~PREVIOUSLY ON THE LAST CHAPTER~
"Natsu and Lucy would be wed!"
"Definitely!"
Lucy Heartfillia, 17 and almost 18 years of age is the daughter to a wealthy daughter to the Heartfillia's. She was always treated like a Princess but she was allowed to do anything she pleased.
She is a very cheerful and beautiful woman, never so spoiled or mean. Someone who everyone liked. She also had a bad side which nobody wanted to see.
Lucy sat at her desk as she wrote in her novel, something she always dreamed of accomplishing. Becoming an author was one of her dream goals.
She heard a knock on her door and soon her mother came in. Lucy smiled as she stood up, putting her things away.
"Mama! What can I do for you?" She smiled. Layla smiled back at her. "Lucy, we're going out. You should get ready."
"Alright, where are we going?"
"You'll see. Now hurry now! You know papa hates waiting."
"Yes, ma'am!" Lucy said as she ran to her bathroom. She took a quick shower and came out, drying her hair and getting dressed. Lucy pulled on a blue blouse and skinny jeans. She wore heels and did everything else.
She really didn't like wearing dresses since she always wore them when she was younger and she hated it.
She tries not to wear dresses and so she wore pants most of the time now.
She quickly went out to the carriage and got in next to her mother. Layla smiled as Judo frowned in disappointment.
"Lucy, you should have worn something more appropriate."
"Isn't this appropriate?"
"No, a dress would have been better. Like your mother."
"Honey, it's alright. It's not that special." Layla tucked a strain of hair behind her ear and kissed the top of her head.
Lucy smiled and snickered silently as Judo sighed. Moments passed until they came to a halt. "We're here, Mr. and Mrs. Heartfillia."
"Thank you." Judo said as the three got out of the carriage and headed into the big house. Lucy was in awe as she looked around. Everything was so beautiful and so clean. Nothing compared to her house.
The three came inside going to the living room, sitting down and waiting. "This place is so nice." Lucy commented.
"Isn't it?"
"Yup. Have you been here mama?"
"Of course I have."
"When?" Layla giggled and pat her hand. "Just wait a bit." She winked. Lucy sighed and leaned back on the sofa, putting her right leg over her left.
What were they doing here? Where are they in the first place?
"I have to use the bathroom." Lucy said as she stood up. A maid showed her the way and Lucy looked around then finally going inside the bathroom. The bathroom was also so clean.
After using the bathroom and checking herself in the mirror she opened the door, turning to her right she smashed into someone.
Lucy fell on top of someone and they felt really warm and sort of sweaty.
She looked up and her eyes widen as she saw a boy about her age looking at her with his eyebrow raised. "Who the hell are you?"
"Is that the way you say hi to people?"
"I asked who you are."
"Hi to you too then." Lucy said standing up and dusting herself off. She held her hand out and he grabbed it, standing up.
"Who are you? What are you doing in my house?" He asked. Lucy had to tilt her head upwards as she looked at the tall stranger. "I'm Lucy and I have no idea. My parents came here taking me along with them."
"Oh, hi Luigi. I'm Natsu."
"LUCY." She glared. He smirked and ruffled her hair. "You're weird." Lucy kept glaring as she tried fixing her hair. "Says the guy who has pink hair. . ." She mumbled.
"Oi! My dad has red hair!"
"Good to know, Pinky." Natsu glared at her. "My name is Natsu, Blondie." Lucy glared at him this time. "I thought you were going to be nice."
"And I thought you were going to be pretty." Lucy gasped as she smacked him. "Jerk."
"Weirdo."
"I'm not weird!"
"Uh, yeah you are."
"Shut up!"
"Make me." Natsu smirked looking down on her. "Don't think that I can't hurt you because I'm shorter and a girl." Lucy growled.
"I would like to see you try." Lucy smiled and kicked his leg making him yelp in pain. "You damn blonde, why'd you kick me?" He hissed. "You said you wanted to see."
"I didn't think you'll do it."
"Well I did." Natsu stood up again glaring at her. "You think you're so smart?"
"I definitely know I'm smarter than you."
"Why you -!" Lucy kicked his leg again and he hisses in pain clutching on it again. "See?" Lucy smiled as she walked away from him. "Bitch. . ." Natsu muttered as he watched her walk away.
He limped towards his room to shower and get dressed. He heard that his parents invited someone over and they were bringing their daughter with them. '
If that's their daughter . . . Tch.' Natsu thought as he dressed into a t-shirt and jeans. He walked down to the living room and he saw his parents there talking with the other family. Lucy was there too, smiling all innocently.
