10. UNBELIEVABLE
"S..S…Sorry Sir, I didn't intend to, I didn't know about your allergy. Minerva said it's your favorite so I…" she said big tears rolling down her cheeks.
"What Minerva! A..A..ACHOOO. Let me ask her" said Natsu little furious.
"Minerva how can…ACHOOO you be are so ACHOO careless"
"What happened ND? Why are you sneezing?"
"W..Why A…A…A didn't you tell Lucy about my peanut butter allergy ACHOOO"
"WHAT she gave it to you, that cunt. Why would I miss such an important point I m your PA and I care for you…I specifically told her about your allergy and to avoid peanut butter completely, but that time she gave a weird smile I knew she was up to something." said Minerva shinning sly smile. "Let her be… you have a cup of hot chocolate or your favorite fiery tea or better have an anti-allergic med take some rest and you will be perfect like ever"
"Hmm" replied Natsu glaring at Lucy.
Lucy knew she was in trouble Natsu will dice her, mince her and will feed her to hungry lions.
"Go get Gray," he said in a calm but threatening voice.
"So..sorry, Sir"
"Get Lost"
"S...Sir"
"Can't you Listen, GET LOST" he shouted on top of his voice scaring Lucy to the roots.
More tears rolled down and she ran to get Gray. Meanwhile, Natsu ordered fiery tea.
"What happen Natsu, why you called, what happened to Lucy why is she crying?"
Natsu was writing something and handed it over to Gray. It read-
'I will not be there while signing the deal you take care of it. Supervise that blond fool and don't let her mess today's photo shoot'
Gray gawked at Natsu who just sneezed some more and pointed towards the bread with the peanut butter.
"SHE GAVE YOU THAT! Are you alright? We can cancel the deal."
"No need… do as I said" "A..A..Achoo"
"You are fine with it," asked Gray and Natsu just looked away. Gray sighed and left.
"Lucy we have to stick to the course but without Natsu"
"WAAAAN…it's all my fault but I didn't know about his allergy" she started crying harder.
"Stop crying he will be alright and moreover we don't want a whining model, right." he mocked. "Go wash your face and come, your beautiful eyes started to swell"
"You want me to touch this sweet face a bit more, right. No Problemo!" Loki mocked and winked too.
"Why?" Lucy asked sweetly beneath her tears.
"I am your beautician right… I will have to fix a swell face"
Lucy forced a smiled and went to wash her face.
"Where is Mr. Dragneel… Mr. Gray, I don't see him"
"Sir actually a problem arose… he is unwell so I m in charge of this deal now"
"OK then…nothing can be done I guess. Ok…hmm..yeah. So, Mr. Gray, we have decided to shoot at 5 different locations for those 5 different winter wears. Are you cool with it?"
"Yeah…totally fine." he smiled.
"Perfect! Let's go then"
Lucy P.O.V-
Why is Minerva doing this to me? What have I done to her? Why she hates me…why she has a big contribution to my destruction. Why is she worsening my situation? Natsu is going to hate me more.
I wanted him to be there for my very first photo shoot but he is not.
But I should be extremely careful not to mess the photo shoot or he is going to throw me out of this office and even Gray cannot help. Maybe if this shoot ends smoothly he will see me in a new light.
"You look damn sexy in wet clothes…I wonder what would you look without clothes"
"Why r u not sleeping…do you want the bed…I am neither giving it up nor sharing"
Yesterday was pretty good… he saved me from Siegrain, we spent the night pretty well. Yesterday was mysteriously good. (smiles)
Even morning started pretty well,
"Are you searching for this childish panty. Do you really wear stuffs like that?" she blushed with a mixed feeling of happiness and embarrassment.
"Lucy are you ready come out next shoot will start within 10 minutes," said Loki knocking on the bathroom door.
For the magenta color sweater, they were shooting in her room (not 108 but 109). She had to pair it up with shredded light blue jeans. Second, they want to shoot for the orange sweater for which they went to a park and before a tree where leaves were falling some shots were taken. Lucy went with Gray and Loki in her vanity van, a temporary one of course. She matched it up with denim shots. Then they went to a swimming pool for shooting for the American striped sweatshirt. They went to a mall having a snow world for shooting for the Christmas overcoat, with some ice-cream and some ice balls adding up the energy and fun… ice skating was improvised too. It took her some time to shoot for it coz it was her first experience. Lucy was enthralled but with a bit of guilt in her mind. For the illusion one, the last one, they went for shopping in the mall… no, actually it was an impression. She shot with some shopping bags in hand. Finally, they were back in the hotel.
