A/N: Holy crap, thank you everyone for reviewing and showing me support! I cannot even begin to tell you how much I appreciate every single word. So, I wanted to do a few shout outs just to let you guys know how much I love ya!

VictoriaFirewraith: Thank you for the support, and for liking my story! I was really happy to add a little GaLe in here, too, so I'm glad you liked that haha. I plan on doing a little section with them in this chapter or the next. Hope you like it!

ElyseexD: I have to say LaLu is one of my favorite couples, besides GaLu. But as you'll find out in later chapters.. Natsu is a little confused. I won't ruin anything just yet, bwahaha. Thank you for the support, and I hope you like this chapter!

GoldenOwls: My beta, who I should actually send my chapters to, but I get so excited to put them up I forget. Haha. I cannot thank you enough for your words of encouragement and letting me bounce ideas off of you, along with all of the advice. Thank you so much!

Kandilandqueen1429: I PMed you, but still, I wanted to add you in here just because it's nice to know someone can relate. It pisses me off that some people are just cruel on here, but you have to take the good with the bad sometimes. I honestly hope you keep writing and ignore the losers that will try and keep you down, because it's obvious that they are jealous. Thank you for the long review, they always make me happy!

GingerLily01: If I ever get anything wrong with any of the bartending scenes, please let me know! But thank you for liking this, I hope this next piece will be as good as the others. Thank you for the review!

Guest: I don't plan on any hearts being broken, just some very disappointed men. But everything is happening for a reason, so hopefully that helps. Thank you for the amazing review!

Celtika82: I never really like Lisanna, so it made me happy to make her a complete bitch in this series. I do feel bad for our favorite flame brain though. :( Thank you for reviewing, and I hope you like the rest of the series. Also, thank you for the corrections! I'm trying to read the rest of the manga now so I know what the differences between the Edo people and non-edo people.

Exo-Toxicimpulse: So far I have added a chapter every day since I posted the first one.. I can't seem to get this story out of my head! I'm sincerely happy you like this, and I just wanted to thank you SO much for your support. You rock!

Basically, thank you everyone that has helped keep me coming back to this site.

I wanted to add two little side notes as well, so here they are.

Most of this story will be told through Lucy's POV. She's the main character. But there will be pieces of other characters POV's as well.

2) I just don't like Lisanna. And so, in this story she is pretty much a nutjob. Please don't hate me if you're a fan of hers! D:

Let's get down to the fourth chapter!

XXXXXXXX

Hiro Mashima owns the Fairy Tail universe. But maybe if I give him candy, he'll give me Laxus and Gajeel. Hmm…

XXXXXXXX

Chapter Four: Such A Tease

Lucy's POV

Laxus stood in front of me, leaning against my doorframe with a bundle of flowers in his hand. His signature smirk was fixed on his lips, and his blue-ish gray eyes were raking up and down my body slowly. I could feel his gaze on my skin, and it made me blush. He was dressed in a pair of dark jeans, tight enough to show a hint of muscle but still loose enough so they weren't skintight. A black dress shirt was unbuttoned completely with the sleeves rolled up his forearms, a white tee shirt under it.

To be blunt, he looked amazing.

But that still didn't tell me where Sawyer was.

I tilted my head and narrowed my eyes at him, grabbing the flowers from his out reached hand. I turned around to head back to the kitchen and I heard his footsteps following me. Without looking over my shoulder at him, I finally asked.

"Where's Sawyer? You didn't tie him up in a trunk or anything, right?"

I was answered with a chuckle. I made quick work of cutting the ends off of the flowers and putting them in a vase. I put the vase on my kitchen table before I looked at him again. He was leaning up against a wall now, arms crossed and eyes tracking my movements. Walking over to my counter I copied his pose, a frown tugging at my lips.

"Nah, his mom is sick so he had to take care of her. He was going to text you, but his phone mysteriously disappeared." He replied, and he moved a hand to slowly slide a phone halfway out of his pocket so I could see. I started laughing when he slid it back in.

"Oh, is she alright? Maybe we could bring her some soup!" I shook my head, smiling. "I think I have everything here we need to make it except some meat. Do you think she'd want chicken noodle or some stew?" I knew I was babbling, but I loved cooking, and this way I could see both Sawyer and Laxus. A tiny pang of guilt made my stomach flutter, but I squashed it down. They were both handsome, both charming in completely different ways. Sawyer seemed sweet and sensitive, and the fact he needed to cancel our date to take care of his sick mother made me like him more. I couldn't bring myself to get mad at him for it. I would have done the same.

