Natsu has called three times that day.

Lucy didn't answer any of them.

She was too scared to.

At least while Zancrow was around.

Do I really love him if I fear him?

Well why not?

Maybe love was fear. Or maybe fear was love.

Maybe it was the same thing.

Or maybe he lied to her.

It was possible, Lucy always knew that it was possible that Zancrow lies to her. But who is she to say if he lies or not.

"Where are we going?" Lucy asked as she held on tight to his waist while they were on his motorcycle. She wanted to wear a helmet but Zancrow never let her he always told her it weak to wear one so she didn't.

"You'll see." he replied simply, obviously still ticked about the Natsu thing.

She wasn't cheating on him with Natsu though.

She didn't love Natsu.

At least not that she knew of.

Lucy took a deep breath in. Normally when Zancrow was mad and brought her to places it wasn't good. At least not for her. Last time he saw her talking to another guy at the book store he brought her to a bar with really horny guys then left her alone to flirt with other girls.

Flirting with other girls?

How come he was allowed to do that but Lucy wasn't allowed to talk to other guys.

Last time she asked why he did that he said he likes "a variety of girls." So maybe Lucy likes a variety of guys, can she not flirt with them too?

Heck who was Lucy kidding she had no idea what she liked.

She had trusted Zancrow to tell her what she likes.

But why?

Why should she trust him?

What has he ever done for her?

She sighed deeply to herself. She had those thoughts many times. She always knew the answer.

It was because she had no one else to turn to.

All her friends left. Her mother was dead. Her father ignored her, causing her to run away. Her coworkers pretend that she doesn't exist.

But now there was Natsu.

Natsu, who was no longer just on a computer screen.

Could she trust him?

Or was he just another one of the people in her life who left.

"We're here." Zancrow said as he parked the motorcycle in two parking spaces. Lucy got off the bike without asking about the two parking spaces, she knew better then to ask too many questions when he's in this mood.

Lucy's eyes widened when she saw the sign to where they were.

"Gentleman's Club" (A.k.a strippers club)

000

Lucy sighed as she watched Zancrow make out with a random brunette he found. She honestly got tired of seeing her boyfriend kiss other women, but who was she to judge.

Suddenly a pair of hands touched her shoulder and she looked behind her to see a guy, a very drunk guy at that.

"Heyyyy sexyyyyyyyyyyy aren't you supposed to beeeeeeeeeeeeee up there?" he asked slurring on his words then pointed at the stage where random girls from the audience went up and stripped.

Lucy shook her head no quickly and tried to move away from the man as she noticed he kept staring at her chest.

She glanced at Zancrow hoping he would help, but when he was mad at her he stopped protecting her from horny and drunk guys. Instead of making out with the girl like Lucy thought he would, he spoke up.

"He's right Lucy you should be up there." He said simply turning away from the girl he had just recently making out with. Wait what? He wanted Lucy up there?

He wanted Lucy to strip in front of all these people?

In front of all these strangers?

"No..I don't want to." Lucy said shyly.

She was not going up there.

"Did it look like I was asking?" Zancrow growled at her. She shook her head no again. She would not do that.

Suddenly Zancrow grabbed her wrist and started to pull her. She flinched as he touched her bruised wrist.

He pulled her onto the stage and whispered in her ear, angrily "Take it off yourself or I rip it off."

That's when she lost her dignity.

"Gray what are we doing here?" Natsu asked eyeing the sign.

'Gentlemens club'

Geez Gray, he knew he was a pervert but not enough to come to this place.

Unless...

"GRAY DID YOU FINALLY GET A JOB THAT YOUR GOOD AT?" Natsu exclaimed which received him getting a slap in the back of his head.

"No you idiot Erza asked us to meet her here for some reason remember?" Gray said rolling his eyes as he looked around for a parking spot and saw a motor bike parked in TWO spaces.

Heck it didn't even need one parking space.

Some people were just jerks.

"Why this place?" Natsu asked. Unless...

"ERZA GOT A JOB HERE TOO?" Natsu got hit in the back of his head again.

"Idiot...I didn't ask her because she, well she's Erza. She's scarier in real life." Gray said then finally found a parking spot so he took it.

"You okay man?" He asked noticing that Natsu was trying to call a certain somebody...AGAIN.

"She doesn't usually ignore me like this.." Natsu mumbled as they started to walk into the gentleman's club.

"Don't worry she's probably just bu-" Gray started but stopped in his tracks along with Natsu as they saw their (Natu's really) blonde friend.
