It almost time for me to leave my dad's house so this will probably be the last update is possibly months, or at least until I get my laptop fixed for school. Sigh, you guys are probably thinking I'm updating too much ^^'. Well too bad!

Lucy and Natsu are going to have a long conversation that is very mature so for those who can't stand sexual conversations I advise you to skip that scene. I will give a warning to where it starts. But with a story about a player, you should know what to expect when you read it so… yeah - _ -

I forgot to mention in previous chapters I don't own Fairy Tale cause if I did, Lucy and Natsu would've been married and had at least 5 babies from the time the GMG arc ended and the dragons were gone.

Also, it's my first attempt at writing a club scene so correct me if I wrote something wrong.

Previously on L.A.P…

Her blonde hair fell down to her shoulder and her bangs drop over her face. "Lucy? So it was you"

Yup, it's official. This was just not my night.

xXxOxXx

"H – How'd you know it was me?" Lucy asked with wide eyes. Mira simply smiled. "The jacket"

Ah, of course... the jacket, aka the gift she gave me.

"So your name's Luigi!"

"It's Lucy! L-U-C-Y!" she hissed while glaring at him. "How does Lu-cy and Lui-gi sound alike? Is Luigi even a name?"

"It's super Mario's brother's name"

"I don't know who that is" He looked to see if she was joking but she had a plain look on her face. "Who's Mario. Is he a pizza boy or something?"

…

"Yeah so, how do you two know each other?" he quickly changed the subject. Made no sense explaining who a fictional character featured in video games was to this woman.

"We work at the same hospital" He shapes his mouth into a small 'o' before saying, "That's cool. So you're a nurse like Mira then?"

"Hmm" was her response.

Rumble.

Natsu groaned and held in stomach. "Mira, please tell me you got more food saved up somewhere 'cause I know you wouldn't leave me starving like this. We have history"

"I'll be back with some fried barbeque chicken and fries. Sit tight, this won't take long"

She went to the back, leaving the pinkette and blonde alone. "Make sure their spicy!" he yelled at the last minute. Lucy slumped on the barstool and sighed. Out of all the people to run into in a bar, it had to be Mira; my head nurse. She probably thinks I'm a party girl now; I'd rather go out to the club than work my job. Oh – I'm so fired.

Her eyes roam around the room. She just noticed how dark it was in here and her eyes had already adjusted to it. The place was overcrowded! There are multicolored flashing lights on the dance floor, but they are not bright enough to reach beyond that. The clinking of glasses and drone-like chatter of hundred best friends and ex lovers were overpowering the music. The intermingled smells of smoke and sweat instantly assaulted her nostrils as she inhaled deeply. So this is what a club looks like.

"So," Natsu started, trying to break the ice. "tell me about yourself, Lucy"

"There's really not much to say"

"Just tell me something. Anything"

"Well, I'm blonde, my eyes are brown, I'm Japanese and I really want you to go find some chick on the dance floor to play with so you could leave me alone. How's that?"

"Not really much since I know all those things, except for the last one. How about you be that lucky chick and dance with me"

"That sounds nice but how are you gonna leave me alone if I go with you?"

"Then I could just stay here"

"Great, then I'll just go over there"

He smirked. She's playing hard to get. I like that. It doesn't hurt to have a good challenge every now and then. Most women would just jump into my arms and beg me to hold them but this one, she's tough.

"Why not flirt with that girl over there, she giving you the eye"

"I'd much rather stay here. So I can flirt and get to know you." The blonde scoffed as he sat down beside her. Natsu cocked an eyebrow at her. "What?"

"I'm sorry, last time I checked you wanted nothing to do with me, remember? Besides, I don't look all that good to flirt with"

"Do you know what'd look good on you?"

"No. What?"

"Me"

"Dear Lord, please tell me you're not doing this?"

"Do you eat tacos?

"Yes, why?"

"Because my Taco Bell is open"

"You're disgusting"

"But I want to give myself to you"

"Sorry, I don't accept cheap gifts"

"Come on babe, don't be shy. Ask me out! You know you want to"

"Okay, get out!"

"I'm not trying to impress you or anything, but... I'm Batman!"

"Seriously? You couldn't come up with something better?"

"Can you blame a guy for trying?"

Lucy sighed and crossed her leg over the other. "You're not gonna stop are you?"

"Nope"

"Tell me something, why are you using cheap pick up lines on me when you have a girlfriend?"

He burst into a fit of laughter, startling the poor blonde and getting unwanted attention from people close to them. Lucy felt embarrassed. "What's so funny?"

"Girlfriend? You thought that whore was my girlfriend. What a joke" he wiped the fake tears from the corner of his eye.

