Chapter 2
"Here it is." Jellal turned to see the two girls that are following him. He narrowed his eyes. "Where's.. Lucy?"
Erza turned her back and saw no one behind her. She walked towards the entrance of the hallway where they came from and looked from side to side but no trace of Lucy. "Let's head back. I think we left her there."
They both ran fast back to where the people are dancing, some were eating and the band was performing.
Silence.
It was odd when they enter. Everyone's eyes were at the far back end of the hall. Then there was it.
SLAP
It echoed throughout the whole hall. And then there was yelling. Erza knew who owns that voice even if she couldn't understand what the words meant she knew it was Lucy's.
"PERVERT!" Lucy said backing away from the guy who kissed her.
The guy and everyone around were shocked with the slap that echoed throughout the hall. But the guy smiled and turned back to Lucy. "What? You're not thankful I kissed you?"
"Why would I? I don't even know you!"
The guy stared at her in disbelief. Same as all of the people around them. He smirked. "How come you don't know me? I'm the vocalist of Fairy Law. Natsu?"
"I don't care who you are. I'll call the police for sexual harassment." But before Lucy could dial Erza came and grabbed her phone. "ERZA?! I NEED TO CALL THE POLICE. THIS GUY HERE KISSED ME."
"I'll handle him. The last thing you need is be on the news, right?" Lucy just nodded and she let Erza handle the situation.
"So do you also want a kiss?" Natsu asked with a devilish smile.
Lucy was about to punch him when Jellal stood in front of them and faced Natsu. "Back off." He said in an angry voice.
"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh." It was heard from the crowd when Jellal stepped in front of the two girls.
"Easy Jellal." Natsu said waving his hand in front of him. "Is this the girl you're talking about?"
"Yeah. So back off."
"What? The red or the blonde?"
"The redhead." Natsu smirked and relaxed his face.
"As expected." Natsu said. Jellal gestured for the other band members to continue playing. He then pulled Natsu to backstage and asked Lucy and Erza to follow.
When they reached the room backstage he pulled Natsu inside and let the two girls enter before her closed the door. "What did you do this time?"
"This pervert here kissed me!" Lucy shouted in anger. They all looked at her.
"Sorry about him Lucy-"
"No he'll pay for this." She said as she stood up and charge to him ready to punch. But Erza hold Lucy and stopped her.
"Lucy.." Lucy stopped and turned to Jellal. "I'll be asking for forgiveness in behalf of Natsu. Please don't bring this to the press."
"Press? Oh I won't I'll be the one in scandal if they'll know this."
"OOOOH. So you're someone then?" Natsu said as he leaned on the couch where Jellal pushed him.
"If I bring this matter to the press it won't even affect you so why would I if I'm the one to be affected?" Lucy growled and shouted at Natsu.
"Won't be affected? Me? I'm the one who should be cautious around here."
Thwack
Erza punched Natsu on the head and made the guy knocked out. The cap on his head was removed when he fell on the couch.
"Pink?" Lucy asked. Her voice was somehow nervous as if something struck her. Her eyes were wide and she stiffened.
"Yes. Why?" Jellal was the one to ask.
"Well it's not common. I-I-Is it natural?"
"Well, he said it was naturally black. But I think he didn't dye it. It catches attention so, it doesn't matter then." Jellal explained.
Lucy relaxed but something about her felt a bit odd and Erza was the only one who noticed it. Why couldn't she? She's Lucy's best friend.
"Anyway, Natsu here will also be affected if the press knew about this. It's a good thing her sis this inside my property. You both are safe. Cameras or any other recording devices are not allowed here." Erza sighed in relief.
"But that doesn't amend with what he has done to me." Lucy said her eyes were covered with her bangs but soon she looked up to them. "He harassed me!"
"It was just his nature. Sorry! He always does this when he feels like it." Jellal shrugged his shoulders hoping for an acceptance of his sorry. "It doesn't really matter right? It was just a kiss.. unless you never kissed anyone?" His way of talking slowed down at the last word and he turned back again to Lucy with eyes wide. Lucy was blushing and her eyes were on the floor.
"Let's not just talk about this okay? Forget everything Lucy. I knocked him out already." Erza pats Lucy's shoulder and waited until she nodded. "Now, change into this so you can move freely."
