Hello readers! I am officially on April vacation so I am able to post more chapters for you guys! I'm so happy that so many people are following my story. The beginning of this chapter is more of a Natsu monologue, but I think you guys will like it (hopefully). Hope you guys like the new chapter and don't forget to leave a comment (I really like seeing reviews!) P.S. Some of you have been asking to to post longer chapters so here it is. It's over 2,000 words! Woohoo! (haha).
Natsu's POV (yesterday)
I saw the nerd and the bookworm getting into a slick, black limo. The car looked more expensive than the ones my family owns. I got into my red ferrari and started following them out of curiosity. The path they were driving was very familiar to me. As I followed longer, I realized that it was the way to Lucy's house. But how do they know Lucy and what are their relationship with her? Maybe they had something to do with the jacket placed in front of my locker as Gray had mentioned earlier? Soon enough, the limo arrived at the huge mansion and was let through big gates. I waited outside to see when they will start moving again. I waited hours outside of the mansion, but still no sign of the nerd and bookworm. After getting tired of waiting, I gave up and went home. I'm going to have to question those two at school tomorrow.
Waiting in front of the huge mansion, reminded me of Lucy. Every since I attended Lucy's party a few days ago, she's been on my mind the whole time. I know it sounds corny, but I never felt this way about anyone before. The fact that she still hasn't texted or called me after I gave her my number makes me feel a little uneasy inside. Does she not like me?
The day I went to the party, I had plans to find her secrets and ruining her company. But after meeting her, I completely forgot about those thoughts. She's a kind and genuine person that makes it hard for me to take advantage of her. In a way, she changed me as a person. She runs the company by herself, while I abandon my duties to do worthless things. She changed the perspective I see things. Although we only met for one night, I'm glad that I was able to meet her.
Lucy's POV (present)
It was a normal day. I was in class sitting next to Levy, still in my nerd facade. The teacher was teaching about fundamental things necessary in order to run a company. Normal schools usually wouldn't have these type of classes, but since students here are heirs to big companies, this class is absolutely essential. However, since I have been running my own company for nearly five years already, this class has no use for me. Midway though the lesson, the door slammed open, and three people walked into the classroom. It was the 'Dragons'. Late as usually. The teacher was screaming at them for being late, but they just shrugged it off like usual. I looked back at them and from the corner of my eye, I can see Natsu staring at me. I looked at him for a little while before diverting my attention back to the teacher. For the rest of the class, I could feel eyes staring into the back of my head and it made me feel uncomfortable. I began wiggling in my seat due to nervousness. Levy noticed and asked what was wrong, but I gestured that I was okay. It was a good thing that class went by fast because I needed to get away from those glares. I told Levy to go to lunch first since I needed to use the bathroom. I quickly walked into the bathroom and splashed water on my face. Was Natsu actually staring at me, or is it all part of my imagination? I wiped my face with a paper towel before I walked out of the bathroom. As I walked out, I see Natsu leaning on the wall waiting for me. One leg was on the wall while his hands were stuffed into his pockets.
"We need to talk" he said nonchalantly.
"A-about what?" I asked nervously. Natsu took steps and walked closer to me, making me clench my fists due to nervousness. I could feel sweat forming in my hands.
"Why were you at Lucy's house yesterday?" he questioned. I quickly realized that he must of followed "me" and Levy when we were in the limo yesterday. I had to quickly come up with a lie to cover my identity.
"I-I don't know what your talking about" I shuddered. I tried to look away, but his deep onyx eyes held me in place.
"Don't lie to me. I saw you clearly with my own eyes" He stared intensely at me. Every step he took closer, I took one step back. Soon I was backed into a wall. He put his hands over my head to prevent me from escaping. I was scared. "Now tell me what you were doing" he demanded.
"Fine, but only if you get off me" I said reluctantly. He backed off.
"Now explain" he ordered.
"Levy and I met Lucy at her party and became friends, so she invited us over. That's all" I lied. "Now that I have answered your question, I'll be taking my leave" I tried to walk off quickly, but a hand grabbed my wrist forcing me to stop in my tracks.
"If your friends with Lucy, then can you tell her to contact me sometimes" Natsu said meekly using his other hand to cover his face to prevent me from seeing his blush. It caused me to blush knowing that he wanted to talk to the real me.
"F-fine, just let go already" He let go of my wrist and I walked off to meet Levy for lunch.
I met up with Levy and told her what happened. I told her my story starting from my party to the present time.
"Lucy..do you perhaps..like Natsu?" she whispered.
"N-no. Of course not" I defended myself. "Why would I like him. He's rude, inconsiderate, thinks he's a know-it-all, but at the same time he's kind, caring, and...and.." 'Oh gosh, what am I saying! I shouldn't be thinking of him like this'
Levy started chuckling.
"What's so funny!" I exclaimed. "I really don't like him..."
