"Is there anything else I can get you"? She asked her table. They waved her off and she turned around pulling the empty bottles of beer off her tables.
She had a slight hangover but it was manageable and if anything only made her push for more tips. She wanted to start pushing forward with becoming more financially stable. And this job would do good if she just kept at it and ignore all the side comments the customers threw at her. Even though she declined having Droy help her out, Cana went out of her way and made sure the security guard was never more than a quick walking distance away from her as she served her table.
Pulling up to another table she bent over in a sexual manner hoping to draw more attention. Normally she dislike having to show excess sexual appeal. But circumstances do change things. Tonight was finally a good night and she planned on making the best of it. She caught a couple of eyes ogling her breast. She might be a small girl, but she knew full well she had the full package. A small smile towards her customers and she turned away grabbing the empty bottles from the table.
Finding Lucy at the bar she placed the bottles downs. "hey lu, you okay?" Levy questions her friend who seemed obviously nervous. "Ummm, I think it's time I tell Natsu about my job here" she says looking over her environment. "it's not like I'm the one prancing around naked, so he shouldn't take it so badly right?" she says fidgeting with her bunny ears.
Throwing her arms around Lucy, levy grabs the bunny ears out of her hands, placing them back on her head. "you weren't shy before, don't be now" she says "if he can't handle all of your the things in your life, then he shouldn't be around"
Lucy smiles but then grimace again "it's not that easy, and you know it, this isn't exactly our dream job" she tells her. "no, but if it's help you build the money to achieve your dream, then that's all that matters" levy was very matter of fact about the situations. She knew guys would think negatively about her job. So she understood Lucy feeling. But they had a good amount of money saved up to make it all worth it. "you're right, after all this is where we became friends, as weird as that sounds" she giggles grabbing her cocktails she had ordered for her table.
Lucy was once up on stage, and when she was suppose to come out, she took on step out in her costume and was in tears. The men very rowdy that night seeing a new piece of meat, and she immediately went backstage to change her clothes and quit. Levy saw her on stage and normally would ignore the drama, but that night she decided to be nice since her shift ended early.
Going back stage she went to check on Lucy who threw herself on Levy and cried about being alone and scared. Once Lucy calmed down Levy took her home and Lucy was thrilled that someone could be so sweet to her. Lucy explained her life story and then connected with Levy as best friends from then on. The next day Levy convinced Cana to give Lucy another chance as a serve like her, and since then that two had finally help supported each other dreams. Lucy wanted to be a veterinary, and Levy wanted to be translator. So school and work took up a lot of their time.
"exactly and look at how much I love you" Levy exclaims pinching her cheek for added affection. Lucy sucks her teeth, slapping her hand away, but levy just laughs in response. "come on girl work your magic" Levy provokes Lucy. "I'm feeling pretty good today about my tips" levy says winking.
Taking on the challenge Lucy grabs her tray and very seductively walks over one of her tables. Immediately Levy regrets the challenge knowing she was gonna lose. She might have a good amount of her assets for her size. But Lucy was an hourglass blond, with blue eyes and an innocent looking smile. Levy on the other hand had blue hair that was cut into layers just above her shoulders. Her eyes were big and bright but she always had a baby face, which mean her being sexy was just not in her.
What started off as a good night quickly escalated into much more. There was a heavy crowd for some reason, and the money was practically being thrown in the air. Levy had to quickly double her pace as she ran around trying to cover all her tables. Lucy jump ontop of her. "they bought me shots!" Lucy squealed. Levy pulled her off a stern look on her face. Lucy on the other hand was a flushed pink and giggling. "you know you can't handle shots!" levy scolds her but Lucy only response by blowing her a kiss. This was gonna be a long night. Looking at the cash she had stuffed into little apron only showed it would be worth it.
"come on quit yapping and eat up" Levy scolds her as she shoves the fries in Lucy directions. Lucy stares at her hard as if trying to focus on what she just said. "what?" she laughs almost tipping off the chair. "you need something in you stomach" levy tells her grabbing a fry to two and actually shoving it into her mouth. Pulling away in disgust Lucy sticks her tongue out. "gosh you are so rude" she comments and then leans back in her chair taking a deep breath. "I'm sleepy" she says closing her eyes.
Lucy had over estimated how much she could take and was now drunk. Once their shift ended they headed to a 24/7 Cafe not too far from their job. That way she could have something in her stomach, she was going to regret those shots in the morning. Standing up she is about to pull Lucy from the booth.
