Tick. Tock. Tick. Tock.
"Ugh…"
The blonde woman leaned forward, resting her head on her desk.
*Come on. Ten more minutes.*
When she looked up again, she realized her head was partially on the keyboard, which lead to her spamming letters in an nonsense order.
"Shit!"
Quickly she deleted the redundant letters and words, if you can call them that, and let out a sigh of relief. Luckily the document didn't get damaged.
"What did you do now, Lu-chan? I heard you let out a little scream."
"Ah it's nothing Levy-chan, hehe. Just being clumsy like usual."
"Haha, oh Lu-chan, you better watch out that Erza-san doesn't find out about your little mistake."
"Yeah, we don't want the big boss getting angry at me again."

Lucy started sweating as she remembered the last time she messed up and her visit to her boss's office, who was Erza Scarlet.
The blonde woman let out the breath she was holding and adjusted her position in the chair, just like the glasses on her nose.
Erza was her boss, but also a good friend. She always said you have to distinguish between your private and your office life and she took it very serious. But who could blame her, this whole company was almost raised by the red haired girl herself, which is one of the reasons she was also known as Titania by the rival companies.
And of course she wouldn't want the company going to ruins just because a friend of hers messed up.
Unfortunately for Lucy, she was the one having trouble performing perfectly at her job since a couple of months now. That was not excusable, especially since she was the head secretary.

The young woman's eyes wandered once more to the ticking clock on the wall.
"Five more minutes till the break. Okay concentrate."

Lucy was a 24 years young woman, living on her own in the city of Magnolia. After graduating from college, her roommate Erza Scarlet decided to open up a trading company and offered her and some other friends a job. Of course she agreed to it. Now she owns a small apartment and has more than enough money to spend. It couldn't be any better, except for one thing. She was single. No, not only single, but she hadn't had any physical relationship with a man since three years.

The blond secretary leaned on her right hand, as she thought back to her last boyfriend. It was a bad experience. She thought they had something real going on, but it turned out that he was an undercover agent from a rival company, trying to get some insider information through Lucy. This went on for about half a year, before Erza saw through his scheme.
Every time they would meet outdoors, he would ask so many questions about the company and the plans for their business. This made him suspicious, so Erza investigated a bit more about him. The day before Lucy decided to take him with her to work and show him around a bit, Erza phoned her to come to her office alone, even though it was Lucy's day off. There she told her head secretary everything she found out about her boyfriend and that he is probably just using her.

Lucy was shocked. Not because of him apparently not loving her, but because she was so blind and didn't see the way he was using her. She immediately drove back home, where he was waiting for her and told him it was over and that he should leave, not even bothering to listen to his excuses.

That was not only the day she almost lost her job, because she put the company in danger, but also the day she swore to herself that she will only focus on her career and that there is no time for a man in her life. Especially since every single one could be a spy from a different company or maybe be just after her money. She had met plenty of these men. That's why she also decided to keep her job and income a secret and live in a small apartment instead of a big house, which she could easily afford.

*At least the sex was good I guess…*
"Okay girls, time for the break!"
*Finally! I just hope the topic is going be different then usually…*
"Damn girls, I had a dick of this size yesterday!"
*Never mind…*
"Cana! Quiet down a little now, would you! And there is no way it could be that big. You are exaggerating again."
"Why? It's just us girls here and we have a pause now anyway, right Erza?"
"Yes. As long as you behave professional again, the moment the break is over."
"See? And maybe I am exaggerating a bit, hehe. I was pretty drunk last night soo.."

Lucy watched as the gap between Cana's hands got smaller, but it still seemed pretty big.
*How does she do that? She gets drunk every night and ends up with someone in bed and the following day she is acting all professional…well until the pause that is.*
Lucy let out a small chuckle, which made the girls' attention focus on her now.
"Sooo Lucy, how is your manhunt going?"
Immediately all girls started chuckling and laughing, as they saw Lucy turning red as a tomato.

