Recap:

"What have I done?"he asked himself clenching his fist to his chest.

A single tear fell down his face.

...

Lucy Pov

As I ran down the street I felt stupid, in every way possible. Why did I do that? I know I like it when he kisses me and I didn't push him away before, so why? When he kisses me, it makes me feel special. Like I'm actually somebody to him. But how do I know that? How do I know?

I stopped and put my hands on my knees. I was exhausted. I didn't know how long I had been running but it was to far for my tastes. I looked back. Luckily he wasn't chasing me. Then I looked up at the sky and finally realized that nighttime had began. A normal girl would think that she needed to hurry home, but I didn't. My father wouldn't care anyways. He didn't care about me. He didn't care about anything but business and his own little life. If only mom were still here...

I looked up at the sky again and it eased all my worries. The sky looked beautiful. All the stars twinkling and different hues of blue and black always eased me. It reminded me of my mother because we always used to go star gazing together. A tear rolled down my face. I knew my mom was watching me from the stars up above. She always had.

I wiped the tears from my eyes. No need to be getting sad now. I decided to go ahead and start heading home.

...

The Next Day

I woke up at around 1:00 pm in the afternoon. It was my weekend! A girl's gotta get her beauty sleep,right? Just in case you were wondering its Saturday. I'm still tired though because I was up all night thinking about Natsu,again.

Maybe we can just act like nothing happened and forget everything. Yeah, that would be good.

You know it wouldn't Lucy.

Shut up conscience! I blurted out

Your just trying to deny it...

Wow, Natsu was really jacking me up. Now I've got a voice inside my head talking to me!

I heard my phone buzz and realized I had got a message. Must be Levy or something. I reached over and picked up my phone and I looked at the ID.

My eyes widened in shock."No way..." I rubbed my eyes and looked again. It was still the same. Then I got really close to the screen and stared at it for a while. But it still didn't change.

"Natsu...Drag...neel." I muttered. Wait! How did he get my number?"

I put my finger over the screen and hesitated to open the message. After about 5 minutes of debating, I closed my eyes and clicked it. Slowly, very very slowly I opened my eyes and read the message.

"Hey Lucy! Are you free today?I was just wondering if you'd like to meet up over my house.Y'now we still have that project that's due in about 3 weeks remember? Or did you forget? Hehe. Typical Lucy, but that's what I like about you! Anyways should I come over and pick you up or are you just coming over here?"

-Natsu

I stared at the screen open mouthed. So he is acting like nothing happened... I wonder if this is a good thing? And I forgot all about that project! Who would have thought Natsu would bring it up? Then again, he might just be trying to relieve some of the tension we made between each other the other day. But is this really going to be okay? I decided to reply to him anyways.

"Sure. And it's true, I completely forgot about that project! ;) I can go over there myself by the way, but thanks. What time should I be there?

-Lucy

My phone buzzed a few seconds later and I read the text.

"Haha! I knew you forgot. Because Natsu knows all! 3 should be fine. Does that time work for you?

-Natsu

"Yeah, that works just fine. See you then?

-Lucy

"See you then."

-Natsu

I sighed and looked down at my phone. 1:15. Well, I better start getting ready. I get the feeling it's gonna take a loooooonnnnggg time.

...

At 2:30

I had successfully gotten ready. Brushed my teeth and washed my face. I also did my hair. I just put a few curls in it and I'm wearing it down. I had on a white see through button up shirt with a tank top under it. And some black skinny jeans. With pretty white flats with a bow on the end. To finish it up I put on a bit of lip gloss. I wasn't really a makeup person. I liked to let my own beauty shine.

I grabbed my white purse with my phone and our project supplies and headed out the door. I sent Natsu a quick text saying I was on the way. Since it was about 2:40 by now, I chose to walk. His house was only about 5 minutes away from mine by car, so I chose to walk so I would be there in about 10 or 15 minutes. I didn't want to be there to early. I also like to enjoy the scenery.

...

Finally at Natsu's House

I walked up to the door and rung the doorbell. My heart unwillingly started beating faster. How was I suppose to greet him? Can I really just act like nothing happened? Then without warning, the door opened revealing a very...I should say... laid back Natsu.

He was wearing a white tank top, (showing off his muscles if I may add) and some black jogging pants.

I slightly blushed. When I looked up at his face, I noticed he was looking at me. Maybe I dressed up to much for this?

"Come in." he said opening the door wider. Then he took the bags from my hands.. I showed him a grateful smile." Thanks, they were getting kind of heavy."

"No prob!" He exclaimed smiling at me

When I had went in, I sat on the couch and looked around. It still looked pretty much the same from the last time I had been here.

He came in and sat down beside me. Then there was an awkward silence. "So...where are your parents?" I asked trying to break the silence.

"They're gone on a business trip."he replied. " Are your parents always gone?"

"Yeah, pretty much. Ever since I was little they've always been in and out. So I've kind of learned how to take care of myself when they're not here."

"Oh really?" I asked sending him a smirk. " If your supposed to be so mature, why do you act so childish?"

"Because...I like to!" Then he reached over and started tickling me. I was laughing uncontrollably and squirming around. "N-Natsu! Stop...tickling ..me! I'm ...gonna...die!" I said trying to control my laughter.

