"Let me take you dancin', Two-step to the bedroom, We don't need no dance floor" Jason Derulo Take you dancing

I think I felt guilty about the whole conversation I had with Lucy a few days prior, it felt like I already committed the ultimate sin of cheating. I shake my head and motion to Laxus to take a turn. We were on our way to my wife's work. I was taking her lunch.

"I got Lucy's number" I hear from next to me and I look to Laxus with a fake ass smile. It took him a while but seems he finally got her number.

"How the hell did you do it?" I ask and I know I am faking excitement for my friend.

It was all just a big mind fuck because it just seemed that Lucy was on her own planet with her boyfriend, they always seemed to be on cloud nine and happy, you would never think there is anything wrong. Then we had Laxus who was pining after her like a love sick puppy. And I didn't mean it in a good way.

He was on his best behaviour, treated her like a lady and even a blind person could see he was interested in her. He would hint at it every chance he got and I could understand that, Lucy was a catch, but she was with her boyfriend. And then me and Lucy… I don't even know what the fuck was going on there, but it was normal, we acted normal, not like anything happen. Maybe she just didn't act so obvious.

"I asked her the other day as she left for home." Laxus says with a smile. And I give him a smile in return. Well he did it the right way. But in the end, I did get her number before him, so it was a win in my book, not like I did anything other than get the number. "Do you think she and her boyfriend will last?" he asks as he moves his sun glassed lower on his nose and his eyes meet mine.

"I don't know, only time will tell." I reply looking back at the road ahead.

"Well I'll build on what I have and see where it gets me." Laxus says and I nod my head as he pulls into the parking lot. I open the door without even waiting for him to say another word. I don't know how I felt about what he just said. I move my feet fast as I make my way into the business premises, and as I enter, the receptionist looks up and she smiles at me, then she goes completely pale as she tries to plaster on a fake smile.

I give her a smile and move to the counter. "Is Lisanna here?" I ask as I force a smile and I can see the woman in front of me is trying to come up with words, whether the truth or a lie I wasn't too sure. I look to the side where I know Lisanna sits and frowns because I would be able to see her from here, but seems she was not at her desk.

"Yes, hold on I will call for her Natsu." The woman says but I raise my hand shaking my head from side to side.

"No need, I will just wait for her." I find myself saying and I move towards her office door, standing just inside her office. I lean against the wall, and something just didn't feel right today. Out of the corner of my eye I watch the receptionist, she might even just text Lisanna I am here, but the woman just continues to look at me and smile awkwardly.

I wait for a few minutes which turns into 10 then into 15. I sigh and look around, and then I see her walking in with another co-worker, a male I have seen a few times before. I watch as she smiles and she affectionately touches his arm and smiles to him as she talks. Neither noticing me as I stand and watch them.

They move slowly towards the direction of her office, they seem too comfortable with each other, and they seemed to be too close to each other. I continue to look on as they walk back, and she giggles at something he said. When they are in hearing distance, I can hear how she thanks him for the wonderful surprise lunch and how they should have more outings like the one they had today.

I clear my throat and both look up, and I am not sure if its surprise, shock or panic I see in my wife's eyes as she instantly moves away from the male and she smiles to me. It was a fake smile, and I knew when she was faking. I give an awkward smile in return.

"Hey," I greet and she moves closer to me and leans in for a kiss but I just give her a half-hearted hug.

"Hey." I say as I take a step back, the male stopping next to me.

"Natsu you remember Gajeel?" Lisanna is quick with her words, but I don't know why but I think I already knew what was going on.

"Yeah, nice to see you again." I say as I turn on my heel and look to Lisanna. "I brought you lunch but seems you already went out to get." I say and I can't help it but the words taste bitter in my mouth as I say them.

"Oh it was something small…" Gajeel says and I just nod my head to him as I continue to look at my wife who seems uncomfortable and very uneasy.

"Its fine hope you enjoyed it, I will see you after work?" I finally ask and I watch her eyes search mine and I am not sure she found what she was looking for. Before they knew what was going on I turned on my heel, nodding my head to them as I made my way to the door and back to the car. Maybe I was wrong but my suspicions were always spot on. And right now it told me that my wife was being un-loyal to me. I know I didn't have the proof and maybe it was because of what happened between me and Lucy but my gut knew it and I trusted my gut. I raise my hand and give a curt wave before leaving the business and moving back to the car.

