New story, The idea from a game called 'Two Bedroom Story' xD :) Just though it would be a bit of fun
Please note, that although the first few chapters are like the game, later it takes its own direction from my own ideas.
But I don't own the general idea.
Disclaimer: I own nothing at all.
Chapter 1
"Yeah dad," I say as I speed walk as fast as possible in my heels, in a huff, "I'll talk to you later at home, I'm going to be late for work."
I enter the tall skyscraper; the gleaming light reflects off the glass.
I rush to the machine after the entrance and reception desk. I just made it.
I sigh in relief as I feel around my black purse to get my ID card so I can enter, Oh no, my ID pass...
I left it at home, didn't I?
"Jeez, are you planning on standing there all day?" An agitated voice sneaks up from behind me.
"Sorry," I start as I turn around, "I-"
I freeze in my spot when I see Natsu Dragneel. He's one of the higher ups who work in the Elite team - only for the best.
Everyone adores the Elite group and every girl thinks Natsu is cute - including me...
But I've never actually had him spoken to me, even his voice is hot.
"What you staring at?" He says with annoyance, "Move dopey!"
"I-I'm so sorry." I apologize.
He pushes past, ID card above his head, his handsome features twisted in mild annoyance.
He might be good looking and all, but he's so rude! That puts me off straight away.
"Flame head didn't have to talk to you like that." A calmer voice sneaks up from behind me again. Flame head?
"Huh?" I turn in question.
It's another member from the Elite team - Gray Fullbuster.
His expression is a lot kinder than Natsu's.
"Hey." He smiles in a cool way.
"Bad luck bumping into Mr. Moody, first thing." He laughs, "Come on now, after you."
"Thank you." I say as I finally find my ID card. I knew I didn't leave it at home.
Gray is popular with the girls too. Don't even get me started on Juvia...
"Some people around here can seem pretty scary," Gray tells me as we walk side by side.
"You mean Natsu?" I ask.
"Who else?" He laughs.
Then Natsu rushes up to us from nowhere; even though he was pretty far ahead.
"Hey, Ice princess, what are you whispering about?" Natsu says in a way that kind of scares me, "Who's scary?"
Ice princess?
He looks at me - eek!
But I say nothing.
"Look Pinky, you're scarin' her!" Gray points at my nervous face.
"I haven't even done anything!" Natsu raises his voice and glances at me.
"He may seem like a scary guy but really he's just a big baby." Gray sniggers.
"What you say?" Natsu flares at him, "At least I'm not a dam ass stripper!"
"What was that?" Gray glares back at him.
Stripper? What's with the weird nicknames?
I quietly slip away into a tightly crowded elevator. What a squeeze...
I then step on someone's shoe.
"I'm sorry!" I look up to see a black haired boy - Rogue Chenney! Another Elite!
"It's okay." He says quietly.
I try hard to keep my balance but I can feel people pushing me and my back is literally touching his chest. I'm invading Rogue's personal space.
"Sorry..." I whisper again nervously, the stuffiness of the elevator certainly didn't help.
"Okay." He seemed unphased.
The elevator finally opens after the 'Ping' sound.
I hurry out but I'm stopped by my hair getting tugged.
"Ah..." I squint at the sudden prick of the pull.
"Your hair." He starts, "It's caught."
I look to see my hair caught in his button. Was I really that close to him? Gosh this is embarrassing.
"Sorry! I'll just er-" I try to pull my hair; taking no care at all so he can leave.
"Let go for a minute." He says calmly and I obey.
He gentle teases my hair free with his slender fingers.
"There." He says.
"Thanks-" I say but he's already gone, out the elevator.
I hurry out of the elevator and stare at him disappearing down the corridor.
He sure is in a hurry.
"You have a bad morning? Don't tell me it was Rogue." I swivel around in surprise - Sting Eucliffe. No, no he's not an Elite, he just works in the same department as me, "It could have been worse."
"Hey Sting," I greet.
"Blondie, you're gonna be late you know?" Sting smirks.
"Oh-!" I gasp. I can't afford to just stand around.
"Gotta go," He looks at his watch and walks down the corridor, "Catch you later."
"Yeah bye!" I wave as I rush down the corridor.
"Morning, Lu-chan!" Levy smiles as I reach my desk and computer.
"Hey Levy-chan!" I smile back.
"Did something happen? You seem tired already." She asks.
"Is it that obvious?" I sigh.
"Were best friends, you think it'd go unnoticed?" Levy raises her eyebrows.
"Well no..." I sigh.
"So what happened?" She asks again.
"Just happened to have encounters with the Elites..." I sigh.
Her eyes widen, "The Elites!"
"Did someone say the Elites?" Mira eyes dart around then dashes up to us.
Mira doesn't miss a thing when it comes to the gossip.
"Lu-chan had encounters with the Elites!" Levy tells Mira.
Mira gasps, "How? Where? What? Who?"
"First Natsu..." I mumble.
"Natsu!" I hear other girls squeal as Lisanna, Juvia and other girls begin to surround me
"What's going on here?" SHE stomps over, every step causes the ground to shake and in an instant everyone scatters other than me and Levy.
"Not only do you cause a commotion, but you messed up the figures I asked you to do the other day!" The Chief Editor folds her arms and shouts.
"Sorry Erza ..." I murmur.