"Let's sign the deal Mr. Gray and we would be glad to ask for some more unique designs from you. These designs were fabulous and Miss. Lucy was really perfect. She did a great job her posters will be up by 1st of Jan, her poster will blast through the New Year"
"Thank You, Sir, m honored. I would happily create some designs for you" smiled Gray.
They signed the deal and shook hands confirming their future expedition.
It was already been over 5 hours when they arrived. Natsu was already up and was feeling better (from inside but not in his head).
Natsu P.O.V-
You didn't do it right, Lucy..you didn't. You tried to play with me…with Natsu Dragneel… you have to pay for it I will see to it. For the first time in my career, I was not there to sign a deal all coz of you. Why would you do that?
"Oh right… I was being nice to her so she must have thought that Natsu is not a field of concern anything…she can play her cheap tricks" he said grinding her teeth.
Then something struck him,
"I regret why I fell in love with you"
"You regret right, be ready to regret as hell, Lucy Heartfilia," he said glaring.
At this time Minerva called.
"That's it! I have got the key to show you your right place…now what will you do, Heartfilia" he smirked.
All three of them (Gray, Lucy, Loki) went to meet Natsu,
"You are up already! How are you feeling now?" asked Gray bit surprised.
"I am good in fact… Perfect. But a situation crawled up for you and Loki"
"What happen?" asked Loki.
"Actually Lyon waltz into ND Fashion House, he finally agreed to do the shoot"
"WHAT?"
"Yup and he is waiting for you both to show up. You were designing his shoot robes, right, and you know, he is not someone to wait and a very moody person. Minerva called 10 min before so you should hurry up"
"Ok…but what about u and Lucy…you are not coming"
"We don't need to show up…we will check out as decided. You can take a taxi. Don't worry about Lucy I will drop her"
"But why to take a taxi we can go together"
"Do as I say, Got it?"
"Ok," said Gray with a suspicious look and zooming out with Loki following him.
In room 109-
When they were packing their bags,
"I think Natsu is up to something, I can see it. He is acting all weird… I doubt if Lucy is in safe hands. They are like rivals… always at each other's neck and after what happened in the morning, he is not going to spare her…I am a bit worried for her" frowned Gray.
"Yeah… me too. But we can't rule him out and btw what worst could happen. He will scold her, bully her with his words... that's it. You are worrying for nothing"
"I hope"
They left for ND Fashion House in a jiffy.
At 6 'o' clock-
"Lucy, go pack your belongings we will leave at 7 'o' clock," said Natsu.
"OK," said confused Lucy.
'He is acting all normal what's the matter. He was very angry at that time…is it not the silence before destruction. Oh, God! Please save me' she thought all puzzled and went to pack her bags.
"Maybe he doesn't hold grudges for that long, maybe he is totally fine now and doesn't want to stretch the matter any further. I don't know whats the matter is but we will be alone the whole trip. Yuhoo" she chirped happily.
"Are you ready Lucy it's time to check out?"
"Yeah…I am"
"Ok then let's go"
At the parking-
Lucy was waiting with her luggage for Natsu to come and receive her, Natsu's car arrived, Lucy was about to open the rear door when car'ss front door window glided down,
"Arey…you are still here? You don't want to go home or what? I think you are in love with his hotel" he mocked.
"Huhh we were supposed to go together, right?" asked perplexed Lucy.
"Who said! I never said that we are going along. I planned this the whole time, I was very disturbed when you tricked me thinking of ways to show you what is... Natsu Dragneel, is when Minerva called and a ploy popped into my head. I knew if Gray and Loki were there they would never let me do something to you so I send them... and btw…I would never take YOU with me. So, Miss Lucy Heartfilia…GOOD BYE…See you tomorrow"
"Then how m going to…"
"That's your business. You should have thought that before you played that cheap trick. Now, redeem…m off" he said smugly and drove away.
