Chapter 4
Lucy P.O.V.
It was morning and I just woke up. I heard the sound of the train moving and saw the open blinds. The earth was moving by so fast. I turned to the clock to see it was 8:00 am. The train will be in town by 10:00. Plenty of time.
I looked to my left to see that Natsu was no longer there. Wait, it feels like I forgot something. What was it?
Oh, ya. I blushed as I remembered last night and the kiss on the cheek. I remembered how my heart was beating so fast, it felt like it was going to burst. Where is Natsu now?
"Natsu, where are you?" I called out.
"In the kitchen?" He replied. I sighed with relief. Why was I so worried? I know he would never leave me. At least I hope.
"Do you want to go eat soon?" I asked him, the blush slowly fading.
"Ya, lets go!" He said, rushing into the bedroom. Dang, he really likes food.
"Alright, gimme a sec." I told him and walked over to my bag to get a change of clothes. I walked into the bathroom and hurried to change. I quickly brushed my hair out and flung out the door.
"Done." I breathed. I wanted to hurry for him. I dragged him on this train so the least I could do is be quick to breakfast.
"Alright, lets go." He said with a grin. I couldn't help but smile. The thought of the kiss urged to come back to mind, but I did my best to keep it away.
We walked down the narrow hallway into the restaurant area. It was a nice looking place with booths and rounded tables. We walked up to a counter where a woman with a bodily figure was sitting slumped over the counter, looking like she was trying to show off her junk.
"Hello and welcome to the Train Cafe and restaurant! A table of two today?" She asked. Wow what an original name. I don't know why but I just don't like her.
"Three actually." Natsu said pointing to Happy. She smiles and walked us to our seat.
"Alright here are your menus. Would you like anything to drink?" She asked pulling out a notepad and a pen. Even the way she held her pen annoyed me.
"Just water, thank you." Natsu said, still looking over the menu intencally. We were gonna ave a huge bill after this meal.
"Aye~" Happy seconded.
"Same here." I said, trying not to be bothered. Was I just jealous that she was really pretty? Or was this just my senses telling me to be cautious of her? Either way there was something I didn't like.
"Alright, I'll leave you to decide what you want." She said turning around and winking at Natsu. I could have swore I saw her purposefully swaying her hips as she walked as if to flaunt her body off. I looked over at Natsu. It seemed he hadn't noticed her flirting and just sat and looked. I was happy that he didn't care. Wait, why would I be happy? Its none of my business what he does anyways. So why is there a pain in my chest?
"Hey Lucy, is something wrong?" Natsu asked, a concerned look covering his face. I realized how deep in thought I must have looked. I immediately smiled, trying to make it seem like nothing.
"Oh, its nothing." I said with an unconvincing smile. I could see him look straight through it, but he pretended not to notice, for my sake.
"Oh, ok. So what do you think you want to order?" He asked me, trying to change the subject.
"Um well-" I started before being interrupted by the slutty waitress. She didn't deserve to be called by her real name, Jessica. She was just so freaking annoying and I don't know why!?
"Have you decided what you want to eat?" She said, rudely towards me, then smiling back at Natsu. So she wants him? Is that why she's being a stupid bitch? Well she can't have him. Why? I don't own him. What am I thinking. Come on get it together.
The waitress set down our drinks and continued looking at me. Well I won't back down to you missy!
"Yes, yes I have." I said glaring at her. "I'd like the buttermilk pancakes with extra strawberries
on top, hold the powdered sugar and add some whipped cream." I said smiling a obviously ticked off smile. She scribbled on her notepad then turned to Natsu.
"And what would you like handsome?" She asked him with a grin. SAY WHAT!? I swear I'm gonna kill that ugly whore! I don't want my partner getting all mixed up with little tramps like her.
I think I actually might be falling in love with Natsu. I don't know how, or even why, but I feel attracted to him for some reason. I mean, he's clumsy and kind of dumb, but he is also really funny and caring.
"Will that be all?" The waitress asked. Wow, had I really just missed Natsu order all of his food? Dang I'm spacey.
"Yup, I think." Natsu replied handing the waitress the menu. I handed mine in and grabbed my glass of water. I took a couple of sips from it and decided to observe Natsu. He didn't seem too interested in her, so maybe I have a chance. I just really really like him. I don't know how I didn't realize my feelings earlier.
She swayed back to the kitchen and handed the paper to a chief. I looked at Natsu who was looking at me. I blushed and turned away.
"W-what do you want?" I asked looking down and the seat.
"You're definitely acting weird today." He said to me, continuing to look at me.
"I-I don't know what your talking about. I'm the same as always." I said trying to act as if nothing was happening.
"Are you feeling sick" He asked me, reaching over the counter to fee my forehead with his palm. I looked him in the eyes for about ten seconds, which felt like an eternity to me. This only made me blush more. I brushed his hand away and looked back down.
"No, I feel fine. It's just… nevermind …" I said, feeling flustered. My heart was pounding like it was going to beat right out of my chest.
"Is it… about last night?" He asked. My eyes widened, remembering the touch of his soft lips on my face. I touched my cheek. I was blushing a bright red. I don't know if my heart can take any more of this.
"N-no. I mean yes, but that's not it. It's just, ya, you know." I said in an awkward rush. God I'm a mess.
