XI. Then Marry Me and Date Him
PS: So clarifications, Lucy's ankle was already okay after she got home. It wasn't all that serious. Thank you for asking ThePartyHasEntered..
"DAD!" Lucy exclaimed as she slammed the door open.
Her dad's room was already full of people which she seems to remember.
The nurse who called her was also there with eyes that show pity for the blonde.
"What happened Lilia (the nurse's name)?" asked Lucy.
"Yoshimura-san told me to call you" said the nurse who was guilty for lying to her on the phone.
-"How's my dad? He didn't have a heart attack?"
-"No but there's something Yoshimura-san would like to tell you" the nurse exited from the room.
"My…my Lucy" said an old man who was plump in figure, with a funny moustache, and quiet a perverted smile.
"You've sure grown well" he added.
"Yoshimura-san, why are you here?" asked Lucy whose eyebrows crossed.
"I came here to tell your dad that he owes this hospital, my hospital almost $90,000" he gave off an even bigger grin.
"I—I will pay you later! Here's the money!" said Lucy as she grabbed the envelopes of checks from her bag.
"How much is that?" asked the old man as he cocked an eyebrow.
"It's still about $10,000 but I will pay you soon" cried Lucy whose eyes were very determined.
"About? Not exact? Oh no no! This should not be Lucy-chan" stated the old man.
Yoshimura bolted from his seat and looked at the blonde.
"How about this Lucy, you marry me and I will forget the debt of your father" exclaimed the old man as his perverted grin shown on his smug face.
Lucy was nervous. She knew she can't pay him so soon. With her pay from Natsu's and other part-time jobs, it was impossible to do so. Fairy Senior High was a high-class institution and she wasn't a scholar. The blonde nodded her head as she realizes the trap. She might as well just fall into this.
"I will think about it" she said with grief in her voice.
"I'll give you 15 days till then. Come to my mansion, there will be a party thrown for your sweetest yes" he said as he leaved the miserable Lucy with her father. He was so sure—he had Lucy.
Lucy was brought down crying to her knees. She could not believe it. Will she go through it or not? She wiped off the tears from her eyes and went to see her father closer. She sat down beside him. Lucy saw how sick her father was, she nodded in sadness.
Back in Clive Complex, the concert just ended and everyone was beat.
"Hey Lucy, can you—" Natsu then realized that she left a while ago.
"Hey Natsu! You miss her already?" asked Gray with a grin.
"Shut up! I just thought she was here"
"Yeah, where is she by the way?" asked Loke.
"She ran out on Natsu-nii" stated Romeo.
"She just had somewhere she had to go" Natsu explained to them.
Suddenly, Lisanna came in with another drink for Natsu.
"Here you go Natsu!" stated Lisanna with a smile.
Natsu thanked her with a big goofy grin. Gray, who watched closely at the two, noticed something. He took Natsu for a little talk outside.
"Heavy atmosphere" said the other members in unison.
While outside,
-"Natsu, when will you plan on exiting?"
-"What do you mean?"
-"You know what I mean"
-"That? Well, I don't know yet"
-"Be careful pinky, she's taking you seriously" warned Gray as they went back in.
"Oh good! No wounds or bruises today huh?" asked Jellal sarcastically.
Natsu grabbed Lisanna's arm as he sends her home. On the car, there was an awkward silence as Natsu puts his arms crossed and constantly looks outside the car.
"Uhm, you okay Natsu?" asked Lisanna.
"Yeah, just thinking" he replied.
They were nearing the shore when Natsu saw a very familiar blonde down by the seashore.
"Hey! Stop the car!" he demanded as he opened the door.
"Wait Natsu!" Lisanna exclaimed.
Natsu knew it was Lucy from the distant. The moonlight lit up her face. Natsu saw her semi-side view as she strolls down the sandy shore.
"HEY ORANGE JUICE! ORANGE JUICE!" he yelled.
Lucy looked up to see Natsu waving at her. She returned the gesture with a wave of her hand as well.
"NASTU!" she smiled as the grief shortly went away.
Lucy went running up to see her boss. A very beautiful silver-haired young lady also was there to welcome her from behind Natsu.
"Hey Lucy!" greeted Lisanna.
"Oh, hey Lisanna!" she greeted back.
"You goin' home?" asked Natsu.
"Yeah"
"Let me take you home then" said Natsu as he led her to his car.
"It's okay Natsu, I don't want to disturb the two of you on this beautiful night" said Lucy with a silly smile.
"C'mon! I insist!" said Natsu as he grabbed Lucy's hand.
"Bu—but!" Lucy protested.
Lisanna was left behind the two as they went inside the car. Lisanna just smiled to the thought as she went inside the car as well. She wasn't a very jealous-type of girl.
"So, Lucy, where did you go just now?" asked Lisanna.
"Uhm. Somewhere" Lucy said bashfully.
The car then stopped in front of a very luxurious looking mansion. It was Lisanna's home. The silver-haired young lady bid goodbye to the two as she looked down on the car window.
"See you tomorrow Natsu!" she smiled.
"Also you Lucy!" she added as she went straight to the gates.
Afterwards, Lucy and Natsu were the only ones inside the car. It was a beautiful night. The night was still too young. Suddenly, Natsu spoke to Lucy,
"Why don't we go on a date orange juice?"
"da—date ?" Lucy blushed.
"I mean, let's eat somewhere. That's called a date, right?" asked Natsu innocently.
"Whatever Natsu. Okay, I'll go on a "date" with you" said Lucy with a smile.
