A/N: Please read to the end! I need your help! Yes YOU! I have a story idea on here and I really want your feedback. It can be in a review and or take the two second poll. Anytewho!
Last Time:
Natsu walked slowly to not jossel Lucy awake who fell asleep a few minutes into the walk. Natsu looked up at the stars and could have sworn that the moon was shining brighter than usual. He turned his head a bit to smell Lucy. Even through her perspiration and mud, she still smelt nice to him.
When he finally made it to her house he went in through the window because he didn't want to search for her keys. Once inside the lights inside of the house flooded the entire room and woke up Lucy.
"Home already," Lucy asked groggily.
"Yeah," Natsu said and looked at the man that turned the lights on.
"Put my girlfriend down and quietly leave Dragneel. I can take care of things from here on out," Tomas said and put his pistol back in his pocket.
Natsu did as told and placed Lucy on her bed while putting her in the covers. Natsu flared his nose and bared his teeth. He jumped down and obliterated a tree that was seven feet tall with his Fire magic imagining it was Tomas' face.
"I'm not jealous...maybe a little," Natsu whispered to himself to calm himself down.
Chapter 7
My Mate...Wait My Best Friend Lucy
Lucy's Apartment the Next Morning
Lucy stirred in her bed and hugged her pillow tight. Without opening her eyes she scrunched her face because she didn't remember walking home last night.
'Natsu must have carried me home. Thank you Natsu,' Lucy thought and popped her eyes open.
'The bet! Well that goes one I owe you. Well worth it,' Lucy thought.
She settled back in bed and noticed that she was in clean clothes and wasn't dirty.
She opened her eyes again and this time sat all the way up in bed. She looked over expecting Natsu sleeping next to her. She was ready to give him an ear full about privacy and not taking her clothes off which meant perverted creep.
But her pink haired friend was not beside her or in the room for that matter. At her makeshift kitchen was her good friend Tomas flipping pancakes on her stove.
'The stove actually works, huh,' Lucy thought and pulled back the covers.
She felt the green silk nightgown with black trim and thin straps that barely came to her thighs. She looked around for her long unfashionable robe but only found the robe that went with her nightgown.
"Uhm, good morning, Tomas," Lucy said sweetly covering herself with her covers.
She was definitely positive that the robe wouldn't cover much of anything.
"Oh Lucy my dear. You are finally awake. I was hoping that I would have been done with your breakfast before you woke up," Tomas said sweetly.
He walked to her with a plate with pancakes browned to perfect, scrambled eggs and some toast. She tried not to giggle because of the pink and white frilly apron he had on.
"I'm sorry for laughing. But where did you get that apron from?" Lucy asked while taking the proffered plate of delicious smelling food.
"It's my mom's. She leant it to me so I wouldn't mess up my clothes," Tomas said and pulled up Lucy's desk chair next to her bed.
He leaned over and moved a piece of her blonde hair behind her ear and smiled at her.
'Okay creepy. It's too early to be smiling especially when I'm trying to eat. Hmm eggs need a bit of salt,' Lucy thought and grinned back.
"How is the food. I hope it's not too salty," Tomas asked.
"No, they are perfect," Lucy lied and continued to eat.
"So I was thinking that I could take you shopping for my parent's annual Christmas party. You are able to come right. It would mean the world to my Mom and Terry. You know how much they miss you and me of course," Tomas said and grabbed Lucy's hand.
"Oh Tomas I would but the thing is," Lucy began to say and searched her memory for a valid but slightly made up believable excuse.
"Oi Lucy are you ready to get your I owe yous out of the-why are you still here?" Natsu asked as he tumbled and flipped into the room.
"I could ask you the same thing! Why are you tumbling in a woman's room while she is eating breakfast?" Tomas stood up quickly ready to defend Lucy's modesty.
"Hey, hey you two! Take it outside!" Lucy yelled and brought her cover up closer around her chest.
"What is that smell? Oh food...Phew that tastes horrible. Did your landlady have you play guinea pig again, Lucy?" Happy asked taking a big bit out of her lukewarm eggs.
"Happy that's rude 'but slightly true'! Natsu why are you here? We are not on the same team so I do not need a personal escort or whatever you are here for. Your actual team needs you," Lucy said still a bit pissed.
"We are still family no matter what separate teams we are on. Again why is this guy here? Where did you get that thing you are wearing from? I've never seen it before," Natsu said and fold his arms.
