Fate has other plans...
After the wedding, the first week was completely uneventful. They almost didn't see each other. The only words what left their mouth was some kind of greeting when they managed to bump into each other in the house. But that was really rare because Luffy always woke up very early in the morning and went to work and he got home late when he supposed that Nami was already asleep. For Luffy it was almost as if nothing would have happened. He visited different bars and dated different girls in almost every night. Besides he managed to make up with Hancock since she was really angry with him about the marriage. But these things didn't stop Luffy from finding that cartographer. Even everything was almost the same, he wanted his absolute freedom back.
On Nami's side this was totally different. Even if it wasn't the type of marriage what every usual girl was dreaming about. She knew from the first moment that Luffy wouldn't pay very much attention to her and she was ok with it. She was completely aware of the fact that Luffy probably hated her and he would do anything to end this marriage. But she knew that it wouldn't happen anytime soon, so she didn't worried about it for the time being. Or that was what she believed…
Little did Nami and Luffy know that the fate had totally other plans with them…
It was 8 in the morning when Nami woke up. She got out of her bed and went to the window to observe the weather. This was an old custom she did every morning. She smiled when she saw that the weather was nice and she decided that she would take a walk later. She went to her bathroom to wash her face before she headed to the kitchen to drink a cup of coffee and have something to eat for breakfast. Since she thought that Luffy had been already gone to work she didn't change her clothes so she stayed in her tank top and mini shorts and walked down to the kitchen. But before she entered the kitchen, she heard some mumbling from the sofa which was in the middle of the living room. She froze for a few moments before she slowly went to the sofa to find Luffy sleeping on it.
It was obvious that he got home really late and he must have been drunk a bit and collapsed when she reached the sofa. He wore his work suit although it was totally messed up, just as his hair.
Suddenly Nami didn't know what she should do with him. Should she wake him up or just let him sleep? But it was 8.30 and Luffy should have been already in his office. She decided to wake him up, so she gently poked his shoulder.
"Oi! Wake up! Luffy!" said Nami not very loud. But nothing happened. "Luffy! Wake up! It's already 8.30!" tried Nami again a bit louder this time and she poked his shoulder a bit stronger.
That was the moment when Luffy stirred a bit and mumbled something incoherent and suddenly reached out his arms only to circle them around Nami's waist and pull her to him. Nami was startled and lost her balance and fell on top of Luffy.
"Gimme five minutes!" said Luffy and tightened his grip.
Nami was in a deep shock. She didn't know what to do. She was just lying on top of Luffy and his grip was so strong that she couldn't move. But the strangest thing was that she didn't feel like getting up. Somehow it wasn't so bad… She could feel his well-toned torso beneath her and this together with his strong arms was strangely comforting to her. But she knew that if she didn't do something immediately that would be very awkward later. She made an attempt to get out from Luffy's grip. She concentrated so much that she didn't realise that Luffy's eyes were open and watching her. Then she looked at Luffy's face and that was the moment when she saw that Luffy was wide awake and starring at her. For a few long seconds neither of them moved or said anything. They just stared into each other's eyes.
They couldn't take their eyes from the other until the entrance door opened and Zoro stepped into the house. His chin almost fell to the floor when he saw Luffy and Nami on the sofa.
"Wow! Did I interrupt something?" asked Zoro smirking after he woke up from the shock.
Nami jumped off of Luffy with slightly blushed faces. Then before someone could have said anything she quickly made her way to the kitchen.
Luffy stayed lying on the sofa and his face was totally shocked. He didn't understand what have just happened.
"Oi Luffy, you could have at least called me that you are busy. I could have also had some fun with Robin in the morning. It's not fair." said Zoro still smirking.
"What? I.. didn't…" said Luffy slowly waking up from the shock.
"You don't have to explain it! I totally understand you."
"Oi, Zoro! It's not what it looks like!" said Luffy.
"Oh, really? Then what?" asked Zoro.
"Um… well… I don't know… When I woke up she was on top of me, ok? I don't know how, but I don't care. Anyway, what the hell are you doing here?" asked Luffy trying to change the subject.
"I came to check up on you. You weren't in the office. And since you drank so much the other night I thought it would be better see if you managed to make it at least to your house. But I can see everything is alright." said Zoro.
"Ah, I see. Sorry. Then I'm going to take a quick shower and we can go to the office." said Luffy and went up to his room.
As soon as Luffy was upstairs Zoro made his way to the kitchen where he supposed Nami to be. She was standing by the counter back to the door when Zoro stepped into the kitchen.
He coughed a bit to gain her attention. She shuddered a bit then turned around to face him.
"Well, I can see that you two start getting along well." said Zoro breaking the silence between them.
"Oh, no! You misunderstood the previous situation." said Nami quickly.
