Wandas POV

I don't want to open my eyes.

Both afraid that I am in fact in bed with her and also afraid that it was all a dream.

I'm not sure how I would react to either.

But the sun barely peaking through the curtains is deciding it's time for me to open them.

And I am in fact in bed with her. Laying on her. Our bodies are intertwined. My head is on her chest as it slowly raises and falls.

She shifts and I'm worried she'll wake up and this will be ruined.

But instead she only pulls her arm tighter around me, bringing me that much closer to her.

I smile at the movement and nuzzle my face further into her neck.

I am soaking up the feeling of our bodies molded together perfectly. Last night was.. everything. I could live in that moment forever. And the things she could do.. well, I was right about her magic hands.

I let these thoughts swirl around in my head as I drift back asleep.

——————

All too soon I'm being woken up again.

But this time I don't have her body under my own, her arms aren't keeping me closer to her.

This wakes me up faster.

And that's when I notice she's up and searching around for something.

So I sit up, stretching to wake myself up more.

Then I see her bend down and pick up a piece of clothing, she looks at it for a moment before sliding her legs though the holes and pulling them up.

She's getting dressed.

Is she leaving?

But..

"What're you doing?" My voice comes out raspy so I clear my throat.

Her head snaps to me.

The anger in those eyes is back.

"I'm getting the hell out of here."

The bite in her voice has me flinching. I didn't expect the anger. Not after..

"What? You thought because we slept together last night that everything was fine?" She laughs, "and here I thought better of you."

Okay. The words sting. The actions hurt more.

"I just thought maybe we'd.."

"What? That we were friends now? Or something more? That we'd have breakfast together? Spend the day together? I can't even believe I fell asleep," she's shaking her head as she continues to look for her other items of clothing.

"So.. you really still hate me?"

"What? Was sleeping with me your way of getting me to let my guard down? Tough shit."

"No, I wasn't trying to do anything.." she looks at me. "I mean, I was trying to sleep with you in that moment, but there were no ulterior motives."

"You can pretend that's true and I can pretend I believe you. Now we can go about our merry lives like we never even met."

Okay, that really hurt. Did last night really mean nothing to her?

"But.. that's it? You just want to part ways?" I'm trying.

She's mostly dressed now with her back towards me. She froze after I talked.

Spinning around and getting close to me, "that's what a one night stand is. Don't you get it? We used each other. It was a heat of the moment, that's it. And honestly.. it was a mistake," she spits it out like she means it.

But those daggers tore down to the bone.

"A mistake? What.. I don't.." I can't form a sentence.

She chuckles, "wow. You really thought this was going to lead somewhere?"

"I don't know.. I just.. thought maybe.."

"You thought wrong. This was a mistake. It's never going to happen again. Go ahead and believe it never did."

She must finally have found all of her belongings because she's walking towards the door.

And as she's reaching for the handle, about to pull it open, I can't help but add one more thing.

"I guess I should have listened to Maia," it's muffled, kind of. But she definitely heard it because she froze again.

But she doesn't immediately turn back to me like last time and I find myself begging for her to look at me with those blue eyes once more.

She does. But..

She storms over to me, complete indifference written all over her face.

Actually, no.

There's almost an amused gleam to her eye. Like she's enjoying this.

I guess there was a reason she slept with me. This kind of fighting seems to fuel her.

"You talked to Maia, huh? I bet she told you how horrible I am and that I'll rip out your heart?"

I mean.. she kind of did, so..

"Not exactly.."

"Right. Well did she also tell you the part about how I found her cheating on me with her best friend in our bed?"

She did not.

Damn.

I don't know what to say now..

"Um.."

"No. I'm sure she didn't. It's easy to play the victim when you paint over the true portrait. Just like it's easy to play the hero in front of the cameras."

She once again turns to leave, apparently done with this conversation.

And I hate that I had to bring that up, that I said it. I curse myself internally.

Not only does she now know I talked to her ex, but she will probably never want to talk to me again.

But wait. Isn't that what she already said? So I have nothing left to lose here.

Maybe I could just..

"And you know what? I'm actually seeing someone else, too. So don't even bother trying to track me down again."

And then she's out the door, it quickly slamming shut behind her.

So she's gone.

And I'm left in bed, naked and alone.

——————

It's been a few days and my wounded heart is still reeling; still healing.

I know I shouldn't be this upset but.. after that night I guess I just had some type of hope.

But you know what they say about hope.

So I'm just sitting here eating some oatmeal by myself.

Okay I'm not so much eating it as I'm moving the fruit around in it. It's probably cold and gross by now.

"Uh, Wanda? You alright there?"

Nat breaks me out of my daze.

"Oh, uh. Yeah. I'm fine," okay, she kind of breaks me out of my daze.

"Yeah, okay. Spill," then she's sitting next to me and we're having this conversation.

"Well something.. happened the other night. And now I don't think blue eyes will ever speak to me again."

She's confused, "blue eyes? You mean the fire fighter? I thought she was gone a long time ago? What about Lexi?"

"Yeah.. I thought I had lost her, too. But that night we went out to the club.."

"The night you disappeared?"

"Yup. That's the one. She was uh.. she was there. And we may have said some words."

"Oh? And they were so bad you had to leave.." she pauses for a moment. And I'm just looking at my oatmeal. "Mm. Okay. So you slept with her."

My head flies up to Nats, confused by how she figured that out. Then again, I'm sure my expression gave me away; the rising red of my cheeks, my smirk at the thoughts of that night..

"Um.. yeah. I did."

"And it was that bad?"

"No. The opposite."

"So? I'm pulling teeth here, Wanda."

I sigh all dramatically, "she said it was a one night thing. That it meant nothing. That it was a mistake."

"The one night stand thing I get. But she really.. Ah. You didn't want it to be a one night stand, did you?" She is way too good at this. She might as well have the mind reading abilities.

"No.." I say it quietly.

She nods her head, "did you tell her that?"

"Not really. We kind of just had another fight and I may have brought up what her ex Maia said.."

"You didn't."

"I did.. and that's how I found out Maia cheated on her."

"Oh, wow. Really stuck your foot in it with that, didn't you?"

"Thanks. That's really helpful, Nat."

"Well it sounds like it wasn't meant to be. I mean she was pretty against the avengers right away, right? I think this reaction just shows you're better off without her."

"know you're right. You are. And I keep telling myself that.."

"But you can't get her out of your head?"

"No! And I hate it. I wish I could. But.. every time I try her blue eyes come swimming back and the way she smirked at me and the way she moves her hands.."

"Okay. I get it."

"You don't!" I throw my head back, reminiscing that night. "I swear, Nat. She has the magical

hands. But it's not even that. It was fun and easy. She was so sweet afterwards. And her laugh.. And then she let me sleep on her.."

"Wow. Sounds like you have it bad."

"I know." I put my head down on the table.

"Well. The way I see it, you have two options."

I turn my head so I'm looking at her but it's still connected to the table.

"For one, you can try again. Hope you run into her somewhere or try her fire house again. Or, door number two; you let it go. Chalk it up to an amazing one night stand. One I'm kind of jealous of, by the way. And you move on. Maybe call Lexi up?"

"Yeah, I know you're right. I know I should go for option two but.. no I should. Why should I waste anymore time on someone that clearly doesn't want to be with me?"

"There you go Wanda! You don't need her."

"Yeah, I don't need her."

"Yeah.. I can just..

Forget Ms. Blue Eyes.
