Finally finished another chapter! Sorry for the long update :D
Chapter 3 – Date
Normal POV
It's been a week since Lucy had returned. Natsu is still in the infirmary. No one knows when he'll wake up, but everyone believes that it will be soon.
Lucy, along with Levy, Erza and Mira are at the Magnolia mall shopping. They are at the clothes shop looking for proper clothing to go on their mission. The mission is to infiltrate a dark guild. Not the regular dark guild, but the perverted ones.
"How about this one?" Mira asked Lucy.
"…." the blonde mage's eyes were wide opened.
"How can Lu-chan wear that?!" Levy shouted.
"Mira you actually find that wearable?" Erza asked curiously with her eyes as wide as Lucy's.
Mira sobbed and put the red thong back where she got it from. The girls continue to search around the store to look for the perfect outfit.
"Ouuuuuu"
A blue starry bikini caught the blonde's attention. Lucy walked towards the bikini that is at the other side of the store. But something caught her foot and she tripped.
"AHHHHHHHHH!" Lucy screamed and closed her eyes.
A pair of arms caught her before she could land. The blonde opened her eyes to see a brown hair man holding her. He was wearing white plain t-shirt with blue jeans. His eyes are dark blue and he looks well built.
"Are you okay?" the man asked.
"Yes I'm fine. Thank you." Lucy replied.
The man let go of her and had a grin on his face.
"You're welcome!" He smiled.
"Hey are you okay Lucy?" Erza said as she came to me with the others.
"Yes, it was thanks to him." The blonde smiled.
"You there, what is your name?" Erza asked if she was like a commander of the army.
"I'm Evan. What's yours?" the man named Evan asked back.
"I'm Erza, this here is Levy and that girl that is always smiling is Mira. Oh and she is Lucy." Erza introduced everyone to Evan.
"Nice to meet you girls!" Evan just continued grinning. "Oh I see you girls are from Fairy Tail." He said as he notices the mark on Lucy's hand.
They continue to talk, talking about their magic, their guild and their friends. Evan seems like he has an interest towards Lucy. He likes to stare at Lucy while he talks and smiles when she laughs.
"Hey how about we get something to eat later?" the brown hair man asked.
"Sure, why not?" Erza replied.
"Alright meet at the restaurant beside this store at eight." the man said.
"Alright." Lucy replied.
"Okay bye." Evan left the store to go somewhere else and the girls continued their shopping.
Lucy's POV
Evan is pretty good looking. He is also a mage and is in his own guild. He asked us to go eat with him tonight. Does this count as a date? I blush at the fact that this was a date, but why so many girls?
"Hey Lu-chan, you like Evan don't you?" Levy smirked.
"WHAT?!" I yelled.
"It's okay Lucy. We'll set a nice date for you and Evan." Mira winked.
"BUTTTTTTTTT" I yelled again.
"No buts. It's settled." Erza said coldly.
"Don't worry Lu-chan we won't get in your way." Levy smiled.
"Now let's you find you a nice dress!" Mira winked again.
Erza trapped me into her arms and won't let me go.
"Mira, Levy, go find her a nice dress!" Erza yelled.
"Aye!" They said in unison.
Wow Happy number three and four…
Oh well, I guess a date wouldn't be too bad. I mean I can give Evan a try. Let's just see how things go.
Mira and Levy came back with a nice black dress. There were sparkles on it and has frills.
"Thanks Mira, Levy." Erza finally let me go. I swear I was going to suffocate.
We went back to the guild and I went to visit Natsu.
"Hey Natsu, today is a nice day. Why don't you wake up and take me out for a walk?" I said with a smile.
No reply
"It's okay, take your time Natsu. But today I'm going to go on a date with a guy named Evan. Hope you don't get too jealous… just kidding!" I smirked.
Still no reply
"Come on Natsu, I'm going out with a guy. Aren't you going to get mad about it like always?" I asked the sleeping salamander.
"Oh look at the time, time for me to go change. Well I'll see you tomorrow." I nudge his pink head and left the infirmary to go home.
It was now seven-thirty, thirty more minutes until I meet up with Evan. I put the final touches on and head out the door. It was dark out with a clear sky, perfect weather for a date.
I reach the restaurant that Evan told us to go. Well only me now since everyone wanted me to go on a date with him. I went in the restaurant to see Evan in a white tuxedo with a black bowtie. Oh my gosh he looks so handsome!
"Hey Evan." I waved at him with a smile.
"Hey Lucy, where are the others?" Evan waved back.