"I'm in love but you don't care, Turn your anger into lust, I'm still here but you don't trust all, And I'll be waiting"Goo Goo Dolls – Big Machine

I didn't need any verification that my wife was seeing someone else because it was as clear as day light, and it was written all over her face. Every time she looked at me, it was evident in her eyes. It made me more aware of everything that I was blind to. Or maybe I just didn't want to see it. Maybe I was just lying to myself to ensure that I remain happy. I was complacent with what I had never really thought of how it could or would be.

I sigh as take in a breath and look towards the entrance of the station. I felt so betrayed. I felt, God I don't know what I felt. My emotions were numb to a point where sighing was what I did most of the time. I press the pass code and the gate opens. Laxus, Gray and Jellal already there waiting for me. We all agreed to follow each other to the venue for the retirement function of our commanding officer. When they see me they nod their heads and go to their respective vehicles and I make a quick turn to turn around.

I wasn't at work currently, I was taking study leave to finish of the exams for my diploma. But I couldn't stay at home, I was restless. So this outing was just a golden opportunity to get away from my house. Away from Lisanna. The drive to the venue was short and soon we are on the elevator making our way up to the 16th floor.

"Who was invited to this thing?" Jellal asks and I turn my head to look at him.

"You know surely just the fine pick of the station." Laxus says under his breath as we take a turn and make our way down the hall. I look up and see some people are already here, some siting sipping on something to drink. I look around the room and see Erza rising to her feet making her way to me smiling brightly.

"Natsu! You came!" She exclaims and she almost sounds too excited to see me. Sometimes I wondered about this woman as well. Her and her constant changing moods.

"Sure why wouldn't I be here?" I say as I look around and I see similar faces of people who are top dogs at the station. Or well in the click of the Station Commander. Erza keeps holding my hand smiling brightly.

"Just thought since you were off studying… You look great Natsu." Erza states and its almost like she looks from me down to herself and then she smiles back to me, as if she expects me to compliment her. And yeah she wore a bit of make-up and did something nice with her hair but she was dressed like she was going to a funeral. I just continue to smile and wiggle out of her grip but that was in vain as she clasps my arm and pulls me down to sit with her, the previous occupant no longer occupying the seat, not even sure who it was. But as soon as I sit I look around and I see Jellal and Laxus are sitting off to the side, Gray ushering what seems to be Lucy towards them. Which I found strange, I watch them sit down and order some drinks as Erza calls the waiter and I ask for a beer.

As soon as Lucy sits down and her bag is on the floor she looks around, her eyes are looking for something or well someone. I glance to her and our eyes meet and she instantly smiled motioning to me to come to her but Erza was having none of that. I hear Erza speak to me but it's just all bullshit and work related, and I can't bring to the conversation that they are currently having. I glance towards Lucy and Laxus and Jellal and they are talking and giggling and it seems that they are just having a great time, I watch as all three our Captains who works with us get closer to the little group Lucy has made and it's all fun and laughter.

I felt like the odd one out in this situation and that is until Erza caught me once again looking to the group that is flourishing around Lucy. "You know she is so fucking wet for you." Erza starts and I look at her giving her a glare. "She has the hots for you, it's so clear." Erza continues and I sigh.

"You know nothing is going on between me and Miss Heartfelia. I am married and I wouldn't do that or let any female come between me and my wife." Or would I do that with her but I wouldn't tell anyone. Erza shakes her head and she seems slightly disappointed as she takes another sip of her wine.

"But she is a bloody cock tease to you all." Erza says and I think that was the night she really got on my bad side because I turn to look into her eyes.

"What?" I ask in a bit of disbelieve as Erza rolls her eyes and sips her drink again.

"Lucy is an attention whore." Erza says and at this I snort. I just couldn't believe my friend was being so bitter towards Lucy. Who has been nothing but nice and helping?

