Hi everyone! So were getting closer to the Mafia story and the lemons.. omg.. anyway Thank you for the reviews! 3 It keeps my motivation on :)
Natsu was deep in sleep, unable to notice the sun rising and the sound of a car parking on the driveway outside the house.
Chatters between Erza and Jellal were heard outside getting louder as they approach the main door.
"Seriously?!"
"Yeah and I heard Mira interfered their date again" Erza replied
Jellal chuckles "I bet Juvia was frustrated"
"But Gray didn't mind, as usual. He even found it entertaining" They exchanged laughter unable to notice the pink hair sticking out from the sofa. Jellal went straight to the kitchen while Erza went up to the guest room to wake up Natsu, who she was hoping was there.
Jellal opened the fridge and took the milk carton. He looked around hoping to see if no one would see what he's about to do. He drank up straight from the carton and drank half of it. He gave out a sigh of satisfaction and placed it back in the fridge. Then while walking to the living room he spotted a woman's bag on the coffee table. He thought carefully who owned it then he remembered Lucy was here. " ahh, she must've slept in the couch" he told himself. Then he noticed something as he walked towards the sofa he noticed pink hair on the side of the sofa " wait a minute.." He stopped in his tracks. "Is that n-"
"NATSU!" Jellal heard Erza's voice from upstairs wondering what happened..
upstairs..
Erza was already inside the guestroom pulling the sheets she assumed Natsu was in. "Hey, wake up! Were here already!" The sheets started to move as if the person inside was struggling to not wake up. " Erza started moving the sheets to have a better view of the person hiding "you think this is your house! Wake up!" Then small strands of blonde hair were sticking out then as she pulled the sheets a little more she saw a woman in black laced night gown sleeping on the bed.
"Mmm.. Natsu..5 more minutes.." Lucy whispered
Erza was surprised. " what's this? a woman slept with Natsu?" She thought to herself. "Wait a minute, this is Jellal's house.. THAT IDIOT!"
"NATSU!" She yelled as she walked out the room. "I'm gonna kill the idiot, getting cocky to bring a girl to a house of another man"
Jellal heard Erza's angry voice as it came closer while she came down the stars.
Natsu fell off the couch in shock seeing Jellal and Erza back. "Oh hey guys!" He smiled. "Don't, Oh hey me! Who the fuck did you bring at Jellal's home? One of your whores?!" Jellal was about to speak but then was butted by Natsu. " No way! She ain't a whore! That was Lucy!" Natsu said angrily "Don't call her a whore!" "I was expressing.." Erza crossed her arms. " no matter what I think I don't find it an expression" Jellal side commented.
"Ahh Goodmorning.." Lucy crept down quietly already in a white polo and a pencil skirt. "I'm really sorry for the intrusion, I didn't mean to surprise you Erza-san" she bowed politely. She faced Jellal and bowed to him. "I'm sorry for suddenly barging in your home. "
"Don't worry Natsu explained it all to me" Jellal spoke. Erza found her sweet and blushed at the thought of misjudging her. She bowed as well " I apologize for suspecting you as Natsu's whore" Lucy was shocked but she replied kindly "It's alright I'd suspect the same thing if I were in your position"
Jellal smiled at the two he came close to Erza and pointed at Lucy. "This is Lucy Heartfilia, she's my new partner in the undercover mission" Lucy smiled at Erza wih a cheery grin. "And this Ms. Heartfilia is Erza Scarlet" Jellal held Erza's waist giving her a shocked expression and as she turned her head to look at Jellal he was staring at her and as their eyes locked he said "my bride to be" Erza blushed and smiled at his sweetness. Lult touched and alittle bit jealous of the sweetness in the room but she was really happy for them. "Congratulations!" Lucy blurted.
Then a black bag suddenly fell giving a loud thud. "THUD"
They turned to find where the noise was from and saw Natsu fully dressed in his business attire, with a wide eyed expression and his jaw dropping from shock. " w-whaaat?! Your getting married? Does gramps know this?!" Erza smiled "yes, were engaged" she spoke softly. "The boss and I have talked already and we've cleared everything out. After finishing the Job, I'll retire from work and stay with Jellal" she smiled facing Jellal.
"Gee, I am happy for you Erza!" Natsu smiled "really I am" then went back to a serious face. " but who is going to be Capo once you leave?" We can't let your position be empty. Your also part of the team!" Natsu was anxious, worried that their team may be disbanded.
"That's why we came here early Natsu" Jellal interfered. " he let go of Erza and went closer to Natsu "since you were appointed leader of the group we decided to make you Capo of the team." He looked serious in Natsu's eyes. "Hopefully your alright with his agreement?" He put out his hand. Natsu did a toothy grin and said "Are you kidding me?" He scoffed " with pleasure" he shook Jellal's hand and the agreement was settled. Erza hugged Natsu and said "Thanks so much Natsu!" Natsu hugged her back even tighter and turned her around " your getting heavier! Better fix that before the wedding" he laughed.
Erza smacked his face "you idiot! Not in front of him!"
Lucy giggled at the sight of childish antics. Jellal went to her while the two were arguing. "So about your stay" he spoke suddenly. Lucy shakes her head signaling a no "I'll be passing by our place to get money then I'll be able to find a place to stay" she smiled. Thank you for letting me stay here again"
He gently smiled " sure thing" then he paused " by the way you won't be needing to look for a place to stay" Lucy looked confused.
