"One tall cappuccino please."

"Right away Ma'am."

Lucy Heartfilia was currently standing in front of the counter as she waited for her coffee. Her eyes briefly looked up at the menu on the wall and onto her surroundings. There were only three persons inside the cafe including her. One was wearing a long polo shirt with a loose tie reading a newspaper. The other was a guy around her age and was currently sitting at her favourite corner.

She humped in annoyance that someone actually dared to sit on her couch. It's true her name wasn't written anywhere on it but she sure as hell has every right in the world to claim that seat as her own. That spot has always been hers ever since she bought her first cup of coffee in FT Cafe.

Lucy's trail of thoughts was halted when she smelled her coffee before her. She hastily grabbed her purse and laid down the exact amount of money for her drink.

"Thank you Ma'am! Enjoy your coffee."

As Lucy prepared to leave the Cafe, she looked back again at the guy. It was then that she noticed his ridiculously pink hair. She giggled to herself and went out of the door.

No wonder he took my place, his pink hair would stand out anywhere.

The next day, when Lucy came to the Cafe to get her drink, she immediately looked at her couch to find it empty. A smile crept up on her face as she happily placed her order on the counter. Finally, she could enjoy her drink today.

After two minutes of waiting for her coffee to be prepared, she heard the door swept open and saw Pinky (yes, he deserved such a nickname) breezed across the floor and settled on her chair again.

Her eyes stared at him as he walked before her eyes. He was not the prince charming type but he's definitely one of the cutest guys she's seen. He looked more like the bad-boy type who was sweet on the inside - probably because of his pink hair.

When he suddenly turned his head, her eyes met his for a few seconds before he averted his gaze.

It was silly but Lucy found herself blushing.

Pinky was definitely cute.

The following day, she found him sitting again on her chair. Irked by what she saw, she finally asked the Barista about him.

"Who's that guy in the corner?"

The girl shook her head and said "I don't know ma'am, but he never orders any drinks and just sits over there."

"Oh." Lucy was now starting to think that maybe Pinky was probably some crook on the loose or something.

"But you know what ma'am?"

"Hm?" Lucy nodded her head in response.

"A few seconds after you leave, he would rise from his seat and go out of the door. Here's your coffee ma'am."

Lucy took the coffee and silently thought about what the Barista said.

I should observe him for a few more days.

The seventh time Lucy caught Pinky sitting on her seat. She certainly wasn't mistaken. The guy probably had a thing for her or was simply a stalker.

Every single day she tried to ask the Barista about him but all she got was the same answer. She knew she shouldn't be excited about it but after seeing him and irking her for seven days, Lucy found herself liking the guy a bit.

And so, as she placed her order, she decided that today was the day she'd talk to him and straightened things out.

The moment she took hold of her coffee, she briskly walked over to him and laid her cup on the table.

"Hi." Lucy said in her sweetest voice.

Said Pinky turned his head and gave her a goofy smile.

"Hello."

His voice was very manly and soothing to her ears and soon, Lucy felt her cheeks redden at his voice.

"I noticed that you were sitting on this chair for the whole week, and I need you to know that its irritating because I usually sit here after I get my coffee, so why the hell are you sitting here when in fact you're not even drinking anything?" When the first words got out of her mouth, Lucy found herself unable to stop her rant. She kept her thoughts for six freaking days and it felt good to let it all out.

After a few heartbeats, the man in front of her gave out a hearty laugh.

Why the hell is he laughing?

Finally, when he stopped, he reached out his hand and took hers in a friendly shake.

"I'm Natsu and I'm glad you finally noticed."

Lucy was at first stunned by his words but she finally let out a smile.

"I'm Lucy." She shook his hand in return and finally let go.

The blonde settled on the opposite chair before she pried open her cup. She took her first sip of coffee and looked at him again. "Oh and next time, a cup of Cappuccino would be nice."

Natsu smiled at her and leaned in a little closer. "You know what's perfect after a cup of coffee?"

"What?"

"A stroll on the park."

And it was then that Lucy realized that she found herself a date. Excitement ran through her and soon she was thinking about what to wear tomorrow.

Today was definitely the best day of her life.