"Just because she is friendly, doesn't mean she is an attention whore. So if you can't say anything nice about Miss Heartfelia then don't say anything at all." I find myself saying and at this Erza shoots me a surprised look as she gulps down the sip of wine that was currently in her mouth. I shake my head from side to side clearly showing disappointment in my friend. So as soon as the speeches was done and lunch was served I made a quick exit and made my way over to the group with Lucy and my other co-workers, not even giving Erza a second glance. I take the spot between Lucy and Jellal.

"Finally you made it!" Lucy coos as she pulls me down next to her. She giggles but smiles as she continue to banter with the 8 males and 2 females around the table. We had a big group now sitting together, and we are a good bunch. I see Lucy stare at me every other second and I watch her as she places her bag on the table and rise up. She was wearing a beautiful blouse showing just a bit of cleavage with a skinny jean and matching it with a pair of high heels. She looked so elegant, yet made me want her so much more.

"Yeah I was a bit held up." I manage to say as I raise my hand to call the waiter over to our table, ordering another drink.

"I feel bad that you had to sit with Erza, but you took one for the team." Gray says and at this I just shake my head closing my eyes.

"Next time it's one of you." I manage to say and at this Lucy giggle. I hear her name being called as she looks up and then she frowns and rises from her chair moving behind me somewhat. She turns back and then she talks softly to Gray and he nods his head with a smile on his lips, it mirrors the smile she wears as she turns and I find myself turning to look at what was going on, only seeing Erza with some people trying to call Lucy to join them, but it seems she declined.

"What was that about?" Laxus asks as Lucy sits down again, making herself more comfortable.

"Oh I came with Erza, she and the others wants to go and check out the casino then leave but luckily Gray will take me home, so I can spend more time with you all." At this there is a cheer and I shake my head clearly knowing that Erza did that on purpose.

We continue to sit around talking and more and more people seemed to be leaving to the point we were asked to leave. But it was still early. The night was still young. That was until lovely Lucy suggested we move this little party to the restaurant at the bottom. And I, Laxus, Jellal and Gray all agreed. As we wait in the lobby of the elevators I stand and I look at Lucy, really admiring her. Laxus walks up behind me and slaps my ass and at this both myself and Lucy looks to him, giggling. Now please note myself and Laxus have a few alcoholic beverages in our systems.

"Lucy!" Laxus calls and the blond looks to him and she keeps giggling, for someone who was still sober, she surely acted tipsy. "How about me and Natsu double team you in the elevator?" At this I clap a hand over Laxus mouth and Lucy continues to giggle trying very hard to keep her composure.

"You boys can try, but I ain't promising anything." She says and at this the door to the elevator opens and she turns and walks into it holding the door for me and Laxus. I rush to press the close button, Jellal and Gray will find us.

"Is that permission?" I find myself asking knowing this is all just for the fun because I doubt neither me nor Laxus would ever do such a thing.

"Maybe." She replies as we all take a corner in the elevator looking at each other.

"Give us some motivation then…" Laxus says and at this Lucy rolls her eyes and shakes her head as she places her hands on her breasts and I am in awe as I watch her.

"What, you want some titty action?" she asks and I almost choke on my own spit as both myself and Laxus look to her in disbelieve. But she quickly straightens up as the elevator comes to a stop and the door opens, two males looking into the elevator before walking in and I move closer to the back and closer to Lucy. The following few level to the ground was in silence. And as soon as we were in view of the restaurant we rushed to it, getting a booth.

So between me and Gray sat Lucy and across from us was Jellal and Laxus. We start it off with a round of drinks. Out of habit I place my arm on the back of the chair and it almost seems like Lucy is sitting in my embrace.

"Don't give me too strong drinks please." Lucy says as Gray pulls out his phone. He made it evident that he wasn't going to be part of the conversation. He was anti-social like that. "I will never hear the end of ditching Erza." She then says as she looks up. Laxus and Jellal are focused on the drinks menu.

"Fuck her." I manage to say and at this Lucy gives me a thoughtful smile.

"Rather not. She isn't my type." She mutters and at this I laugh as I look to Laxus and then back to Lucy.

"You know she thinks you have a thing for me right? Earlier she told me you're wet for me every time I enter the office." At this Lucy laughs from the pit of her stomach.

