CHAPTER SEVEN'

Everyone looked shocked at what just happened. "Gajeel what the hell is wrong with you!" Natsu screamed at him furious. "I'm going to kill you! But right now I have something more important to take care of." he said and ran after Lucy.

Mira looked angry at Gajeel. "Gajeel Redfox." She said and looked ready to kill him. "Who do you think you are!? Coming to my restaurant and throwing out my customers? Do you have a death wish!?"

"She is a reporter! She write for some crappy magazine and she was going to write about Fairy Tail! I can't accept that!" Gajeel said.

"So you are saying that 'Fairy Magazine' is a crappy magazine?" Mira said angry.

"What? No! Evergreen's magazine is not crappy!" Gajeel said and crossed his arms over his chest.

"Well, Lucy is working for Evergreen and she wasn't here to write about Fairy Tail! She was here with Natsu as his date!" Mira shouted at him furious.

Gajeel just stared at her. That woman was the one Natsu had talked so much about?
Oh, what has he done...

"Lucy!" Natsu shouted. He needs to find her and he needs to find her now! He relaxed when he found her standing next to a tree near his car. He ran over to where she were. "Lucy. I'm so sorry!" Natsu said when he was standing next to her. She was crying. It killed Natsu to see her like that. He took her into his arms and hugged her. "I'm so sorry." Whispered Natsu in her ear. She continued to cry. "Please Lucy, look at me." He said. She shook her head as best she could considering that her face was buried in his chest. He released her from his arms but held her shoulders so that he could look at her. She hid behind her hands. "Lucy, please look at me." Natsu begged her.

She removed her hands from her face. Her eyes were bloodshot and her nose was running. Natsu wiped away her tears and looked sadly at her. "I'm really sorry about that, Lucy. Believe me, I'm going to kill him! I know that he doesn't like writers, but this is damn ridiculous! He behaves like a fucking kid! Please come, let's go inside again. Please don't care about him! Everyone else loves you - already." He took Lucy's hand and began to lead her to the door. They walked inside and everyone ran to the door.

"Lucy!" everyone said. Cana hugged her.

"Girls, take care of her for a second." Natsu said and walked over to Gajeel.

"Natsu, I swear I didn't know that she was-."

Natsu hit him hard in his face. "Don't you dare say anything your asshole! I don't fucking care if you hate writers, but Lucy hasn't done anything to deserve this! Plus, you are a fucking cop, act like one!" Natsu shouted at him and hit him again. "If I ever hear you say anything bad about Lucy again, then you will regret it Gajeel." Natsu said and walked away from him.

"Is it too late to say hey?" Gray asked when Natsu was standing next to Lucy again.

"Gray, this is Lucy. Lucy this is the stripper." Natsu said. Lucy tried to smile.

"So it was you who said it to her! I thought about it after they had left the police station. She called me a stripper and said that someone from fire station told her about that!" Gray said.

"Of course I said it. Look down and you will understand yourself." Natsu said. Gray looked down and found himself without his pants.

"When did this happened!?" When he finally had his pants on again Lucy decided to talk to him.

"Hey Gray. Nice to meet you." Lucy said with a broken voice.

"Oh, you sound horrible when you have cried." Cana said and patted her on her back.

"Gray-sama, who is that woman!?" A woman with blue long hair had just entered.

"Juvia, I wondered just where you were." said Gray.
"Gray-sama, it doesn't answer Juvia's question, who is she?" Said Juvia and looked at Lucy with a killer look. Lucy noticed that she was talking about herself as third person, but that no one cared about, so it's probably a thing she has.

"Juvia this is Lucy, you know the girl Natsu has been talking about ..?" Gray said carefully.

"Why is she sitting with you?" said Juvia and pouted.

"Oh, you must be Gray's girlfriend!" Said Lucy and smiled at her. "Hi, I'm Lucy. Nice to meet you!"

Juvia looked at her. "Yes, Juvia is Gray-sama's girlfriend. So stay away."

"Juvia! I told you she is with Natsu. Stop it!" Gray said and sighed.

"But Gray-sama! Why is she sitting with you!?" She cried.