Lucy head her way to the changing room leaving Erza and Jellal staring at her and Natsu, well he's just there lying still unconscious.
"I-It was her first?" Jellal spoke.
"What do you think? Of course it was. She must have been very depressed by now. She always treasures her firsts."
Jellal was silent. Indeed every girl's first kiss was important to them. It was like their innocence or something like that.
"Like I told you, Lucy always stays at office. She dedicated herself there. She wasn't allowed to play ever since her mom died so she wasn't able to live a life just like a normal teenager would have." Erza explained. They did not know that the unconscious Natsu was now back to life but decided to stay silent and hear them. "This is the first time she went to a place like this. I think she was amazed on how people her age were able to have that much fun. This is the first time Lucy saw someone smoking just 5 meters away from her, saw someone making out on top of a car."
"What boring life." He decided to sit up and comment on what Erza narrated as Lucy's story.
Erza glared at him, which made him cower and hide behind Jellal.
"S-S-Sorr-Sorry!"
"Not to me. To her." At that very moment Lucy entered the room still dusting off invisible dusts from her outfit. They all turned to look at her.
Sensing the stares Lucy looked up and saw three pairs of eyes looking at her. She glared at Natsu, looked at Jellal and finally turned to Erza. "What? Do I look awful? I kne-"
"GORGEOUS!" Erza run towards her and hugged her. Lucy was wearing white tights, white strapless top that hugged her figure perfectly and a black leather jacket. Her black pumps gave her more of the accent.
"I-I did?" Lucy pulled away from Erza to stare at her dress.
"Of course. Silly!" She pulled Lucy towards the door so they could eat. "Jellal? We're heading to eat."
The said boy was stood there blankly but snapped in his trance with Erza's voice. He looked at Natsu and saw him grinning to himself. "If you're planning anything shove it off. She's not any other girl."
"What? Why? I'm just happy I kissed a girl that hot. No regrets man!" He shouted the three words.
"Still I advise you to stay away."
"Why?"
"She's the heiress of Heartfilia Co. she's not just any girl you dated. If you suck at this aga-" But Natsu was out of sight now. "Damn you Natsu!" Jellal shouted and headed back to the hall to find Erza and Lucy standing by the counter looking for food.
"Hey Jellal!" It was Lucy who waved at him. He felt a little happy. Maybe Lucy's starting to trust him now. Good start though. He ran towards them.
"So do you have any food in mind now?" Jellal asked as he reached them.
"It's difficult to choose. I find everything interesting." Lucy answered.
"You get everything you want. Put it on my name." A loud voice spoke. It came from the amplifiers. Lucy, Erza and Jellal turned their heads and saw Natsu looking at them, grinning.
Lucy smiled evilly and turned back to the menu board. "Fine then. I want a piece of everything."
Jellal and Erza's eyes were wide. They blinked, once, twice? Thrice?
"What? So Erza what do you want?"
Erza recovered and answered. "I think I'll share with you."
"What? No waaay. I'm going to pay for you so don't share with what's for me." She smirked.
"Well I'll get the best seller."
Lucy turned to the cashier and smiled. "You got that?"
"Yes ma'am."
"Jellal? You don't want any?"
"No I'm good. I'll just get myself a drink."
"No. I'm on it. Besides, I won't pay for my meal right?" Lucy smiled.
"R-Right."
"So what drinks?"
"Best seller."
"So there's really such thing as best seller?"
"Yes."
"Cool. Well that will be on my order so I guess I could taste it too right?" Jellal nodded and gulped.
"Okay. Then, this way-"
"Wait I haven't paid yet." Lucy turned to the cashier. "The one of everything order will be named to that Pinky. You heard it right?" The cashier nodded and gave her the long receipt. "Their orders would be, here." She handed her credit card to the cashier. And in return the cashier gave her the receipt for Erza and Jellal's orders. "Let's go! I'm starving."
"It'll be served within 5 minutes ma'am."
"Alright. Thanks." And she left with Erza and Jellal.
They went to the second floor, most center table, facing the performing band. The waiters prepared a very long table so that all that has been ordered can be placed. Lucy sat in front of Jellal and Erza, her back facing the stage. Due to Lucy blocking the view, Erza and Jellal moved a sit to the right so Erza could watch. Two waiters stayed at their table so they could serve Lucy the food she wanted to eat.
