Chapter 4 - "When I Start to Fall in Love"
"It's because I can find out more about you. So I can fire you anytime. I hate a secretary who is claustrophobic."
"Why do you always want tofire me? What did I do wrong?" Lucy pouted.
"You didn't do anything wrong. Anyway, Gramps and I discussed last night. It's about an event taken at the field. It's a Fairy Sport event," Laxus handed a paper to her, "Only the boss partner with the secretary. You're my partner."
"When will the event start?"
"Next week Monday."
"Already?!" Lucy was surprised. Laxus moved closer towards her, "Now I remember . . . you're still staring at my lips." Lucy blushed a little and tried to push him, however he resisted.
"No wonder, you're trying to avoid me because of my lips," his head slowly turned to the right and closer to her face. A knock on the door interrupted them. Laxus backed off, "Come in." Levy opened the door, "Don't forget the meeting in 10 mins, Mr. Dreyar." Laxus nodded and went to sit on the chair to turn on his computer, "I will go soon and thanks for reminding me." Levy smiled and left. Lucy turned to look at Laxus with pouting, "How can you do that to me?" Laxus chuckled, "Don't forget my rule, 'don't fall for me'. I am not interested in you, Blondie." Lucy hissed out of this room.
"What the hell is he thinking?" She shutted the door. She felt worried, 'Mirajane . . .' Mirajane unexpectedly dragged her to go with her. They went to the storage room.
"Lucy, what did you talk about with my Laxus?" Mirajane slammed the wall.
"We just talked about an event that starts next week," Lucy shivered, "but don't hurt me please." Mirajane slapped her cheek, "Stop lying to me. I know you're flirting with him."
"What . . . what can I do for you to stop hurting me?" she asked.
"Fine, help me. I will confess my love to him. After meeting, tell him where we will meet," Mirajane grinned evilly.
.
After meeting, Lucy walked out of the room. She bowed many times to all workers.
"You don't need to bow them. Just move on," Laxus annoyed. Lucy took all papers from him, "Someone wants to see you in the rooftop."
"Who?"
"You will see who it is," Lucy bowed to him again and hurriedly walked away. Laxus puzzled.
.
.
At the rooftop, Laxus walked and looked around to see who it is. He glanced his back to see . . . Mirajane. "Mirajane? What is it?"
"Laxus, I want to tell you how I feel-" Mirajane stared at the ground.
"Do not tell me. I don't plan having a girlfriend. I need to go in my office. I am busy," Laxus walked and bumped her. Mirajane stared at him sadly.
.
Lucy was busy with paperworks and checked the computer until . . . a hand slammed on the desk. She startled, "Ah-" She looked up at Laxus, "L-Laxus? How was with Mirajane?"
"YOU . . ." Laxus paused, and looked at the door and then looked back at her, "Follow me." He walked to his office. She stood up slowly and followed him. Laxus closed the door and locked. Lucy saw what he was doing, "L-Laxus, why are you lock the door"
"Blondie, what the hell you're thinking? Did you force me to be with that person?" His voice was deep and scary.
"Calm down and you're blonde too. Let me explain-" Lucy tried to relax, but he grabbed her shoulders, "I have no interest to find a love. I want to focus on my job. You focus on your job and your family. Got it?" he shook her, but she closed her eyes because she was scared of him. Laxus started to realize that she was scared, and let go of her, "Sorry." She opened her eyes slowly to see him, "I-I am sorry. I ain't-" Laxus' one finger on her lips, "Shh. Be quiet." Laxus glanced at the door, knocking on the door. After a few seconds of silence, a knocking on the door again. Laxus looked at her, "Blondie, go hide under my desk. I don't want someone to get a misunderstanding about you and me." Lucy nodded and went hiding it. He unlocked the door and opened the door. It's Makarov Dreyar.
"Oh gramps, what's wrong?" Laxus asked.
"Uhh . . . do you know where Ms. Lucy Heartfilia is?"
"No, I don't."
"Okay, I guess I will sit here and wait for her," Makarov walked past him and sat on the couch. Laxus hesitated and sat on it, "Alright . . ."
.
Lucy's POV
'How long do I have to wait?' Lucy hid under the desk. She started to feel sleepy, 'I guess I have to take a nap.' She fell asleep.
One and half hours later, Lucy felt something on her hair. She slowly woke up and looked up at Laxus. He smiled warmly and stroked her hair. Ba-thump Ba-thump Ba-thump, She felt her heart pounding against her chest. 'What's this feeling? Am I . . . Am I starting to like this person? Laxus Dreyar?'
