Love Starts in the Opposite Direction

Chapter 10

We were done with dinner and decided to head home though deep down, I was wishing the day didn't have to end so fast.

I got to know Natsu a bit more, like how he didn't want to carry on with the company but Makarov didn't trust his actually grandson, Laxus, to take over instead.

I felt a bit sad that Natsu was just an adopted son. He didn't know where his parents went but that didn't drag him down which made me so proud of him. I just wanted to jump over to his side and hug him there and then but you know; I didn't want to be so clingy over to him yet.

Natsu got to know more about me as well. Like how my family used to be so rich when Mama was still alive but after her death, took a toll on my dad so his company just went down.

It touched me when he placed his hand over mine, showing concern in his eyes as we ate at a corner table in a fancy restaurant but I don't know why I didn't pulled away from his grasp but instead I turned my hand over and squeezed his hand instead.

I was just thinking so much about how our relationship is actually improving that I didn't realized I fell asleep. I felt the car stopped moving but I don't know why the will to open my eyes was so difficult.

The next thing I felt was strong arms wrapped around my body. I decided to try and lift my eyes and I saw it was Natsu, carrying me in a princess hold. I submitted defeat to my tiredness as I felt comfortable and protected within Natsu's arms.

I think Natsu placed me on his bed because I could feel the same softness when I slept with him yesterday. I stirred before I decided to wake up and rubbed my eyes. I looked around and only to feel disappointed.

Oh, I'm in my room. I should be glad right since I was the one who hesitated to sleep together but why do I feel disappointed? I guess deep down inside me, I really do want to sleep beside Natsu because the feeling was indescribable. It was nice being in his arms and sleeping together. The most important fact is that he didn't even take advantage of me like any other guys will.

I brought my knees to my chest and I let out a big sigh before letting my forehead rest on my knees. My thoughts got interrupted when I heard a knock on my door.

"Luce, you awake?" He called for me ever so softly, just enough that I could hear.

I quickly got up and ran to the door to open it. Natsu stood chest naked in front of me, wearing just shorts as his towel hang over his shoulder.

"Thanks Natsu, for carrying me up to my room." I decided to break the awkwardness first.

"It's alright." Natsu said as he brought his hand up to tugged my hair that hung loosely behind my ear. "It was a long day after all. I'm just glad you enjoyed it."

We just stared into each other's eyes for I don't know how long. Soon, we crashed into each other's lips. First, it was just a long intense peck on the lips but I parted my lips as I needed to let out a moan and Natsu's tongue came crashing into my mouth. We were kissing each other so hungrily. Natsu hands were holding my face as I held both sides of his arms.

We broke the kiss as we both needed to catch a breath. Both of us were heavily panting but our eyes still locked onto each other.

"Luce…" The way Natsu called my name was just giving me goosebumps and sending chills down my spine.

I decided to bring my arms around his neck and pulled him down for another kiss. Our tongues were in each other's mouth as we fought on the passion that we are feeling for each other now. Natsu brought his hands under my thighs as he lifted me up. Automatically, I wrapped my legs around his waist as he brought me into my room. He laid me down carefully onto the bed as he hovered above me and broke the kiss.

He was now at my neck as he kissed and sucked at it.

"Natsu…" I couldn't help but to call his name out in a moan.

Natsu pulled away from my neck and looked down at me.

"Luce, the more you called my name like that. I don't think I can take it any longer."

I brought my hands up to circle around the back of his neck so that I could pull him down closer to me.

"It's alright Natsu because I am already starting to fall in love with you." I finished off my confession with a smile and I could see Natsu's happy face.

Today will be a day that will be etched to my memory. Firstly, we had a wonderful time together by starting off with an amazing date and to end it off, we made love to each other until our hearts content. I didn't know why I didn't feel embarrassed being naked in front of Natsu. Maybe it is because he already saw me naked the other day OR I am starting to trust him. I think I will not regret it for the world for meeting Natsu now.

The blaring lights that creaked out from the window curtains caused me to stir in my sleep. I paused when I wasn't able to move like I usually do. I woke up and looked over my shoulder and saw Natsu was sleeping soundly. I suddenly turned back as I recalled last night events and feeling sore at my core.

I couldn't help but to smile to myself and blushed at the same time. I didn't know having sex with Natsu will be great and he was really gentle when he found out it was my first time. Come to think of it, Natsu didn't mention anything about me being his first. I could feel jealousy erupting within me. I decided to turn towards him and poke him in the chest.

"Natsu."

"Hmm."

"Am I your first?"

I think that got Natsu to open his eyes and look at me.

"Yes Luce, you are." Natsu answered me as he hugged me tightly against him and I assumed he was trying to go back to sleep.

"Really?"

"Hmm."

"But how come you knew what to do?"

Natsu pulled back so he could look at me.

"Luce, you just asked such as embarrassing question." Natsu said as he pinched my nose and I just had to pout.

"Because Natsu, you're my first so I want to know. I need to know."

"Yes Luce, you're my first and before you start questioning me, boys do watch porn so yeah." I could see his cheeks were turning red and I couldn't help but to stifle a giggle. "Eh, you're laughing now uh. You won't be laughing so much if I tickle you now right?"

I started screaming and squealing as Natsu tickled me all over. I pleaded him to stop and he did by giving me a kiss on my lips.

"Good morning beautiful. I haven't greeted my wife ever since we got married."

"Yeah, because I hated you that I just want to get out of this house whenever I could."

"What about now?"

"I just confessed to you last night Natsu. Don't tell me you forgot?"

"No I didn't. I just needed to be sure." Natsu gave his signature wide smile before I playfully slapped his chest.

"Alright mister, let's get up. We do have work today you know." I sat up as I held the blanket along with me.

"You sure you want to go to work Luce?"

I was puzzled. "Er yeah?"

"You're not feeling any pain?

Oh god, this is making me fall in love with him more. Natsu is definitely such a charmer. "I'm fine. I'll just walk slowly that's all." I turned back and smiled at him.

"Aww Luce, we can stay in bed together all day you know." Natsu begged like a child who's pleading his parents to buy them toys.

"Well, we could do that every night from now on." I finished off with giving him a wink.

"Oh yeah!" Natsu fist pumped in the air and I couldn't help but to laugh. Natsu can be so mature at times and also child like at times.

"Let's shift your things to my room tonight?" Natsu got up and wore his shorts.

"I don't think that's necessary right Natsu? After all, this room is part of your house."

"But I want to share things with you Luce. That room won't be mine anymore instead it's gonna be ours. Isn't that what husband and wife does?"

I looked at him for a long time, thinking and finally I caved in.

"Fine, but you got to help me with it Natsu. I am not going through with cleaning the house alone ever again."

"Yes ma'am!" Natsu stood up and mock saluted to me. I just had to laugh at his idiocy and cuteness.

Both of us went to take a shower and get ready for work. Natsu demanded we go to work together now but he'll drop me off nearby since I didn't want the company to know of our relationship yet.

Once I arrived at work, I settled down by my desk and I was humming to a tune. I saw everyone was giving me looks because I have never come to work this happy before. I think I can get used to this life and furthermore, it's healthy too.

I went to the pantry to get some coffee and I saw Loki was already there.

"Morning Loki, what's up?"

"Hey Lucy, you seem brighter and livelier than usual."

"Yeah, some good things happened." Omg, I think I am getting creepier by the second because I realized I keep smiling to myself nowadays. I got to stop it. "Alright Loki, I'll head back to my desk first."

Before I could even make 3 steps, Loki grabbed my wrist which caused me to turn around and look at him.

"Lucy I need to tell you something."
