Bounty - Winter Soldier Fanfic

7

I laid on the mattress on the floor staring at the ceiling avoiding sleep.

Was James asleep?

I turned over to look at him.

His eyes were closed and his chest bobbed up and down heavily as he breathed deep.

I sighed.

What a hunk.

I cringed.

He was a soulless murderer, an awful person.

I couldn't deny that he was gorgeous but looks aren't everything.

James deserved to be severely punished for his actions.

I rolled back over.

"Stop moving so much. It's distracting." A voice said.

I responded without thinking.

"Distracting you from what?" I scoffed.

"From sleeping."

James was awake? It took a second to process I was so tired.

"Oh. Sorry. Can't sleep."

"I know." He was silent for a second. "Why do you think I'm going to hurt you?"

"If I thought you were going to hurt me I wouldn't be here."

"You're afraid of me. I can feel it."

I turned over to look at him,"You just have this intimidating, dangerous look about you."

"I can't help it." He mumbled under his breath.

I rolled my eyes.

"It's not necessarily a bad thing. Just maybe not the best thing..in this particular situation?"

He raised an eyebrow.

I faked a yawn.

"Man I'm getting tired." I lied,"I should get some sleep."

Any conversation with this man was making me sick to my stomach.

"Oh yeah. Sorry. It just gets kinda lonely here. Sometimes I like a conversation."

"Mm."

"Well goodnight I guess."

"Goodnight James."

I rolled back over and stared at the wall fighting sleep.

Hopefully he would drift off any minute now.

What seemed like 25 minutes later he had finally done so.

I craned my neck to look at him.

His eyes were shut and he was snoring softly.

I slowly and quietly got off of the mattress and headed to the kitchen.

I peeked around in the cabinets.

All empty.

Not even as much as a cup or plate.

I rolled my eyes.

Did he eat food in his hands?

What a psycho.