That was the only thing the blonde girl didn't like about the usual chatting. She knew that the conversations will always lead to her and her sex life. And like for the past three years, there is nothing to tell.
"The same as yesterday, and the day before; non-existent. So if you could stop asking me that, that would be great."
"I really hope it's not because of the incident with your last boyfriend, Lucy."
This time it was Erza who spoke, and Lucy was sure she heard a hint of guilt in her boss' voice.
"No it's fine, Erza. I just want to focus on my career an…Ahh!"
Suddenly Lucy felt something, or more like someone, pinch her left nipple.
"Wow, that was a pretty erotic moan there, Lucy."
Lucy's face turned red once more, but she also noticed that her moan didn't leave the other girls unaffected, as all of them were slightly blushing.
"What was that for Cana?"
"Aw come on, you can't tell me you don't need any action after that lewd sound that came out of your mouth. I bet it would be refreshing to just go and do it. You would feel so much more relaxed, believe me, I know what I'm talking about. What do you think how I'm able to withstand the stress? If you don't believe me, ask the other ones!"

Now Lucy noticed the blushes on the girls' faces getting even a shade deeper.
"Juvia agrees."
"Whoa Juvia, where did you come from?"
"Juvia just came from the second floor to join you girls as I overheard the conversation. But Cana-sama is right. Juvia has her lovely Gray, who takes good care of Juvia's needs whenever she needs him."
Because Juvia started daydreaming, Levy decided to go on.
"The same goes for Gajeel and me. It's not always sexual, though. Sometimes he just rubs my back or gives me a massage…which then leads to sex…but well…yeah.."
"But there are probably also different ways to get rid of the stress, right Erza?"
"That's true, Lucy. Even though I have to admit I prefer sex over other methods, too."
"What? You too, Erza? But with wh…oh wait. Is it that blue haired guy from the bakery? What was his name again? Oh right…Jellal!"
And with that all eyes were on Erza.
"What? Erza has met someone?"
"No way! Tell me more! Like how big is his dick?"
"Girls! Stop!"
*Success!*
A sly smile made its way onto Lucy's face, as she finally managed to distract the girls' attention from her till the end of the break.

"Finally done."
"Good job, Lu-chan! If you want I can go over the document, just to make sure everything is right."
"That would be great Levy-chan. Is it okay if I leave the document here and go home then? I feel so exhausted and I need a shower. It's been such a hot today."
"Yeh, sure Lucy. Do you want me to get someone to drive you home? I don't want you to collapse like the last time, when you overworked yourself."
"No need for it, Levy-chan. I'm going to call myself a taxi. I don't want to trouble anyone."
"You know you don't trouble us Lucy, but if you say so. Take care of yourself then and see you tomorrow."

Giving her best friend a hug, Lucy took her purse and went out of the building. Luckily for her, there was already a taxi waiting not far away. The secretary walked over the street and entered the car.
"Strawberry Street 25, please."
"Yes, ma'am."
Looking out of the window Lucy started thinking about her little issue.
*Maybe the girls are right. I mean I don't have to get a boyfriend, just a one-time thing maybe, just like Cana. It would probably help me a lot with my work, too, if I think about it. I would be able to focus better on all the documents and there would be no attachments. Hmm…but where do I get someone like that? I have no time to go out and search for a man myself. I mean I could ask Cana if she knows someone, but then I would never get rid of her jokes. No thanks. And if I call an escort or something like that? Ahh, I never done this before! Why is it so hard to find someone to fuck with?*
"So you work for the Fairy Tail company?"
"Huh?"

Lucy was so distracted that she completely forgot she wasn't alone. She couldn't see the driver clearly, the only thing she did notice was that he had pink hair and dark green eyes, that were watching her through the rear-view mirror.
*Pink hair, huh? Well that's new.*
"Uhm, yeah."
"Oh lucky you, I heard that the people who work there are well paid. Not like us taxi drivers."
"Maybe."
The young woman didn't feel comfortable talking about such a topic, especially since her last experience. She tried to signalize it to the drive by giving short answers and then turning her head away to stare out of the window. This way the little movement of the taxi driver was left unnoticed. She didn't catch him adjusting his rear-view mirror and having a better look at her.