"Did I?"
"Yeah! I just went to wake him up, and suddenly he grabbed me and I lost my balance and fell on top of him. It was just an accident." said Nami a bit nervously.
"Oh! I see. Well, I thought that you two are…"
"No! Of course not!" said Nami interrupting Zoro. "Anyway, would you like a cup of coffee or something?" asked Nami changing the awkward subject.
"No thanks. I'm fine." said Zoro. By the way, you've been married now for a week, right?" asked Zoro.
"Um, yeah." answered Nami.
"How was the first week?" asked Zoro.
"Well, nothing special. I know that in a normal case I should say that it was amazing and all. But this is obviously not a normal case." said Nami laughing a bit uneasily.
"Yeah, that true. But be a bit patient with Luffy. He will be more friendly later on. I'm sure about it." said Zoro smiling.
"Well, he is not that bad. I mean, for me it's ok. I know that he didn't want this whole thing and he probably hates me for this." said Nami.
"I wont't say that he hates you. Luffy is not like that. You'd better know this." said Zoro seriously.
Nami looked at him a bit confused. Somehow it was a bit good to hear that Luffy didn't hate her. But she couldn't believe it.
"Anyway, I will do everything not to disturb him too much." said Nami.
Zoro looked at her questioningly but before he could have said anything Luffy stepped into the kitchen.
"Oi, I'm ready. We can go!" said Luffy.
"You were fast. Ok, let's go!" said Zoro. "See you later, Nami."
"See you!" said Nami.
"See you!" said Luffy quietly and left the kitchen so fast that Nami didn't have the chance to answer.
When the house was empty again and she made sure that Luffy was gone she ran up to her room and jumped into her bed burying her face in the pillows.
What the hell was this?
Luffy was sitting in his office staring out the big windows. The view was amazing, but he was so deep in his thoughts that he didn't pay much attention to that or to Zoro who has just stepped into his office. He had to call him three times when Luffy finally managed to snap out of his thoughts.
"Oi, are you here?" asked Zoro.
"Yeah. What?" asked Luffy a bit sulky.
"Your secretary said that you cancelled everything for today. Is everything alright?" asked Zoro.
"Yeah. I'm just tired and my head is killing me." said Luffy.
"Well, you shouldn't drink so much." said Zoro.
"I know, I know."
"Look. If you're this tired you should go back home to sleep. Maybe Nami join you again!" said Zoro chuckling. But when he saw Luffy's angry eyes he regretted his previous sentence immediately.
"Calm down! I was just kidding. You don't need to kill me." said Zoro.
"Seriously, couldn't you just get over it already?" said Luffy irritated.
"Ok, I won't bring this up again." said Zoro.
"Good." said Luffy. "Ok, I guess I call Hancock and spend the day with her."
Zoro just sweatdropped at this.
"Seriously what do you see in that bitch?" asked Zoro
"She is good, really good if you know what I mean." said Luffy smirking.
"I guess I know." said Zoro.
Luffy grabbed his phone and was about to push the calling button when Zoro started speaking again.
"By the way, I talked to Nami in the morning." said Zoro.
Luffy put back his phone on the table.
"Yeah. I know." said Luffy.
"She thinks that you hated her and that's why she does everything not to disturb your life." said Zoro seriously.
"I know."
"I think you should talk to her about this and about the morning." said Zoro and left the office quickly before Luffy could have answered.
Luffy just stared at the door. Somewhere deep inside of him he knew that Zoro was right. When he heard Nami saying that he hated her he almost barged into the kitchen to tell her that it's not true. But he didn't like her either and definitely didn't love her. Honestly he didn't know what he felt about her. And that scared him a bit. That's why he considered better to avoid her as much as he could which he managed to do until this morning.
Dammit! What should I do with this! This is too crazy!
Luffy put his head on the table for a few minutes before he slowly managed to calm himself down enough to grab his phone again and call his so-called girlfriend.
It was almost evening when Nami got home from the town. She went out for a walk to calm herself down a bit. Now she was ok again and started to forgot about that morning incident. She was about to grab something to eat from the fridge when her phone start ringing. She froze immediately when she heard the sound of her phone. She slowly went to find her bag and took out her phone. She didn't need to check the caller's ID to know who was calling her. She took a big breath and picked it up.
"What?"
…
"I thought that we agreed. After I got married you won't disturb me."
…
"What are you talking about? Don't go changing your mind just like that!" Nami's voice started quivering.
…
"Understood." said Nami and tears started falling from her eyes.
…
"Right. I'll be there."
With that Nami hung up her phone and collapsed on the couch behind her. She couldn't stop her tears from falling. Then she went to her room to change her clothes from casual to elegant and left the house.
To be continued…
