A/N: Here is chapter 12! Thanks for the wait! Read and enjoy! =)
BTW, you will see not just one A/N here~! =D ;D
The sun is shining in the sky.
It's another day to begin with.
People are busy; some were cleaning, fixing their stuffs, getting ready for work, eating breakfast, etc.
But above all that, there is this certain teenager that is still lazily sleeping in his room, specifically in his bed. With his mattress half fallen on the floor half covering his right leg, sleeping on his stomach, hair much messier than normal, and his face as solemn as a sleeping baby.
(-_-)-zzZ
Ordinary, you might say. But in a moment, all this kind of manifestation will change…
In a few…
*step**step*
Just a few…
*step**step*
A little bit more…
*blag!* *blag!* *blag!* -banging on the door.
"IF YOU HAVEN'T WALK OUT OF THIS ROOM IN TEN MINUTES, YOU WONT WALK FOR A LONG TIME NATSU DRAGNEEL!" shouted an authoritative voice. Well, she has authority anyway.
She cant believe that her son is as lazy as always. Typical Natsu
The male inside the room grunted. He was sleeping and dreaming… it's in the good part of the dream where he was about to kiss L-! (O_O) OH GOSH THAT WAS HIS MOM SHOUTING BEHIND THAT DOOR! And what did she say? He stood up abruptly not bothering the mattress at the moment that had totally fallen on the floor. He ran to the door, tripping in the said cloth and collide his knee on the side table.
"Ouch! That hurt!" he mumbles as he jump his way to the door.
That had totally wakened him up.
"Hey there Mom" he said as he open the door hiding his hurt expression—though his holding his left knee—to his Mom.
Grandine arch a single brow at his son.
Weirdo
"Good, you're awake." She started, shrugging off her son's weird behavior. "I thought I would have to punish you" –Natsu's eyes widen-she snickers at his son's expression "Oh well, you better get ready and go downstairs to eat, and we're opening the café early today." She said and smiles at her last words.
Natsu feel the excitement at that too. They will open early, meaning he'll see Lucy early too. He grinned. "Of course Ma! I'm all fired up!" he shouted. Grandine giggle at her Natsu's enthusiasm.
"Alright, go on now. Get ready, get ready" she said as she pushes Natsu to his bathroom door.
XxxxX
Natsu and his Mom Grandine are already at the café. They had finished their job in preparation of opening it. There are some of the employees that had come early too to help them for the preparation.
But… Natsu rested his chin on his palm, his arm on the table he was seating at the moment. Why isn't the one he's waiting since he came hadn't showed up. Is she going to be late? He sighed. It's not like he's in his self now that she's not yet here. Wait a minute; did Mom inform her about the early opening? Now that he thought about it. He was about to ask his mom when a ring distracted him signaling that there are customer or maybe… he faced the door and-
"Good morning, Natsu!" she greeted as she approach him.
"Good morning L-

L-Lissana" he managed to say as the female hurriedly hugs him. Thank god he manages to balance them both.
It was kinda unexpected and she's not what he was expecting.
"What's with the face ash brain?" Gray asks as he and the other member of the gang enter. Natsu looks at them, ignoring Gray…
"Good morning!" they said.
Grandine came in action.
"Good morning to you too guys! Have you eaten yet?" She asks.
"Noooo"
"Oh, come on, sit, and let me take your orders." Grandine gesture them to sit on the table.
"Okay!"
"What's with the early commotion?" Natsu then asks as he put down their last order which was Levy's. He seated in the closest chair afterward.
"We came here to help in the café!" Lissana answered cheerfully "I also want to try how to work on a café and wear their beautiful uniform!" she added as she looks at the other employees.
"Can we do that Grandine-san?" Mira asks Natsu's mother as she also has those glistening eyes same as she younger sister.
"Of course you can!" Grandine replied. "Come with me after you eat and we'll look for the fitted uniform for you at the backdoor."
"Yay!" the girl cheered. The guys didn't seem to care. Only the girls will enjoy this. Talking about B.O.R.E.D.O.M.
