Sophia's POV

-So, what do you have planned then?.- Natasha asked through the phone and I sighed.

So, a little update in our lives. Today is currently July 3rd of 2014. Meaning Steve and I have been dating for four months now and also that tomorrow is Mr. America's birthday, literally.

And while I had a huge thing planned, somehow he knew I had something and he said he just wanted something really small. Of course I was not going to throw him a party like the one's Tony does (and like the one my brother offered to give to his friend but he declined), but I wanted something that could mean something to him and make him have a nice day.

At the end of the day, I realized just like him, that he was not going to be that comfortable with something big, so I decided to down low it a little and just make something small. It was just going to be the two of us and I was dying to show him what I had re-planned for his birthday.

-Well... I had planned something but he said or maybe hinted that if I had planned something big to basically make it smaller. And while I may not have toned it down as much as he asked, I planned something for just us so he could enjoy it better.- I replied to my friend as I walked down the stairs to the kitchen.

Steve was in his apartment, doing some cleaning.

After Sam left, we talked and we agreed that we'd start fixing his new place for him to move to. He was not located in Brooklyn at the moment, but he was a little closer to my area so it was easier for him and for me to meet and spend time with each other. It had been a little difficult for me to help him move out, because while he still had a bedroom here, he sometimes spent the night with me and we'd just fall asleep together, me clinging to him or just cuddling him.

But, at the same time, we knew we were not ready to actually move in together and live together because at the end of the day, we were still sort of new to our relationship and while we said we'd take it normal and steady this time, we were still not going to rush things.

-Well, I think that whatever you have planned for your man is going to be great.- Natasha said and I smiled. -Moving onto something else...- She said with a suggestive tone and I rolled my eyes.

-Nat...- I said in a warning tone but she completely ignored me.

-How have been your hot make-out sessions lately?.- It was as if I could almost see the smirk on her face as she said that and I rolled my eyes again.

Of course I had told Nat about my progress and the progress in Steve and I's relationship. Not much to violate the Captain's personal life and details, but enough for her to make suggestive comments every once in a while. Most of the time making me regret ever telling her as little as I had told her.

-They have stayed just like that. Make out sessions, nothing more. I don't really think it's time to take that step yet.- I said as I opened the fridge, taking out a bowl of grapes and some water.

-Why not?.- She asked as she chewed on something, I assume and hope, is food.

-Because.- I said and sighed. I took a grape to my mouth and chewed. -Because I don't think he is ready for that yet. I mean, knowing his story and his dating life from before he was in the ice, I'm pretty sure he didn't really had any experience in that field, and even though we have moved a little further in our relationship, I still think or believe that that is something he's not really up for as of now.- I said as I shrugged, quickly peaking my head to the main door, making sure he is not coming in or something.