"Heyyy STOP…Nat…." she shrieked before falling down on her knees and sobbing.
He can still see the image of Lucy in his mirror…
"Good for you" smiling smugly he vanished out of her sight.
"What a creep leaving me behind just like that. Didn't even thought how m going to go back. Just for his pity revenge …but I didn't do it intentionally. He could have done that in any other way but this" she said all tearing up.
"What m going to do now…(sniff) (sniff)" she started to snivel, grabbing her head in despair. "I could call levy she would come and get me," she said hope in her eyes.
She searched her bag and realized she forgot her phone at her house and was out of money too.
"Oh no! Now what?" she said squatting down and pressing her face over her hands.
She felt something furry brush by her with horror she fell back to find it was nothing other than a cute white cat.
"Oh little, fella! You are also by yourself, devastated and in full stress, away from home and missing your mom or are you lost. M no different… I can feel your pain, not like others who just take people as objects like…like dolls who won't feel the pain however you treat them and if they do it's not of their concern. They can play with their feelings however they like" she said fondling the furry animal.
"Charla… Charla…where are you? Oh you naughty girl so you are here." a girl with long blue hairs emerged. "Thanks for holding my baby girl" she chirped grabbing Lucy's hands tightly.
"Oh it's not a big deal btw it was not me... she ran into me and who won't coddle such a pretty cat," said Lucy wiping her tears and forcing a smile.
"Hey, what happen…. were you crying? Tell me if there's a problem I will be at your service to compensate what you have done for me"
"It's not a big deal…m fine"
"I don't think so…just tell me nah…problems should be shared"
"I m stranded neither a means to contact nor to go back home. M left with very less money…so" she started to snuffle.
"Uff that's it…no more crying I have my car I will drop you. Tell me your location" said Wendy sweetly,
"What!" muttered Lucy, astonished.
"Yeah… now tell me"
"I live in Magnolia"
"Seriously"
"What is it far away?" panicked Lucy
"No, m going there. I live in Magnolia too" with this both grinned.
"BTW what's your name?"
"I am Wendy…and ur"
"I am Lucy…Lucy Heartfilia"
"Nyc…wait here let me bring my car" "Come on Charla"
"Hop on"
Lucy nodded and shrunk inside keeping her bags in the boot space.
Road Trip –
"I kind of feel like as I have seen you before but where, m not sure about it maybe…"
"You must have seen me in Magnolia while taking a ride he he hee hee," Lucy said awkwardly, cutting her mid-off sentence.
"Yeah maybe," said Wendy, confused.
"Ok… may I ask why you were in Hargeon, did you had any companion or was alone touring?"
"You sure do ask a lot of question…"
"Heh," Wendy giggled.
"I came here in case of work with my 3 colleagues among them 1 is my boss. He is a demon the most heartless person I have ever seen without giving a thought how m going to go back... left me alone under the black sky. Thank God you came to my rescue"
"Hehh…but how can there be such a rude person. If you don't mind I will bother you with another question?"
"Okay go on"
"Things don't go well between you two?…I mean you are not in unison, I guess, your opinions vary"
"We can say that," said somber Lucy.
"Ok… no more questions and btw we entered Magnolia just now. Guide the way to your house"
Outside Lucy's House-
"This one," said Lucy pointing.
The car stopped.
"Thank you so much for dropping me…m at your debt…reach out for me when you need my help I will help you out"
"What's this Lucy san don't take me as a stranger…we are friends now…right?" said Wendy with Goofy eyes.
"Yup... but still"
"No buts… friends don't do favors or return it they take it as a token of love"
"Ok ok… got it miss blue hair" both laughed.
"I hope to meet you soon"
"Me too"
"Ok then… see ya"
"See yaa... bye"
Wendy drove away…when Lucy was about to enter her house Levy tapped her,
"Where were you?"
"Lev…"
"Why are you coming this late?"
"Actually I was…"
"Why didn't you call me?"
"I didn't coz…"
"Why didn't you pick my calls"
"I was not…"
"Who drop you?"