"Can I have a drink first?"
The waiter went to her and gave her a glass filled with orange liquid. "Ohh that's good. Running and screaming made me go thirsty." Lucy started eating in a very fast but orderly manner. How come that's possible?
"So here's the next song.. it will be dedicated for someone out there who'll definitely experience her firsts with me." That voice again. Lucy grip on her fork tightly.
"Lucy calm down he's just teasing you." Erza tried to calm her down.
"Fine." The she continued munching on her food.
That's odd. Natsu never dedicates a song to anyone. This could be interesting. Jellal thought and smirked to himself while watching Natsu perform on the stage together with the whole band.
"So he's a singer. I see." The couple turned their gazes on Lucy. "I didn't think he was a member of a band. Ha-Ha-Ha." She put another spoon of food inside her mouth and giggled in pleasure of the food going down her stomach. "So is he popular?" Lucy grabbed a glass and drank from it.
Erza's eyes were wide. Jellal couldn't help but laugh.
"What?" Lucy asked dumbfounded.
"Lucy, I thought you knew him?" It was Erza who spoke. "You have some of their songs on your iPod. And I think I saw their album back at your house?"
"I did?" Erza slapped her forehead. "Well I mean, I don't really care about the singers I just want the music."
There was silence.
"So are they popular?"
Jellal couldn't help but laugh again. "Actually Lucy, this band in front of you is the famous Fairy Law."
"Fairy Law? Lame name." Lucy said chuckling a little.
"Lucy.." Erza called her attention. "Jellal here is their manager."
Lucy stopped eating and looked at him. "Sorry! Sorry! I'm really sorry!"
"It's fine.. I understand." Jellal felt like life stepped on him flat.
"Sorry Jellal, Lucy's just a little primitive." Erza said.
"Primitive?!"
"Just kidding Lucy."
Lucy smiled and drank the liquid inside the glass straight.
Because Jellal was unable to speak Erza explained for him. "So, Lucy they are the Fairy Law." Lucy turned her back and saw Natsu wink at her. She immediately looked away and listened to Erza. "Jellal is their manager."
"Yeah. I heard that." Lucy said drinking from another cup.
"I heard they were the most famous band right now."
"So that explains the massive people." Lucy side commented.
"They already travelled across the world for tours and invites to be guest." Erza paused for a while to check on Lucy. She was still eating fast but neat. "They won awards internationally and national. As for now, they were here for rest."
"So they're that amazing huh? Doesn't look like it to me." Lucy glanced at Jellal again and saw him sulk more. She felt guilty. "No. No. No. No! That's not what I meant. I committed a fallacy out there. I'm sorry. I'm not referring to all of you, just this Pinky guy." Lucy feeling thirsty drank another glass.
Jellal cheered up once again and smiled weakly. Lucy still feels guilty. She knew Jellal was a good guy, though she doesn't fully trust him yet. Lucy knew that he was important to Erza so she'll try her best to trust this man with her best friend. She smiled as she thought of something. "Well, I've heard you're quite famous?" Jellal nodded with a little blush on his face. "Then.." She paused for a while just for thrill. "Why don't you play in our hotel?"
Erza was a bit shocked but she smiled after. "R-Really?" Jellal leaned a bit. Lucy nodded and put a food inside her mouth again.
"Erza told me of this another age bracket. Well now that I've think of it I remembered bored teenagers in the hotel the last time I visit so I guess you can play there? That could be a good attraction don't you think?" Lucy said. They felt like Lucy was separating herself from what she called 'teenagers'. But really, she was. Lucy was considering herself more like an adult.
"I think that would be great Lucy." Erza smiled at her. "But is it okay with you? You're going to work with that guy, Natsu."
Lucy suddenly stopped from eating. She stared at Erza with horror in her eyes. She grabbed a drink from the waiter and drank it straight then wipe her mouth with cloth. "Okay, I'll just can-"
"No way you can cancel it now." Five figures appeared at by the stairs and there they saw the Fairy Law band. But it was Natsu who spoke.
"I still can. After all, it's my work."
"You can't."