"hello, ?" someone called out to her. Turning around she immediately located who called her. It was that guy she had crashed into at the restaurant the other night. "Umm hi" she comments surprised to see him there. "I believe this is yours" he tells her pulling out a small wallet. She had completely forgotten that she had told him to meet her after her shift. She was pretty drunk when she texted it.
"oh thank you, but you didn't have to wait so late into the night" she says grabbing her wallet she opened it. A small note was sticking out. It was a small post it when Lucy's number and the letter L to show it was Lucy. But anyone could have mistaken it to be her number. That's probably how he was able to get in contact with her. "thank you so much" she says again with a quick bow.
This guy was obviously a good foot taller than her. His long black hair now tied up into a bun. He had on beige dress pants and a red button up shirt. The shirt was opened revealing a black undershirt underneath it, that casually showed tense muscles and the formation of his pecks. The piercing still where she had last seen them.
He nods looking towards Lucy. "is your friend alright?" he questions looking at Lucy. Levy look back to Lucy who was now sliding down into her booth into a sleeping position. "Yeah she is fine, just you know, night life" she comments waving it off. Turning to her phone she quickly calls a cab before turning back to him. "I should really get her back home" levy says grabbing Lucy's hand and pulling her upright. "come on Lucy, to bed we go"
It was moments like these that levy hated her height. Even though she could sit her up there was no way she could bring her into a cab much less into their apartment that had a walk up. "at least try to stay awake" she scolds her pulling her into a sitting position, only for Lucy to slump back down. The taxi beeped outside letting her know it there. "shit the cab" again she yanks Lucy into a sitting position, which she finally stays in but is not waking up at all.
"would you like some help?" he comments tapping her shoulder. She is about to shake her head no, but the taxi beeps again getting impatient. "oh okay, please, if you don't mind" she asks Stepping aside. In a swift motion he grabs Lucy in a bridal style as if she weighed nothing. "right" levy says and she leads the way to the cab. Getting inside the cab first she makes space for Lucy to be pushed beside her. "she isn't going to be up anytime soon" he comments sliding Lucy next to levy, and then seating himself down as he closes the door.
Levy looks at him shock as the car makes its way to her house. "um you don't have to go out of you way to bring her back with me" levy explains. "it's fine I'll just take a cab back afterwards" he explains. "besides you couldn't even sit her up, I doubt you will be able to bring her into your place."
Damn he was right, it was nice of him to think about it. Or he was probably a killer and will waiting for a chance when it shows up. The ride back was quiet, ever so often his phone would ring and he would reply back. But besides that it became a little awkward for her.
Once at their address, levy steps out to help with Lucy, but he manages with ease. Turning around she decided to stick they key in the door knob, without turn it. "it's okay I can take it from here" she explains leaning her back against the door as if she shield him from going in. He looks at her a little confused then nods standing Lucy up on her feet. Still out like a log she falls to the floor, or would have if levy didn't rush to catch her. But the sleeping blond was still too heavy for levy and she struggle to stay standing. "are you sure you don't need my help, I'm not a serial killer, if you are worried" he explains as if reading her thought.
She was soo gonna kill Lucy tomorrow. "okay fine just the couch" levy explains shoving Lucy's dead weight back into his arms. Opening the door she leads him inside and to the couch. Immediately Lucy reaches for the closest pillow she could find and curls into a ball. She can't stand but she can do that!
Looking back at him she smiles bashful "Umm thank you, I could show you where the door is" she says quiet nervous. Nodding he turns around making his way to the door. "pleasure to see you again levy, I hope I didn't intrude, you seemed like you needed hell was all" he explains once outside and down the stairs. Maybe she was too quick to think the worst. "wait, Umm, thank you for the wallet and for helping her, what's your name?" she questions
He turns around a small sincere smile on his face. "gajeel redfox" he says. His smile was very adorable. Like that kind of man that doesn't smile much so it would be a rare thing to see. "is there anything I can do to take repay you for your time?" she questions him. His smiles gets bigger "yeah, have dinner with me". Damn maybe she it was best if she stuck to her first thought. "uhhh" she did find him attractive and did hell her out. But it took her this long to even know his name. "I'm sorry, but I don't really know you" she replies getting ready to explain herself.
"that's what dinner is for" he comments hailing a cab that was driving by. "I work during the night time" she replies again faster than thinking. "see you tomorrow at 11 then, for brunch, I'll pick you up" he says and gets into the cab leaving no room for rejection. Well shit…. That just happened.
Going back into the house she locks the door. Lucy still fast sleep on the couch and cuddling with the pillow. Sucking her teeth she threw a pillow at her and went to bed. She didn't want to admit she was curious to know who he was.
