Chapter 31
Wanda's POV
We hadn't moved yet when Nat bought an apartment for us or well her parents did for our graduation gift which I'm very thankful for, her parents had already helped me through a lot.
Today she woke up earlier than me to pack most of her belongings here since the rest was still at school, we told her parents that later at noon we'll be heading there to get the rest.
I was still asleep when Nat finished most of the packing since she was very adamant that she should be the one packing and I should be resting.
"Wands, darling, malysh, moya lyubov, wake up babe." She said crawling on top of me and wrapping her hands around.
"What else?" I chuckled still half asleep.
"Krasivaya, dorogoy, Princess, malenkaya vedma, the love of my life and future wife." She chuckled listing down every possible endearment to call me.
"Wife?" I sat up fully awake.
"Do you want to be? In the future I mean." She smiled.
"Of course I do." I grinned.
"Good, cause I'll hold you on to that." She said as she got off the bed.
"What are our plans for the day Milacik?"
"Well I've already finished our packing here, so we'll be heading back to school to pick up what we left at our dorms, then we'll visit the apartment to unpack."
"Do you have the key?"
"Yep, I'll give you the spare one later, but as of now we should head down and eat."
"I'd rather eat what's in front of me." I smirked wiggling my eyebrows.
"Not today malysh, not today." She chuckled.
"Oh come one Talia." I pouted, lazily holding her wrist.
She chuckled. "Don't you want to see the apartment?"
"Actually, let's go." I said.
"Good, now come on let's head down, my parents are probably waiting for us." She said offering me to take her hand.
I took her hand as I lazily head down stairs and into the kitchen, Melina and Alexei were already sitting down with plates neatly placed on each seat.
"I see, you've made your time to join us." Melina smiled.
"She was still sleeping when I packed." Nat snickered.
"Hey! It's not my fault you wouldn't let me help." I pouted.
"You were so pretty when you're sleeping, I couldn't help but not wake you up." She said taking her seat down across Melina.
"That's not an excuse Talia." I remarked.
"It is." She quipped.
"It's not." I laughed taking a seat next to her.
"For me it is." She said.
"Enough with the bantering now and let's eat." Alexei chuckled as he joined in.
-------------------------
We were driving to the school to pick up everything, and since this was Nat's car we decided to get her's first. We were already near the door when I remebered something.
"Hey Nat, have you texted Yelena?" I asked as she entered the room.
"No, not yet why?" She said placing each bag one by one outside.
"Does she know that you're moving out today?" I said as I was helping her with the last of her bags.
"Oh that, yeah I texted her yesterday, she said it's fine but she does want to visit the apartment when we move in." She chuckled.
"Of course she can visit." I smiled.
"Shall we get yours malysh?" She said locking the doors.
"Let's go." I said.
We walked to mine as I shuffle through my pockets to get my keys the door suddenly opens.
"Oh hey Wanda, Nat I was just about to leave." Pepper said.
"Hey Pep you already packed?" I asked
"Yep, Tony's gonna help me move out tomorrow."
"That's great." Nat said.
"Well I gotta get going, you two have fun but not to much." She joked as she left.
"She left in a hurry." Nat laughed.
"I'm pretty sure she's gonna meet up with Tony." I chuckled as I entered the dorm and started putting my things in bags.
Nat helped with most of my beddings, as I stuffed the bags with my clothes, I forgot that Nat's hoodie was still in here so I decided to wear it.
"Don't forget your guitar." She said handing it to me.
"What would I ever do if you weren't here." I chuckled placing it in the guitar bag.
"You'd be lost without me." She smirked making me blush.
"How did you learn to play that?" She asked sitting on my bed.
"My mom used to teach me, Pietro's the one who bought me this with his own money." I said sadly.
"Have you ever thought of being in the music industry?"
"No I haven't really, I've always wanted to take psychology, how about you?" I smiled softly looking at her.
"I wanted to take law, I don't know why but it's what attracted me the most."
"You'd make a great lawyer, and a very hot lawyer in a suit."
She laughed."You just wanted me in a suit."
"And what if I did?" I challenged.
"Maybe next time." She laughed as she stood up handing me what's left in the room.
We finished packing leaving the room bare and empty as we head back to get her bags and continue walking to the car.
-------------
Nat drove us to this small apartment complex near every shops but not to close to the roads. It was a simple white building with grey accents, it had three floors each apartment has its window and balcony.
"Nat this looks beautiful." I sat there in awe.
"Wait til' you see our apartment." She smiled as she parked.
"I already know it's great when it comes to you." I smiled.
"Ours is on the second floor, door 18, not to close not to far." She stated as she linked our hands together and went in the elevator.