"I think she'd like that. She'd probably prefer chicken noodle over anything – that woman loves her chicken."

Laxus, on the other hand, was cocky, arrogant, and way too self-assured. He had stolen his cousin's phone so he could come and surprise me, and when I mentioned the soup his eyes lit up. I could tell he obviously held the woman in very high regards, which only made me want to do this more. That showed he had a sweet side, and that was a side I very much wanted to see. Plus after him kissing me last night, the thought of cooking so close to him made my body get tingly.

"We'll have to go to the store then. Would you mind running and getting some, so I can stay here and prepare all the veggies?" I stuck my bottom lip out and rolled my eyes up at him, giving him my best puppy-dog-eyes. The face made him burst out laughing again.

"We'll do that when we get back. I want to spend as much time as I can with my future baby momma after all." He was not going to let that go. I raised a hand to my forehead and sighed, shaking my head. I was already dressed to head out anyways, so why not?

"Yeah, whatever. Let's go, Sparky."

We left my apartment and began the trek to the grocery store. It wasn't too far, but I was thankful I had changed out of my heels and into my boots before we headed out.

Taking a left in front of my apartment building, we were silent for the first few minutes. I could feel him trying to sneak glances at me while he kept his face straight. A few times I'd turn my head and catch him, which would make him chuckle. The silence wasn't awkward or strained at all – it felt natural, which was weird. I'd only known the man for a day or two now, but being in his presence actually relaxed me. That was, unless I was ogling him, which I tended to do a lot. Then the relaxation left my body and was replaced with pure want for the hulking man. And let's be honest, I ogled him quite a bit.

We were about half way there when I suddenly felt a hand tugging on my wrist, and before I knew what was happening I was in another alley. Thank God that this one was clean and not nearly as smelly as they usually are.

Laxus twisted me against him so my chest was against his before he leaned down and smashed his mouth against mine. It all happened within seconds, so I was still processing all the information going on around me. My back hit the wall and that was when I stopped trying to process and just kissed him back.

My god, Laxus was a great kisser.

He slanted his head so he had better access as he ran his tongue over my bottom lip. I opened up to him, inviting his tongue to come and play with mine. His hands were on my ass as he lifted me up again, letting me wrap my legs securely around him before his hands started wandering. Using the wall and his body to prop me up, one hand started sliding back and forth on one leg, while the other grabbed my hip and started to slide up. I arched my back as soon as his hand reached my ribcage, the fabric on my dress thin enough so I could feel him clear as day.

My arms wrapped around his neck and carded through his hair, bringing his handsome face closer to mine. Our lips separated for a few seconds as we caught our breath, and both of our eyes were glued to the others.

"You're so goddamn sexy, Lucy. I've been thinking about doing this since I saw you," He grumbled as he started to kiss a path from my jaw to my neck. He found a sensitive spot right under my ear and he nipped at it, making me moan and clutch onto his hair.

"You're not so bad yourself, Sparky," I laughed breathily, head back as he kept paying attention to that one area. His hand on my ribs inched closer to my breasts, and when he finally slid his hand home I arched into his touch.

"Get a room, love birds." We both froze when we heard an old man laughing, going back in a door about ten feet away from us. Of course this would happen again.

I leaned my forehead against his and groaned in frustration, my hands loosening their hold against his silky locks. He gently dropped me down so I was standing and looking up at him, and his expression matched mine.

He sighed and grabbed my hand, lacing my fingers with his as we began our walk to the store once more.

"Maybe next time we can go somewhere no one would find us. It sucks walking with a huge tent in your pants." Laxus nearly growled, and I looked down to see his member pretty clearly through his pants. It was sticking up, and I knew if I lifted his shirt just a tad bit.. I could see the head.

I stumbled at the thought, my head dizzy and face flaming. Just a thought of him made me feel like I was going to explode with lust if I didn't get him into my bed as fast as I could. Or I could get into his bed.. Or we could use a table.. Or against the wall.

I was nearly panting at the mental images racing through my head.

"You okay, babe?" He asked, tilting his head back so he could see me. Concern flickered through his eyes fast enough where I didn't know if I had imagined it or it had actually been there.

