Chapter 4:

Eri's move and Lucy's feelings

Lucy's POV:

*TIME SKIP 6:56pm*

"Why so nervous Natsu," I asked as we walked up to Eri's house.

"Because I am breaking up with a fake girlfriend in front of my real one," Natsu replied, "I'm not just nervous, I'm stressed."

"Well, if you want I can go home, I still have my business homework to do," I responded and we walked down the drive way.

"No, I need you," Natsu replied quickly.

"Alright," I said. I don't like it when Levy is right.

Flash back to second hour:

"Hey girls," I said as I sat down next to Levy, Lisanna, and Juvia.

"Lucy, you look upset whats wrong," Lisanna asked.

"Eri," I replied.

"What did she do," Juvia asked.

"It's not all her fault. She told her father that Natsu was her boyfriend so he wouldn't force into an arrange marriage," I answered.

"WHAT," Levy, Lisanna, and Juvia yelled.

"Calm down. Natsu said yes to being her fake boyfriend and fake breaking-up with her tonight," I told them.

"Natsu will probably be nervous and stressed out about it," Levy replied.

"What do mean," I asked.

"I mean but yourself in Natsu's shoes. Let say a guy asked to do same thing that Eri asked Natsu to do but in front of your friends and Natsu. How would you feel," Levy replied.

"I probably would have anxiety attack," I replied.

"Well that probably how Natsu feels right now," Levy said and the other girls nodded in agreement while I sighed.

End of flash back

We walked on to the porch and knocked then I said, "Relax Natsu." Then I watched as his body went from tense to laid back as the door open.

"Hi," Eri said and she had a bright beaming smile on face as she saw Natsu and me. Then Eri grabbed Natsu's arm and pulled him in and I followed inside.

After I stepped in a guy who looked like Eri but a few years older came up and said, "Hi, I'm Roy Yakumo. Eri's older brother, and you are?"

"Lucy Heartfilia," I replied and took my hand kissed it.

"Oh, I see you met my brother Roy," Eri said as she came to me with Natsu in hand and much older man behind, "Lucy, I like you to meet my father Tori Yamkumo."

"Very nice to meet you sir," I replied and we shook hands.

"Glad my Eri has wonderful, we move around a lot so its hard for Eri to make friends," Tori told me.

"Ya, Eri said something about that when we met," I replied.

"You must be Natsu Dragneel, my daughter has told me a lot about you," Tori said and I raised my eyebrow. So she talks a lot about Natsu, huh.

"Yes, I'm Natsu," Natsu said as he shook hands with Tori.

"Hey, Eri can I talk to you in private please," I asked.

"Ya," Eri replied then we stepped aside.

"What did your father say that you talk about Natsu," I asked.

Eri sighed then blushed as she replied, "I talk about him a lot because I sort of have a crush on him."

"Is that why you picked him to be your fake boyfriend," I asked.

Eri blushed more as she replied, "Yes… I thought if he fake broke up with me it would be easy to get over him." I should have known.

"I'm going to be honest," I told Eri and she nodded, "I feel bad for you about the whole arrange marriage thing but this fake boyfriend business with Natsu is making me feel uncomfortable."

"I understand. I did have a boyfriend back in America," Eri confessed.

"What happen," I asked.

"My father didn't approve of him and he said that if I kept dating him, he would disown me," Eri said and she started to cry, "I was ready to give the riches but something happened with my boyfriend and he broke up with me."

"Do think your father might have done something," I asked and she nodded.

"Yea but I'm not sure what," Eri said crying.

"Before we return. Can I ask what your boyfriend's name was," I asked.

"Austin Millon," Eri replied. I've heard that name before but where.

"Okay lets," I said and we went back to others.

Natsu's POV:

*TIME SKIP after diner 8:36pm*

"Hey Eri there something," I said to Eri but then I felt lips press against my. Lucy? I looked down and saw Eri. I looked around the room and Lucy frozen on her spot with tears rolling out of her eyes. Fuck… Eri, you went to far…

We broke apart and Eri looked me and I looked at Lucy. Lucy stared for a moment but then she ran out. Lucy! "Natsu," I heard Eri say.

"Eri, I can't do this anymore. It's over, I'm sorrr," I told her and I ran after Lucy. Please don't let her be mad at or upset with me. Eri kissed me and I didn't kiss her back but then again I didn't push Eri away. I am so fucking screwed. Lucy…

*TIME SKIP 16 minutes later*

I ran to Lucy's apartment and knocked on the door then Virgo answered the door and said, "Mistress Lucy does not want to talk to you or anyone else right now. Please leave."

"Virgo, please, I need to talk her," I said and Virgo shook her head.

"Mistress Lucy has order me not let anyone in," Virgo replied, "So please leave."

"Alright," I responded then walked away as Virgo closed and locked the door.I really screwed up big time. I walked out of the building and stopped and stared at Lucy's bedroom window, the light was on, then I walked home. I would go throw her window but she to upset. It probably make things worst. I'm so sorry.

Lucy's POV:

Natsu, how could not push her away but he didn't at least he didn't kiss her back but I still hurt. I looked out my window and saw Natsu walking away. I finished putting my pjs on then went to bed as I turned off my bed side lamp. I laid my head down on my pillow and cried myself to sleep.
