We were back upstairs in my room after lunch taping up the last box of dresses and Natsu took it down to the waiting car that would depart as soon as that last box was safely put on it. Shortly after Natsu left the room Virgo walked in.
"Princess, your father would like to have you and your fiancé for dinner tonight, to apologize for having a meeting. Dinner will be at six." Virgo said with a bow.
"Okay, thanks Virgo." I said, slightly disappointed that I would have to speak with my father tonight.
"No problem Princess." She said waving and disappearing out the door.
With a sigh I sat down on my bed. I started replaying the events of the last week in my mind. I'm now engaged, to Natsu Dragneel, famous dragon slayer. I will be moving in with him tomorrow. I have to have dinner with my father which will likely be less than pleasant. I had closed my eyes and was rubbing my temples, to fend off an upcoming headache, when a weight settled in beside me, and I felt a warm arm wrap around my shoulders.
"What's wrong?" I heard Natsu say in his signature cheery voice.
"Nothing, I just have a slight headache." I said as I continued to rub my forehead. "Oh, and my father would like to have dinner with us."
"Okay, when?" Natsu said.
"Six."
"Okay good, that's plenty of time for me to give you a massage." He said, a sinister grin adorning his face.
I blushed as he slowly pushed me on to my stomach so he could massage my back. I will be the first to admit that I didn't think he would be able to actually give me a decent massage, but I will have you know that it was almost better than the professional I go to when I'm especially stressed. I quickly fell asleep as he rubbed between my shoulder blades.
"Hey, hey Luce. Wake up sleepy head." I heard a quiet voice say as I blinked open my eyes from my nap.
I yawned as I stretched. "How long was I asleep?" I said in a sleepy voice.
"About three hours." Natsu said as I sat up and rubbed my eyes and looked at the clock to see the time was 4:30.
"Did anything happen while I was asleep?" I asked sleepily.
"I just went down and visited with Bob and Virgo. You've got some interesting people on your staff Luce." Natsu said. "But they kicked me out because they had to start dinner."
I yawned once again and blinked a couple more times in order to clear up the blur of sleep from my eyes. "So tomorrow all we have to pack is my dresser, my vanity and my bed and we are all set to go right?" I said as I looked up at him.
"Yep, I believe so." he said looking down at me.
It was quiet for a moment as we just stared at each other, so I broke the silence by saying "So, do you want to go down to the game room? I bet I could beat you in a game of ping pong." I said confidently.
"You're on, and you're going down." He said with a cocky grin as he jumped up in the air. "I'm all fired up now." He said starting out the door. I caught up to him at the top of the stairs, and he grabbed my hand as we started down them. At the bottom I started to lead him to the game room down the hall.
"I don't come down here very often." The only person I ever play games with is Loke, and he's way to competitive. Aries gets upset when she loses and when she wins. Virgo always wants punished when she loses, and when she wins, and Cancer just isn't the game playing type, and Aquarius would likely kill me if she lost so that's a no as well.
"I hope you don't mind loosing, cause it's about to become the only thing you know." Natsu said confidently.
"Who do you think you are? The ping pong champ or something." I said throwing a little trash talk his way.
"You will see." He said as I opened the doors and turned on the lights.
I walked over to the ping pong table and grabbed two paddles and a ball, handing one of the paddles to Natsu I said, "Okay, I suppose you know the general rules of ping pong. No double bouncing and if it goes off the table it's other players point. Are you ready to lose?"
"In your dreams." He replied.
Okay, so I lost. By a lot. And Natsu was way too happy about that.
"What did I tell you Luce. I'm just that good." Natsu smiled bumptiously.
I rolled my eyes, "Oh whatever. I didn't do that bad."
"What was the final score?" he said in a mocking tone.
"I don't know, like 3 to 34." I mumbled. I cleared my throat as Natsu laughed at me. "We should start on our way to dinner. It's almost six." I said as I started towards the door.
"Okay. I think I deserve a kiss for winning though. Don't you think Luce?" Natsu said leaning towards me with his lips puckered.
"Nope. You weren't a gentleman. You didn't let the poor young lady win." I said turning up my nose at him, and getting a slight bit of satisfaction from the unbelieving look he gave me.
"That's no fair." Natsu said with a childish pout on his face that suited him.
"All is fair in love and war. Now come on we need to get going or we will be late for dinner." I said as I started walking down the hall not waiting for him to follow.
"Well then, is this love or is this war, Luce?" Natsu said grabbing my hand in his and walking up beside me.
Phantasma: Hi guys! This is a really short chapter and I'm sorry. I was going to update yesterday but I got home late and I was pumped to finish this chapter and post it, and then I looked at the time and was like ok, if I have a new positive review I will update, and long story short I didn't have any reviews and it made me sad and so I didn't update. But here is the latest chapter of Lucy, my love. I was going to make it longer but this was a good cliffhanger so I left it. Anyways, as always, please review.
