I stood there staring ahead dumbfoundedly as I watched Natsu run away in the distance. Did he really just invite me to one of his surfing competitions? I felt my face heat up. Why was I so happy anyways? It was just a man I just met today!
I sighed as I decided to head back to where my mom, Layla was, after all there was no point to over think things.

...

I laid in my bed. We had already arrived in our hotel room and unpacked everything. My room was actually pretty decent. It had a queen sized bed in the center, and the rest was pretty drab. It had a small, white dresser in the corner and the main color theme was a rosy red. Not really my cup of tea, but hey, how much better can it get?

I stared up at the ceiling, blankly. "Natsu Dragneel, huh?" I mumbled as I reached over and grabbed my phone, flipping it onto the internet. I typed in his name to at least see and know some things about him. I searched through a few articles and one particularly caught my eye.

Natsu Dragneel, Winner of the INA World Surfing Games

My eyes widened in shock. He was the winner? With curiosity getting the best of me, I decided to read more.

With more than 100 contenders and ten preliminary rounds, it was quite a fierce competition. In each of those ten rounds Dragneel never went any lower than the top three. On the last round, out of the ten surfers who were there, Dragneel came out on top winning an over four foot tall World Surfing Trophy! It was no easy feat either. Dragneel and Fullbuster; the second place winner; battled fiercely against California's fierce and tall waves.

Wow, Natsu was really something wasn't he? And I knew this guy! Over the excitement, I decided to text my best friend, Levy.

Omg,Levy you won't believe this! I just became friends with a celebrity! :))) XD

-Lucy

I sent the text and waited for a reply. A few seconds later, my phone buzzed.

Kyaaaaa! You did?! For real?! Who was it?

-Levy

I stared at my phone excitedly.

It's Nats-

Something stopped me in my tracks. Should I really let Levy know this? Or should I keep it a secret for a while longer? I don't know why, but somewhere in the back of my head was nagging me not to tell anyone until I asked Natsu first. I shrugged.

I met Justin Timberlake! XD XD

-Lucy

Haha,very funny. Like I'd believe that, Lu-chan! See you another time, me and Gajeel are actually pretty busy tight now.

-Levy

I scrunched up my face. I didn't even wanna think about what they were doing. I hopped out the bed and decided to start on my nightly routine; brush my teeth, take a shower, etc, etc.

Once I was done, I snuggled under the warm covers of my bed as anticipation built up awaiting for the next day to come.

And somehow...I finally got to sleep.

The Next Day

I walked onto the beach in a pair of white, loose shorts that stopped just above my knees. I also had on a loose pink t-shirt that had Shirahima Beach engraved onto it in white letters. After all, that was the beach we were at.

He said there was a surfing competition today, didn't he? I squinted into the distance and faintly, faintly I could see a dot of black in the distance.

With that dot leading me, I ran to it and as I got closer that dot turned into a huge swarm of people, till I was in the midst of it.

I shielded a hand over my eyes to dodge the sun's blinding rays. All I saw where people in swimsuits and stuff and none of those people were Natsu!

I was starting to get mad since he wasn't here as I stomped around in search for him. Where would surfers be right now?

I saw a large tent and I literally slapped myself in the face. How could I miss something so large? There was a long line waiting to get inside. Gosh it was gonna take forever to get in there!

After standing in line for about fifteen minutes, I suddenly heard a lot of girls squealing. I plugged my ears and tried to ignore it, but the screams were just so deafeningly loud I decided to see what all the commotion was about.

My eyes widened in shock as I stared at the figure walking down the long line. It was Natsu! He had bodyguards surrounding him, pushing girls away from him so no one could touch him. It looked like he was trying to find someone with the way his hands were cupped around his mouth and it looked like he was yelling something.

Lots of people were reaching there hands out to him screaming out his name. He stopped for a moment and sent a few girls bright smiles and touched some of there hands. They fainted on the spot.

As he neared my part of the line I could hear him more clearly.

"..Cy!"

..Ucy!"

"Lucy!"

"Lucy, where are you?!"

He was looking for me? Deciding I should respond, I started waving my hands around wildly. "Natsuu! I'm over here!" I yelled out.

He stopped for a moment and then looked around. "Lucy, is that you?" He yelled out searching back and forth.

I started jumping up and down waving my hands in front of my face. I should have been embarrassed but for some reason I wasn't the slightest.

"Natsu! Natsu, I'm right here!"

He turned his head once more and his eyes immediately brightened up, a wide smile etching his features. He started running over to me, his body guards following close behind.

When he finally made it up to me, he enveloped me in a huge bear hug taking the breath out of me. Suddenly, all the squeals of the girls stopped and they turned into angry snarls.

"Get away from Natsu-sama!"

"Hey, who does this bitch think she is?!"

"Get the fuck away from him you slut!"

"Natsu-sama, who is this girl?!"

All of these hurtful things were streaming into my ears and I felt like beating up all of these girls. Why did these people hate me so much over one little hug?

Natsu sent a glare at them. Something I thought I'd never see on his face. They all shut up that instant.

Taking advantage of the silence, I decided to give them a piece of my mind. "You all are calling me a bitch and a slut? Pitiful! You're just desperate little girls that need to get a life! Geez, no one would ever love snobby, low down people like you," I scoffed and grabbed Natsu's arm pulling him away.

His eyes widened in shock, before he began to laugh hysterically. "Wow, Lucy! Never seen a girl do that before," he chuckled in amusement.

I was about to respond to him, but large arms wrapped around me and pulled me away from him.

"Hey let go of me!" I yelled desperately clawing at there arms. "I'm with Natsu!"

One of them chuckled. "That's what all his little fan girls say."

"She's with me," Natsu reassured, trudging over to us. They immediately let go and I rotated my shoulders a bit to rid myself of the sore muscles.

"Oh, Natsu. Got you a girl now? Cool!" He made this weird sign with his fingers and he looked slightly drunk.

"Aye, Natsu. Good job!" The other stuck his tongue out which was rather weird. They didn't seem like the bodyguard type at all.

I saw a faint blush color Natsu's cheeks. "Bixlow, Bacchus!" He wined to both of them. "She's not my girl, she's just a friend."

"A friend?" I asked

He grinned widely. "Yeah, Lucy. Your my friend."

"Oh," Was all I could say.

"A friend...Blonde hair...Pretty face..." Bacchus muttered, then he snapped his fingers in realization. "This is that chick you were blabb-"

Natsu quickly covered up Bacchus's mouth, and looked rather flustered. "Bacchus, don't you dare say anything out of line," he warned.

The Bacchus guy just smirked, apparently unphased by Natsu's tone of voice.

I sat there, unbeknownst of anything, but then a sly smile formed on my face as I crossed my arms. "What were you saying about me Natsu?" I asked coyly.

He froze for a second and then sighed. "I just said I made a friend, okay?!"

I snickered. "Yeah, right."

"Bixlow, Bacchus, you can go back now," Natsu grumbled, pointing to the tent. They just shrugged their shoulders and left us two alone.

In the silence, Natsu looked at me for the first time in a while now. "Just forget they said anything, okay? They always tease me like that."

I nodded my head but still had my suspicions.

"All Surfers Competing in the Annual Shirahima Surfing Competion, please find your boards and come up to the front!" A man's voice yelled through the speaker.

"Well, that's my cue!" he sent me a soft smile. "Make sure to cheer for me, kay? I'll make sure to win!" And with that, he ran off closer to the shore.

I felt my cheeks heat up a but from his smile. I couldn't help but wish for the best. I just know he's gonna win!

Please review,follow,and fav! They really keep the chters coming and help to motivate me!
