Falling for a Maximoff

Chapter 21: Back to normal

Pov y/n 

The next two weeks suck.
I don't mind the fact that I'm being grounded, well not a lot at least. It bothers me more that I'm not allowed or able to see Wanda. I got so used to seeing her daily and being with her, feeling comfortable and happy.
I miss her eyes that look at me, sometimes with little sparkles in them, I miss her hugs that made me feel safe and warm inside, I miss spending time with her and getting to know her better and I miss her lips, the feeling of them against mine and her hands around my neck.

A huff leaves my mouth as I flop down into my pillows and I run my hands down my face. Time went by so slow and it was weird not to have something I could look forward to at the end of each day.
But, apart from the fact that I don't know where Wanda currently is, I wouldn't have broken my mom's rules on this because I feel bad about how upset she was with me and I don't want her to lose trust in me.

I spent my free time in the woods and the little cabin is nearly done, I just have to put some more leaves and stuff on the roof so it stays dry inside. It became kind of my safe space because it's quiet out there and I have time to myself without worrying to be interrupted.
And if I'm being honest, I'm quite proud of what I built.

A knock on my door pulls me out of my thoughts and I sit up and ask them to come in. I look a little confused at Tony who follows my mom inside. Why is he with her?
"We have something we need to talk about with you." My mom starts and I get slightly worried. Tony pulls up my desk chair to sit opposite of me while my mom leans against my drawer.

"We talked to Wanda and don't see her as a threat anymore, at least not a dangerous one." Tony starts and it feels like a weight is lifted of my chest. That's good news.
"Steve and I talked a lot to her to figure out if there was anything that would make her turn on us but apparently you were right, she isn't dangerous to us anymore. She really wanted to proof herself and did that with not breaking out and taking advantage of her powers. It's unnecessary to keep her locked up and we want to start to train her. So, she's getting a room up here." He ends and looks over to my mom who nods at him and then looks at me.
"Any further questions?" Tony asks and I look from him to my mom and shake my head. The questions that I have are not directed at him.
"Good. See you around." He says, gets up and leaves my room. Mom takes his place in the chair and looks at me.

"I know what you want to ask me." She states before I can even ask.
"I said as soon as Steve and Tony confirmed that Wanda isn't a threat, you could see her again. And I'll keep my word. But nonetheless I don't trust Wanda, for different reasons. That's why I want you to meet in the living room or kitchen, any open area where I would be able to keep an eye on you. Your and her rooms are not a place where I want you to meet. And the first few days I want to be present when you meet. Okay?" She offers.

"Yes, thank you." I reply and a little smile grows on my lips. I'm gonna see Wanda again. I mean only when my mom is around which is kind of annoying but it's better than nothing. But kissing and cuddling probably won't happen because that would be weird, doing that in front of my mom.

"Good." She smiles a little and stands up. I also get up when she opens her arms to receive a hug and a kiss on my hair.
We are all good again. It took a few days for the both of us to completely calm down but we had some talks and it's all good now. She said she still trusted me but she wasn't happy about my lying. I apologized for that and we hugged it out.

Honestly, I really appreciate that. She was mad for a reason but as soon as we both weren't too caught up anymore, she searched for me to have a talk, without both of our emotions running wild. We both acted a little shitty, I probably more than she but still. She admitted that her reaction was maybe a little too strong and apologized for yelling at me.
I'm glad we worked it out and we are back to training two times a week which also shows me that she forgave me because when she's really mad at me, we don't train together because she doesn't want to accidentally hurt me.
Training feels good and it's been a while since I trained regularly but it helps to relieve some stress. 

The day after that, I see Wanda in the kitchen in the morning and it's a little strange. Partly because we haven't seen each other in two weeks and also just know being in her cell together and partly because mom is making eggs and watches our interaction closely.
I would have loved to pull Wanda into a hug and maybe even kiss her but not under the glare of my mom. Wanda also seems slightly uncomfortable and we both decide to just smile at each other shyly.

She sits at the dinning table and starts talking to Clint who came here to visit or something. I sit at the kitchen counter and watch as mom seems to relax a little bit and smiles at me.
"How did you sleep, malyschka?" She asks and hands me a water bottle. I take a sip and have to resist the urge to turn around to watch Wanda.
"Good, I really love the beds here, they are extremely comfy and I'm surprised by it every day new." I share and mom chuckles lightly.
"I'm glad you like the bed so much, it's really very comfortable." She agrees and walks around to sit next to me and to place a plate in front of me.

We eat in silence and when she grabs the plates to put them in the dishwasher, I risk a small look over to Wanda who catches it and smiles at me. Little butterflies erupt in my stomach and I blush a little.

School goes by quickly and I lounge in the living room, hoping to see Wanda again and I do. She walks by and smiles at me. Apparently she also knows about the rules because she looks quickly at my mom when she walks in, before Wanda leaves the room.
Mom's eyes follow her before she looks at me questioningly. I tell her that we didn't talk or anything and she nods, believing me.

It stays this tense over the next week and Wanda and I barely talk. We exchange a few words here and there but no longer conversation.

One time when I went to the gym to train with my mom, Wanda was also there, walking through to the shooting range. I felt her eyes on my body, that was covered in a leggings and a slightly tighter top. Our eyes meet for a few seconds and it distracted me enough for my mom to pin me to the ground. I brushed off the fact that I slightly blushed but mom still chuckled a bit.

One Friday afternoon, around a week after Wanda and I were allowed to see each other again, we bump into each other in the dining area. Since mom is close by and is watching us, I start talking to Wanda. She seems a bit intimidated by mom's glare but after a few minutes we both forget her.
"How are you?" I ask while we sit down at the table.
"I'm good, I think. It feels good to be out of the cell and to have a real room. Tony and Steve talked to me a lot after we got caught. They had a lot of questions but I'm glad they don't see me as a threat anymore. I was honestly quite excited to get out of my cell and the compound is impressive. It's huge and has so many levels. And it's also good, seeing you again. I missed you." The last few sentences she almost whispers, as if she was scared to admit that in front of my mom.

"I missed you too." I reply as quiet as she was and we smile at each other.
I enjoy looking into her wonderful eyes again and immediately get lost in them but since Wanda's eyes glare into mine as well, I think she doesn't mind. Our hands on the table slowly move towards each other and as our fingers touch, I feel excitement shoot through my body. But we don't move any further, knowing my mother is watching closely.

"What have you been up to? Except training?" Wanda asks with a wink and I blush, which makes her smile.
"Well, I spent some time in the forest around the compound." I answer loosely and when Wanda looks at me, waiting for me to continue, I do so, but quieter now because it's something I don't need everyone to know.

"I found a place that I really like and I went there to get out of the compound and breathe in some fresh air and to think and stuff." I share and watch as Wanda's eyes grow soft.
"That sounds kinda cute, I don't know why. But it does." She admits and blushes herself.
"Maybe one day you could show me that place? Only if you want to, of course." She asks, making sure I don't feel forced.
"I'd actually love to." I answer, a little surprised by my own answer but if I'm being honest, I always thought about Wanda when I built that shed. I really hope, I get to show it to her soon.