"You got to be fucking kidding me. Have you seen how she reacts every time you walk in to our office?" At this she rolls her eyes and she grabs at her phone checking something then placing it down again. I furrow my brows as I actually think for a second, what she was saying was true. Fuck she even forced me to hug her every time I greet her. I shudder. "I think she's into you." Lucy says and at this our eyes connect. "Why don't you take one for the team and just give her a fuck, since she hasn't gotten dick in forever." Lucy says a bit more serious and at this I shake my head.

"That bitch is fucking crazy." I manage to say and at this Jellal and Laxus looks towards us.

"Who? Erza?" Jellal asks and at this Lucy bursts out laughing as she nods her head.

"Hit the nail on the head with that one Jellal." Lucy manages to say and at this we all start laughing.

"Guys excuse me, got to go to the men's room." Laxus states as he slides out of the chair and Jellal's head is back to the menu.

I look to Lucy and she turns to me with a smile on her face. Her eyes glistering. I look her up and down and then pull at her shirt. "What are you even wearing, this looks like a dress." I manage to say lifting the shirt or dress up to look at her hips, black material covering it.

"It's a shirt and some skinny jeans." She manages to say but she doesn't stop my hand as I move it to her waist line pulling somewhat at it.

"And under it?" I ask with a cheeky smile and at this she winks at me.

"Nothing." Okay that single word just made me imagine so much that I had to shift in my seat. Fuck. I turn somewhat and then look at her as she gives me this sweet smile. "So we should discus that other matter we talked about when we have time again." She states and to be honest my mind was all over the place so I just nod my head and that was until Laxus came back sitting in his place. The waiter soon coming to take our orders.

That night we maxed Laxus credit card and we drank and drank and spoke so much shit, laughing. Life was just that moment with the guys and Lucy as we joked and spoke about this and that. At some point the waiters starts clapping singing the birthday song and Lucy even gets into the clapping until she realised that they were heading to her. Unknowingly Laxus had told them that it was her birthday. She smiles and played along and even tried to share her ice-cream. But it was hers. Jellal spoke more sense and Gray even joined the conversation. Every now and again she would throw a flirt towards either me or Laxus, who knew but we played along. That was until Gray wanted to leave. And she had to drive with him.

"I can drop you at home too." Laxus states as he takes another sip of his drink at this she smiles.

"So can I, if you want." I say smiling to her.

"You boys are gems but I think I should drive with Gray." Lucy states pulling out some money from her wallet which was thrown back into her purse. "I'll see you two, when you get back from exams, and Jellal I will see you tomorrow." She states as she zips up her handbag and she gives Laxus a smile and then turns to me smiling warmly. This had been one of the most memorable moments at work with co-workers that I would always cherish.

Because a day spent with Lucy, was a day well spent.

"And I'm all in, nothing left to hide, I'm falling harder than a landslide, I spend a week away from you last night"Lifehouse – All in

"How was the exams?" I hear and I turn to look at the blonde smiling brightly at me.

"I think I did okay." I manage to say as I pull out a cigarette and light it. Lucy takes a step closer till she is next to me and then she opens her arms to me. "What now?" I find myself asking.

"Oh, I just thought I would welcome you back with a hug." She instantly looks reluctant and she withdraw her arms but I stop her, stepping in front of her and I wrap my arms around her, making sure my cigarette is nowhere near her. I feel her fidget and it almost seems that she wouldn't return the hug but soon her arms are around my neck and she gives me a tight hug. Once I let go and we both take a step back she is beaming from side to side.

"Sometimes just try starting with a 'Hi Natsu, how are you', before you randomly hug people". I say smiling and finally taking a swig of my cigarette.

"Oh you don't like hugging?" she asks as she looks to me, her eyes full of wonder.

"No I like them. You give a nice hug." I say and at this she smiles again. "How is things here?" I ask and I look around not really seeing people. Well it was my and Laxus first day back, and it was like 15:00 so some people had already left.

"Busy as usual. You going out after your smoke?" she asks and I narrow my eyes at her.