Lucy had a professional look to her. Her long hair was tied up in a bun, she was wearing her black reading glasses and her face didn't contain a lot of makeup. She only had black mascara on and a nude lipstick. Her face was flawless enough, that she didn't need any kind of powder or foundation to cover it up and it seems that she was also slightly blushing.
*Probably the heat.*.
The drivers eyes shifted now towards her outfit. She was wearing a sleeveless white blouse with a small bow and a black tube skirt that reached till her knees.
*Classic, but pretty. This should be a piece of cake.*
What also didn't go unnoticed was the jewelry she was wearing. She was only wearing earrings and a bracelet,. To the average observe they seemed plain but an expert could easily tell their true value.
Unfortunately for Lucy, she didn't see the sly smirk appearing on the pink haired man's face.

"So are you living by yourself?"
Once more Lucy turned her attention to the driver.
*Why is he asking me that?*
"Uhm why do you want to know that?"
"Well a pretty lady like you should have someone to keep her safe. Especially a pretty and wealthy one. There are more than enough dangerous men, thieves, out there, looking for women who are living by themselves, so they can mug them. Particularly since I heard Salamander is in town."
"Salamander? That famous thief?"

Lucy didn't know a lot about the so called Salamander. Apparently he was the number one thief in whole Fiore. No one exactly knew the way he looked. The only things known about him is that he is in his mid-twenties and that he prefers going after wealthy women who live on their own
*I guess they are easy prey. At least he doesn't harm any of the victims. If I remember correctly, no woman has ever seen him. They only knew he was there because he would always leave a note with a red dragon behind.*
"So you've heard of him?"
"Yes. Thank you for your concern, but I can take care of myself. Also I don't think that the great Salamander would go after a woman like me. I'm not even that wealthy."
Of course this was a lie, but she didn't want to tell a stranger about the money she owned.

Lucy was starting to feel uneasy. She didn't drive with a taxi a lot, but she was sure that this wasn't a topic that should be discussed about. When she looked at the rear-view mirror, she could have sworn that for a second the driver was watching her and that he had a smirk on his face.
*Maybe it's just my imagination. I'm probably just too exhausted and misinterpreting stuff.*

"Okay miss, we are here. That would be 1500 jewels, please."
While Lucy was searching for her wallet in her little purse, she didn't notice the driver checking out her house and then turning his attention back to her, giving her a friendly smile, or more like a big grin.
"Here you go..."
"Natsu. The name is Natsu."
"Natsu. Well thank you for driving me home, Natsu. My name is Lucy."
"Anytime, ma'am."
"You don't have to call me ma'am. As I can see you are not much older than I am."
"As you wish, miss."
*Maybe I was really just paranoid. He seems much nicer now that I have a clear vision on his face. Actually he is quite handsome…*
"Uhm, miss?"
"Oh yeah, hehe, sorry. I was lost in my thoughts. Anyway here you go. Thank you for the ride once more, Natsu. Who knows, maybe we'll see each other again the next time I need a taxi. Bye."
Lucy quickly hurried out of the car, while trying to hide her blushing face. She felt so embarrassed that she was caught staring at the stranger.
*Man I really need some action…*

Natsu chuckled as he watched Lucy clumsily trying to open up the door to her apartment. Now that he saw her in an upright position, he was able to tell even more, how pretty she was. Her legs seemed endless and she had nice curves. He couldn't tell much about her chest size, because the fabric of the blouse was loose and didn't really emphasize it. But he was sure that it was at least a C cup. Catching himself staring at her, Natsu tried to sort his thoughts.

*Concentrate Natsu! You have to be professional about this. This is not a game. No matter how pretty she is, you only want the money.*
Looking back at his hands, that were still holding the money she gave him, he noticed that she even left a tip of 200 jewels. Afresh a smirk returned to his face. Looking up again he saw the door closing behind the blonde woman.
*Thank you for the tip Lucy, but this won't be enough. You will be surprised, but I might visit you sooner than you think.
Suddenly Natsu felt the sweat running down his forehead.
*Damn it's so hot today. Better take off my jacket.*

Stripping down his jacket, the big scarlet dragon tattoo on his left shoulder was bathed in the sunlight.
"See you soon, Luce."
Finally he put his sunglasses on and drove away.

Tada!
So what cha say, huh?
I feel like this chapter kinda sucked, but maybe it's just my imagination. .
I would really appreciate some feedback, so you can tell me your thoughts about the story and the chapter. They always make me so happy :3
Well till next time my Octopussies đź’›