"Oh, ummm, they're busy so they couldn't make it." I lied.
"Oh, that's too bad. Here come take a seat." Evan said pulling the chair for me.
"Thanks."
Wow he's a gentleman. Why can't Natsu be like this? Stop thinking about Natsu brain! I'm on a date right now! Just forget him!
"You look lovely." Evan said with a grin.
"Thanks!" I try to hide my face as it deepens in the color red.
We asked the waitress to order our food. I got lasagna with a salad and Evan got a beef burger with fries. A few minutes later we got our food and it smells delicious.
"How's the food?" Evan asked me while I was hungrily chewing it down.
"Delicious!" I mumbled as my mouth was filled with lasagna.
Evan is a pretty fun guy, always making me laugh. Maybe this isn't so bad. I actually enjoy talking to him. I usually don't like talking with people that I just met recently but he was different. Maybe he is the one.
"Oh by the way, I heard about what happened to uhhh, what was his name again? He has pink hair and always wears a scarf. Nando? " Evan said.
"Natsu." I corrected.
"Right, is he okay?" the man asked concerned.
"Well he still hasn't woken but we think it will be soon." I smiled while eating my salad.
After we had finished eating, Evan paid the bill and we left. The sky was still dark and clear. We walked around the lake to help digest the food we just consumed. Suddenly he stopped in front of me and stared right into my eyes with his blue ones.
"Lucy, what do you think about me?" Evan asked nervously. I can tell he was sweating. His forehead is a little wet and a drip of sweat falling down to the side of his face.
"Well you're a nice guy. You're also funny and fun to talk to." I smiled.
"Good, well I hope this isn't going too far or too fast, but will… ummm… will you go out with me…?" Evan asked nervously. It looks like he will pass out at any moment. I just stare at him without saying a word.
"Hello?" Evan said as he waved his hand in front of me to get my attention.
"Oh sorry, umm could you give me some time to think about it and I'll reply to you tomorrow?" I replied nervously.
"Sure, that sounds cool. Meet at the café at eleven tomorrow?" Evan grinned.
"Okay." I smiled.
I went home and quickly went to take a bath. My bathtub is the best place for me to think about life. It's where I think about everything.
So should I go out with him? I mean this will be the first time that I'll have a real boyfriend. He is good in terms of looks and personality. Maybe he is the one, the one that I have waited so long for. But to be honest, I also have someone else in my heart. Someone special to me. Someone that will always protect me and always make me laugh even though it pisses me off most of the time. He is my friend, and I always thought that he was the one. What do I do?
Morning arrived quickly. The sun was up and bright and the shining rays woke me up. It was ten, one more hour until I meet up with Evan. I went into the washroom to get changed. I put on my green tank top with blue short jeans and tied my hair with the usual blue ribbon.
After I was done changing, it was time to go out. I walked to the café slowly because I want to stall. I don't know how to tell him.
After fifteen minutes of walking, I arrive at the café to see Evan already there.
"Hey Lucy." Evan grinned at me while waving his hand.
"Hey." I smiled
I sat down and ordered mocha and he ordered a coffee.
It was awkwardly quiet. None of us said anything to each other for the past five minutes. We just drank our drinks and tried to maintain eye contact.
"So umm, do you have an answer?" Evan blushed and breaking the silent.
"Well you see…. I don't know how to tell you this but… I already have someone else in my heart." I said looking away.
"Oh… " Evan stared at me.
"I'm sorry…" I stare back at him.
"It's okay, I understand. But can I ask you one question?" Evan asked.
"Sure."
"Is that someone dear to you?" Evan asked.
I blush. "Yes and I like him a lot." I replied.
"Then I'm happy for you. Hope that we can still be friends." Evan grinned.
"Of course!" I smiled.
After that I went back to the guild and told everything to Mira and the others.
"Why did you turn him down?" Mira asked with a frown. "He looked like such a nice guy."
"Well he is. But I have my reasons." I replied.
"Lu-chan, do you like someone?" Levy smirked.
"No…" I blush and felt my cheek burn. I quickly walk away so they wouldn't ask me any other questions.
I can hear Erza say "Yup she does" to the other girls.
I walk to the infirmary to give Natsu a visit.
"Hey Natsu. Today is a wonderful day. The guy I went on a date with asked me out. You don't have to burn him because I turned him down. I have someone else in my heart. Maybe when you wake up I'll tell you. But I think you know who it is." I smiled sitting next to the sleeping salamander.
