Beauty & The Beast
*LILA POV*
- Are you sure you don't mind if we share a bed? I can sleep on the floor, I've slept in worse places, you even have a carpet - Nadya told me, and I laughed
- Nadya, we have already shared a bed more than once - I answered
- yeah, but... - she told me
- Nadya, come here - I told her, luring her to the bed to sit with me
- you're not going to sleep on the floor, I don't care if you've slept in worse places, you don't need to do it anymore - I told her, when she sat next to me
- Thank you - she replied, I just pulled her towards me and hugged her
- You have nothing to thank me for, Nads - I told her
- do you want to see a movie? -
- Ok - she answered me and I took the television remote control
- what do you think of this one? - I asked pointing to a Disney movie
- Okay, I've never seen it - she replied, which surprised me a lot
- You haven't seen Beauty and the Beast?! - I asked her almost shouting
- No, in the Red Room they didn't let us watch movies or series that didn't have to do with any mission, since I was born I've been there, so I haven't really had time - she told me, which made me very sad. I'm going to get her to have the childhood she never had
- Well, we're going to see it now - I told her - You're going to love it, this is Live Action and Emma Watson looks gorgeous in this movie - I said, while pressing play
Nadya was fascinated by the movie, she was like a little girl with her favorite toy.
When the movie ended, Nadya's mouth was open and her eyes were surprised
- Are you telling me that all this time, the cups and all that were PEOPLE? - she asked me, but it sounded more like a statement than a question
- That's right - I said laughing
- I didn't expect that, the thing about the beast, yes, but THE CUPS, it's crazy - she said and I kept laughing at her reaction - what are you laughing at? - she asked me making an angry face, she looked like a little girl
- At your reaction, it's just a movie - I answered, and she turned around annoyed, and I stopped laughing - sorry, I don't laugh anymore, but don't get mad - I told her trying to bring her closer to me
- No - she said
- Nadya - I whined as I kept pulling her towards me, but she just ignored me - are you really pissed off? -
- No - she said, holding back a laugh
-Nadya! - I finally told her being able to pull her towards me
She started laughing, and I couldn't help myself and laughed too.Her laugh was the most beautiful sound I had ever heard, I didn't want to stop hearing it.
After a few seconds laughing, we stared at each other, neither of us said anything. After realizing this fact, Nadya lowered her gaze in embarrassment.
- Do you want to come down for a while? - I asked
- Okay - she said almost inaudibly.We went down the stairs to the living room, where my mother and Yelena were talking, while Wanda played with my brother Nathaniel and my father and Cooper played in the garden.
- Hey - I greeted
- Hello, honey, come, sit here - my mother said, pointing to the seat next to her on the sofa.
Nadya looked quite uncomfortable with so many people around her, so I took her hand to comfort her. But she released me immediately, which annoyed me a little, but I let it go.I didn't understand what was going through her mind right now, I was trying to understand it, but she wouldn't let me, every time we were starting to get closer, she would distance herself from me.
She agreed to go out with me, I understand it was before the whole HYDRA thing happened, but I thought she still wanted to go out with me. The worst thing, I had prepared for tomorrow to ask her to be my girlfriend. I don't know what I'm going to do, I need to talk to Yelena.
I came back to reality, when my mother was calling me
- Lila - my mother yelled - are you okay? -
- ehh... yes, I'm fine - I said looking around, Nadya was no longer next to me, but sitting next to her sister, and the two of them were talking about something
I sat next to my mother quite sad, normally Nadya always sat next to me, but today she preferred to sit next to Yelena, which shouldn't bother me, they are sisters and they love each other very much, they have been through a lot together, which makes them have a pretty strong relationship. But, equally, it hurt me that she hadn't decided to sit with me.
- What do you think if we go to dinner at the lake that we have here next door? - asked my mother, when my father and Cooper entered
- YES! - replied my brother quite excited, he's about to finish his degree and he looks like a little boy
- Is it okay with all of you? - she asked looking at us.
- okay - I answered and the others simply nodded
- Well, I'm going to prepare things, go get you ready, we'll leave in 10 minutes, since we'll probably take longer with Nathaniel - she said looking at him, who was trying to get on Nadya's lap.
Nadya took him in her arms with fear and put him on her legs. You could tell she was nervous, she looked at me asking for help, but I just smiled at her to take away her fear.
She relaxed a bit when my brother gave her a kiss on the cheek, then she started playing with him. Their interaction put a smile on my face.
- Someone is in love - someone said in my ear, it was Yelena
- Shut up - I told her pushing her, although I couldn't move her an inch, which didn't surprise me
- You know, Nadya has never been as happy as she is now, with you, I'm very happy that she found you - she told me, and I had to lower my head to hide my blush - you don't have to hide your blush - she told me, which made me blush even more
- I'm happy to have found her, but every time she tried to take another step in our relationship, she walks away, I want to understand why she does it, but she won't let me - I told her, and I had to look up to suppress the tears
- Nadya is difficult, she has been through a lot, even more than me. She entered the Red Room shortly after she was born, her father killed her mother and took her away to train. When Natasha burned down where Dreykov was, she was inside with her sister, her father saved her sister but not her, Nadya was left to die, she was only eight years old, but she was so well trained, she saved herself. She tried to escape once with a family that she had to kill, the Red Room set fire to the house with the family inside and took Nadya back. She suffered a horrible punishment, which I prefer not to talk about, but as you can understand, it is very difficult for her to trust and love. She thinks that if she loves someone, they are going to get hurt because of her, it took a lot for her to start loving Natasha and me like she does now and to trust us. - She told me.
Now I understood why she was so distant. I needed her to realize that I'm not going to die or get hurt because of her.
- wow, yes she has suffered, and I didn't realize -
- It's not your fault, you didn't know, she would never tell you, she says you should think she's a monster, I hope you help her stop thinking that, I can't do it alone - she told me
- I will - I promised
- But, if for some reason I see a tear falling from her eyes because of you, I won't get tired until I make you suffer, understood? - She told me with a murderous look, that she could scare anyone who comes across her
- Understood - I said moving away from her a little scared
- Okay, now go with your girl -
- She's not my girl - I said rolling my eyes
- Yet - she corrected
