Chapter 9

His warm hands slid down her body, getting under her clothes. He put light kisses all over her face, then kissed her lips passionately. He paid much attention to her neck, leaving red marks on a soft skin, making hushed moans left her lips. Her breath hitched, her heartbeat seemed so loud that the whole school could hear it. Her trembling fingers tangled in his hair. His touches was excited, arousing burning desire in her body. She didn't even resist when he unbuttoned her blouse.

He left a trail of kisses from the chin to the navel while his hand stroke her hip. He kissed her bare shoulder gently. She hadn't known that such a simple kiss can be so exciting. He looked in her eyes. It was the most unusual gaze which he gave to her that made butterflies fly in her stomach ...

But then the school bell rang ...

"Stop." School bell does not ring for so long time and so nasty. Lucy's hand found alarm clock and turned it off. Not only the events that took place in the infirmary didn't get out of her head, but she had a dream about it in all details. Not the best beginning of Saturday morning. And when she had remembered that she should go shopping with Dragneel today, she didn't want to stick out her head under the blanket.

Blankets, pillows, bed ... 'Do not think about that, Lucy!', she scolded herself. She convinced herself that such a reaction to their activities with Dragneel was because of her tiredness that day and that she couldn't think properly.

"I didn't think at all that time!", blushed from her own thoughts blonde. For a split second in her mind flashed the thought that on the bed in the school infirmary she could lose ... "No, no, no", she covered her head with a blanket, as if defending herself from that though. "It will happen with the guy that I will love and who will love me and not with perverted womanizer, no matter how skillful lover he is."

That time also school bell stopped them. Dragneel said he didn't want to miss the history lesson so Lucy's work wouldn't be wasted. Well, it would have seemed sweet to her if after that he didn't say that Lucy should quit work to take better care of his master. And if she will need money she should tell him about it. Yeah, like her pride would allow her to ask him something like that. But the girl agreed to go shopping with him just because of curiosity. She hasn't met the guy before who voluntarily went with the girl for shopping. Perhaps he's up to something again. But Lucy vowed that will not allow the events of her dream happen again. After all, she doesn't even like Dragneel and never will!

They agreed to meet at the most fashionable shopping center in the city. Lucy recently moved here and hasn't been there yet. She came about ten minutes earlier but Natsu already was there.

″Hi″, greeted him Lucy, smiling politely. It was unusual to see Dragneel in casual clothes. And he looked at her with interest too. She was dressed in tight jeans and blue top, hair, tied in two tails made her especially charming.

″Hi″, the guy leaned toward her. She expected a kiss on the cheek, but he kissed her shoulder. Blushing, Lucy moved away from him for a couple of steps.

″You want to buy something for?″ asked Lucy curiously.

″Yes. The school held a lot of events, and sometimes our classmates spend weekends together. So we're going to spend a lot of time together out of school″.

'What a joy', Lucy rolled her eyes.

″And my honey should have appropriate clothes. But I can see that you have a sense of style″. Once more he looked at her from head to toe.

″And you're fashion expert?″ ironically asked Lucy.

″No, I'm expert in beautiful girls″, he stated. ″By the way, the next weekend we are going to the aqua park. So, first let's go and buy you a swimsuit.″ said Natsu

″I have a swimsuit!″ said Lucy

″Well, there will be another one.″ answer Natsu easily.

'Damn, Dragneel', thought Lucy, standing in the dressing room at the store. 'I knew he was up with something'. He decided to entertain himself with the swimsuit defile performed by Lucy.

When they came into the store, he handed her a dozen of swimsuits, saying that she should try and show each of them. All swimsuits were bikini and more open than she would like. Now she has the first blue one on. Taking a deep breath, she opened a curtain.

Her cheeks became pink. Lucy wasn't shy about her body. She knew that she has an attractive figure. But standing under the gaze of Dragneel in this way she didn't like it.

″Well, well, come closer″, Dragneel said softly. She timidly took a couple of steps, trying not to meet his gaze. He stared at her gorgeous figure, big breasts, lightly covered with a swimsuit, slender legs. Stooped shoulders, hands clenched into fists, eyes that looked at the floor ... Natsu felt like a pervert.

″What do you think?″ Lucy muttered.

