Third installment of my Taylor Swift's songs series!


The moment Lucy stepped into Sabertooth Magazine building that Thursday morning, she'd knew it was going to be a pretty rough day.

But she did her best to put up a poker face as she entered the crowded elevator. Sighing and fixing her bun, Lucy waited as the doors closed and the depressing music echoed in the small thing.

She shyly eyed the faces of her co workers, all of them employees of the publishing editorial.

Their vacant stares made her feel a weird mix of pity and amusement at the same time. Pity because it meant their lives weren't exciting as hers, obviously not full of adventures. And amusement, because she knew that if he was there, they'd laugh at them.

Sometimes she really wanted to take the stairs, but she didn't want to be a sweaty mess when she reached the tenth floor.

When the doors finally opened again, Lucy left, walking as fast as possible with her high heels and skirt.

She just wanted to go to her small office and work into her new reports.

Because maybe Sabertooth wasn't the nicest place to work, but the pay was good and she needed it.

Side consequences of moving together with your fiancé at young age.

Both of them had to get to work as soon as possible, and even if he wanted her to rest and finish her studies, she knew that his own salary wasn't enough.

But she didn't care.

Because her heart was his, and his was hers.

She was so close to her office. She believed she was going to finally make it without the usual routine.

"Look, it's the newbie," one of the usual cruel voices said.

The same giggles of every morning followed her.

Lucy kept walking.

"Ah, look! She's hurrying up to go sleep with the boss. Poor the boy that's with her." she said. "But then again, he must be stupid to go out with someone like her."

Lucy stopped dead in her tracks.

They could mock her all they wanted, but if they said something about Natsu, she'd give them hell.

She didn't understand why people would judge them as if they knew about him and her.

It seemed they had nothing else to do.

"Is your love life so inexistent that you have to talk about mine?" Lucy arched her eyebrow gracefully at the group of women, all of them in their mid forty and apparently single.

They gasped at her, expressions of unbelief taking over their faces.

Lucy turned around and left, knowing very well that they'd be lurking in the shadows with their lip gloss smiles.

People seemed determined to never understand that no matter what they'd say, her choice would always be him.

He was the one to be there for her, the one who actually cared enough to know her like the palm of his hand.

She closed the door of her office and sighed again, throwing her bag over a chair. She walked behind her desk and sat down -she knew she'd have to get back to work soon. But first, she needed to cheer up to do a good job.

And that only left her an option.

She took her phone out and texted him what just happened.

His reply was almost instant, making her doubt if he was working or just fighting with his friends again at work.

"Hey Luce, that sucks. But don't you worry your pretty little mind. People throw rocks at things that shine and life makes love look hard, but this love is ours."

Lucy blinked at the screen. Such pretty words were kinda uncharacteristic of him. He was more of an action man, but she greatly appreciated it now.

Or maybe he just asked for advice to some random person. Who knows.

And then it hit her.

Giggling, she texted back, "Are you really listening to Taylor Swift again?"

She could picture him blushing as she read his next words, "What? I'd never!"

"Yeah, right," she said, and put her phone back into her pocket. As much as she loved talking to him, she needed to go back at work.

Because right now her time was theirs.

She wrote and wrote for hours, checking her mail and answering important calls. For lunch she got meat and salad, and she drank around four cups of coffee during the whole day. She dealt with more mocks and salty comments from the group of woman that wanted to make her break down, but she didn't give them what they wanted.

And finally the time to leave arrived.

Lucy quickly shoved her stuff inside the bag and hang it over her left shoulder. Walking towards the door, she closed it behind her. Glancing in front of her, she sighed at the sight of the women still there.

What did they do at work, anyways?

"Hey, Heartfilia," their leader said. The same that mocked her earlier in the morning. ""Isn't it bad that you have to take the bus back home? Why isn't your boyfriend here?"

They giggled at the same time the elevator's doors opened.

"Luce!" Natsu's voice echoed in the boring building, his biggest grin adorning his face.

His perfect timing was another thing Lucy loved about the boy.

His pink hair was as wild as always, the messy bun on it giving him a very not professional appearance. His scarf was wrapped around his neck even in the hot of the summer, and under the sleeve of his shirt she could peek at his dragon tattoo.

"Natsu," Lucy said, perplexed, but unable to hide her excitement

She heard the gasps of the women at her side.

He walked closer to her, his smile never wavering, "I got to leave earlier so I decided to come pick you up,"

When he stood in front of her, he took her small hand in his rough one. Having him so close let Lucy see the gap between his teeth that she loved so much.

"Alright, thanks," Lucy smiled. "I didn't want to take that bus again,"

His happy eyes scanned the place over her head, "This place looks so boring,"

Lucy chuckled. "It does,"

Her choice would always be him.

Natsu's eyes finally landed on the women at their side, all of them sitting behind the counter. His tilted his head to the side, like a curious kid.

"Why are they looking at us, Lucy?" he asked. "They're weird. But not as weird as you."

Lucy jokingly punched him in the face before eyeing the women. Then her lips broke into a superior, satisfied smirk.

"Don't you worry your pretty little mind," she said. "They're the ones throwing rocks at things that shine and make love look hard,"

Natsu seemed to understand instantly. "But this love is ours," he repeated.

Lucy smiled sweetly at him, intertwining their fingers together. "Let's go home now."

They walked together towards the elevator, Natsu excitedly telling her about his day as a firefighter. He saved tons of little kitties. One of them was blue, and later Lucy'd find out that he not only rescued him momentarily.

"You should stop listening to Taylor Swift, anyways," Lucy commented, biting her lip not to laugh at him.

His face turned a tomato in a second. "I wasn't! It's just that Mira likes it a lot and she sent me a lot of songs because she wanted me to be more romantic with you…"

Lucy laughed. "I have to thank her later, then,"

Natsu blinked. "What for?"

Instead of explaining, Lucy leaned her head against his chest and smiled at the horizon. "This love is ours, uh?"

"It's always more fun when we're together, after all, right?"

"You're right"
