Sting's pov
This weird feeling ran through my body. I've been missing Lucy like crazy. Her hair, her voice, the way she smiled, her smell all had me spellbound. I know I said I had to move on but thinking about her this way especially naked and the things we did, just drove me insane. I blushed at my perverted thought and how I always pictured Lucy that way. But she didn't want me in her life right? I meant nothing to her. I wonder if she even thinks of me like I'm constantly thinking about her. Or was I just the toy for the night? I frowned. One thing was for sure, I needed to hear Lucy's voice I needed to hear her tell me off once me. Tell me that that night, my feelings meant nothing to her. I needed to hear these words once more for closure. With that thought, I told my comrades I needed to some fresh air and wandered off to a near village. I came across a high roof top and jumped on top it making myself comfortable. Then I dialled Lucy's number without a thought to spare and waited for her to answer.
Lucy's pov
Natsu said he loved me? He loves me? Was I dreaming? Why was I having mixed emotions right now? No, this was reality. Natsu was holding me in a crushing embrace claiming he loves me. But was he serious? Did he really want me? A wave of depression passed through me as I thought of ways to reject him. After all I slept with Sting and for some reason I believe I have more feelings for him than that which I want to comprehend. Before I could use my vocal chords to say something, my phone rang. Sting? Sting OMG! Wait, why was he calling so late? Did something happen? Did he get hurt? I was too caught up in the possibilities of what might happen to sting I forgot I was still in Natsu's arms.
"Err Lucy, your phone is ringing." Natsu said in a nonchalant voice.
I released myself from the embrace while telling Natsu not to follow me or eavesdrop on my conversation. When I thought it was far enough, I answered the phone.
Sting's pov
"Hello?" I said in a husky voice.
"…Hey" Lucy said hesitantly.
"Umm how are you?" I said scratching the back of my neck.
"It hasn't been that long but I'm okay..." Lucy said and I could tell she was somewhat sad.
"Is something wrong?" I said in a low voice, detecting that she was hurt.
"No…no it's just ump…..why did you call?" that stung.
Then it hit me, I wanted to talk to Lucy about my feelings. There was just no way had I wanted to believe she didn't feel anything for me.
"Lucy…can you just listen to me for a minute please?" I said a bit shaken up by her previous words.
"Sure" was all she said.
I wanted to quarrel and rant & rave and question her about so many things but the right words just didn't seem to leave my mouth at that moment. Instead I said.
"I've been thinking a lot Lucy, like a lot and I don't like, no I hate how things ended between us last night." I said in a low voice full of hurt and depression.
"Stin-'' before she could continue I cut her off.
"Listen, please…Like I was saying, I don't like it. You're like running through my mind 24/7 and I hate the fact that I can't hate you nor forget you. Lucy you're a big part of me ever since what happened and I want you to remain in my life. I want to do this right."
"Sting what are you suggesting?" Lucy whispered.
"Lucy…can we atleast start off as friends again and let's see where the future takes us from ther-'' my words got cut short by a voice I'd recognize in the comparison off a million crowd.
"Lucy who're you talking to? Salamander voice rang through my ears like venom.
My entire resolve shattered at that moment. I could her Lucy telling him to leave her for a minute. I gritted my teeth in rage and clenched my fists at the side. What was Lucy doing with that asshole? And why was sting sounding like the one interrupting there time together. Then it hit me like an arrow straight to the chest. I was just a rebound for Natsu and Lucy might be getting what she want from him and I was the asshole interrupting their lives.
"Listen Sting" Lucy's voice broke me out of the trance.
"Are you okay? I mean it's weird to hear your voice in such a disdaining manner?"
This made me angry. Can't she tell I was missing her? Did I not say she was on my mind? She was too caught up with that fire-breathing dummy to even listen to me.
"Yeah I'm fine. Rogue's calling. Later."
"Sting! Listen" I cut the line and proceeded to the hotel where I was staying with the gang beyond angry.
Lucy tried to call back 6 times and more but I refused to answer her. After all she was back together with the asshole.
I entered my room and after a hot shower I sat on my bed with my towel covering the lower part of my body while water was dripping from my hair.
"Oyez Sting! Are you okay? You seem angry when you got back." My room door was open revealing Minerva.
I stood up from my bed as she proceeded to close the door behind us and my eyes followed her every move. She sat on my bed crossing her legs and eyeing me down like i was a piece of meat. While her eyes wandered my body, I spoke up.
"What are you doing Minerva?" I questioned still thinking about Natsu and Lucy together and what they might be doing.
"What am I doing? What am I doing? Sting what are you doing?" I was taken aback. "Can't you tell how much I love you? Can't you see the way I look at you? I crave to just hold your hand. Sting I'm in love with you. I've had a crush on you since ever." Minerva protested.
I don't know what came over me. Was it my urge to get back at Lucy or was I just horny? I took my shirt off and began kissing Minerva who looked shocked at first. She replied and wrapped her arms around my neck pulling me on top of her in the bed. All my senses seemed to disappear at that moment and all was in my mind was Lucy and Natsu on a bed together like us now. My eyes was still full with fury and as wrong as I knew this was I went along with it not caring to hear my phone ringing.
