Chapter Five: Show Me Off
Lucy's chest heaved, her muscles ached and she was riding her last nerve. She was acutely aware of Natsu running through the choreography easily, and she stopped and bit back a scream of frustration. "Hey Freed, I have an idea." The green-haired man eyed her and with the look of irritation she bore, a smile crept across his face as he nodded his head in Lucy's direction, prompting Natsu to wink and put a finger to his lips.
Natsu crept up behind her and grabbed her wrists, pulling her against him and running her through the steps so fast her mind couldn't creep in and make her stumble. As the song faded she found herself looking up at him, eyeing his grin as his fingers gripped a little tighter into her waist as he helped her up. "How did you do that?" She asked breathlessly, "Simple, you got too wrapped up in the steps in your head, you needed to reset. I forced you to run through the steps and you aced them. Stop thinking so much."
She smirked and said "Ok, let's run through our main song then… If you're so confident." Natsu eyed her predatory grin and gulped, and looked pleadingly at Freed, who returned her grin and clicked Play on the stereo.
Lucy was killing him. They were backstage at the concert getting ready for her debut, and it was taking every single grain, fiber, nuance, willpower to not shove her up against the wall here in front of everyone and kiss her and touch her until they were arrested for Public Indecency. She was wearing a scarlet bralette, a pair of skin-tight black jean shorts that featured decorative laced-up sides and studded pockets. Her slender feet were covered by black stilettos and her nails were painted black with red accents. She wore gold bracelets and her signature family necklace, and then gold pillar earrings.
She oozed sex appeal in his personal opinion. Suddenly he found himself forgetting his lines, forgetting his cues, and then realized in horror that the casual sex was turning into a whole lot more to him. He could feel his brain panic.
RED ALERT. RED ALERT. NOT IN THE CONTRACT, ABORT. ABORT.
He needed to nip this in the bud, he didn't want to lose her due to feelings she might not have for him, but that he definitely had for her. As he watched her put her makeup on; minuscule as it was due to her naturally blemish-free skin and enchanting eyes, he found himself forgetting his music lineup. And then he had to swiftly walk away to re-read the list of music he was supposed to sing in order.
Damnit.
Lucy took her place in the darkness of the stage, lying provocatively on a chaise lounge chair facing the audience with her long legs crossed, and waited. Her mic was ready, she knew her lines, and she knew the choreography well. All she had to do is walk around sexily until her duet with Natsu and her costume change. The lights began to come up and she took in a breath, then began her debut.
She snapped her fingers as the music started, and lazily put her head in one of her perfect hands.
I'm done with wishful thinking, and with day-dreaming
Of ever finding 'Mr. my everything'
Just looking for the right guy, to keep me spinning
And keep my finger free from, that diamond ring
She slowly uncrossed her legs and pushed herself off the lounge, waltzing up to one of the male dancers as she was supposed to and running her hand down his face as he gripped her waist and dipped her.
I'm looking out for fun with my ladies tonight
So if you think you could be fun, you can come by my side
Don't care what you do, or if you live with your mom
But if it's really fun you've got, then baby come give me some.
She crooked her finger at the audience, who was now cheering and dancing to the beat. Sinking into the choreography she swayed seductively as the chorus came up.
No more 'Mr. Right'
No, no more of that, for me
No more perfect night
No more 'Mr. Wow'
With some luck, you might be 'Mr. Tonight', baby…
You could be my 'Mr. Right Now'
She danced until her feet ached in her heels, but never faltered in her song. When it was over, she introduced herself and called up her partner. He waltzed out of the lefthand stage and waved enthusiastically to his fans. "Hellllooooo Magnolia! How's everyone doing tonight!?" The crowd howled and waved, making him laugh. "Well I see you guys are enjoying our new songstress just as much as we are, so without further adieu, Lucy, wanna show them what we've got?"
