"One second." Natasha stood up.

"Where are you going?" I asked her slightly upset as the phone rang in my hand.

"Getting something to drink." She rolled her eyes before walking to the kitchen.

I sighed as I answered the phone. "Hello?"

"It's been 3 months. You promised me for 3 months." Peppers frantic voice came through the phone.

"I will begin my preparations and call back in the next 18 hours," I told her after which I hung up before Pepper could even respond.

Natasha walked out from the kitchen holding a glass of mango juice and orange squash for herself.

"Here." Natasha gave me my glass.

"A company wants me to go abroad to do a project for them after they found my skills useful," I told her seeing she didn't ask me anything. I drank the juice just as she sat on my lap once more. Man mango juice is the best.

"Huh since when did you start working for companies? I thought you hated working for companies." Natasha asked me in confusion.

"I still do. But I occasionally take some projects when I am bored or I am in need of some money like sending it to parents back home.

This darn company just keeps on pestering me after I showed them my skill which they liked." I told her.

'Come on you gotta realise it by now Nat.' I prayed.

"Are you going to take it?" She asked me in confusion.

"Well, I was planning to take it if you are leaving for work. I could occupy myself for a few days since it been a long time, I had taken such a challenging task and could come back before you did. Which is why I told them to wait until the next 18 hours." I explained to her to which she nodded.

I sighed at how her mind kept avoiding that possibility. I finished my drink and placed it on the table beside us.

"Now forget about that, I want to find a certain thief who has been stealing my love from me," I said as I started tickling her.

"Hahaha! Stop it! It tickles!" She laughed with tears and begged me, but I didn't.

"I thought a super spy wasn't ticklish?" She spilt her juice on me.

"Now look at what you made me do." She complained as she placed the glass on the table beside us.

"I am the victim here," I complained.

"I didn't even get to finish my drink." She complained back to me to which I smiled.

I quickly grabbed her hand and pushed her back to the sofa. "You nearly made me forgot what I was doing." I began tickling her once more.

"Haha! Stop it!" She tried to stop me but I kept avoiding her hands lest she grabbed them.

Suddenly she pushed my knees with her legs which made me lose balance and fall on top of her. She used that moment to push me down on the floor and pin my hand down.*Thud*

"Now let see if a genius is ticklish." She began tickling me.

"Hahaha! Stop, stop! I am sorry." I begged her but she wouldn't relent, but luckily I managed to grab her hands and pulled her to me.

At that moment both of us were so close.

"I still need to pay you back." She pouted as I held her close to me.

She began caressing my hair. "You need a hair cut." She told me to which I nodded.

"Maybe you should cut it for me after you come back from your job." She nodded as I caressed her hair.

She leaned in for a kiss which I obliged and reciprocated. We kept kissing for a while only breaking apart to breathe.

Using that gap I used one arm to wrap around her while slithering one arm down to her lower body.

[Doki-Doki]

We got lost in our bliss before we laid back on the sofa with her on top of me.

Both of us blacked out and became vulnerable once more. Waking up a few minutes later with, we both felt cold but didn't want to separate. "I am cold David," Natasha complained.

"Hug me tight," I told to which in reply began tightly hugging me.

"Now are you cold?" I asked her as I moved her hair out of her face.

"My back still is." She complained.

"Then hold tight." She nodded.

I stood up while using one hand to hold onto her to make sure she didn't separate from me.

Seeing what I was about to do she wrapped her legs around me as I started walking toward the bedroom.

We arrived in our bedroom and laid on the bed from where Natasha took the duvet and brought it over us.

"I love you," I said as caressed her head.

"I love you too." She said as she kissed me.
