so and noticed a message from one of the workers at the reception.

Good morning Mrs.Maximoff, I am so sorry to bother you during your holidays, but we've noticed some calls on the house's line and we've been sent messages requesting an urgent meet-up with you.

Do you have any idea who it could be?

What do they want?

Unfortunately, we weren't able to track down who sent the messages. They just requested an urgent meeting with you and said they will be at Oleg Resources within an hour.

Okay, tell them I'll be there.

I scoffed at the messages I was re-reading, knowing I would have to leave Y/N during this special day for us both.

I really didn't want to, but I knew the sooner I would get this done, the sooner I could go back to Y/N.

"Wanda, could you bring me some clothes?" I heard Y/N call out from the bathroom and I immediately took some clothes to give her.

"Here you go." I ran to the bathroom and handed her the clothes, seeing her in just a robe. "Okay, wow." I noticed her smirk at me.

"Thank you, Walterz."

The last word took me by surprise.

"Walterz?" I asked, laughing.

"It's my revenge for babyclaws." I let my arms up in defense and just walked back into my room, preparing some clothes for myself.

After a couple of minutes I heard some steps, raised my head and saw Y/N walk into the room, her hair slightly damp.

"You look beautiful with my clothes on, love." I told her as I walked to her and gave her a kiss on the forehead, seeing her blush at the pet name.

"Thank you, you're never getting them back."

"Of course." I started. "Listen, Y/N, I got called into work for an urgent matter but I shouldn't be long. Do you want me to drive you to yours or will you be okay here?"

"Why? What's the matter? Should I come too? To help, you know."

"I'll be fine, don't worry, it's just a meeting."

"You promise you won't be long?"

"I won't, I promise."

"Okay." She murmured and I gave her a peck, feeling her smile against my lips. "Oh, Morgan texted me about a late Christmas party kind of thing at a club tomorrow night, should we go?"

"Well, do you want to?"

"I kind of do. I haven't been to one in a long time." Y/N confessed, giving me those eyes I couldn't resist.

"Then tell Morgan we'll be there." I kissed her again before going into the shower.

It didn't take me long to get ready, in just under ten minutes I was ready to go, making sure I brought my coat because of the cold outside.

"Are you sure you'll be okay?" I asked Y/N who was sitting on the couch watching some doctor show I didn't really catch the name of.

"Yeah, I've got Grey's Anatomy on the screen, Morgan on the phone, I'll be fine. I'll wait for you." She reassured me.

"Okay, call me if anything comes up."

"But you have a meetin-"

"I don't care. My girlfriend comes before that."

"That sounds very nice."

"It does, doesn't it?"

"Don't miss me too much!" I exclaimed as I walked out.

"Will do!"
