XII. BEWITCHINGLY BETTER THAN YOU

PS: So sorry for the late update you guys! I've been sick for the past few days so I wasn't able to write. vampireknight16, happy birthday! I'm writing this chapter especially for ya! (*≧▽≦)

So, let's make this clear, Natsu's not two-timing, they are just friends going out to dinner .. (。・ω・)


Natsu was going about his stuff in the car,

"What are you looking for Natsu?" asked Lucy as she was confused to what he was doing.

"Found it!" Natsu took out a suit (just the top) and put it on.

-"Where are we going Natsu and why are you so dressed-up?"

-"To a hotel"

Lucy blushed to the thought. They were going to a hotel. Her mind filled with wild imaginations. She turned her back a sudden as to not reveal her beat-red face.

"Is this gonna happen now? Is this where it will happen?" she thought.

Suddenly, Natsu tossed her a beautiful black dress.

"Take off your clothes and put it on" he told her with a goofy smile.

"Don't worry orange juice, I'm not gonna peek" he added as he winked at her.

He took his handkerchief and blind-folded himself. He couldn't see anything—it was all too dark.

"I—I'll just change in the hotel" she blushed.

Natsu took his blindfold off. He looked at her; she was still blushing from hearing the word hotel.

"Don't worry orange juice, we'll just eat in the restaurant. I'm not gonna do anything to you" he smiled innocently.

Lucy turned even redder. That was embarrassing. She nodded her head as not to entertain her thoughts. Natsu was brushing hair and Lucy turned to look at him. He combed his bangs down and he unmistakably looked hot! He was busy with his hair that he didn't notice Lucy—dazed. Lucy liked Natsu like that—like the one on stage.

"You okay orange juice?" asked Natsu.

"Uhm, yeah" she said as she collected her composure.

"Guess we're here" he went down first as the driver opened the door.

Lucy followed as she placed her hand on top of Natsu's. Natsu proceeded to the restaurant as Lucy went to the bathroom to change.

"I can't believe he has something like this" she thought.

The dress was a beautiful black silk. The design was simple but sexy. The dress revealed a lot of her back. The front showed her cleavage. It was a V-neck with straps. Lucy went out the cubicle and the mirrors reflected how beautiful she looked.

"I should pin my hair up" she thought.

She exited from the bathroom and went to join Natsu in the restaurant. Natsu was by the wine stands as he held a glass of grape wine in his hand. Lucy looked at him. His back was so firm and looked so manly. His biceps were still visible even if he had the suit on. Lucy gave off a goofy face- me gusta. She then blushed as she can see him semi-side view. (Author: Natsu, why you so darn h0t! O(≧∇≦)O)

She went to him. She slowly patted his shoulder.

"Uhm, Natsu?" she nodded.

He turned to her. His bangs were down. His stare was intense that can melt any girl's heart. He smiled and led her to the table. The waiter gave them each a menu,

"I'll get the Linguine all'aragosta o all'astice and the Fettuccine con Ovoli, Parmigiano e Tartufo Bianco" he ordered with high class poise.

Lucy had a confused look on her face. What the heck was he ordering? She couldn't even pronounce what they were.

"How about you miss?" asked the waiter.

"I—I'll just have the…uhm…what he ordered" she said bashfully.

Natsu found her ignorance cute. He giggled at her.

"What's so funny Natsu?" she got annoyed.

"Nothing, it's just that, you're so funny" he giggled even more.

Natsu excused himself for a while since his phone rang. He went outside to take the call. Lucy was left alone on the table. She looked around her. There were a lot of high-class people around and the smell of expensive food filled the atmosphere. This was her life before—going to hotels and eating expensive dishes. She missed it since her father got sick and the company got bankrupt. She might have missed it but she doesn't want it back yet.

Lucy stood up and turned around to find Ikaruga and Flare Corona (Don't ask me why I used this two. I couldn't think of anyone else.. xD). These girls are models for the Sorcerer Weekly. Lucy defeated them twice when she modeled years back.

"Look how Lucy Heartfilia fell" intimidated Ikaruga.

"Getting all close and stuff to Natsu Dragneel, aren't we?" she added.

"Looks like you couldn't afford any of these stuffs now that's why you're with some rich guy, right?" asked Flare with a grin.

"Do you give him private services, Lucy?" grinned Ikaruga.

Lucy was caught off guard. Her lips won't move. She wanted to cry but not there. She tried to hold it all in. Suddenly,

"Move it" said Natsu as he put his hand on Ikaruga's shoulder.

Natsu was furious. He heard how they insulted Lucy. His stare became more intense. He hates it when girls do that.

"Lucy's not a cheap whore like you" he added.

"What was that?! Even if you're a famous star, I'm still gonna tell the manager on you!" exclaimed Ikaruga.

"Go on, tell him. You're already looking at the nephew of the owner of this hotel" Natsu said proudly.

Pissed off and ashamed, the two girls headed off. Lucy's tears fell onto the ground as she tries to wipe them with her hands. Natsu tried to comfort her. He held her on her shoulders,

"Hey orange juice, stop crying" he told her.

"Don't take it seriously. You're a lot better than them" he added as he gave her a smile.

Lucy looked up to him. Their eyes met- her eyes were still beautiful even if she cried. Natsu blushed a little. He can't help being bewitched by her.
