Lucy and Erza

I woke up at 9 the next morning to get ready to go out with Erza to a cake shop. After showering and getting dressed it was 10:30. I'm supposed to meet Erza at 11 so I hurriedly did my hair and ran to the door but stopped in front of Natsu's picture before stepping out.

"Good morning Natsu" I said "Starting today I will be hanging out with everyone in the guild to make up for the time we lost. I'll be home late today so see you then" I kissed the picture then ran out to catch up with Erza.

She's gonna be so mad, I thought.

"Oi what took you so long the line is gonna be long hurry up!" Erza was standing out side the cake shop

"Sorry. I unintentionally took a long shower" I apologized

"Whatever lets go"

We walked in to the beautiful cake shop. According to Erza the shop opened up last week and is already very popular especially among tourists. We took a seat beside the windows and started reading through the menu.

"I'll take a strawberry shortcake. What about you Lucy?" Erza asked

I looked down at the menu one last time before deciding on the red velvet cake.

"I'll take the...Erza?" Erza had a shocked face and she was staring at something behind me.

I turned around and saw Jellal. Erza's crush.

"Do you want me to call him over?" I asked

She immediately blushed then nodded.

"Jellal!" I called.

He turned and when he saw us he started walking to our table.

"Hey" He said

"Hi" I said

"H-h-hi" Erza's face was still red.

"Do you mind if I join you guys?"

"No not at all go ahead there is room beside Erza"

Both Jellal and Erza blushed really hard then looked at each other and looked away. I giggled and motioned for Erza to squeeze in and let Jellal sit. She did as I said and Jellal took the seat hesitantly.

"I'm going to go to the washroom" I said as I got up and left. I wanted to give those two some time alone but I also wanted to see what will happen so I hid behind a wall and peeked my head a little to see.

Jellal was fidgeting with something in his pocket and I couldn't help but wonder if it was a wedding ring. Is he going to propose?

I remember when Natsu was talking about getting married. He said he wanted lots of kids I disagreed with him but he insisted on it and even made a promise to me that we will get married and we will have kids. But where are you now Natsu? You broke your promise. You promised me a happy family. I'll agree with you this time about having lots of kids just please come back.

Without noticing tears started falling down and my knees trembled. I fell to the ground crying like a little child.

"Lucy!" Erza ran to me. I felt so bad for ruining a perfect moment with her crush that she probably was waiting her while life for.

She took me in a long and tight hug before letting go.

"E-Erza I'm sorry" I said

"Stupid" she rubbed my tears and hugged me one last time."Let's finish our cakes so we can go home" she pulled me back to our table where the cakes and jellal were.

"Should I...leave?" Jellal asked

"No" I immediately answered. "You need to ask Erza something before you leave"

He instantly blushed then slowly took the ring box out of his pocket. He knelt down on one knee and said "Erza Scarlet, will you marry me?"

Erza covered her mouth and started crying. Jellal was shocked. He got up and didn't know what to do.

"I-I'm sorry did I do something wrong?" He asked

Erza shook her head.

"So is that a yes?" He asked

This time she nodded and jumped into his arms. He took her in a long deep kiss before letting go.

I felt so happy for those two.

I left Erza in the cake shop with Jellal and decided to go back home. Like always Natsu's smell was the first thing that welcomed me.

"I'm home" I called hoping to get a reply back even though I knew that it was impossible.

"I'm home" I mumbled looking at Natsu's picture.

Tears started falling down and I fell to the ground again. I pulled out Natsu's scarf from under my pillow and hugged it tightly.

"I'm home"