"Because we were talking and Natsu is in the bathroom. Juvia don't you trust me!?" Gray said and sighed again.

"Of course Juvia trust Gray-sama! It is other women's that Juvia doesn't trust!" Juvia said and pouted again.

"You don't have to worry. I'm not interested in Gray." Lucy said and smiled.

"Exactly! She likes Natsu!" Gray said.

Lucy blushed hard. "I... I didn't say that." Stuttered Lucy out.

"No need to lie Lucy." Said Gray and blinked at her.

"I… Stop." Lucy said and blushed even harder.

"You think you will lose him? You are all he is talking about when he is here. It's not like I'm going to tell him." Gray said.

"Tell who and what?" Natsu said behind them.

Lucy turned around. "Natsu!" Lucy said and blushed. He raised an eyebrow, and looked at Gray for answers. Gray just laughed.

"We were talking about you actually." Gray said and smirked at Natsu.

"What crap are you fooling her with now?" Natsu said and sighed.

"Maybe I should tell her about your teenage time." Gray said and smirked at him.

"She already knows everything." Said Natsu and shook his head.

"What? You told her about every girl!?"Gray shouted out in surprise. Lucy laughed at him. "Wait! Does she know that Lisanna was crazy in you when we were younger?"

"What does that have to do with anything?" Natsu said.

"You said she knew everything..." Gray said.

"The reason to why I haven't told her that, is that it's not important. And it was Lisanna's feelings, not mine. If I was going to talk about girls that liked me in school then I should have told her a lot of names." Natsu said and sighed.

Lucy was stuck in her thoughts. Was Lisanna one of the girls he has been sleeping with? She didn't know why but the idea hurt more than it should.

"I never touched Lisanna, so I still don't get it why you brought it up." It was like he could read her minds.

"You were there when I found out about her feelings, so you know what happened." Natsu said and Gray began to laugh.

"I remember! You throw up!" Gray said.

"Wait, what?" Lucy said. Natsu looked at her with a blush.

"Well, Lisanna is like a little sister to me and when I heard that she liked me, more than like a brother it felt weird and gross! The thought of being with her like that, made me sick and I throw up." Natsu explained.

"Poor girl!" Lucy said.

"She doesn't know that. She only knows that I don't like her like that." Natsu said.

"Still, it's not a nice thing to do…" Lucy said.

"Hey, I was young okay? And I told you I was horrible when I was a teenager." Natsu said and crossed his arms over his chest.

Lucy smiled at him. "Yeah, you did."

The rest of the evening did they spent side by side, and when the others kicked off old stories about their teenage years - did Lucy repeatedly what she promised him. She was pretty sure he would have a bruise on his leg the day after. Every time she kicked or hit him, he took her hand in his and squeezed it and she could see him smiling even though he wasn't looking at her.

Soon Lucy was asleep leaning against Natsu. Natsu smiled down at her. She really was beautiful. He could get used to having her sleeping next to himself. He heard a female giggle and looked up and saw Mira smiled big at him.

"She means a lot to you." She said, no need for questions - she saw clearly what Lucy means to him. "

Yeah, it's hard to explain but it feels like we have known each other forever. She means the world to me. I just wished that I was brave enough to tell her that." Natsu said and looked down at Lucy.

"You will be Natsu when you are ready. I think it's a good thing that you are taking this slow. Don't get me wrong, I want to see you two running around with kids here. But I don't want you to hurry with this, so that this leads to both of you are getting hurt. She is a nice girl and it's clear that you means a lot to her." Mira said and smiled softly at him.

"Yes Natsu, be careful, you two are perfect for each other. But sometimes you just need time." Lisanna said. She was jealous of Lucy, the way Natsu looked at her, he has never looked at another woman like that and Lisanna wished it was her that he looked at like that. Lucy is a nice girl and it's clear that they like each other. Lisanna want him to be happy.

"I know this is early to say but I love her. But you two are right, I'm not going to hurry in this. I want this to work. I want to live the rest of my life with this woman." Said Natsu and smiled at Lucy's sleeping form. Mira jumped up and down in joy as she clapped her hands. Natsu was finally in love with someone and she hoped with all her heart that he was going to get his happy ending. Lisanna smiled but her smile didn't reach her eyes, and she was happy that Natsu didn't noticed it.