"Nah, I am done for the day. Aries and Erza in the back?" I ask and at this Lucy shakes her head from side to side. I soon finish my cigarette and motions to Lucy to walk as I follow her, and believe me I took this opportunity to admire that beautiful ass she was sporting. How she sways her hips from side to side as she walks. Once we get into her office she takes a seat on Aries seat, and I sit across from her in Erza seat. "What's up Miss Heartfelia?" I say as I look around the office.

"I just don't feel like working you know?" She states as she pulls her phone towards her then she places it face down.

"Everything okay between you and Chaise?" I ask and at this she sighs as she looks down but there is this soft sad smile on her face.

"You can say okay." She says as her eyes meets mine. "Natsu were you serious when you said you were attracted to me?" She asks and she is straight forward.

I raise a brow as I look at her. "Yeah, why?" I find myself asking. She studies my face as she continues to look into my eyes. "Was it inappropriate?" I find myself asking.

She tilts her head to the side as she looks to me. "I have been thinking…" she trails off and then looks down. "Just I know there are so many young university girls around here and I mean you can hand pick and choose any girl you want…" She trails off again looking to the side. "Why would you have asked me?" she asks and at this I sit back and I blink several times.

"I don't do this Lucy, it was something that just came to mind." I answer and at this she continues to avoid eye contact.

"So you're telling me you don't fuck around like half the men here?" she asks and I mean this conversation went from 0 to 60 in less than 0.3 seconds. Why was she even questioning it?

"I have never cheated on my wife if that's what you're asking, yeah we look, we always look but we don't do anything to act on it. My name isn't Jellal or Gray." I defend myself as she finally looks up and her eyes meet mine. I was telling the honest truth here and I didn't enjoy being put in such a position. "I know what bridges I build, I don't want to burn them. You do understand that? Acting on anything with a girl around here would blow up in my face. Ruin a marriage." I say as I continue to stare at the blonde in disbelieve.

"So what you asked me, it would be just sex, nothing else?" she asks and at this I frown because how did our conversation even escalate to this point. I narrow my eyes. "And the thing is, how do you even know I'd keep my mouth?" she asks and at this I don't know how to react or what to say.

"I don't know." I find myself saying as I look down. "I didn't think you would take it serious though." I continue and at this she tilts her head.

"I was contemplating it." She replies and at this my eyes meet hers again. "I just have my own questions that I need to ask, for my peace of mind." She continues and I nod my head.

"How do I even know if you'd keep your mouth? I don't doubt you but my best bet would be telling people your crazy and throwing around false accusations." At this she frowns and then she giggles.

"Really smart Natsu." She says shaking her head.

"I don't know why I even said it, I just let it slip and it seemed to become a conversation and a discussion between the two of us, I don't know if I can trust you and if your just sitting here fucking with me, but we are discussing the matter so … I don't know." I find myself saying, this was becoming so complicated.

"You find me attractive?" she asks and I look to her, my eyes meeting hers. I nod my head. "And if you would ever consider this," she points to herself and me, "it would only be between the two of us?" she asks and at this I look down.

"It would just be sex. Nothing else. Sex between two friends." I find myself saying and at this she nods her head. "I would still want to remain your friend whether or not this happens or not." I say and at this her eyes softens.

"So we will see what happens then?" she asks as she stands and walks closer to me, she leans against the table I am seated at and she looks down to me. "You know what? I'm not like others, this I can promise you. Better yet I'll show you." She states and at this I just nod my head as I continue to look at her. I look at my watch and see that it's almost time for parade. I rise to my feet and she continues to lean against the table. I poke her on her arm and then another poke which goes a bit skew and I end up poking her breast. At this she giggles. "What the hell are you doing?" she asks and there is a slight blush on my cheeks as I look up.

"I was poking you to move sorry." I say and at this she chuckles.

I see her moving her arms and then her hands are on mine. "I know you just wanted to touch my breasts." Before I can reply to that she places both my hands on her breasts and I am speechless as she removes her hands and leaves my hands on her breasts. They were soft over her blouse, a bit more than a hand full but they were glorious, I look into her eyes and she shoots me this sweet little smile. And then we hear footsteps and I immediately remove my hands and she takes a few steps until she is safely behind her desk.
