Right Person, Wrong Number (Wrong Number AU)

Part 5

"Wanna try it out?" Bucky mulled over his friend's question. He was craving pizza and for some reason, he felt this some sort of pull to this old pizzeria.

"You know what? I think I'm good. I'm not in the mood to try anything new. So we could go to Rita's closer to my place."

Sam shrugged, "Whatever, man." and the two men continued on their way. However, Bucky glanced back at the shop, still trying to ignore this odd feeling in his stomach.

After you finished eating your pizza and talked amongst Giorgina and her family, you were off down the street towards the nearest metro stop. But as you looked up at the sky, you were in awe by how big the moon was looking tonight.

You stood at the corner of the street, getting a good shot of the moon that hovered slightly above the street sign in frame. You snapped the shot and then sent it to Bucky:

You: the moon is H U G E tonight!

Bucky: You know what else is huge?

You: Your ego.

Bucky: :(

Bucky: Try again.

You: Your head.

Bucky: Some say that men have two heads soooooo :)))

You: you're such a little shit

Bucky: ;) no shame

You: clearly

You then tapped out of the messenger app and clicked on your music app. You plugged in your earbuds and clicked on your walking playlist. Your head bobbing to the music as you pocketed your phone and continued your walk to the metro. You felt a cool breeze so you untied your eccentric denim jacket from your waist and slipped it on. Your denim jacket was one of your favorite clothing items because it contained many interesting patches and pins you've collected over the years. It was always a good conversation starter.

Bucky looked at the picture that you sent him again. He zoomed in on the street sign that was captured. Despite being slightly grainy, he could still clearly see what it said, "Oh my fucking God," he mumbled to himself.

"What?" Sam asked in a concerned tone, stopping at the corner, waiting for the signal for the okay to cross.

Bucky's head hung low and he groaned, "We just missed her! I just missed her!"

"Who?"

"The girl I've been texting! I could've ran into her! We could've met! Why does fate hate me?!"

Sam slapped his friend's arm, "Dude, quiet a bit. People are staring. And besides, you don't know what she looks like."

"I know but-" Bucky was interrupted when some woman bumped into him as he was crossing.

She immediately turned around and squeaked out, "I'm sorry!" and continued on her way. As she walked hastily across the street, Bucky couldn't help but look at her very interesting denim jacket.

You: You know the best thing in the world is?

Bucky: Pizza.

You: True.

You: Okay, you know what the second best thing in the world is?

Bucky: What?

You: taking a nice warm bubble bath after a long day at work and sipping a glass of wine.

Bucky: i have a bath...never used it. ever.

You: BLASPHEMY!

Bucky: it's true!

You: you gotta change that, my friend. and trust me, bubble baths with wine will change your life. i promise you.

Bucky: does it HAVE to be wine though?

You: a glass of wine a day keeps the doctor away

Bucky: 99.9% sure that's wrong

Bucky: and it'll most definitely not keep the doctors away

Bucky: cause if you consistently drink alcohol then you, my friend, might just end up with a bad liver

Bucky: which will result in liver failure

Bucky: which will put you in the hospital

You: ....why are you like this?