"And why?" Lucy stared at Natsu glaring.
"Because I already called the press and told them a scoop that we'll perform at your hotel." He smirked and walked towards the table.
Lucy's eyes widen.
"What when did you?" A navy blue haired boy suddenly shouted at Natsu.
"Yeah Natsu when?" Asked a petite blue haired girl.
"I thought we're on vacation now?" A white haired girl appeared and clutched on Natsu's arm.
"But it's going to be fun!" He cheered and walked closer to Lucy, Erza and Jellal causing the white haired girl to loosen her grip on Natsu's arm. "Now that it's aired you cannot back down."
Lucy ignored Natsu and continued eating. Erza and Jellal and now with the Fairy Law band were all amazed on how Lucy gulped all of the food served in front of her. Little by little she finished every plate that was in front of her. "Lucy you could at least slow down a bit."
Just then at the right moment. There seemed to be something stuck on her throat, she gestured for a drink and immediately a waiter gave her one. "WHOOOOOOO I felt like I'm gonna die."
"I told you to slow down." Erza said while watching Lucy.
Lucy continued drinking everything inside the glass until she made a sound that says thirst quenching. "What was this? I never drank something that taste this good. But.. why do.. I feel so.." She giggled. "..dizzy?"
"You mean you don't know what that is?" Jellal asked. Erza turned to her with wide eyes.
"What is it? Poison?" She glared at the last question.
"N-No. Why would I want something like that in my menu? It's just lemonade with Jack Daniel's."
"Jack Daniel's? Why didn't you tell me?" Erza pushed her sit back and run towards Lucy. "She is not drinking alcoholic beverages."
"First time?" Erza nodded. "I thought you knew we only sell alcoholic drinks here."
Erza's eyes widen more if that was even possible. "So you mean? All of the thing she drank were.."
"Yes. I guess. I didn't know. I'm sorry." Jellal stood up and walked to where they were.
Natsu chuckled. "She really is something." He mumbled and walked closer he grabbed Lucy's hand and placed it in front of her chest.
"What are you doing?" Erza asked.
"Helping a drunken woman." He said as he put his arms just below Lucy's shoulders supporting her back and the other behind her distal thigh. With not much effort he lifter her from her seat and cradled her on his arms. Lucy then snuggled on his chest which made him smile. "So, where to take her?"
"I'll drive her home. Just put her on my truck."
"But Erza you're also drunk." Jellal said holding her by the shoulders.
"Then tell me where she lives I could drop her there." Natsu said with a smile.
"Oh no. I'm not leaving Lucy alone with you." Erza struggled. "Put her inside my truck. I can handle."
"But I won't agree. Well let's just do this. Gray? Levy?" Jellal called for the other band members.
"Yes?" The blue haired girl named Levy asked.
"Go with Natsu and make sure he won't do anything funny."
"Why do I have to come with this pink man?" The navy blue haired man retorted.
"You wanna go stripper?" Natsu said ignoring where Lucy might bump.
"Idiot! Don't move like that! You might hurt her!" Erza said angrily.
Natsu immediately stopped. He felt the wrath of the girl so he better follow. "Okay. I'll trust Lucy with you." Erza walked towards Levy and gave her her number. "Please call me when you arrived there. Also she lived at Viewpoint Tower D top floor room 1012."
"She lived in a unit? Viewpoint?" Natsu asked again smiling. "I was sooooo lucky! Lucky! Lucky! Lucky!"
Everyone looked at him confused. "What? It's nothing." They ignored him knowing what he say were just pure nonsense.
"Anyway, thank you very much." Erza said quite weakly. She also drank quite a lot. "Please be careful with her. Okay?" Levy nodded. "Oh right." She grabbed Lucy's bag and searched for her keys. "Here's the key to her house. When you leave, put it on top of her fridge right part facing the fridge."
"How come you know all this?" Natsu asked.
"Well, I'm supposed to be called her best friend. And one last thing, don't mess with her things. She doesn't want any mess in her house." Erza looked at Natsu because he seemed to be the troublemaker.
"I'll handle things perfectly!" Levy said saluting at Erza. Erza smiled at her and turned away with Jellal. "Now we go!"
Unknown to them was someone, clenching a fist until their white.
