Chapter 4:
Suspicions
"Really?" said the pink idiot who was shocked and happy of what he just heard.
"Yeah. I'll go out with you Natsu," repeated the blonde. Natsu then sighed in relief and look at the sky.
"It's getting a little late Lucy. Maybe I should take you home to your bother."
"OK. Thanks Natsu"
Walking together and holding hands, the new couple walked to Loki's house. When they reached the doorstep, Lucy turned around and hugged the boy once more.
"Hey since tomorrow is Saturday, maybe you want to go . . . on a date?" asked Natsu
"Sure"
Lucy walked inside only to be welcomed by the smell of burnt food. She grabbed the fire extinguisher and sprayed the food and her brother.
"Hey! What was that for?" said the older brother
"That's for making dinner. I've told you that I would be in charge of cooking unless you're ordering take-out," yelled the young one.
"Sorry"
They both started laughing because it had been a long time since they argued of something silly. Lucy missed her older brother and so did he.
"So did Natsu ask you out?" said Loki with a smirk
Spitting out her food and then choking on some of it:
"How did you know?"
"He asked me if it was OK for him to ask you out and I said yes. And because I heard the two of you talking outside of the door."
"Well he did and I said yes. And tomorrow we'll be going on our first date"
Now Loki was choking on his food:
"WHAT?"
"Yeah. He said he would plan it out."
"Damn. I didn't know he would jump to the date that fast"
"What's that supposed to mean Loki?" said Lucy who was holding a knife at the time.
"Nothing. Nothing."
It was Saturday morning. Lucy got up and saw Loki still asleep. She took this quiet time to take a nice warm shower. While in the shower, Lucy thought of what Natsu would do on their date today. When she got into some clean clothes, she greeted her older brother with breakfast in bed. By the time Loki woke up and ate it, it was around 12:00. After he ate breakfast, he saw a note on the table. It read:
Dear Loki,
I went to the mall with Natsu, Gray, and Levy. I don't know when I'll be back, but I'm telling you in case you want to come and find me. I wrote my phone number at the bottom of this paper. Remember I'll probably come home to change into something nice before I go on my date with Natsu. Okay. See you later. Love you.
-Lucy
P.S: Here's the number (561)-893-2687.
He put the note down and went to the bathroom to take a shower. He had almost forgotten about Lucy and Natsu's first date. He wondered where they might go. When he finished he grabbed his phone and called Lucy.
"Hello?"
"Hey I just got the note. You at the mall right now?"
"Yeah but its just me, Natsu, and Levy. Gray said he had other things to do."
"Alright, I'm just checking if you're ok."
"I'm fine. Thanks"
He hung up, then called Gray
"Hello?"
"Gray its Loki, are you busy right now?"
"Not really. I just finished some stuff for class, that's why I didn't go to the mall with the others."
"That's great. Hey listen I need a small favor from you."
"Sure what is it?"
"I need you to spy on my sister and Natsu when the go out on their date today"
"WAIT NATSU AND LUCY ARE DATING NOW? WHAT THE HELL. HOW COME I DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT THIS?"
"I don't know." then he paused to give Gray a minute to relax. "So will you help me out?"
"I guess so. I kind of want to see what happens."
"Great. I'll call you back when they leave."
"Alright."
