Hey! I'm sorry for not updating my stories on Saturday! I had a major writer's block! I also know I shouldn't be writing a new story even though I have two stories waiting but both 'Juvia's new outfit' and 'her beautiful voice' are currently being beta read and I really can't hold this story in any longer.

"Marry me"

Chapter 1: the day we met!

It was a cloudy day that day. I ran down my usual path, scared that it might rain any minute and I would get wet. I was in work clothes which was a tight white shirt and a black skirt that went till my knees with black long boots. At least some part of my attire was helpful I running. I had a grey jacket on with the hood pulled over my head since the sky was roaring with thunder and to say the truth I have always been terrified by thunder. I ran, my hands clutching my hood tightly holding it in place. My head was bent low in fear as I ran through the deserted street. Suddenly…

Drip. Drop. The rain fell starting with a little drizzle. The sky threatened to start raining heavily and I ran faster and faster.

I was returning from work. It had been sunny in the morning and it was middle of summer anyway so I hadn't taken an umbrella or a coat with me from home today. I was regretting that decision of not taking anything with me now. Why in the world was it raining In the middle of summer anyway?

I ran faster and faster. The rain started falling heavier and heavier. This was not a good sign. This wasn't supposed to happen. I can't get my new clothes dirty anyway. I sighed in distress and ran. Just then,

Thud! I had knocked into something while running and fell on my butt. I looked up to see that It wasn't something I hand bumped into, it was a someone.

It was a man with striking pink hair. He was pretty handsome I have to admit. I mean who has pink hair these days? He had deep onyx eyes inside which you could stare at the universe. His muscles showed off how much he worked out in his tight shirt. His tie hung loosely on his shirt which gave him a sexy look. He looked like he had just returned from some work. The clothes were formal white shirt and a black pant. He was wet and his clothes were dripping with water making him look hotter than ever. How cliché hot and cool all over. Together.

I stared at him from the ground, the rain and thunder long forgotten. A second passed and he stared at me with intensity. We stared at each other for a few seconds more and his eyes widened like he suddenly realized who I was. I got confused. Did I know this guy? I was about to stand up when he outstretched a hand for me to get up. I accepted it gladly and placed my hand in his. But what happened next was unbelievable. His hand after catching mine jerked it to himself. My body jerked up with the sudden force he was pulling me with. And suddenly I was in his arms. He was holding me so close we were almost hugging. I was sure my face portrayed fear and shock but he never broke eye contact. He looked at me calmly his face softening but his voice stern when he said,

"Marry me!"

It took me a while to sink in his words. And when it did, my eyes grew wide in realization. I pushed him away from me and surprisingly he let me. Tears streamed down my face. Who did he think he was? He cannot just go around asking an unknown woman to marry him! This was absurd and completely insane! I wasn't a stripper or some woman who would just sleep with him for one night for money (A/N I don't know what the term is called)! No I am a sophisticated woman who works for a living! I was so angry.

"Never!" I said my fists balled with anger.

Tears were still pooling out of my eyes, Tears that were filled with both anger and fear at the same time. I ran from there afraid that if I stayed there one minute longer he was likely to make a move on me. I stole a glance behind my back and I saw him standing there. I ran and ran till I reached home.

I opened my door with the key and stepped inside. I closed the door once inside. With my back to the door I finally felt safe. I slid down to my knees, my legs no longer able to hold on and I cried.

I cried my heart out. Why? I had no idea but I just felt like it. When I was done I took a long relaxing bath and slipped into my pajamas. I lugged to my bed, not thinking of eating anything and fell asleep in an instant. I mean of course I was tired with all the running in the rain and crying on my door mat. A girl needs her beauty sleep doesn't she?

The next morning I woke up to the sunshine falling on me through the widow. I got up and got dressed in my work clothes (this one was a blue formal shirt with a black plant ad boots) after a bath. I prepared myself some yummy breakfast and ate it happily. I hoped today would be a good day as I walked to the company building.

I am Lucy Heartfilia and work at the Dragneel Company's main branch. I am a normal woman who works for a living. I am currently an accountant in the company but that boring job is not my dream. I always wanted to be a fashion designer and own a boutique. Not that I don't like to work here but I prefer my dream better. I mean this job is pretty fun considering I have some friends here. Namely: Erza, levy and Juvia. It's pretty fun chatting and eating with them in break.

And that's exactly what was going on right now: lunch break when Mirajane, the boss's assistant came to tell me that I need to visit the boss immediately. A strange excitement started building up in me when I reached the door. I had never seen the boss before but everybody always told me that he looked incredibly hot and he was always nice and kind to all his employs. I couldn't help but wonder how he'd actually look in person. But I was also worried on the reason I was suddenly called to the boss's office.

Mira pushed the door open for me to step in. I closed my eyes and sighed preparing myself to face whatever happened next. But little did I know that no amount of preparing would be enough to face this. I walked in to the plush office room. On the middle was a desk and the other side was a wall of glass. The boss was sitting on the chair facing the marvelous view outside. My footsteps grew louder in his ears as I neared the table. Mira hadn't entered the room even though she was the secretary. 'must be his orders' I thought and I was exactly right.

The chaired turned to face me and the man previously sitting on it walked towards me. I only caught a flash of pink hair before I fainted and he caught me.
