Part 9

It's kinda creepy here, almost ruins. The entire facility left to rot and few equipments are still here, maybe some of them could still be useful.

"What are you gonna do now?" I asked him.

"Train"

"Alone? You should have a partner if you want sparring" I went on the table and leaned in as I watch him walk towards the old punching bag.

"I'm used to it" he said before throwing a strong punch on the bag. He could've destroy the whole thing if he threw a stronger punch. The metal arm, as I know, is much stronger but he doesn't usually use it.

"Come on, Bucky. Let me join you" I teased him as I wrap my hands with straps.

His gaze went on me and arched his brow. Didn't he trust me?

"But your wound, it's not yet healed. And.... I could hurt you, Hayley" his voice came to a whisper. I bit my inner lip and formed a fist.

"Do you trust me?" I came closer.

"Hay—"

"I said, do you trust.... me?" I came to a stop when we were a foot away. My eyes never left his as I caught him swallowed hard. I moved even closer, and I could feel his hot breath in my face.

"Yes" he muttered.

That's just how you win an argument with a man. A little womanly move.

Without a word, I took a step back and lifted my fist and threw at him but to his agility, he moved sideways to avoid the blow.

"Quite fast" I said.

"I didn't see that coming too"

He threw a punch towards me and I managed to catch his arm as I swung it around him locking his body to move another blow. But I caught off guard as he freed himself by grabbing my left foot when he ducked. I grunted when we both landed on the ground. He turned to face me as he straddled my body.

"You cheated!"

"I don't think I did, my darling" he smirked. His both hands on mine above my head.

"Yes, you did"

Forgive me, Bucky. But this will hurt a bit.

I kneed his groin enough for him to feel the pain but not to hurt him. He moved himself away from me, grunting.

"Now, you're the one who's cheating" he said. I stood up and looked at him with guilt. Moving towards his pained form, my hands went on his shoulders as I tried to soothe his pain. Have I done that hard?

"Bucky, I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you that way"

"That...... really hurt" he chuckled.

"I'm really sorry" I touched his face. He didn't flinched nor backed away, he just stayed and smiled. I'm glad he didn't tho. And I promised myself not to do that again to Bucky. I don't want to hurt him.