She grinned and crooked her finger at him, "Come to me Mister Man, I got a little dance with your name on it." She murmured into the mic sexily, making the crowd wolf whistle and cheer.

The song ended with her in his arms, limply hanging with sultry eyes on him. Her chest heaved and she wanted so badly to wrap herself around him and make everyone know exactly who they were to each other. 'Control, later girl.' She thought to herself. He helped her up and almost smacked her tight little ass as she waltzed off stage while shooting a kiss to the crowd.
He amped himself up for their next song, the last one would be hers, but this one would hype the crowd to her standards. The music kicked up and he started.
You'll never meet my mom, strings will never be attached
We'll always get along, 'cause it doesn't have to last
And anytime I call, You don't have to call me back
I'm never gonna fall, but I'm never hard to catch
He thought of Lucy in the back, knowing her silhouette was on the monitors as she slowly and sensually changed into her final outfit, the lights flashed and sparks flew as the next verse began.
She said she's cool with it, she is down with it
There's nothing wrong with it, 'cause it's easier this way
She's so cool with it, she is down with it
There's nothing wrong with it
Don't want it any other way
It's just your typical, hardcore, casual sex
We're single but we're lovers, crazy for each other
Just your typical, hardcore, casual sex
We're wild under the covers, crazy for each other
He took a breath and steadied himself, resisting the urge to whip around and stare at her silhouette changing. The knowledge that she'd likely recreate this moment later, but in the opposite direction, made him feel so much better.
We don't have to go on dates, you don't have to like my friends
I'll poke it in your face when you're makin' other plans
If you're tired of the taste, we can try another blend
My heart will never break I'm just here to break a sweat
His head back in the game, he belted out the last verse with much more vigor, using her image and memory of her on top of him whimpering, begging, screaming his name as inspiration to make the song have more meaning. A few fans might piece together the choice of songs, but hey, tabloids were never believed anyway.
That's why she's cool with it, she is down with it
There's nothing wrong with it, 'cause it's easier this way
She's so cool with it, she is down with it
There's nothing wrong with it, don't want it any other way
It's just your typical, hardcore, casual sex
Single but we're lovers, crazy for each other
Just your typical, hardcore, casual sex
We're wild under the covers, crazy for each other
She's so cool with it, she is down with it
There's nothing wrong with it, 'cause it's easier this way
She's so cool with it, she is down with it
There's nothing wrong with it
Don't want it any other way
It's just your typical, hardcore, casual sex
Single but we're lovers, crazy for each other
Just your typical, hardcore, casual sex
We're wild under the covers, crazy for each other
Everybody wants a lover like that
Fire under the covers, crazy for each other
Everybody wants a lover like that
Fire under the covers, crazy for each other!
The crowd was screaming, headbanging, and dancing to the music, thoroughly crazy for more. 'That's great, 'cause her encore is gonna drive them wild.'
The lights dropped and he quickly headed off stage, knowing the smoke was his warning for her entrance, the lights began flashing as she moved into different poses and began her number. 'It's been a while, I know I shouldn't have kept you waiting. But I'm here now...'
She kept her voice low at the opening, talking in a sing-song voice that made everyone grin and began to sway to the music. The women behind her began to dance provocatively as she descended the steps in a slow, seductive manner.
I know it's been a while but I'm glad you came
And I've been thinking about how you say my name
You got my body spinning like a hurricane
And it feels like you got me going insane
And I can't get enough, so let me get it up
She suddenly picked up the pace and began dancing, moving slowly toward a male dancer waiting in the wings, eyeing her like she was singing for him. He bristled a little, but then reminded himself of his feelings and how he needed to cool towards her before he fucked up.
Ooh, looks like we're alone now
You ain't gotta be scared we're grown now
I'm gonna hit defrost on ya, let's get it blazing
We can turn the heat up if you wanna
Turn the lights down low if you wanna
Just wanna move ya but you're froze up
That's what I'm saying
She suddenly stalked up to him and let him grab her hips, her hand running down his face from behind as they began to grind and dirty dance, making sure the meaning of her words were very well understood.
