Love Starts in the Opposite Direction

Chapter 11

I stood there stunned as I looked into Loki's eyes. I have never seen him looked so serious before.

"Okay Loki… what is it?" I tried to ask, looking calm though his eyes were not helping me.

He said something but more like he was mumbling under his breath which I couldn't hear as he faced down, his hand still on my wrist.

"Sorry Loki but I can't hear you."

He looked up at me this time and grabbed my shoulders.

"Lucy, I like you."

Oh my god, my heart is beating ever so fast as Loki confessed to me. What am I supposed to do? Oh yeah, I feel like smacking myself in the head because everyone in the office doesn't know I'm attached, hell, even married!

I don't know what words to say to him. It is as if the words were stuck at my throat that nothing was coming out from my mouth.

"I'm sorry Loki. But…" I looked down as I was afraid of hurting him. Of course I got no such feelings towards him like he does for me but still I treated him more than a colleague, a friend to be précised.

"Why aren't you giving me a chance?" Loki let go of my shoulders as he clenched his fists to the side.

"Because I'm…"

Wait hold up. I can't tell him I'm married. I don't even have a ring on my finger and furthermore everyone's gonna know if I do tell him and everyone's gonna ask who. I seriously need to have a talk with Natsu about our relationship. Things were already so complicated keeping my marriage life hidden with Natsu so I do not want to make it any more complicated.

"…attached!"

Loki blinked his eyes a few times before he spoke.

"Since when?"

"Yesterday! That is why my mood is so cheerio." I faked smile at him and tried to look as convinced as I could hoping that he will give up.

"Who's the guy? I didn't know you were seeing anyone." Damn, guys and their bloody curiosity.

"Erm, someone I met and yeah we're dating now." Loki now had his arms folded as he raised an eyebrow at me.

"Can I see how he looked like?"

"Erm, we have yet to take a photo together." Please dear gods, make my acting work this time.

"Right…" Loki walked passed me and paused at the entrance of the pantry. "I will continue to like you and I will not give up Lucy. Well, if I do see you with your boyfriend then I guess that's a whole different answer." Loki said as he looked at me over his shoulders before he gave a wink and walked out.

I took a sit and rested my face in my palms as I tried to recall the event that happened earlier on. Was I'm not convincing enough? I didn't notice that Loki harbor such feelings towards me before. Was I that dense for not realizing? Then it all hit me. I was concentrating too much on Natsu.

Oh no, I cannot let Natsu find out but how am I supposed to show Loki that I do really have a partner. I just messed up my hair in exasperation as all these thoughts came pouring down on me.

"Lucy! What the hell are you doing, laying your butt off here?" I snapped my head back upright and saw Ezra standing at the doorway. Oh shit, my supervisor! "Get back to work. It's nearing tea break already."

What the hell?! I looked down at my watch and it's almost 10am! I've been here for almost an hour already. I quickly stood up, grab my coffee and head back to my desk. Oh lord, I forgot Loki sits next to me. This is going to be so awkward.

The whole day at work was really tense. Usually, I'll be happily chatting with Loki as we do our work but today was a whole lot different after what happened this morning. Even Juvia and Levy realized as they were skyping me being curious and all.

So for lunch, I decided to avoid all of them and went to take a nap at the back of the office building where I met Loki for the first time. This is difficult, I really want to tell Natsu what's going on but I don't know how he will react. I raise my left hand to the sky as I remembered what happened earlier. I told Loki I was attached but how was I going to prove to him. Mama, I'm married to Natsu but it doesn't feel like it. How I wish you're with me right now.

Finally work has ended for the day and Natsu texted me earlier that he will pick me up where he dropped me off this morning. I slowly took my time to walk there as I was figuring out on how to bring up the situation to Natsu later.

I didn't even know I was already at our meeting spot that Natsu had to horn at me. I looked to my left and I saw he winded the window down.

"You're coming in?"

I didn't acknowledge in any form on communication instead I quickly got into the car. I was in such a daze that I was overwhelmed when Natsu swooped down for a kiss to my lips. His kiss was so hypnotizing. I feel all my worries were swept away and the world only concerns of me and him.

"Hi baby, I missed you." Natsu broke the kiss and gave me a wink.

"Oh god, don't be cheesy Natsu." I said as I slapped his shoulder.

He just laughed as he brought his hands back to the wheel and drive off.

"So I was thinking we buy some food back home so we can get started to shift your things once we're done."

I was so intrigued that he really did remember his promise to help me tonight.

"Really? You sure you don't want me to cook? After all someone did say he enjoyed my cooking very much." I was actually flattering myself.

"Yes Luce but now tonight, it's going to take ages clearing my room to shift your things to my room." He said as he emphasized on the word ages.

"OH, I'm glad you finally realized how messy your room is."

He just pouted and I couldn't help but to smile and I rested my face against my knuckles. We went for a drive thru where we gotten Macdonalds for dinner today. After buying our dinner, we made our way for home and decided to eat first before we got started.

Natsu had to settle some work so when I was done eating, I decided to start clearing up his room. My hair was bun up messily and I wore my apron as well. I opened his cupboard and it was in a mess. I couldn't help but to let out a big sigh because I didn't know where to start.

I took one good look around his room and the first thing I noticed that there was no dresser. That got me wondering on why he doesn't have one but my room has one. I think I need to discuss this with Natsu, hopefully he's alright with moving it into his room since he was the one who wanted me to move my things in.

I took out all of his clothes and placed them on his bed. I think I better start by folding those clothes that does not required to be hanged. I was almost done with arranging his pile of clothes when Natsu came walking in.

"Yeah Mira, I'll settle the proposition once I come into the office tomorrow." I couldn't help but to look at Natsu. He is really so mature and manly when it comes to work. That just makes him so sexy, now I know why the girls at work think he so hot.

"Yeah alright, bye." Natsu ended his call and looked at me. "Sorry Luce, I had something to settle." He ended with giving out a big sigh as he raked through his hair.

"It's alright." I replied with a smile. "Anyways, I'm done with your clothes and it seems that your wardrobe actually DOES have a lot of space but it seems like someone can't keep it neat and tidy." I stood up and showed him the work I've done so far to his wardrobe.

Natsu came towards me and wrapped his hands around my waist. "I know baby, but I have a wife now to take care of me and I really appreciate it." He smiled after praising me.

I couldn't help but to blush and look away. Natsu grabbed my chin to pull me in for a kiss. After giving me a long peck on my lips, I pushed against his chest to break it.

"Alright Natsu, we're not done yet. We still got lots of things to clear up and we still have work tomorrow. Anyway is it alright we can bring my dresser here? I do really need it."

"Sure Luce. Oh yeah, how's work? I never really got to ask you that question."

Oh shit, me and my big mouth.
