Chap 4

Disclaimer: I do not own Fairy Tail

Previously:

I never did find out what the project was, but today was the day I said yes, so maybe I'll find out today!

I was still sitting at the bar waiting for Natsu to show up, trying to read a book. I read over the same paragraph ten times, but I couldn't focus. My mind was still switching between the past and the future and there was no time for the present. I am about to start a life with Natsu! A family, a house, a wedding! I should be more nervous. I am don't get me wrong, but as I remember all the different times he asked me and all he has done I know I'm making the right choice.

Flashback

I had always enjoyed going on dates and meeting new guys. It was a fun thing to do. During the first five months of Natsu asking me to marry him, I continued to go on dates. Although my relationships never really lasted long. The downfall of having breast like mine, beside the back aches, was that you attracted all the wrong guys.

Even with the guys who were genuinely sweet and nice, I had this annoying little habit of comparing them to Natsu. They weren't strong enough, they didn't smile enough, they weren't laughing, they didn't have a childish and fun yet at time serious and loyal personality!

Ya that was my excuse for one of them, how obvious is that?

The last guy I dated had been a real jerk. We had dated for a week and I saw him giving other woman stares when we were on a date. I immediately knew that this guy had to go. On the third date he had brought me dinner and had walked me home, even though I had insisted that he didn't need to.

I was about to tell him that it wasn't working out and that he shouldn't call on me again when he stated kissing me on my doorstep. I was a startled and ended the kiss quickly, but he kept moving in.

"So...you going to invite me up?" He suggested giving me a cocky grin. I knew what he wanted and was not even close to considering that option.

I said no, but he did not like that answer. He said that I owed him after spending money on me and the like. I called him some rather unpleasant names in response. He called me even worse names. I was about to retort with a 'get the hell out of here and never darken my door way again' when Natsu opened the front door.

If looks could kill it would have been the one on Natsu face, it screamed murder. The man went instantly pale when Natsu gaze fell on him.

"You should get the fuck out of here right now! And if I ever hear of you bugging Lucy, talking about Lucy or even thinking about Lucy! I will be coming after you personally!" Natsu face glowed in the light of his ignited fist.

The guy ran for it, looking like he had seen the devil, which for all intents and purposes, he had.

I stormed upstairs pissed right off. I think Natsu thought I was mad at him because he was kinda cowering in the corner. I burst out into a full blown rant, screamed into a few pillows and knocked somethings over.

When I finished, I was embarrassed to see that I was crying. It wasn't that I was sad about the guy. No, I was sad because some of the things he had said had hit home. He had mentioned something about me being weak and probably the lamest excuse for a mage in Fairy Tail, among some other rather colorful descriptive words.

Thats when Natsu came and wrapped a blanket around me and sat down on the couch pulling me onto his lap. He wiped away my tears and gave me a small smile.

"Lucy, there is no one who could be compared to you. So strong and always smiling, every thing that that asswipe said was a lie and you deserve so much better than him."

Poof, all my sadness, my anger, my hurt, out the window. He always made me happy when I was sad, and was always there to make sure I stayed strong. Wether it was a mission or just the little things, Natsu was always there.

I even remember that he had always been here after every date I had ever had, even before he was asking me to marry him. Its like he knew what the outcome would be for all my relationships and was there at night just ready to make me feel better.

"You know Luce, I would never leave you" he gave me such an innocent, heartfelt look."I would always be there to make you happy. Will you marry me Lucy?"

Every thing he said was the absolute truth, I knew he would always be there for me and make me happy.

That night was the first night I thought it would be a good idea to say yes, but instead.

"Thanks for being here Natsu." I gave him a little kiss on the cheek and hugged him. I noticed he turned a bit red.

I never dated another guy after that. From that time till present there has only been one guy I looked at.
