Chapter eleven.
I slowed down my palms were getting slippery and I found it harder to hold the shoe in my hand. Stopping by a bench outside a boutique shop I bent down to slip the white flat on my foot.
I exhaled quickly, shaking my head mentally. What's wrong with you Lucy? Why are you getting so paranoid?
I wasn't paranoid.
He's not going to show up and whisk you of your feet, if that's what you're expecting. He has a girlfriend didn't you hear Wendy, so why would he even spend a second of his day to take time out of his wonderful relationship and worry about you.
I could practically picture the little devil me conscious on my shoulder. I didn't like the evil me she made me feel weak and undesirable. The little Lucy dressed in red made me feel exactly like my father had, and I refused to be treated like that again.
I swiped a hand across my shoulders quickly, as if I was dusting them off. The sky was a pale blue and there weren't many clouds vividly seen.
A hand rested on my shoulder and I nearly jumped out of my skin. Pivoting on my toes sharply I turned to see the pink headed boy I was running away from behind me. His dark eyes shining with wonder, they were alluring.
"I remember you." His voice was low, but I heard him crystal clear. "I'm sorry I forgot about you." Why was he sorry I was just a mere fragment in his life after all?
I didn't move, my body was stiff still and just to make it worse I couldn't talk. Pun intended.
Natsu hand lowered of my shoulder and he turned towards the canals on our right side, well my right his left. As he looked at the water my eyes rested glued to him. I watched as he glanced at me from the corner of his eye probably thinking I hadn't seen.
Natsu lifted a hand and ran it through his hair before letting out a frustrated growl that made me back away. Everything about him said 'frustrated' his body was stiff, his eyes were dark, and his fists were clenched.
"You still can't speak can you?" His voice came out in a growl, and this time it wasn't his tone that made me stumble it was the question.
He had been paying that much attention to me he'd been able to pick out the fact that I still couldn't speak. I looked down towards my neck, there wasn't a dog tag hanging from it. So what gave it away? People don't take when there nervous around there possible crush and or obsession... right?
It happened to fast, I ran away specifically so I that he wouldn't now I hadn't regained the use of my vocal cords and yet here I was shaking my head in a yes. I mentally 'face palmed' myself, how could you be this stupid Lucy.
Your talking to yourself in third person Lucy, you're not stupid ...you need help.
With the debate going on in my head I failed to notice when Natsu handed me a red item. IT poking me in the ribs is what snapped me out of my little conversation with myself.
"Hmm?"
"Well I was thinking." He rubbed a hand in his hair shyly . "If you can't talk to me in person, how about we text each other."
His face shone with satisfaction. Like he had just won a national debate or had just beaten the toughest guild in magnolia. He looked as if he was pleased with himself for thinking up an idea no one else had.
I smiled before reaching into my pocket and extracting a pink cell phone we exchange cellular devices the echo of the buttons being the only sound exchanged between us at the moment. Natsu finished first and he dropped the arm holding my phone to his side.
His phone was confusing, messages kept popping up around the screen and it made me feel frustrated. He seemed to have realized what was happening because Natsu gently slipped the phone out of my grasp replacing it with mine.
I watched curiously as he fiddled with the phone. "There we go." He finally said a look of pride crossed his features. "What's your number?"
I replayed the number to him, and watched silently as he pressed a button corresponding to the number that I told him.
He slipped the phone into his back pocket, and untied his blue cat's leach from the pole on the bridge. "So where you heading to." He asked and using my new found way of communication I told him the address of a nearby cafe.
"Great!" He exclaimed. "Lisanna's house isn't too far away from there."
My sunk at the sound of the familiar name, it was his girlfriend. And even though I seemed to dislike her, I couldn't help but wonder what she was like.
"Do you ever feel uncertain?" Natsu asked, and I only looked at him. "I know this may sound wrong, but I feel uncertain about Lisanna."
My brow shot into the air so fast I felt a migraine coming on. I wasn't all that educated on relationships but one thing I knew was that they were build on trust. I stayed silent not knowing what exactly to say, he was telling me he was having second thoughts about his girlfriend.
And my angel conscious was cheering with glee, while the devil me was telling me to rip him a pair.
I looked to the sky and sighed. What would my mom say, she always knew the right thing to say... and in all the things I'd gotten from her I wished that had been one of them. I never knew the right thing to say, I always ended up saying to little ... or worse too much.
I pulled my phone out, I didn't know how to reply but I knew I had to say something. A hand overlapped mine and I looked up to see Natsu giving me a shy smile.
"It's okay you don't have to respond, it isn't even in my place to tell you all of this." I wanted to slap him but what would I say after that ... I was a total and complete stranger.
The tension in the air disappeared and soon Natsu was jumping in front of me. "Let's play twenty-one questions" he exclaimed his face reminding me of a three year old getting a lollipop.
'You start.' I sent him.
"How old are you?" Natsu face is set in a mask of wonder. "I realize I didn't ask this before, and I guess it's important now."
Why?
