HOT - Chapter 1
Lucy Heartfilia has a strong belief in the zodiac signs and prophecies. One day, Cancer tells her that she will finally meet someone to "deeply like." So, she shows off her "appeal" as she works as a waitress. AU
THIS IS MY FIRST FANFICTION TO BE POSTED HERE.
Be aware that I am still new and I will appreciate the support! =)
-O-O-O-O-O-
"Please come again!"
After seeing the door close, a young blonde brown-eyed girl sighed.
"Lucy, the newspaper is here!" One of her friends in the restaurant kindly announced.
"Thanks, Mira!"
"Page 5," the short white-haired girl replied.
Lucy thanked her once again and she took the newspaper, quickly flipping through the pages.
Her eyes searched throughout the page.
'Fun portion.'
'Crosswords.'
'Q&A with a professional.'
'50% discount on clothes.'
Lucy's eyes stopped for a while on that article.
'No.'
Her eyes wandered around the page, inspecting every corner.
She looked up at her friend. "It's not here."
Mira shrugged. "Clothes? Thought you might be interested."
"I'm here for the daily-"
Mira let out a good-natured laugh. "I know. Next page. Bottommost part, left side."
Lucy followed and found the article she was searching for.
'Capricorn: Be wary and alert-'
'Aquarius: Do not-'
Lucy searched for her zodiac sign.
'Cancer.'
'You will meet someone new today that you will deeply like.
You'll be out of job.
You'll be happy for this day.'
"HUH?!"
"What is it, Lucy?"
"How can I be happy without a job? That's what Cancer says today."
"Maybe-"
"Mirajane and Lucy! Back to your work!"
That was the manager.
"YES!" the two dutifully replied and went back to their job, separating with little smiles.
Mira went to the kitchen, ready to assist the chefs.
While Lucy searched for new customers.
She was the waitress.
And she was a little excited for the day.
The entrance opened and in came a spiky black-haired and muscular young man.
Lucy noticed how his dark blue eyes moved around, as if searching for a table.
She was instantly sure that this one was a customer.
And he looked-
She shook her head.
Better get focused on the task first.
She went to the boy and guided him to a table.
After seating himself, Lucy gave him the menu.
The boy ignored the menu with a raised hand and said, "Cold water."
"Uhhmm…"
"You heard me."
And the boy put his face sideways in his palm, eyeing everything else in a bored way.
Lucy was tempted to say, 'Self-service for water and utensils.'
But she thought it wasn't worth it.
All the while, she had in her mind the though of 'Could it really be?'
And she would shake her head at times, thinking that it was still early to find out.
She brought a glass of water to his table.
And almost dropped the glass.
"WHY DON'T YOU HAVE A SHIRT?!" Lucy half-whispered, half-shouted.
"It's hot," the boy merely said.
"You don't do that in a public place!"
"I forgot where I put my shirt."
The boy shrugged and got his glass.
He gulped the water quickly and gave Lucy a penny. "My tip."
But he stayed on his seat, yawning slowly.
Lucy stared at him, speechless.
"Lucy, bring this order to table#5," the manager said.
"Of course!"
She went back to the counter and looked at the new tray of food, all thoughts of a while ago vanishing.
"That's a lot of spicy food," she remarked.
"That's the order," the manager said in a matter-of-factly voice. "And we give to our customers what they want from our menu."
Lucy nodded and carefully carried the tray to the certain table beside the transparent mirror.
She saw a lean, muscular young man of average height with a slightly tan skin tone, black eyes, and spiky pink-colored hair.
He was glaring at someone behind Lucy.
He was gesturing some threats, cracking his knuckles.
Lucy glanced behind and realized it was the man a while ago.
Apparently, they knew each other.
'Another idiot,' Lucy thought.
She placed the tray on the table and greeted the young man.
He looked at her with blazing eyes.
Lucy stood firm. "Your food, sir."
He gave one last threat at his rival, and then readied himself to eat.
But Lucy was curious about one thing.
"Hey, that's a lot of spicy food."
The young man grinned. "After a good hot meal, I always get fired up! And that's when I feel the best!"
"Would you want some drink?" Lucy politely asked.
"Nah. I want a warm stomach."
"But it's a hot weather today. Wouldn't you want something to cool you down?"
The young man already had food in his mouth.
"Bhis ish my dybe."
"What?"
He gulped down his food. "This is my type," he repeated.
"Oh."
Lucy knew she had to go. Talking to this stranger took long already.
"Thank you, sir. Enjoy your food!" She bowed.
The young man raised an eyebrow at her, no other visible reaction.
And Lucy left.
-O-O-O-O-O-
The day is still not done and some other things are yet to happen.
However, I am not sure when the next chapter will be up.
Hey, I'm up for some suggestions and help.
I'll be glad to hear a review!