"Maybe you should drive her home Natsu." Evergreen said, next to her was a man who was roughly built. But it's clear that he was Mira and Lisanna's brother.

"Elfman! Where were you tonight? I haven't seen you!" Said Natsu.

"I've been here all night. You've just been too busy to notice it." Elfman said and smirked at him.

"Natsu, you should really drive her home. She has worked extremely hard this week. She is totally exhausted." Evergreen said again ignored Elfman's words.

"It's not manly of you Natsu!" Elfman said.

"I guess you're right. It's getting late anyway." Natsu said. Mira waved off everyone from Natsu's table and let him wake Lucy himself.

"Hey, Lucy." Natsu said and shook her lightly. She mumbled in her sleep 'Natsu' … 'best' … 'forever'. Words that got Natsu extremely happy. She was dreaming about him. He tried again to wake her up. "Lucy." She rubbed her eyes and looked at him tired. Until it struck her that she looked at Natsu and that they were still in Fairy Tail. She blushed so hard that had anyone had a tomato next to her, she would have beaten it by being redder.

"OMG, I'm so sorry Natsu." She said in panic. Natsu laughed softly.

"Calm down Lucy! You are not the first or the last person to fall asleep in Fairy Tail." Said Natsu and smiled at her.

"How long was I eliminated?" Lucy asked and blushed.

"Eliminated?" He said and laughed harder at her.

She blushed harder. "You know what I mean!" she said and he just continued to laugh. "Stop it. You're embarrassing me in front of your friends." She said and hide behind her hands.

"You are so cute when you are blushing Lucy." He said and helped her up from the table. "Let's go and say good bye to the others." He said.

"Thanks Mira for the good food. It was long since I ate such good food. And I want to apologize that I fell asleep." Said Lucy and blushed. Mira smiled at her.

"No Lucy, thank you." Mira said. Lucy just looked confused at her, why did she thank her? "And don't worry about falling asleep here. It looked like you had it very comfortable there." Lucy blushed again. Can you die if you are blushing too much?

"Well I should drive you home Lucy." Said Natsu and took her hand in his. When they said goodbye to everyone, Lucy noticed that Lisanna looked - no stared - at their hands and when she noticed that Lucy saw it, she left the room.

"I hope you had a good time here, except for the Gajeel thing." Natsu said when they were outside.

"Yeah, your friends are really nice and I loved it here." Lucy said and smiled at him. He was still holding her hand and Lucy looked down at their hands and felt so much happiness.

"Natsu... I think Lisanna still loves you." She said and continued to look at their hands.

"What make you think that?" He said and she felt his gaze on her without looking up.

"Maybe it's because I'm a woman that I saw it, but it was there, the jealousy. When you took my hand when we said good bye to everyone, she was staring at our hands until she noticed that I saw. Her eyes screamed of jealousy, and I think that was why she left the room, because she noticed that I saw it." Lucy said and looked him in the eyes.

Natsu just looked at her. "You don't think you maybe is overreacting?" He asked.

"No. I know what I saw. And I don't want to be in the way for you and your friends." Lucy said and looked down again.

"You are not in the way in any kind of way Lucy!" Natsu said and raised his voice. "If you are right, that Lisanna still have feelings for me, then I feel sorry for her that she hasn't moved on. She knows that I don't love her - and that I never will." Natsu said.

Lucy looked surprised at him. "Just because she knows, doesn't mean that it is always so easy to move on. Especially when she sees you so often. But that, however has she chosen herself." Lucy said.

"Lucy… there is something I want to talk to you about." Natsu said.

Lucy picked up one of her fingers and put it over his lips. "No. Not yet. Don't tell me when you know that none of us is ready to hear it." Lucy said.

He smiled behind her finger. "Okay."

"I will drive you home now." He said. "Maybe Levy is starting to get worried where you are."

Lucy shook her head. "She is not my mother Natsu." She said as she sat down in his car.

Natsu laughed hard and she couldn't help but to smile.