"Remember the first time we met in the elevator?" I said giving her a sly grin.
"Oh god that was embarrassing." She said bringing her hand to pinch the bridge of her nose.
"No it wasn't, I actually found it cute."
"Maximoff, I've been called many things but cute isn't one of those."
"Fine, I found it endearing Romanoff." I laughed.
"And may I ask why me embarrassing myself is endearing to you?"
"You were staring at my eyes for a good minute and stammered when I caught you." I chuckled.
"Well for someone with eyes like yours, it's definitely mesmerizing enough to hypnotise me." She said dragging me out the elevator.
"I'm glad it did." I smiled.
"This is it." We stopped in front of a big brown door with a gold number plate engraved with the number 18.
"Would you do the honors of opening?" She said handing me the key.
I opened the door to reveal the entrance way with a bedroom and a bathroom on the sides and a hall that leads to a spacious and ornate room that has the kitchen on the left side, the living room on the right. The windows were also doors that leads to the balcony, and the walls were painted with this soft baby blue with white accents.
"Nat this is amazing." I said dropping the bags on the floor in the middle of the room.
"I knew you'd like it." She said placing her bags down.
"But how are we paying for this, we can't just rely on your parents for everything." I said looking at her.
"They said they're willing to help, and they'll keep helping us til we eventually get jobs." She said sheepishly.
"Sometimes I feel like I owe your parents a lot and I don't know how to repay them." I said dropping my head.
"They're glad to help you malysh, all they want is us to be happy and succeed." She said placing both of her hands on my shoulders.
"We're not even married yet and they already treat me like their second daughter." I smiled softly.
"Too much like their daughter." She chuckled.
"Now how about we unpack shall we?" She said going back to the bags.
"Yeah, hand me one of those bags." I said taking two bags out of her hands.
"When should we get the furniture?" I said taking out most of my clothes and placing them on the bed.
"How about later? We should bring Clint and Pietro for help." She said going in the bathroom to place the toiletries.
"Sure, let me call Piet." I stood up finding my phone on the counter and dialed him.
"You need something sestra?" He said answering the call.
"Do you want to help us buy furniture?" I chuckled.
"What time and where?"
"How about later at noon maybe 1, and we're going to-"
"Let me guess IKEA?" He chuckled.
"Yeah." I said sheepishly.
"What's with lesbians and IKEA." He laughed.
"Well you can't blame us that we like the decor." I laughed.
"Sure, I'll meet you guys there." He said.
"Bring Clint with you." I said before he could hang up.
"I will, love you sestra."
"Love you too Piet, see you there." I said hanging up.
"So what did he say?" Nat said emerging out the bathroom.
"He said he will, what furniture are we getting?" I said placing our clothes in the closet.
"First a couch, then maybe some tables and chairs, and we couldn't go wrong with a few decorations." She said listing it down.
"So we won't be getting a TV?" I chuckled.
"I was waiting for you to say that, but no we won't."
"We're still gonna move after college, so I think that's a good choice."
"Let's finish unpacking, then we'll head out for lunch and meet with the guys."
"That's sounds like a great idea."
------------
We unpacked very quicker than we thought, so I forced Nat to watch Dick Van Dyke with me on her laptop. At first she didn't like it but a few minutes in the episode, I found her intrigued and engrossed by it.
After two episodes we locked up the apartment and left the complex. Nat drove us to the nearest shawarma place and ordered us on the drive through.
After we ate in the parking lot, she drove us to IKEA meeting the guys near the entrance and we began scoping out the whole store.
I found this one dark blue couch that's shaped like an L and Nat really like it, so of course we bought it. Clint and Pietro bought us a kitchen set which we deeply appriciated.
I found this cute ceramic cat and practically begged Nat to buy it.
"Nat please." I begged.
"No Wanda we're not getting the cat." She laughed.
"Please, I'll take care of it I promise." I begged some more.
"Wanda, malysh, I love you but that's not a real cat." She chuckled.
"Nice cat sestra, I'll go get the dog." Pietro said before speeding off.
"See Pietro like's it, and wait there's a dog? Can we get the dog aswell?" I said.
"Okay fine, but I'm doing this because I love you." She said giving up.
"I love you too Talia." I smiled.
"I found the dog!" Pietro exclaimed holding up the ceramic dog.
"I swear I'm dating a child." Clint said shaking his head.
"You and me the same." Nat chuckled.
"But you love us." Pietro laughed.
"Yeah we do." Clint smiled.
Once we finished buying all our furniture Pietro paid for the delivery fee, we waited 3 days for the furniture to arrive. We finished up decorating the apartment, I let Nat assemble them while I cleaned after she was done setting up.
