The next day
Rouge, Sting, Rufus, Minerva and Orga went out on their mission. Even though Sting was depressed, he didn't show it. Sting's mind was stuck on the events from the last day. As they left Magnolia, Sting decided that he'd have to try his best to forget about Lucy and move on.
Lucy's pov
I didn't sleep last night. The words I told Sting kept replaying in my head. My eyes were red and puffy from crying and my heart yearns for sting. It's true, he hadn't confessed how he felt about me but I was sure I knew it by the look in his eyes. Yes, maybe Sting and I had a very intimate relationship but all that has to change now. Sting and I could be nothing more than enemies.
Ring-Ring
I looked to my side with eager eyes hoping and praying it was Sting. Maybe he had forgiven me? Maybe he didn't left? Maybe just maybe he didn't take my words to heart.
I grabbed my phone and with a hopeful happy facial expression I looked at the called i.d.
Natsu? Huh? Why was my ex calling me? What happened to his new screw toy? Thoughts ran through my mind like flowing water. Emotionlessly I answered the phone.
"Hello?" I said with venom in my voice.
"Luce, how are you?" Natsu said in a soft tone. This was enough to overwhelm me. All my emotions came rushing to the surface for him like a race.
How I missed his voice. I could imagine what he was looking like right now. His broad shoulders, his beautiful mesmerizing smile and his sexy abs. Oh God! What I'd do to be held by him again.

"I'm fine" Lucy said trying not to build conversation.
"I've missed you." This made Lucy's heart skip a beat.
"Look Natsu, is there a reason you called?"
"Can't I just call to talk to you?"
"Umm Last time I checked you dumped me for your new screw toy Lisanna."
"Ahaha! That's what you call her? And that was a mistake, I'm sorry."
"What's the matter? Lisanna doesn't want you to get her out her panties?" Lucy said wickedly adding fuel to the fire.
"No Luce, It's nothing like that. Look can we just meet?" Natsu said hopefully.
Lucy didn't know how to reply. If she saw him, she'd go crazy! And Sting. What about Sting? Man! Was she losing it?
"I don't know Natsu."
"Please Luce just give me one more chance, I'm regretting losing you and I really wanna see you. If you could just please find it in your heart to forgive me and give me just this one chance just this once I promise I won't make you regret it. If you accept my apology please meet me behind our guild. Just one more chance…"
When Natsu said that, Lucy hang up and began crying. What was she going to do? What if she did hook up with Natsu again? How would Sting feel if he found out? What would he think of her? He'd feel like she used him.

It was seven in the night when I decided to walk to my guild. I didn't know why I was going but it seems like my feet had a mind of its own. When I arrived in the back of the guild I was shock and stood there in awe. The trees was decorated in yellow Christmas lights and rose petals decorated the grass leading up to a table for two, laid for a queen with champagne and wine along with different food stock.
"I smelt your scent from a mile away" a husky voice said from behind me. "I thought you'd like something like this."
As I turned around I saw Natsu eyes with flames emitting from them.
Normal pov
"I-'' but before Lucy could reply, a strong pair of arms wrap around her. She missed the warmth of his body, his breath against her skin this made her melt into Natsu.
"Luce I'm really very sorry, please give me a chance to make it right. Please hit me, slap me, use me, treat me badly but let me repent for what I did to you. His breath sent shivers down her spine. Lucy did not reply. When Natsu realize she was not convinced, he let her go and told her 'let's have dinner' to lighten up the mood. She followed him to the table where he held her seat awaiting her to sit and then proceeded to sit himself. The entire dinner was silent; neither of them said a word to each other. The atmosphere was suffocating like there was no air to breathe. Curious as to what happened between Natsu and Lisanna, Lucy finally spoke up. "So what happened to you and your new found relationship?" Lucy air quoted.
Lucy's pov
"I left Lisanna… I know it's wrong, but Lucy I can't stop thinking about you. Everywhere I look I saw only one thing, you. I was confused back then but now I know what I want. And Luce it's you. It's always been you."
Bullshit! Bullshit! If it's always been me then why'd you left me for Lisanna? Why'd you betray me? And if you knew I slept with Sting would you still want me? Do you really think I'd be okay with you leaving me and coming back making me feel like a whore? I hate you I hate you I hate you I hate you!
My thoughts were going wild. Geez! Why were he such and idiot? But why was he the only one who could make her feel this way? Was it really true she used Sting as a rebound for Natsu? Or did she love him? Did she still love Natsu? Who was it gonna be Natsu or Sting?
Before a word could exit her mouth, Natsu's lips crashed against hers while his hands wrapped around her waist in a tight clutch. Lucy's eyes widen and she was in shock she didn't know what to do. She tried pushing him back but to no avail. When he stopped to breathe, Lucy was dead in her tracks when she heard these word exited Natsu mouth in a very passionate and seductive way.
"Lucy Heartfiliah, I love you."