I held up both hands so that it there were ten fingers showing. Natsu counted them and I mentally face palmed myself. "Ten? " He said in a questioned tone and I nodded my head and then held up seven fingers.
"Seventeen" He said with wondered. "Eh, I'm a year older then you." There was a teasing smile plastered on his face and it made me feel nervous.
I rolled my eyes before fishing out my phone. ' why's your cat blue.' It was something I wanted to ask when I'd spot the cat on the bridge.
"I found Happy in the woods when I was younger." He said. "Brown fur didn't suit him well so I dyed it blue, and what do you know."
I stopped walking before I erupted into a fit of laughter. His cat was blue because he didn't think brown fur suited him well, oh come on you've got to find a little humour in that. When I had finally calmed down I straightened out to find Natsu glancing at me.
I raised my eyebrow and gave him a questioning look.
"You have a great laugh." He said simply. "One that makes people wants to laugh along with you. Don't lose that laugh."
I stared at him before smiling and giving him a quick nod.
"Why are you going to this coffee shop, why not mine?" He asked and I felt my palms getting sweaty. "I know you know where it is." He called me out.
I thought a moment, even thought I didn't I could have just flat out told him I was visiting Hibiki at work. That would have explained why I wasn't going to his cafe. I didn't decide against it as I typed my excuse into a blank box before sending it off.
I watched Natsu closely as many emotions crossed his face but the one I saw the most while he read the e-mail was hurt.
"So does that mean you have a boyfriend?" He asked and I couldn't help but smirk at his oh-so-obvious-jealousy.
'It's not your turn to ask the question.' I sent this with a smile on my face. He'd practically set himself up for that retort. "I set myself up for that answer." Natsu his voice filled with dread.
'Do you always talk to random people?' The game had practically just began and I was running out of questions to ask.
Natsu laughed after reading the questions. "No." He said his voice was amused. "Just the pretty ladies who offer to buy me lunch at cafes."
I nodded my head, before something sank it. I never offered him lunch. I texted the pink haired boy beside me this answer and all I received was another amused laugh. If the laugh hadn't been so alluring I would be pretty mad right now.
We went back and forth asking each other questions like, what's your favorite colour, where are you from, when's your birthday, dog or cat?
We reached the twenty-first questions just as we reached the street the cafe was situated on. Natsu face fell as we turned the block towards it but he said nothing in return.
"Last question." He said in a mono-tone voice and I nodded my head in reply.
He thought for a moment and we stopped in front of the shop. I turned to watch him thinking a hand was placed on his chin and his eyebrows were pulled together. Wrinkled formed in his forehead and I chuckled at how hard he was thinking.
"If I told you I loved you... what would you say?" He said his voice low enough for me only to hear. I
I was taken back and my heart started to race at the mention of three specific words. Was Natsu really deep in thought or had he been racking up the nerve to ask me the question. Did he fear my response right now; like I would have feared his if I had asked the question. He looked nervous, his nervousness was equally matched by the looks of eagerness.
Why was he eager for my response, he had a girlfriend. And I chuckled at the thought of her; just imaging it brought images to my head. Face book; relationship status: it's complicated.
I realized how wrong I was thinking and before I could snap myself out of the wishful think warm arms enveloped me. They pulled me in and my vision was blurred by grey fabric.
"Lucy" Hibiki exclaimed in my ear his arms tightening around me waist.
I struggled to release myself from his bear-hug and steel grip. I stopped when I realized that Natsu was still here. My head snapped around to his direction so fast you would have thought it would have fallen off. He was still standing there hands stuffed in pockets and curious eyes set on Hibiki.
"Who's he?" Hibiki's tone was serious and it was surprising to hear. I looked up to see his head cocked in the direction of Natsu. His eyes were narrowed and I thought of how strange it was that he was glaring at Natsu.
"Hibiki?" I said and instantly regretted it. Both boys looked at me and I felt uncomfortable under their gaze, seeing as both had about two heads on me. I was expecting him to let me go, but he did the complete opposite in tightening his grip on me.
"Why's his hair pink?" My friend's voice was filled with wonder and I couldn't help but wonder what was going through his head when he asked that question. I mean, what would he think when he saw the cat.
"What's with the cat?" It's like my mind was being read today.
Natsu eyebrows furrowed at the questions coming of Hibiki's mouth. Maybe it was just me but if I was in Natsu position those question would have been taking as insults.
Oh lord have mercy.
pov unknown:
''Is that her?" A voice behind me asked as he leaned over the back seat in the car.
I watched the blonde he was pointing at the one with an hourglass figure and silk blond hair that landed just past her shoulders. She was walking with a pink headed boy and I looked him over. If thinks got rough he wouldn't be that hard to handel.
"Yeah, that's her the girl who but my little brother in jail."
I'm going to do something cool today (or well I think it's cool) there was a little fact thing I put in here, and I don't know how many of you noticed it so let's test your attention skills. What do the colours of Natsu and Lucy's cell phones represent in the anime/manga. First person to answer correctly gets to help me decided something special between Lucy and Natsu.