"Yeah, yeah. Just a little," I coughed into my hand, trying to hide my embarrassment, "flustered." My heart rate was going through the roof, and before I knew it, I pushed myself up against him and kissed him again. His lips felt so soft against mine, and the instant I was against him he wrapped his arms around my waist. I could feel his grin against my near desperate mouth and I let a small groan out.

I pushed myself away as quickly as I had pulled myself in, and walked the rest of the way to the store with a flush on my face. He walked behind me chuckling, but whenever I looked back at him, I could see a faint pink stain on his cheeks. It was nice to know that I wasn't the only one affected.

We bought a package of chicken breasts and walked home hand in hand, talking here and there every few minutes. It was nice, and when we finally got to my apartment he was the perfect gentleman. I half expected one of us to jump the other's bones as soon as the door was locked.

After we had taken our shoes off and I had washed my hands, I started chopping up carrots, celery, and onions. He leaned against the counter and watched me, mere inches away. If I had to go to the refrigerator, I'd pass him and he'd put his hand up so he could brush my hand lightly. Simple gestures like that made me wonder if he just wanted a roll in the hay, or something more. I knew without a doubt he was interested – His kisses and touches always felt as desperate as mine. I was chopping the last carrot as I glanced in his direction and found him staring intently at my ass. I couldn't help but smile at the complete concentration he was paying it.

"I want to know more about you, Shorty." His eyes flicked up to meet mine before going to look at my backside again, completely unabashed that I knew he was doing so. I made sure whatever I did I swung my hips a bit more than I'd usually just so he'd have a show. I bit the inside cheek to stop myself from grinning.

"Well, what do you wanna know?" I asked, picking up the diced carrots and depositing them into the pot.

"Anything, everything." Came his quiet reply.

"Hm. Well, I'm 22, and I'm going to MU next semester. I'm a Celestial Spirit mage, and I have most of the zodiac keys. They were handing down to me from my mom who passed away when I was younger. You met most of my friends last night at the diner or when they were uh," I giggled and blushed, grabbing the thaw chicken so I could cut that up, "interrupting us. That was Natsu by the way, I can't remember if I even introduced you two. I probably didn't."

"I've seen him around. Your whole house smells like him, he come here that much?"

"He used to before he met his now ex girlfriend. Last night he stayed over because he was feeling down, and he likes my bed."

"He sleeps in your bed? You banging the dude? I'm not into sharing girls like that, sorry." He was growling, and I turned to look at him with wide eyes. I could feel my anger bubbling throughout my body. Did I look like I was such a tramp?

"I'm not seeing anyone nor sleeping with anyone at the moment. I'm not that type of girl." I snapped, rolling my eyes and turning back to the chicken. I kept slicing but my movements were jerky, and it didn't help that I could feel his stupid gaze on my back.

"I never thought you were. I just, ah fuck," I could hear him shuffling around behind me but I refused to look back. I just kept slicing the breast into bite-sized portions. I tensed when I felt him pressed against my back, and his arms carefully sliding around my waist. He could see me gripping the butcher's knife and laughed, nuzzling his head into my shoulder. He all but whispered the as he continued. "You get me all mixed up inside, and the thought of you with the pink haired guy or even fucking Sawyer drives me nuts. I want you, I want your body and your mind, and I don't want to share. I want to destroy anyone that comes near you. I don't understand why I feel like this, I don't think I've ever felt this possessive of a person I just met."

He sighed as I dropped the knife and leaned back fully into him. My head leaned against his shoulder and my ass was firmly pressed against the front of my hips, and all I could think about was what he just told me.

I took a minute to put myself in his shoes; what if me and my cousin (or friend, I don't have any family left that I know of) were interested in the same guy. What if she had asked him out, and that same night I ended up making out with him? All the scenarios pushed through my head, making me pout.

Even the mere thought of some random girl making a move on him got on my nerves. So, I said as much. "I don't like the idea of some girl asking you out or another sleeping with you, either. It's making me jealous, even though I made the situation up in my head." I could feel his smile against my neck before he let go.

"Get that all on the oven." He ordered, his voice deepening and coming out slightly rough.

I did what he said, rewashed my hands, and turned to him. "We just need to let it cook together for about 45 minutes, and then we can bring it over!" Smiling at him, I started to clean the kitchen.

"Deal. But I can think of something better to do in 45 minutes than clean, babe." He smirked before picking me up by the waist and walking towards my bedroom.

XXXXXXXXX