"Eh? But she is, isn't she? And why are you calling her a whore?" He stops laughing instantly. "Should I call her a slut instead? That girl has slept around with so many guys; she can't even keep her legs closed anymore. Do you really think someone like that would be considered a girlfriend? Maybe a sex friend but definitely not a girlfriend"

"But she looks like a nice girl"

"Don't let appearances fool you. She may seem sweet on the outside but on the inside she's a sex crazed harpy. She does it just for the fun of it"

"So do you. What makes you different? You even wanted to do a threesome, at least she does it one guy at a time"

"First: I'm a guy so that's normal in most people's eyes and two: how would you know what she does? You don't know her like I do to say that"

"Well if you knew, why would you have sex with her then?"

"Because she seemed like the perfect girl at the time to fuck"

"That's a stupid reason! Is every woman like a sex object to you?"

"Only if they want it."

Lucy was about to raise her hand to strike him when she stopped herself. Calm down Lucy. This is the very same guy who helped you keep your chastity from getting stolen to a sadistic neighbor. Be grateful to him.

Taking heavy breaths to cool herself down she looked back to him with a serious face. "You shouldn't do that Natsu-san. You're degrading and disrespecting women when you use them for sex"

"If the woman allows that to happen to her, does she really deserve any respect?"

Lucy's tongue tied on that. She couldn't argue with him, not after he made a valid point like that. It took her now to notice that the childish and playful glint in his onyx eyes was replaced with cold ones. She tried not to feel intimidated by him but her body wouldn't listen to what her mind said. She was trembling. Where's the cheerful bastard that was here just a few moments ago?

"It takes two people to have sex, Luce. And unless its rape, the woman has a choice whether to do it or not. So why would she willingly allow herself to be used?" He sighs and leans over the counter. Lucy watches his every move. "I guess I'm at fault too. But I can't help but feel the way I feel about women…"

"How many?" she interrupts.

He turns to her quizzically. "What?"

"How many girls have you slept with?" she repeats clearly.

"Uh, I don't keep count Luce"

"Okay, well on a range of 10 to-"

"Higher"

"20-"

"Keep going"

"30?"

"A little lower"

"25?"

"26, Miss"

"Y – You've fooled around with 26 women?"

"Make it 27 if you come home with me tonight" he winked. "Hey, is your eye okay? It keep twitching every 2 seconds"

"You player"

"Sue me" he can't help but smirk at the look on her face. She looks like a ripe tomato.

Mira comes back with his food on a tray. She sets it in front of him and he immediately digs in. "I'm sorry Lucy, would you like anything to eat or drink?"

"I'm good. Thanks anyway"

"Ara, are you okay Lucy. Your face is red?"

Crap. "I'm probably just catching a cold. Outside was pretty windy"

"I could warm you up" Natsu offered.

"I'd rather freeze to death"

Mira laughed and pulled a mug full of beer out for Natsu.

"Fire whisky?"

"Yup"

"Sweet" he took a few gulps of his beer.

"I never thought I'd see you in a place like this, Lucy"

"Same here. Why are you here though?"

"I work here from time to time when I'm off at the hospital. This gives me something to do, plus put a little money in my pocket"

"Wow that sounds fun – okay, I'm sorry!"

"F – For what now?"

"Please don't tell the hospital I came to the club when I called in sick today. I'm begging you, please Mira-san! I don't want to lose my job, I love being a nurse!" she sobbed. Mira sweat dropped and pats her shoulder lightly. "Calm down Lucy. I'm not gonna say a word, I promise. Between you and me, I'm not even supposed to be working here. I might get into trouble for this if someone catches me here. So in a way, we're both in the same boat"

"Point taken" she gets up from her seat. "Well, it's been fun and all but I have to get home to a hungry cat before he starts eating my couch or something. See you guys later"

"Wait!" Mira stopped her. "Let Natsu walk you home, it's dangerous late at night"

"That's okay, I can handle – "

"I'm sure you can, but just to be safe, let him walk you home anyway"

"But Mira-san – "

"Let. Him walk. You home." A dark aura was heavily radiating from her, causing both Lucy and Natsu to flinch in fear.

Note to self: Always obey Mira and never argue with her; you've lost the argument before it even begun. "Let's go then, shall we?"

"H – Hai!" Natsu saluted.

xXxOxXx

Hope you enjoyed the chapter.

Is it weird that my story doesn't show Lucy working in the hospital? It'll get there eventually, but I wonder if I should've started off with Natsu getting injured then meeting Lucy. But that would've been boring and I wanted my story to be different from the others. And I just noticed these chapters are getting pervy every time I read them over. I'm a naughty girl O/O

Oh well, hooray for creativity! Follow, fav and review!
