Captain America's Love
Chapter 3
Life was the same as always. I woke up and got ready for school. When I got to Biology (Which I still hate) Steve was already waiting for me. He looked a bit nervous when I sat down. It took him a while to speak, but finally looked at me and said "Brenda, The Halloween dance is coming up, and I was wondering if you would like to.... um....... If you would like to go with me. If you don't want to that's fine but....." I cut him off right there and replied "Yes I would love to go with you, Steve." He looked at me like he was happy, but I got the feeling that I was in for a big surprise when I got there.
*****************************************************************************************
It's the night of the Halloween Dance, and Steve and I are going as Peeta and Katniss from The Hunger Games saga. Steve picked me up at 7:30 when the dance didn't start until at least 8:15, but he said that he was going to wait for Anna. We got there and stood outside until Anna finally arrived. When she saw me she looked angry. "What is she doing here" she asked Steve. I felt like I was intruding on something. "I asked her to the dance with me" he replied. "Steve, we had a plan, remember?" "Yes I remember the plan, Anna" I just stood there not knowing what was going on. All of a sudden Steve spoke up and said "Here's my cue." I just look at him and said "What cue?" But he just went up to Anna, and dipped her like they were in love. I couldn't believe it, he asked me to the dance, but is in love with her. I was about ready to cry when Steve came back over to me, and we went inside. "Brenda, I would like to explain what happened. Anna came to me with a plan to try to get this guy she likes jealous to see if he actually likes her. My part of the plan was to be her pretend boyfriend. That was the only encounter of affection that Anna and I will have tonight. I am here with you and that is all. Now would you like to dance?" He told me. Now I understood why we waited for Anna to come. I guess she didn't take my advice, but yet I didn't even take it. I finally replied to Steve "First I would like to talk to you." He shook his head in understanding, but still led me to the dance floor. "We can talk while dancing." He said I wasn't sure if I wanted to explain my feelings to him on the dance floor, but I also knew there wasn't any way out of it. "Okay," I finally answered, "Steve, I like you. I like you like a husband likes his wife if that makes any sense." He just stood there not saying a thing. All of a sudden he started leaning in like he was going to kiss me. His lips finally touched mine, and it felt like I was floating on air. It felt magical. He pulled away and said "I like you to like a wife loves her husband." After that, the night went slow and Steve and I danced the night away.