"Uff ho Levy-chan take a deep breath…will you? Asking so many questions in one go as if your train is leaving" she giggled. "I will tell you in detail"
"Lu-chan a typewriter came for you…with a stack of papers"
"Typewriter for me…are you sure it's not the wrong address"
"No, a driver came and said it was for you"
"Driver? Whose driver?"
"No idea…he gave it and vanished" Lucy shrugged with this.
Lucy's Room-
Lucy went and checked her phone before anything and typewriter mystery was solved…a message was there by the name Natsu Dragneel. It said-
"I hope you reached home…m sending a typewriter with some documents…I want you to type the documents all over again. Come and give the typed documents to me at 7 'o' clock sharp at my house. Below the address-
X777-Dragons Palace, Magnolia"
1 hour before-
Natsu P.O.V-
"She must have hired a taxi by now or is she…"
"Why do I care…she is not a baby she can take care of herself" he shrugged.
"If she is still waiting for me to go back…nah…why…why didn't I suggested her to take a taxi…"
"This was what I wanted so why can't I sit back and enjoy"
Natsu drove away but couldn't able to get over Lucy's distress face. Her tears started to bite him and he felt miserable to have done something this harsh. He fought between his ego, which was stopping him to show up in front of her after stranding her... and his guilt, which took his peace away. After constantly thinking about Lucy and her condition he couldn't help but put on reverse gear.
"Shit…" he said slapping the steering and riding back to find her.
But to his shock she was not there.
"Where did she go? Oh no what have I done…now where to find her" he said, worried.
After interrogating with the hotel staffs and some visitors he finally found out that she went with a girl, with this news finally his heart was at ease (wink).
"NATSU DRAGNEELLLLLLL…despicable …jerk…creep…dork…flame brain….aargh…humph…if I get a chance to kill somebody it will be you, DRAGNEEELL"
"What happen Lu-chan?"
"See this," said Lucy handing her phone.
"He didn't drive me home…left me alone in an unknown place so far away from home and now stuffing me with such a huge pile of documents to type. M I not tired?….Insensitive…cold- hearted" he cursed him throwing her fists in the air.
"Seriously, I didn't expect him to do something like this…what's with him…why he can't leave you alone" Levy muttered angrily.
"God knows… I am still figuring out what really could be the reason for him to hate me….I don't deserve to be hated just coz m a waitress"
"But it's not the time for you to think…it's time to work….it's already 9 'o' clock you have to hurry up if you really want to hand over the assignment to him by 7 'o' clock"
"Yeah…why I left 'Fairies on loose' and choose this hell…I regret this decision of mine"
"It's still not late... smack your resignation across that asshole's face and join us" Levy beamed.
"I can do that Levy-chan but that's what he wants…and I don't want to feed his pity pride" Lucy scowled. "Okay Levy-chan we will chat tomorrow you go and sleep…m going to take a hot shower and then will do the assignment"
"No Lu-chan I will help you with that and I have cooked dinner…let's have a bite first and then work"
Lucy quickly soaked herself joined by her squishy Plue and then LULE pair had their sumptuous meal and went to work. The typewriter was kind of old some keys needed extra efforts to type…
"He is the biggest tycoon…so rich but can't afford a good typewriter…huh"
It took around 5 hours to complete and finally, they went to sleep.
Next Day –
She woke up at 6 'o' clock wrapped up her regular routine… wore a pink samset top paired it with ankle length distress jeans topping that with her strawberry fragrant perfume and a slight makeup admired herself in front of the mirror,
"Now have to go to that freak's house…. Btw, what it will be like to visit the business tycoon's villa…and what's with this quirky name Dragon Palace…whatever"
She said and went to find it…somehow she reached there…after consulting the guards at the main gate she finally entered,
It was a luxurious bungalow with a wide and beautiful yard covered with colorful flowers and a dragon shaped fountain in the middle.
"WOW…such a pretty house," said Lucy all mesmerized. "I guess Dragneel has some serious liking towards Dragons" she chuckled.
She reached the door and rang the bell… the person who opened the door flabbergasted Lucy…she was none other than, Wendy…
"W..W...Wendy?"
"Lucy?"
"This is your house…I think I miscalculated…"
"Why, whom do you expect?"
"Natsu Dragneel"
"Then it's not a miscalculation…m her sister Wendy Dragneel"
"WHAT!"