Lucy glanced towards his direction and smiled wickedly. Natsu snorted walking towards his parents and sitting down in next to his mom.
"Natsu, honey!" Grandine smiled. "Yeah. . ."
"Where'd you run off to?"
"I shot some hoops."
"Oh, a basketball player?" Layla smiled. "Sort of." Natsu shrugged. "Anyways, Lucy this is Natsu." Layla said pointing at Natsu.
"Oh I know." Lucy smiled looking at Natsu with her one of her legs on top of her other. Natsu glared at her and leaned against the couch. "You do?"
"Yup, we met on the way back."
"I see, isn't he handsome?" Lucy stared at Natsu and smiled sweetly. "Of course, he's just so handsome and cute I want to hug him to death." Natsu leaned forward as he put his elbows on his knees.
"Yeah, Lucy is such a cutie." Natsu smirked staring at the blonde. Lucy looked at him in disgust but held a smile to cover it.
"So cute I just want to keep her." Natsu grinned. 'And torture her.'
"Well then what we're going to say makes it easier." Grandine smiled. Natsu and Lucy looked at Grandine, confused.
"You two are going to get married!" Natsu and Lucy's eyes widen as the exchanged looks and shot up in their seats.
"Marry? I hate this idiot!" They yelled in unison pointing to one another. "Idiot? Who are you calling an idiot?" They glared at each other once more.
"Stop copying me!"
"Pinky, stop saying what I'm saying!"
"I can say what I want, Blondie."
"You little-!", "Lucy-Chan. Don't you like Natsu?" Grandine asked. Lucy faced Grandine and smiled sweetly. "Of course I love Natsu."
"Ew."
"I love Natsu to die in a hole." The adults gasped as Natsu grabbed Lucy wrist and smirked devilishly. "Oh Lucy-Chan. You're so funny." His grip tightened and Lucy winced in pain.
"I was laughing so much when we first met too. Why are you so funny?" He gripped tighter making Lucy's hand go numb.
"Oh, you were joking?" Grandine laughed softly. "Of course she was." Natsu said looking at Lucy. "Let go of my hand, freak." Lucy whispered glaring at him.
"Sure I'll take you on a walk! Let's go!" Natsu yanked her arm and pushed her out the door.
"We'll be back, please excuse us." Natsu grinned leaving with Lucy. A long silence came between the adults and Igneel spoke up.
"Lucy's a very beautiful and charming young lady."
"Don't forget scary."
~X~
"Ouch, I said to let go of me freak! I didn't want a walk!"
"Just shut up and follow me you loud mouth."
"WHO ARE YOU CALLING A LOUD MOUTH, ASSHOLE?" Natsu let her wrist go and stopped in front of the garden, facing her. Lucy stared at him rubbing her wrist. "That hurt."
"Look here, big boobs –", "ITS LUCY AND DON'T LOOK AT MY CHEST!" Lucy screeched covering her chest and blushing hard.
Natsu scoffed and rolled his eyes. "Anyways what my mom said is definitely a big NO. I'm not marrying someone like you."
"I won't agree to it anyways. I don't want to marry you; I want to marry someone I love."
"Then go tell my mom."
"I would have if you didn't drag me out here!" Lucy yelled while Natsu smirked. "You're quite interesting." Lucy blushed in embarrassment and tried looking mad.
"S-Shut up! Take me back you jerk!" Natsu ignored her as he turned the other way and started walking.
"Hey! Where are you going?" Lucy yelled. "Back inside, you better follow before you get lost." Lucy huffed and quickly ran after him.
He's such an ass.
Lucy bowed in front of the adults as Natsu stood behind her. "I'm sorry but I refuse to marry Natsu." Lucy said. Grandine and Layla both gasped as Igneel and Judo stared at her wide eyed.
"Lucy. . ." Layla said. "Sorry mother, but I want to marry someone I love. I . . . really don't like Natsu."
"Sorry, Honey. But it's already been decided."
"Don't I have my own freedom to marry whoever I want?"
"But we already decided this. We can't just switch."
"Mom! Dad! I don't want to marry her!" Natsu said pointing towards Lucy. "Natsu, stop arguing and accept what fate had given you." Grandine scolded.
"This has nothing to do with fate! Dad!" Natsu looked at Igneel. Igneel sighed and shook his head.
"You should get to know Lucy-Chan more. I'm sure you'll love her."
"I do know her, and I don't like her."
