After that Steve and Natasha were having dinner when Natasha said
" You like her. Don't you? " She smirked

" Like, who? " Steve asked acting dumb

" Sarah, you asshole! " Natasha said making poker face.

" What? no... " Steve said confidently

" Well I never saw you giving free classes to anyone! " She smirked

Steve sighed he knew it's tough to win an argument with Natasha

" Listen she said it was really important for her to pass this test. She had some family issues. So I helped  her " Steve said shrugging his shoulders

" Well, I believe you , just kidding " Natasha chuckled

" I don't care what you think Romanoff " Steve scoffed.

" You do Rogers! " Natasha said with same attitude.
________________

As per the schedule Sarah went with Steve for studying next day.

Steve was a little lost he was thinking about the things Natasha told him .
He knew that Natasha is normally right about such things.

" Do I really like her??
Is Natasha right?
Am I just realizing it? "

His chain of thoughts were broken when he heard the someone coming inside.

Natasha came inside. She had a glass of red wine in her hand

" Not again! " Steve warned

" Sorry! " Natasha said and within blink of an eye steve's white tee shirt went pink.

" Bye! " Natasha sprinted out of the room and locked the door

" Nat I need to change. " Steve screamed

" You so do it. " Natasha giggled

" Let Sarah out " Steve grumbled

" Nope. She will be there only. You got such a hot body to show. Don't be shy!" Natasha giggled

Natasha knew Steve was a shy guy. He hated being shirtless in front of anyone and Natasha enjoyed pulling his leg

" Will you please look other way? " Steve asked

" Will I? I don't think so! " Sarah teased him

" Please come on. " Steve pleaded

" Okay. Okay " Sarah said and closed her eyes.

Steve pulled his shirt off and started looking for another in his cupboard.

Sarah glanced once as Steve's back was facing her!
She felt like his body was piece of art.
The way his each muscle flexed was enough for any girl to jump on him and kiss him..

And Sarah couldn't stop her from praising the view she had.

" You're extremely hot!! " Sarah said

Steve turned to her immediately to scold her or something like that but Sarah stopped him

" Wohooo. Real hot body! Those abs... Now i understand why every girl was asking so much about you " Sarah chukled

Steve quickly put his shirt on.

" I told you to close you eyes! " Steve said making an annoyed face. His face was red out of embarrassment.

" You're red. God you're just so cute! " Sarah giggled

" Should I open this?? " Natasha asked

" Yeah please " Steve grumbled

Sarah was laughed at their little banter.

" Let's concentrate back on calculus " Steve huffed.

" Sure! " Sarah smiled

________________

Next morning.

It was day for tests.

Sarah was extremely nervous. She was continuously rubbing her hands out of anxiety.

" Don't worry. You will pass. " Steve patted her back

" You really have that much faith in me? " Sarah smiled

" Nope. I have faith on my teaching skill. " Steve chuckled

Sarah let out a small laugh.
" Yeah right! " She chukled

Well, needless to say Steve aced it and Sarah did well too.

" You know what !  I will actually pass. Thanks to you " Sarah said smiling ear to ear.

" You worked hard. Credit goes to you" Steve smiled

Sarah smiled at him. Her eyes had some kind of sadness but Steve was unable to understand the reason

" You seem upset? What happened? " He asked

" It's just. I don't usually get credit for something good, most of time it's for bunking class, drinking or for being stoned. ... Even dad thinks that I am reasons of his problems... "

Sarah stopped midway she didn't have any right words

" Umm. Never mind. " Sarah grinned lazily

" No. No listen Sarah, Don't let any of them put you down, you are a hard working girl, you have that determination otherwise it's impossible to scoop up six month's syllabus in three day. Always know that you're capable of anything .... Anything! " Steve said holding her arm.

Sarah was moved by his Honesty. Steve said every with so much passion. No one ever made her feel this good, not even Sex with some hot stranger last year.
She felt a lump in her throat out of that overwhelming feeling

She hugged him tightly on her tiptoes . Steve wrapped his arms immediately around her and gave some comforting pats.
She took a deep breath ,his warmth was relaxing her in every way possible.
They broke the hug after a while with a smile on their faces.

" Yeah. I will keep that mind " Sarah said choking on her voice

" Okay... So,I will catch up later. I am gonna go for basketball practice , bye " Steve said and left.

A msg popped up on her phone it was from one of her friend.

" Party at Ray's " It said

" I won't come. Not feeling like it" She sent.

Sarah smiled. She had a lot to think. And for that she needed some peace.

A kind of peace which only Steve can provide.