"It's just that you look so cute when you don't realize your own feelings" Levy smiled.
"I don't like him though" I said. Hoping that saying it a second time would make her believe me.
"You may not have liked him before, but I think your feelings changed. Sometimes you just have to follow your heart" she winked at me.
"I don't understand.." I whispered to myself. I didn't like him before, so why would I like him now.
School ended quickly and I said goodbye to Levy.
When I got home, I went straight to my room and locked the door. I dove onto my bed and just laid there. I needed time to be alone and reflect on my life.
"It was a one night thing, I can't be in love with the pick headed freak. It's not possible" I told myself.
But then again, I felt like he was different that night. There was something special about him. I reached into my shirt and took out the necklace that Natsu gave me. A red dragon. I chuckled a little. Natsu really is childish. Who names their group the 'Dragons' anyways and gives a girl a dragon necklace? But for some strange reason, I fond it to be really cute. I got off my bed and walked over to my nightstand. I open the top drawer and took out the piece of paper on top. It was Natsu's number. He wanted me to contact him didn't he? 'I'm only going to contact him because I don't want to face him again at school tomorrow, not because I want to talk to him or anything.' I told myself.
I take my phone out of my pocket and added his number to my contacts. This makes a total of four contacts in my phone: Levy (I got her number yesterday), Loke, Virgo, and now, Natsu. I also had the numbers of a few CEOs that I have worked with from other companies in the past, but those don't count. I opened a new message on my phone because I wasn't ready to call him yet. Texting him would probably be easier.
I stared at the new message, but I didn't know what to write. Why do I have to be the one to contact him first anyways? Isn't that the guys job? But then I realized that I never gave him my number. 'Your so dumb Lucy!" I shouted in my head as I face-palmed my forehead.
There was a sudden knock on my door.
"Who is it?" I shouted.
"Lady Lucy, it's time for dinner" said Loke.
"I'll be down there is a second" I said back.
I tried to get over my worrying and walk to the dining room to eat my dinner. I sat in my chair while Virgo brought out spaghetti and meatballs. I looked at my meal and sighed. For some reason, I wasn't hungry. I took one bite but then felt nauseous. I got up from my chair.
"I'm done eating. Thanks for the meal" I said as I started to walk back to my room.
"What's wrong my lady? Spaghetti is your favorite meal. We had the noodles specially imported from Italy, just how you like them" Loke said worried.
"I'm not hungry" I said as I continued walking.
Loke followed behind me.
"Please tell me what's wrong so I can help you. I don't like seeing you like this" said Loke. I stopped in my tracks.
"I don't know what to do anymore Loke" I blurted.
"What do you mean?" he asked.
"How am I suppose to text a guy that I only talked to once!" I said letting out my worries. I covered my mouth with my hands. Oops, I wasn't suppose to let Loke know that. Loke stared at me wide-eyed.
"Do you have a crush?! Tell me who it is so I can beat him up!" Loke said. I sweat-dropped. He's just like an overly protective father.
"I don't like him! It's just the guy that I danced with at my party the other day. He wanted me to contact him and I don't know what to say" I said, trying to justify my answer.
"Oh, is that all" Loke said calmly. "Give me your phone" I handed him phone. I watched as he quickly typed in some letters and pushed sent button. "Here it's done, you can have your phone back" I quickly grabbed my phone from him.
"What did you send to him!" I said as I checked my sent messages and read the first message. It said:
"Met me up at the amusement park tomorrow at 9 -Lucy"
The first thing in my head was 'Oh. My. God! I just invited Natsu out on a date!' I looked up with my phone and Loke was smiling at me with joy.
"What did you do that for!" I exclaimed.
"You said you needed help so I helped you" Loke said happily. "Plus, you need a break from school and tomorrow is the weekend so I thought it was the perfect idea. Also, now you'll have someone to hang out with at the amusement park!"
I glared at Loke evilly, and then felt my phone vibrate in my hand. I almost dropped my phone due to shock, but managed to catch it.
I look at my phone. It was a reply text from Natsu. It says:
"I'll be there -Natsu"
It was a quick and simple text, but for some reason my heart started pounding harder and there was a strange feeling in my stomach. Is this what it means to have butterflies in your stomach?
Loke leaned over my shoulder to read the text.
"Looks like you got a date" he grinned before walking off to do his work.
I can't tell if this is his evil plan to make fun of me or if he genuinely cares about me. Either way, I'm really happy that he did this for me.
The only problem is: I've never been to an amusement park before.
Next chapter- Lucy and Natsu at the amusement park! Haha (grins evilly). Loke is such the match maker in this chapter. Now a question for my readers: Should Natsu be afraid of roller coasters or Lucy (glimpse into my next chapter). I'm ultimately going to decide on my own, but I thought it would be fun to see what you guys say. Well, see you next time! Bye for now.
