Cha. 2: Let's Dance


Lucy was dragged out of her chair to a smaller dancing space. The blonde was taken back about the fact that the person who asked her to dance was non other than the server. Her mind became foggy and her legs were not cooperating, shaking on each step she took.

"OH, NONONONONO" she tried staggering back, pulling her arm away from his grasp. She was absolutely sure her face was pure red. How lonesome she must had looked for one of the employees to come and asked her out. She couldn't stop shaking her head from the embarrassment.

"I'm not taking a no for an answer, just letting ya know" The young man let loose of his grasp and turned to Lucy. Unexpectedly, his arms started to move up in the air in a slow controlling motion. His face became blank with each beat the music played his joints locked and then release moving mechanically. She couldn't help noticed his broad shoulder in all this movement. Is he dancing the robot? She marveled. As impressive his dance moves were the blonde couldn't stop the sudden burst of laughter.

He stopped. "Oh yeah, then dance." He waved his index finger in the air, signaling her to step up for the challenge.

Lucy couldn't see his face very well with the low lights but she could definitely note he was pouting.

"I-I'm, I-I'm sorry but I wasn't expecting that" she snickered uncontrollably.

"And here I thought I should helped out a weirdo" he approached her, crossing his hands around his chest. She notice one his eyebrow rising up taunting her on who really is the strange one here?

Now that, that, she saw. "UUUGH" she growled cupping her face inside her hands.

"I knew it! I DID look weird" She cried out.

"Hmm, weird doesn't cut it"

She wanted to disappear but she did have to admit, this was a lot more fun, compared to dancing alone on the chair.

" Come on, forget about it. Dance!" he hurried behind her, pushing her forward to the dance floor.

"OK, OK, You're on!" she declared.

"Show me what you got" he encouraged.

She found herself confident. The pulse of the music was her world.

She popped her shoulder to the tempo, swaying her hands above her head interlacing patterns up in the air. Her hands traced down gracefully to her hips. The dressed wrapped tightly on her curves making it easy to see how her hips moved to the sound.

He was too focused on her, reading her face, reacting to the rhythm. She looked lost in another world, so relax and free.

A strong tug pulled her out of that trance. She opened her eyes capturing spins of lights flashing everywhere around the room. He was twirling her around like a leaf. "You got skills huh, I'm all fired up" He placed his hand behind Lucy's waist, closing the distance. She could finally see his face clearer. His eyes were sharp and fiery. She didn't pay attention before when he was attending them at the table but he was handsome. He had the softness of a boy features yet strong jaw line and cheeks as a man.

"Let me show you how it's done" The music came to a halt and he let go of Lucy. He stepped back, once again his face became expressionless. Lucy scrunched up her eyebrows together unsure what he was about to do. Yet, the corner of her lips curled out waiting to see what her new pink hair friend would do next.

As on cue, the beat dropped and a heavy bass picked up. His head became to shake unnaturally leaving her with her eyes wide open. Then as a chain reaction his whole body started to jerk rapidly with the rise and fall of the music.

Awed, the blonde clapped at his performance.

"Thank you, thank you I will be here all week" he bowed.

Lucy's eyes kin in at the boy giving him a smug smile.

"I bet that's your only move" she teased.

The boy grinned "YEP! But I own it good! … How did you know?"

"Every guy has a signature move that impresses the girls, you know"

He titled his head, scratching his eyebrow uninterested.

" I don't know anything about impressing a girl but I'm glad to see you're having fun"

This thought bugged her, why was he so concerned? Why did he come all the way here to dance with her? Was it because she was a customer? It had to be, it made no sense. Shock by her own vibration of her voice, a "why" escape her lips.

"Eh? Hmmm" he placed two fingers on his chin in deep thought.

"Well" His eyes soften to her bewilder gaze.

" I saw you having fun with your friends. After you were sitting there alone, somehow that didn't sit well on me. Isn't it more fun when you are with someone to enjoy it with" he smiled

More fun? She thought, a rush of excitement took over Lucy's body.

"Let's dance then." She grabbed his arm and pulled him in.

All tired out from their dancing Lucy marched to the table. She went over her purse to check the time on her phone. To her surprise 2 hours passed.

"No way, we dance for 2 hours straight" she was astonished, as a pound of bricks hit her head she turned right away to her friend, troubled.

"2 hours passed! Won't you be in a problem at work!?"

He sat right in front of her, relaxing in his seat. "nah" he said it with ease.

"I'm done for today"

She took a deep breath relief, he wasn't going to get in trouble because of her. Lucy's brown eye scanned the area for any signs of her friends, since 2 hours had passed. Yet the ocean of mingling bodies and the mist of the dark club didn't help her spot them.

"By the way my name is Natsu." His voice traced her back to focus on his black eyes.

"My name is Lucy" she beamed.

"Huh? What was that again?'' He leaned forward on the table. The bass of the club was drowning out her voice.

"It's Lucy" She said louder.

Cupping his hands behinds his ear, he responded. " Did you say Luigi? Ha! Ha! That's weird" He sank back down to his seat chuckling.

Annoyed, Lucy sucked in her lips and yelled louder.

"IT'S LU-CY" sounding out her name.

"OH! Loonyyy!" His face beamed up, amused with the reaction he was receiving from the girl.

She ended catching up to his tricks and kicking him under the table.

"ow, ow, ok, ok… Lucy." He rubbed his knee " but seriously Loony does fit you perfectly."

The two end up talking so much as the time passed by. She learned that he was a psycho for anything spicy, from the drinks to the food. If it wasn't hot, he didn't bothered. She questioned him how did any of his taste buds survived? His response was a shrug. Then she couldn't help but wonder about his hair. Also surprising, it was natural. She didn't understand how, nor, she believed him.

"I'll show you!"

"How?" she squinted her eyes in disbelief

"I'll show pictures of me when I was a baby"

"Pfft, no way, you can so alternate it"

"Believe what you want" he grinned.

Natsu also got to know Lucy more. He learned she just moved to Magnolia a year ago. The girl had a great passion to the group of friends, like a family, mostly the girl named Levy. That really engraved a great amount of respect towards her in his sight. He knew exactly what it meant for friends to be like family. But the most fun of all was the discovery of her hobby, writing stories.

"Come on Lucyyy" he whined while pressing his hands on his lap jittering. He was thinking of what kind of story adventures she wrote.

"No way! There's only been one person who has read it and that's Levy. I think I would explode of embarrassment if someone else read it." She folded her arms across her chest.

Natsu jolted right out of his sit. Lucy leered at the boy wondering what he was up to now." Let's make a trade! I read 1 chapter per day and for that chapter you get 1 command, No limitation."

Her eyes drooped softly half way, darting at Natsu's direction. A hint of darkness loomed in those eyes. " You sure you can trust me with such power?" she asked in low sultry voice. For just a split second, Natsu eyes widen, as her boggling eyes seemed to rip through his soul. The hair on his back stood up. Somehow I feel evilness from her. He thought.

Sitting back down he spoke up "hmm, well, you are weird… but you're nice. I can trust you" he answered.

"Fine! It's a deal" she cheered.
