章節 3: Chapter 3 The Happiest
Smiled,"Well, I guess we'll have to do it that way then.".
Steve gave a warm, soft smile, "Well then, I pray we don't hit traffic.", and Peggy beamed at him as their car took a turn.
As if some higher force heard them, they didn't hit much traffic, and within 15 minutes before the scheduled time of 0900, they made it to Pelham Bay Park.
With subtle moves, Peggy tricked the escort to the underground lab and all with the bathroom excuse, and with a minute of Steve pretending that he changed his mind on using the bathroom, he made it down the hallway to the restrooms.
Suddenly, Peggy snatched him from a side door that led to a storage room, grinning coyly, "Looks like you didn't hear the rumor that ladies like to take their time in the bathroom, putting on makeup and such.".
"Was that just an excuse?", Steve chuckled as Peggy shook her head, "Sometimes... at least in this case... it'll give us our chance, that is, if you want this dance, Steve.".
Steve smiled and blushed, "I'd love to, but I don't know where to start. And we have no music.", and Peggy chuckled, "We do have music.", turning on the tableside radio that's on one of the storage shelves, clicking on a few channels before finding a song.
"And for starters, let me help you.", Peggy smiled reassuringly as she guided Steve to lay one of his hands on her waist, hearing him gulp, and she held his other hand in hers as she laid her other hand on his shoulder, looking at him warmly.
Peggy then nodded, "Just follow the music, and don't look down. Keep a count in mind. 1, 2, 3, 4, follow my lead.", and Steve exhaled nervously as he tried to relax, and followed her instructions.
He simply nodded and got ready as she slowly started to move, taking control of the movement as he tried to follow along at the tempo of the music.
"That's it... you're doing great so far.", Peggy whispered in his ear as he leaned his head towards her shoulder in what was usually a reversal of most dances Peggy knew. Usually, the woman would be doing that with a taller man.
Peggy was glad that she's wearing flats, otherwise this would have been a bit of an issue if she was wearing high heels instead...
She knew that Steve is a man of heart, but not self-esteem.
True, he is confident and determined when it comes to certain things including drawing and standing up for anybody weaker than him.
Steve slowly became more confident, and held her a bit more closely, but still distant to be respectful...Steve spoke softly, "
You're a natural at this...", and Peggy smiled, "Let's say that my old boarding school taught me well. Of course, it isn't every day that I get to be myself when I need to be put up a mask on other days and be underestimated by idiots.".
Steve chuckled, "You know, the first day I saw you, I actually wanted to know you after I watched you stand up for yourself with Hodge.
Somehow, I see fire, a bright spark, and so many men try to put it out, but I don't want to...", having an artist's perspective for a moment.
"You don't know how much I appreciate hearing that, Steve...", Peggy said as the two of them kept up their dance. "It truly is a struggle to be a woman in a man's world.".
"Well, in my world, you wouldn't ever need to feel that struggle, Peggy.", Steve said as their faces got closer to one another.
Peggy looked at him in slight surprise upon hearing that, yet his eyes didn't stray from her, looking so expressive, sincere, and bright, and she realized that he's telling the truth, and a true, sincere smile came to her as she leaned in, and their lips met in a hesitant, nervous, slow motion before it became loving and gentle as Steve and
Peggy closed their eyes, feeling like the only two people, barely hearing the music.
Almost all the troubles of the world melted away between the two of them as their hands moved from holding each other's in a dance, to wrapped around them in a loving embrace.
After a minute that suddenly feels too short, Peggy and Steve let go for fresh air, yet still embracing each other, and
Steve blushed, "Could you believe that it was my first kiss on the lips?".
Peggy giggled softly,
"That was a good start for a first-timer, Steve.", before noticing that the song changed, and checked her watch, "Oh, we better not be late.", leaving his embrace.
Steve looks resigned for a moment before nodding, "Yeah.", turning off the tableside radio, adjusting his suit, and
Peggy adjusted her shirt, smiling at Steve, "And oh, you don't have to ask permission to call me Peggy.".
"Of course, Ca- I mean, Peggy.", Steve caught himself before he smiled and took a deep breath. "
Is it wrong for me to say that I'm probably going to miss that after today?".
Peggy gave him a supportive smile, "You can call me anything you want, Steve. Agent, Captain, Peggy.", and walked up to grab his hand gently, "I won't leave you.
You may think you're sickly and small right now, and sure, that will perhaps change today, but you are beautiful to me no matter what size you are.".
Steve blinked in surprise, staring at her before smiling, and glanced at her lips, and reached up to caress her cheek as he leaned in to kiss her gently and shortly, just a peck on the lips.
"Thank you, Peggy.
You've made me the happiest man on earth, and even if I am not ready to say those three words yet,
I can say that I would never forget you as you are part of my heart, and that will remain when I am a giant.", Steve whispered warmly.