″Not bad. Try others and choose the one you like best. I need to make a call″, said Natsu softly.

″Ok″, he never ceased to amaze her. Didn't he find her attractive? She, of course, didn't care, but such a quick change was a bit scary. Lucy went to try on other swimsuits.

Natsu took out his phone to dial Gray's number, but Gray called him first.

″Hey″, said Natsu.

″Hey! What's with sad voice? How is your shopping with Lucy?″ asked Gray.

″Sucks″, replied pink haired guy displeased.

″Why? Didn't you have a brilliant idea?″ Natsu was sure that his classmate was grinning right now.

″I must be sick or something, I don't want to look at Lucy in swimsuits. Or rather I want, but only if she... Damn, I'm confused!″ said Natsu with frustration voice

″Maybe you fall...?″ respon Gray quickly.

″Don't you dare to say this!″ yelled Natsu, for which he received an angry glance from the shop assistant. ″And you're probably spying after Juvia and Lyon″, said Natsu muttered.

″I'm not spying, I just also love to walk in that park. And I never liked that Lyon, I'm worried for her.″ answer Gray in nervous tone.

Natsu laughed softly and said ″Well, keep worrying, talk to you later″.

″Bye″, said Gray and hung up.

″Natsu″, someone called his with ringing voice. He turned around and saw Lucy in a blue swimsuit with yellow stars. He realized that it was the first time she called him by name, and he liked the way it sounded from her lips. ″You're all right?″

″Yes. You look great in this swimsuit. I think you should take it. I'll wait for you at the cash desk.″ He walked away. Lucy once again looked at herself in the mirror. In this swimsuit she looked more cute than sexy. She liked it, but why Natsu like it? Well, okay, she decided not to bother about it, it was more interested in where they will go next.

″You know, I actually have clothes! And it is quite normal″, said Lucy to Natsu, carrying in both hands a few packages with new clothes that Natsu bought for her. There were dresses, blouses, and accessories. Despite her protests, Dragneel took her from one store to another. She needs to admit that he had good taste, and he even gave her advices. If you can call the advices the comments about which dress better emphasizes her breasts. In general, he starts to behave as usual.

″I promised you to compensate you your salary.″ said Natsu.

″Yes, and you have already done it. And besides, I didn't spend it all on my clothes″, she was explaining to him.

″Then, let's go to the shoe store″, simply said Natsu.

Lucy once again rolled her eyes but followed Natsu. But something caught her eye. They came by the toy store, where was incredibly beautiful princess doll, with nice dress and a little crown. Lucy even stopped to get a better look at her. Asuka would be thrilled with this doll.

″How old is your niece?″ interrupt her thoughts Dragneel.

″Seven ″. 'He that has read my thoughts?'.

″Let's buy her this doll″, offered Natsu. Lucy looked at him. His face softened, eyes were dreamy. He seemed to remember something good.

Lucy looked at all of the packages in her hands. She was embarrassed to receive so many things from him, but was so anxious to suprise Asuka. So she agreed to go to the store.

While she was looking at toys, Natsu had already bought something, but she didn't notice what exactly it was. Now he had two packages in his hands. After paying for the doll, they left the shopping center.

″Natsu?″ Lucy turned to the guy, when they were already on the street.

″Yes?″ said Natsu

″Thank you″, said Lucy, smiling sincerely. Somehow, it seemed to him that he got a smile because of the doll. Lucy was so kind, she was happier to buy a present for a little girl than for herself.

″You're welcome!″ he went closer to her, not taking his eyes off her scarlet lips. But, not daring to touch them, he kissed her on the shoulder instead, as in the morning. ″See you on Monday.″

″Bye″, almost whispered Lucy.

All the way home there was only one question in guy's head "What are you doing to me, Lucy?".

As soon as he entered the house, two small blue haired tornados nearly knocked him down.

″Natsu is back!″ A boy and a girl chirped in unison.

″Have you already missed me, Happy, Wendy?″ Natsu patted twins on the head.

″Will you play with us?″ hopefully asked six year old girl.

″Of course″, Natsu smiled brightly. ″I bought you a new toy. Let's go to the backyard″ sais him.

Handing bags to his brother and picked up the little sister in his arms, Natsu went to play with them. Sincere cheerful smile that he never showed at school never left his face.