"I-wait a minute! How do you know what I own and don't own dragon boy?" Lucy questioned.
"As your mat-friend. As your friend I notice those type of things. You are getting off topic. What's he doing in your room?" Natsu asked uncharacteristically angry.
Lucy was about to yell at him about minding his business but something was telling her to calm Natsu down before he flipped. She saw him trying to stay in control and level headed.
'What the hell is his problem?' Lucy thought.
"Well?" Natsu asked expectedly with a raised eyebrow.
"Tomas do you mind stepping outside for a moment,"Lucy turned and asked Tomas.
Tomas was about to protest but his instinct of human survival kicked in. He stood up and collected Lucy's plate without saying a word.
He gathered his black jacket and went to the front door but stopped.
He had his back to the other two occupants and smirked. He turned back and walked back to Lucy and lifted up her chin.
"I'll collect you tomorrow morning so we can head up to my family's winter home. I had a lovely time," Tomas said sensually and kissed Lucy on her unexpected lips.
Lucy sat there surprised at what Tomas was doing in front of Natsu. As quickly the kiss started it was over.
Tomas left as Natsu was changing unhealthy shades of red.
"Natsu your ears! They have steam coming out of them and you're burning Lucy's carpet," Happy said trying to calm his friend down.
Lucy came out of her stupor and grabbed a cup of water and doused Natsu with it.
Natsu' eyes weren't black and his skin turned back to his normal tan color.
"Thanks Lucy," Natsu said and jumped out of her window running at full speed to the guild hall.
'What's wrong with me! I almost killed that...ass! I need to talk to Gajeel,' Natsu thought to himself as he ran faster.
"I better go,ouch. Lucy why did you grab my tail?" Happy whined holding his tail.
"I have some questions cat and you are going to answer them,"Lucy said sitting on her knees on her bed.
"Gulp okay,"Happy said.
…
…
"So, Shrimp do you want to get out of here and get something to eat tonight?" Gajeel whispered in Levy's ear.
Levy giggled while she continued to read her book.
"I would,Gajeel where did you go?" Levy asked looking around the guild.
.

"Fire brains you better have a damn good reason for taking me away from my mate," Gajeel growled and shoving Natsu off of him.
Natsu stumbled back taking deep breaths.
"I almost killed a guy in Lucy's room,"Natsu said and straighten up.
"Well about time. You found your mate Salamander. What are you going to do for the mating ritual?" Gajeel asked.
"Mating ritual?" Natsu questioned.
Gajeel rolled his eyes.
"Did your dragon teach you anything. Come let ol' Gajeel tell you a thing or two before you screw it up and scare Bunny Girl,"Gajeel said and clasped his hand on Natsu's shoulder and lead them to a local tavern to have "the talk".

"Ugh where's Natsu? I know I could have sworn he went this way. Natsu! Where are you! You better not be with that-that bitch Lucy Slutfilia!" Lisanna yelled into the night.
"Can I help you Miss?" a man asked coming upon Lisanna in the alley Natsu was moments ago.
Lisanna turned around in embarrassment because of what she said out loud.
"Uhm do-do I know you? Hey aren't you Lucy's friend Francis or Timothy?" Lisanna trying to remember the guy's name.
"Cute. Tomas Calhoun. Pleasure Uhm," Tomas said and held his hand out.
"Lisanna Strauss. What are you doing here?" Lisanna asked looking around at the slightly secluded area.
"Passing by. Couldn't help overhearing your...Uhm confession about my erm girlfriend,"Tomas said.
"Oh that well you see...I," Lisanna fumbling over words to come up with an excuse.
"I think we can help each other," Tomas said coyly with a smirk.
"What do you mean?" Lisanna asked tilting her head.
"I'm in love with her and I think you are in love with the pink haired fellow...Nico?" Tomas said.
"His name is Natsu but what do you have in mind? I think I can help. Because who wants to stand in the middle of destined love, right?" Lisanna asked.
"Perfect. Meet me here at this address in two hours,"Tomas said and handed her a folded piece of paper.
Lisanna looked at it and grinned. She hurried out of the alley and air pumped.
Tomas watched her antics and chuckled.
He took out his lacrima communication device and sent a quick message.