"Mama, Papa. . ." Lucy begged looking at them. "It's been decided since you two weren't even born. Get to know each other; you two will fall in love with each other immediately." Lucy huffed and crossed her arms across her chest.
"I refuse to."
"Same here."
"Kyaah!" Lucy screamed as she fell on the floor on top of Natsu. "Enjoy." Igneel grinned closing the door then locking it. Lucy quickly stood up, jiggling the door knob.
"It's no use. We're locked in here." Natsu said standing up and dusting himself off. "No! I will not be trapped in here!" Lucy yelled banging on the door.
"Mama! Papa! Someone! Please help!"
"The door is sound proof too."
"Damn it, why?"
"How should I know?" Lucy groaned in frustration as she saw a window. She quickly went towards it but then a bar fence covered it up.
Lucy opened the doors to the balcony and looked down. She quickly pulled back falling down on her butt. Natsu went to her side, grabbing her and lifting her up a bit.
"Uhh, are you okay?"
"T – Too high up. . ."
"What?" Lucy pointed towards the balcony and Natsu went towards it, looking down. They were all the way up in the third floor.
"You're afraid of heights?"
"And the dark, and lightning, and some other stuff. . ."
"Damn, you're a wuss."
"It's called being a girl, thank you very much." Natsu snorted and shook his head. "I know a girl who's scary as crap."
"Oh really? Who is she?"
"Her name is Erza. She's like a monster." Lucy laughed and tsked. "I don't believe you."
"You should. I'm going to be your husband soon." Lucy stopped laughing as her face heated up. Her cheeks burned a healthy pink and Natsu grinned, satisfied.
"How cute, you even have a cute side to you."
"N-No! Shut up!" Natsu snickered again and looked outside. "I wonder how long we have to stay in here. . ."
"I hope not so long. I have a life to live!" Lucy shouted going back inside. Natsu rolled his eyes and followed her in. "I have to meet up with people tomorrow. . ." Natsu sighed.
"Guess your little play date is canceled. Boo-hoo." Natsu glared at her and Lucy smiled mockingly. "You sure are pissing me off."
"Good, my job here is done." Lucy said lying down on the bed. "Hey big boobs, are you asleep?" Natsu asked.
"MY NAME IS LUCY." She screeched making Natsu snicker. "Oh well, might as well get used to you." Natsu walked over to her bed, sitting on the edge.
"Come on; let me know more things about you."
"I don't want to. I don't like you even one bit so end of conversation."
"Aren't you nice?"
"I know, thank you." Natsu huffed and turned around, poking her side. Lucy let out a squeal as she jerked, sitting up straight. "Get up and tell me some things about you."
"No."
"Okay then I'll start."
"I said no you dimwit."
"I was born on the first day of summer and raised here my whole life." He started while Lucy groaned covering her face with the pillow.
"I have a blue cat named Happy and I also have a little sister named Wendy. She's 6 years younger than us and right now at our grandma's house. She's trying to become a doctor and our grandma helping her out with her studies. I also –", "How long are you going to keep talking?"
"As long as I want to. Why don't you start then?"
"Fine then." Lucy sighed sitting up and hugging the pillow between her arms.
"I was born on the first day July. . . I'm an only child and my favorite color is blue." Lucy tried thinking of more things to say. "What do you like to do?"
"I like to read and write."
"How boring." Lucy shot him a dirty look and Natsu continued. "Been on a date before?"
"No."
"Boyfriend?"
"Nope."
"Man, your life is a piece of shit." Natsu said looking at her and putting a sympathetic hand on her shoulder. Lucy glared at him swatting his hand away.
"Like your life is more fun than mine." Natsu grinned widely. "Of course!" Lucy rolled her eyes at him. "Fine, fine. Last question,"
"Lay it on me."
"Have you ever been kissed?" Lucy looked at him with her eyebrow raised. "Kissed?"
"Yup." Lucy stared at him for a while before shaking her head. "No. Have you?" Natsu grinned nodding.
Lucy's lips involuntarily turned into a pout. Somehow it made her feel a bit jealous. "O-Oh. . . Who's the girl?"
"She's very beautiful but she can be a real bitch."
"How long have you known each other?"
"Met today."
"And you two kissed?"
"Yup. You see?" Natsu leaned forward, his lips meeting Lucy's. Lucy's eyes widen as she looked at Natsu who was kissing her. Lucy's hands moved up to his chest, trying to push him away but she sunk into it.
She moved her hands around his neck and kissed him back, blushing madly.
Natsu grinned and pulled back a bit, keeping his arms around her waists.
"Hey. . . I think I sort of fallen for you."
"I think so too."