"Say Natsu is super cool and I will release you." "N-No way!"I manged to get out.

"Then I won't stop!" And he started tickling me even more.

"Okay...Okay! Natsu...is *laugh laugh* super *laugh* cool!" Then he released me. "See, that wasn't so hard was it?" I wiped some tears from my eyes then looked at him and pouted. "Your so mean..." Then I grabbed a pillow and threw in his face. "Hey!" he yelled.

Then he grabbed a pillow and threw it at me. And before I knew it, we were running around having a pillow fight. He ran around yelling "Run,run as fast as you can, you can't catch me I'm the gingerbread man!"

"Natsuuu! That is so cliche!" When he was close enough to me I threw a pillow and sent it soaring to his head and he doubled over and fell. I was laughing to hard and couldn't see where I was going and slipped on some unknown object landing straight on top of Natsu.

When I opened my eyes, I was buried straight into Natsu's chest. I couldn't help but take a deep whiff. His cinnamon smell was just so intoxicating! Did he bathe in cinnamon or something?

"Wow, Lucy, you look like a huge scent pervert." This feels like déjà vu, doesn't it?" I looked up at him and glared with a slight blush on my face, but I noticed he had one too. I inwardly smirked to myself. "I'm not a scent pervert!" "Yeah, sure you aren't" he said sarcastically. You mind getting off me now?"

"Oh, sorry." I got off of him and we looked around. "Quite a mess we made huh?" I asked. There were pillows lying everywhere, knocked over cups and tables too. "Yep better get to work."

...

After we had finished cleaning up we started on our project. And we busily got to work. I had fun though. When Natsu was gluing a piece onto the amusement park, glue skirted all over his hands and arms. Don't even ask me how. "Lucyyyy, can you help me get this off? he pleaded. It was quite some work but we finally got it off. We were laughing basically the whole time, Natsu and me telling each other some of the funny things we once did when we were little. And some of our funniest school experiences.

Natsu had told me that once when he was in elementary school, this boy had pushed him off the swing and he started crying. But the funniest part is is that he cried the whole rest of the day, till his mom had him picked him up and took him out for ice cream.

"So basically, you were a momma's boy?" He blushed at the comment. "Shut up." he muttered. "Aww, that's so cute!" I reached over and pinched his cheeks. "S-Stop it! I'm not a baby!" A deeper tint of pink appearing on his cheeks, matching the color of his hair. He really did look cute like that. I chuckled to myself. "What are you laughing at? he said with his arms crossed pouting.

And after that, we just continued to talk about random things.

...

"Phew! We finally got something done!" exclaimed Natsu. "Yeah" I said tossing my head back and rubbing some sweat off my forehead."

"By the way, you look good today,Lucy!" Natsu said with a big grin on his face.

I blushed,"W-Where did that come from?!"I stammered "No where, just felt like saying it."

I face palmed. Natsu Dragneel, the most oblivious man alive.

"Hey Lucy, mind if we go somewhere?" I looked at him confused "Uh, yeah?"

"Okay! Lettttts go! He took my hand and dragged me out the door. "So, where are we going?

"That's a secret."

I looked around. "But it's already nighttime." I tried to reason. "That's the fun of it. Just wait till we get there." He replied.

"Okay..."

We walked a few more blocks and then he told me to close my eyes. I hesitantly closed my eyes but I knew I could trust him, so I felt at ease. I had just noticed but his hands felt so warm in mines...

We started walking through some trees and bushes. Wait, this seems familiar...

"Okay, open your eyes."

I opened my eyes and was awestruck. The scenery was so beautiful... Then I looked up at Natsu. "Seriously? You take me to the same spot I took you to? And you were peeking! I told you to close your eyes when I bought you here!"

"Calm down,Lucy!" he exclaimed "It was worth it right?" Then he pointed ahead at the twinkling lights of the city. I had never been here before at night and it looked... breathtaking. But I feel that the view was even better because Natsu was here with me.

"Yeah, it was worth it." A smile spread across my lips. Then I looked up at Natsu and I could see the light twinkling over his face. He looked so peaceful.

We stood there for a few more minutes in a comfortable silence.

"I'm sorry Lucy."

I looked over at Natsu. "For what?"

"For...what I did yesterday."

"Oh." Was all I managed to get out.

" I'm really ashamed of myself. For doing that to a girl. For doing that to you. I really didn't know what was wrong with me."

We stared ahead in silence a bit longer.

"Yesterday I was doing some thinking and I've finally figured out that your a...special person to me.

He looked at me and gave me a gentle smile. I felt a few tears come out my eyes. I was so happy.

"Natsu..."

He faced me and wiped the tears off my face." And I never want to do anything to hurt you again. But... my head is still a bit jumbled right now, so I really don't know what I want you to be to me right now.

I saw a blush on his face, and he scratched the back of his head. "...If you know what I mean by that. But I really am sorry, Lucy and I won't do it again, unless you give me permission to."

I lightly chuckled.

I closed my eyes and rested my head on his shoulder. A light smile grazing my lips.

"I forgive you." I whispered

Natsu leaned his head on mine and for the rest of the night we sat and watched the city lights.