Let me break the ice
Allow me to get you right
Let you warm up to me
Baby I can make you feel
Hot, hot, hot, hot
Let me break the ice
Allow me to get you right
Let you warm up to me
Baby I can make you feel
Hot, hot, hot, hot
Pushing him forcefully away, she walked back to center stage and grinned, using the same sing-song voice to ask 'So are you warming up yet?'
You got me hypnotized, I never felt this way
Got my heart beating like an 808
Can you rise to the occasion?
I'm patiently waiting 'cause it's getting late
And I can't get enough, so let me get it up
She then dropped back to the dancers and let them swarm her, running their fingers over her sequined top and skirt like her body was theirs. She dropped her head back and began the next verse like a woman possessed with lust.
Ooh, looks like we're alone now
You ain't gotta be scared we're grown now
I'm gonna hit defrost on ya, let's get it blazing
We can turn the heat up if you wanna
Turn the lights down low if you wanna
Just wanna move ya but you're froze up
That's what I'm saying
Let me break the ice
Allow me to get you right
Let you warm up to me
Baby I can make you feel
Hot, hot, hot, hot
Let me break the ice
Allow me to get you right
Let you warm up to me
Baby I can make you feel
Hot, hot, hot, hot
The women backed off and she twirled forward, the skirt flaring around her and showing a little more skin, then once again she sensually said 'I like this part, ooh, It feels kinda good, yeah'
Let me break the ice
Allow me to get you right
Let you warm up to me
Baby I can make you feel
Hot, hot, hot, hot
Let me break the ice
Allow me to get you right
Let you warm up to me
Baby I can make you feel
Hot, hot, hot, hot
Let me break the ice
Allow me to get you right
Let you warm up to me
Baby I can make you feel
Hot, hot, hot, hot
She dropped into the waiting arms of the male dancer, and let him spin her in the air like she did when she wrapped herself around an assailant, but this time it was more provocative and had a completely different intention. Natsu watched her dance and felt pride, adrenaline, and a whole new form of absolute lust.
Let me break the ice
Allow me to get you right
Let you warm up to me
Baby I can make you feel
Hot, hot, hot, hot
The dancer put her down slowly, letting her slide down his body as the song ended, and she finished the final verse center stage with a sensual hand sliding down her perfect frame. The crowd erupted, the sensuality of her song igniting every ounce of sex appeal everyone held, if it wasn't absolutely forbidden Natsu had no doubts that an orgy would have started right then and there. He joined her on stage and twirled her, wrapping his arm around her waist and addressing the crowd, "So ladies and gents think we should keep this sexy little temptress?"
A howl of approval came from the audience and they grinned, and Lucy walked forward a little, keeping a waltzing sway in her steps. "Glad to hear it loves, looks like you'll be seeing a whole lot more of me… If you catch my drift." She winked as she turned and high-fived Natsu as she danced off the stage, leaving him to close the concert. When she got backstage she hurried to her dressing room and shut the door behind her quickly, her chest heaving. She was on fire, her adrenaline roaring in her ears and her nerves alight with much more than the energy of the song.
She wanted, needed, to be touched. Her prayers were answered when Natsu opened the door and looked for her, concerned at her sudden flight. She grabbed him by the collar and yanked him inside, furiously kissing him and locking the door behind him. They stripped each other with no regard for the fabric, roughly going at it like they were possessed. She moaned when his hands fisted him her hand and thrusted into her at the same time, her eyes rolling back into her head in ecstasy. "Look at me." He commanded, she immediately leveled her sex-crazed eyes into his equally aroused expression. Together they cried out as they climaxed, uncaring of who heard the obvious sounds of sex coming from the room, and leaned their heads together as they came down from their high.
The silence was broken by five little words whispered from her lips.
"I think I love you."