"Get it done by lunchtime, you bring it straight to me." She demands firmly, "Is that clear, Lucy?"
"Of course, I'm really sorry." I say over apologetically and she walks away.
"Ooh that was bad...Are you okay?" Levy asks.
"Yeah..." I shrug, "Erza is so scary..."
"She is the boss." Levy nods.
I wait outside the door the Elites meeting room for Erza since Juvia said she was here.
It must be great working in the Elites team though...
"You're in the way." A voice speaks coldly. I look up and see Rogue standing in front of me, with the door open.
"Sorry, is the meeting over?" I shake out of my daze and as Rogue stares at me silently.
I stare back for moments, unsure of what to do. I let him pass and the door shuts behind him. What's his deal?
"Hey Lucy," Sting peers from behind me, "Saw you gazing at each other!"
"Sting! We were not!" I side glance a frown at him.
"Givin' ya the cold shoulder now, is he?" Sting asks as he places his hands on my shoulders.
I shrug.
"Well why don't you try staring at me instead?" Sting whispers in my ear. I turn around and see his devilish smile.
"Haha, just kidding. See you later, Blondie." He waves and walks away.
"Bye and you're blonde too!" I shout.
"You! Didn't I bump into you this morning?" Gray opens the door and holds it open for me.
"Yeah," I nod and then walk through the door, "Thanks."
"No problem." He says as he walks out after I walked in.
Suddenly someone bumps into me.
"Whoa!" An annoyed voice shouts.
The shock of the collision passes and I notice my blouse is wet.
"Watch where you're going!" Natsu shouts, "You got dam coffee all over me!"
"I'm sorry..." I say, "I didn't see you coming."
"Oh it's you." He recognises, "Little Miss Dopey. What you doing here?"
I can feel my blood boil.
"That isn't my name." I leer at him.
"Like I give a crap." He grunts.
He's so rude!
I give him an appalled look.
"So answer me?" He demands.
"Hm?" I raise an eyebrow.
"What you doing here?" He sighs.
"I need to see the Chief Editor." I respond.
"Erza?" He retorts, "She left ages ago but you're too Dopey to notice!"
"Oh really?" I frown as I try to turn to the door, "I'll get out of your way then."
"Not so fast." He grabs my arm and spins me around, "I've got coffee on my shirt thanks to you."
I just stare, what does he want me to do? Wash it for him?
"Don't you know how to apologize?" He shakes his head.
"I did before!" I place my hands on my hips.
"Say it again." He narrows his eyes.
"I'm so sorry." I say sarcastically.
"You think you're a little smart ass?" He smirks, "Now take off your clothes."
"Excuse me?" I hawk.
"You heard me." He stares at me blankly.
I try to back up but my back just hits the wall and he grabs my arm.
"Or maybe you'd prefer if I got 'em off?" He smirk devilishly.
"What?! You pervert?!" I shout as I hit his arm to loosen his grip.
"Come on make it quick, I don't like waiting." He persists as he smirk grows wider.
I freeze. Is this what the Elites are like? Just because all the girls swoon over them?
Suddenly he bursts into laughter, "Ha ha! Did you see your face? You thought I was serious!"
"Who do you think I am? That dam stripper?" Natsu continues laughing.
"What?" I stare.
"I was just kidding." He recovers from laughter and hands me a handkerchief, "Wipe it before the stain sets."
"Thanks." I murmur; slightly embarrassed as I wipe my blouse, "But what about you?"
"Luckily, most of the coffee when on you." He smiles, "And sorry for teasing you."
"But you better learn how to brush men off, or you're gonna be in serious trouble." He tells me.
"I can manage." I say seriously.
"Calm down woman." He laughs and I move out of the way so he can leave.
I put the handkerchief in my pocket and hurry off to find Erza, though I swear she was in there?
I get home and see Dad.
"Hello." I greet.
"Hello Lucy, I have something to tell you." Dad says seriously and gestures for me to take a seat.
I wait uneasily.
"I'm getting remarried." He says.
"What?!" I gape as I stand up.
A woman with pink long hair enters.
"You must be Lucy?" She smiles.
I just smile half heartedly.
"Sorry, I know this is sudden for you." She smiles apologetically.
"Do you object Lucy?" Dad's eyes widen.
I look down for a moment.
"No...I just want you to be happy..." I mumble.
"If you need time to adjust we can put it off for awhile?" Dad suggests.
"No no." I shake my head, "I'm fine!"
"You don't mind?" She says in shock.
"My father has been a lot happier lately, probably thanks to you." I smile; masking any doubts inside.
"I'm so glad Lucy, I thought this wouldn't go so well." Dad smiles, "You'll look after her right dear?"
"Of course! I've always wanted a daughter!" She smiles happily.
"You can continue living here, don't worry!" Dad reassures.
"No," I refuse, "It's a good opportunity to find my own place."
"I'm sorry; this is going to affect you a lot?" She looks at me.
"No its fine." I shake my head, "I just want you two enjoy your lives."
"You could live at my house? Since I'll be moving here." She says.
"No no, I couldn't!" I refuse desperately out of kindness.
"Nonsense! You are my daughter! I don't even use that house, dear." She explains.
"But I-" I sigh.
"I just want you to accept me, so please." She insists.
"Okay...thank you..." I accept reluctantly.
Then we all eat dinner together. Well I suppose it won't be too bad.