~x~
The day had pass by so fast that they didn't seem to notice.
Natsu's day is incomplete. For some reason, something is missing or is it someone. Wait, wait, wait, Lucy didn't show up this day. Because Lissana didn't let him be alone at once, he forgets the thing he has to do before they came. He scratches his head as he walk to the backdoor to where her mother is cleaning and preparing to go home. His friends had gone home few moments before.
"Mom," he started
"Hmm?"
"Why hadn't I seen Lucy?" he asks kinda shyly.
Grandine glance at her son. "Eh, didn't I tell you?" she asks puzzled
"Tell me what?"
"I had a phone conversation with Lucy this morning; she said she won't be able to come today because she's not feeling well. Now that you remind me about it, I'm worried."
(=_=)
"Mom, why didn't you tell me sooner?" Natsu whine and pouted ( -3-)
"E-he-he-he, gomen ne Natsu." she apologized "I know! You call her!" she then suggested pointing at the telephone in the table. Natsu's face lightens a bit.
"Okay!" he cheered and makes his way to the table. He started to dial Lucy's number.
Drrr-Drrr
Drrr-Drrr
Drrr-Drrr
He waited…
Hi! This is Lucy speaking. I'm busy at the moment; please leave your message after the beep.
*Beep*
"She's not answering" Natsu muttered "I'll try again."
Drrr-Drrr
Drrr-Drrr
Drrr-Drrr
Hi! This is Lucy speaking. I'm busy at the moment; plea-
Natsu cut it. Grandine come near her son.
"She's not answering."
"Maybe she's already sleeping. Let's just talk to her tomorrow."
"Okay." =(
A/N: kinda sad eh? Poor Natsu… and where's Lucy?
Wanna find out? (~~,) hehe…
CONTINUE READING PLEASE~
Lucy opens her eyes and blinks a few times, she glance at the clock and find out its evening. It's kinda hard though because her eyes were puffy and swollen. Her nose's red. Her lips dry, also her throat.
Wonder why?
She's not sick; actually she's perfectly fine this morning. She just made that excuse to her boss because she really can't come to the café that time.
*FLASHBACK ~earlier that day*
Lucy happily stretches her arms as she wake up, cutely yawning in the process. She stood up, fixes her bed, walks to the bathroom and do what she has to do.
After that, she went to the kitchen, get some bread and walk to the front door to get her freshly delivered milk. As she open the door and stood outside, turning to the left where her milk is place…
Huh?
She found nothing. She tilted her head to the side.
"Lucy." A voice came.
Lucy froze. She was shock; she can't move and turn around to face the man who calls her name.
"It's been a while, I'm back." 'He' added. Lucy's eyes widen.
No, this cant be him, he can't be here... But this voice, it's only him... She thought. She slowly turns around and saw the worse. It really was 'him'! Why?
"'you happy to see me?" he asks as he swirl the half emptied bottle of milk in his hand. Lucy didn't answer; it's as if she's incapable of speaking. "I hope your not having any other business except from me." He walks closer to her; Lucy backs away and hit her back on the wall beside the door. "Because, you know, you're mine." He finally said as he taps her nose. Lucy flinched and closes her eyes tightly. So very tight that she thought she is just having a nightmare.
But as she opens them, she confirmed that it's not; Even though she's just alone now she knew.
She can feel her eyes began to water. What is she suppose to do? He's here again! Soon enough, tears fall out of her eyes as if they were chasing each other.
She runs to the door and locks it; Tears not faltering one bit. Then she hears her phone ringing. She walks slowly to the table where her phone was and saw it was Grandine.
After her conversation to Grandine, tears started to pour again.
She cried and cried.
Cried and cried until she fell asleep.
A/N: (TT_TT) sad… I know...But! Ho-Ho-HO~ another person in action! XD Do you guys know who might that 'man' be? Any guess? Please feel free to tell me who you thought it was. And also your review for this chapter! =D