Inspiration: Sleeping with the Enemy
Chapter 1
On a warm summer night near a privately owned beach stood a lonely semi-secluded two-story house that was made up of glass windows. The house overlooked the wide blue lake that fed to the ocean. Sand covered the front and backyard of the house for miles and miles as far as the eyes could see. Across the lake was the closest to civilization that could only be reached by boat or a person had to swim across.
A blonde haired woman was in the cold water to her lower toned calves, collecting sea shells to make a necklace. A blonde haired man looked at the woman bending down in the water gathering the seashells and smiled at the woman's antics. He walked towards her from the dock that was behind her and covered her eyes when he was near her. The woman immediately popped up and felt the masculine hands on her eyes.
"Guess who,Lucy," the man said in her ear seductively.
"Uhm,hmm," Lucy pretended and giggled.
"Lucy," the man said warningly.
"Ok, it must be my darling husband, Sting," Lucy said and turned towards her husband.
He grinned at her and began kissing her passionately. She eagerly kissed him back and placed her sand covered arms around his neck to bring him closer. Sting pulled back to move Lucy's hair out of her eyes and kissed her nose.
"I love you Lucy and I will never let you go," Sting whispered and kissed her again.
Lucy looked away shyly and sucked on her bottom lip with her dimples showing a little bit.
'He must of had a good day. Thank goodness,' Lucy thought.
"We have a dinner party to go to. Let's get dressed. Come on," Sting said and kissed his wife on the forehead. She wrapped her water soaked arms around his waist and walked back to their house made out of glass.

Days Later
"Hi honey, I will have your dinner on the table in just a ,-" Lucy began but was met with a fist to her face.
"How many times do I have to tell you that my food need to be put on the table when I get home. You don't have me waiting like I'm some customer! What's your excuse now?" her husband shouted at her.
"I-I lost track of time. I'm sorry," Lucy said quietly with her left hand on her cheek.
"Yes you are. What was I thinking when I made you marry me. I was an idiot. Just wanted your pussy and it wasn't even that good," Sting her husband said venomously.
"I didn't mean to make you angry. The food is done. You just have to-," Lucy began but her other cheek was met with the a slap then a punch to her nose.
"I don't have to do shit that I don't want to do. The boss already tell me what to do. Now I have to come home and listen to you bitch and complain. You know what. I'm just going to eat out,"Sting said in a huff and went to the bathroom.
He shoved Lucy out of the way to make his way down the hallway. He stopped in the threshold and inspected the immaculate master bathroom but he found a minut problem.
"You dumb bitch. Get your ass in here now," Sting yelled from inside the master bathroom.
Lucy hurriedly ran to the master bathroom to see what was the matter.
Sting was standing in front of the towel rack with an irritated raised eyebrow.
"You see what the problem is?" Sting asked through gritted teeth.
"I-I-," Lucy began and corrected the eyesore of the three decorate towels not aligned to each other with two centimeters of a space between them. It was slightly off but a hair.
"I know you are sorry. No, correction, you are useless,"Sting said and just rolled his eyes.
He pushed her out of the way and went to his bedroom to change. He took off his grey and red suit and hung it up in the closet. He then exchanged that outfit with a black button down, khaki pants, and brown Sperry shoes. He gelled his hair into spikes and applied some cologne on his body. He took his wedding ring off, placed it in his pocket, and walked out of the house without saying anything to Lucy.
Lucy saw her husband of three years walk out of the house until he got to his car. Lucy wiped her eyes, her bloody nose, and clutched her stomach.
'Just glad he didn't hit me in my stomach. I guess he wasn't too mad today,' Lucy thought sadly.
She went to the garden tub and cut the water on to hot and poured a cap full of lavender scented bubble bath. She looked at the glass walls that surrounded her like a prison. She leaned back in the tub willing her body to relax. She took a deep breath and screamed in her hands.
Lucy let her mind wonder and knew that she deserved better for herself and the child that was growing inside of her body.
She saw her reflection of her fair skinned body and rubbed her thumb over with scars that was fading but was still there. Memories of how she got them and the reasons for them made Lucy cry harder.
She looked at the new bruise that was developing on her face from earlier in the evening. It was a bit sore to the touch still. Lucy was surprised that she still felt pain because she knew she hadn't felt love in a long time.
She just slipped deeper into the steaming water until it covered her mouth.
'I got to escape or I am going to die alone here,' Lucy thought to herself.
AN: I am thinking of calling this story Shattered Hearts or just Shattered. Please take the poll on my profile. I will leave it up for about two days! Thanks!
Until Next Time