Jellal continued " we'll be going to Fairy Tail tomorrow morning to settle in." "Whaaat?" It was now Lucy's turn to be in shock. The two arguing people awhile ago stopped and stared at them. " I thought after the weekends we'll start operation?" Lucy questioned.
"Won't you like that?" Natsu asked. " you get to meet the family beforehand" he smiled again.
Erza came closer " everyone will be happy to meet you two" Jellal nodded " first thing tomorrow we'll go there."
Lucy grinned and said "OK" Natsu showed a thumbs up sign and Lucy did the same in return.
After the talk Lucy went out of the house to bring her things to the car then saw that her car was missing. "What?! It was here yesterday!?" Natsu came behind her with a few of her baggage. " what's wrong?"
"My car it's missing"
"Oh, it must've been towed"
Silence happened for a while...
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN TOWED?!
"What?! 800,000 Jewels, for release?! Are you fucking kidding me?" Lucy was frustrated.
The clerk replied "sorry maam, this is a private subdivision, and tour car is not part of our validated list. So were assuming your an outsider."
Jellal then went to the window and showed his FBI id. "I hope you'd cut um some slack sir"
The clerk read the id and grunted "nope! No can do, I'm sorry sir but the law is the law and we won't be handing over your car once you pay for the fee. Were giving you 90 days"
Lucy got irritated and agreed instead. She refused to borrow money from Natsu, Jellal or Erza. " it'll be fine, three months is long enough for me to earn 800,000 jewels." Erza suddenly spoke " you can accept jobs while in the mafia so you can earn the lot" Natsu butted in " yeah! We'll help you Luce!" He smiled. "Thanks so much" Lucy smiled in return, but still worried how is she going to get to work or how is she going to travel from time to time.
Jellal spoke " for the meantime Natsu can drive you to work today" Lucy blushed heavily at the idea of being alone with Natsu again. "Natsu you don't mind do you?" Natsu walked towards his red ferrari " nah, come on Luce" Lucy bowed to Jellal and Erza and said goodbye. Apparently Jellal had to pass by his house again because he left a few paper works.
Both were quiet in the car, the office was really nearby so it was a fast ride.
Natsu dropped Lucy at the office Lucy waved goodbye and thanked him for the ride. Before she completely left Natsu yelled "where are you staying tonight?" Lucy felt embarrassed by the stares looking at her and Natsu she rushed back to the window of the car, "that was embarrassing you idiot!" He didn't care "which hotel are you staying at?" Lucy thought carefully "maybe Kingsman, I don't know." Natsu was frustrated. He looked down his pockets about to take out his phone "Tsk. Atleast give me your number.." But as he looked up she was walking towards the building already. "Hey! What the? Wh-? Tsk. Such a pain.." He looked at her until she disappeared from his sight. He blushed "sure wished that car ride was longer" he thought to himself. Lucy thought to herself, "God if you were gonna ask for my number you didn't need to sound so grouchy! What a douche!" She continued to her room then worked the whole day and finished until the last of the papers needed her research assistance.
After the day of work, Lucy took a cab and passed by her house and met Ms. Spetto, she gave her Lucy's debit cards and a few cash to hang on. They talked for a while and Lucy had to leave before her father arrived. She took a few stuff from her room and went out to get a cab to Kingsman Hotel. She fixed her stuff in her hotel room and took a warm bath. She relaxed for awhile and started to day dream. She imagined Natsu's face again, his smile, his laugh.. She thought of those funny jokes he'd tease her. She regrouped her thought about him and she smiled sweetly, "maybe its not bad to have a crush..."she thought to herself "but then again, he's a mafia leader... I shouldn't be too comfortable around him" Lucy was still doubting to trust Fairy Tail, bit if this was her chance to find her mother's killers then it would be an easier set up than she planned before.
"I'll just go with the flow then.." Lucy spoke talking to herself. As soon as she finished her bath she went out to wear her night gown and sat on the bed reading the terms and agreements given to her. She read it all until she reached the bottom of the page where a blank underline waiting for her signature. She took a pen in her bag and signed it. She tucked herself in and stared at her mother's photo. "Goodnight mom" she hugged the photo and slowly fell asleep.
Next morning Lucy received a text from and unknown number, "be there by 8:30." "Who is this?" She replied. "Better start now or you'll be late" She checked her watch it was already 8:10, She took a fast shower again and did her hair. She wore a black skirt and a white polo shirt with a big white ribbon to accentuate the whole outfit. She wore black ankle high boots and went down by 8:25. She arrived at the lobby waiting for whoever texted her. Then she sighted Natsu, she ran to him "Typical, I came earlier than you" Natsu paused and had a confused look. "what are you talking about?" Lucy was confused as well "didn't you text me to be here at 8:30?" Natsu shakes his head saying a No. Lucy got even more confused "then who-"she opened her bag and tried looking for her phone to show proof of the text. She then heard laughter and when she looked back at Natsu he was laughing. "Just kidding" he smiled and sticked out his tongue. Lucy was embarrassed and hit a him on the head. "Oww"he said "Your an idiot!" She walked pass him then turned around to look at him. "Aren't you going to escort me to the car" he looked at her and walk towards her "your wierd y'know that?" Lucy refused to reply and so he carried her things to the car.
The trip was a bit long but they arrived safely. The car entered a white mansion it was pretty spacious almost fit for royals. The gate was engraved FT and the doors were engraved as well. The fountain was beautiful and the statues as well. Lucy went out of the car and was approached by Kinana service head. "May I take your coat? Lucy handed her coat then suddenly Natsu spoke up behind her.
"Welcome to Fairy Tail Lucy!"
