What an arogant guy! Lucy snorted at the smirking pink haired man that sat in front of her.
Natsu just kept smirking at her holding her novel hostage under his resting hands.
"What are we even doing here?" The blonde asked defeated looking around at her surroundings.
The pink hair man lead her into a diner of some sort, picking a booth in the back away from the windows and customers inhabiting the afternoon lunch rush. The diner's decorations were very simple, similar to a retro diner that had a few framed pictures, a small radio behind the main counter, and then a few booths lining the wall. The only modern touch the diner had was a small television that played the top hit music videos or whatever local station is on.
"I'd figure we could have some lunch, sorta like a date." The man told her in his smooth voice.
"I don't have time for a 'date'. Now can I get my book back? I have other things to do today that doesn't include being here." Lucy sighed squeezing the bridge of her nose.
"Ooh what kind of things Luigi?" He asked in what seemed to be a mockingly amused voice.
"You don't even know my name. Gimme my damn book already!" She demanded raising her voice slightly not to disturb anyone while kicking the man repeativly under the table.
"Sheesh Lucy your so fiesty." Natsu said chuckling before suddenly resting his head on the table groaning.
"I'm glad you remember my name." She said in an innocent voice.
"What would you like hun?" A new voice asked interrupting the two.
Lucy looked up to see a waitress with long green hair and ruby red lips come to their table with a pad of paper and pen in hand. The blonde was hesitant to answer, she wanted to leave but didn't know how to leave since she was cornered now.
"L-lucy, have this date with me and I'll give you your book back. I'll buy whatever you want." Natsu spoke up with his head turned to the wall. He had one hand under the table and the other tapping on the cover of her book.
Lucy bite her lip and picked up the menu in defeat. After a few minutes of scanning the menu she ordered a hamburger, fries, a slice of cake and a diet soda. Natsu cleared his throat and ordered an extra large meal of hamburger, fries, and soda. When the waitress wrote down everything she left saying that their order would be ready in 20 minutes.
Lucy turned her gaze to Natsu who was slouched back in his seat recovering. Seeing this the blonde let out a giggle which caught the man's attention.
"What's so funny?" He asked with narrow eyes.
"Oh nothing." She told him with a smirk that seemingly attracted the man more.
"Your sure fiesty Lucy, I'll give you that. But you know what, I think I can live with that." He said taking the blonde by surprise. Natsu laced his fingers together hiding his lips that had a growing smirk in place.
Lucy sat frozen in place blushing like a mad woman as his words replayed over and over again. She felt like a giddy school girl over a boy crush. She knows she has her own way of standing her ground but she felt unexpectedly weak to a man she only met last night.
"What's wrong? Cat got your tongue feisty Lucy? Don't worry I'll get that for you." The pinked haired man dropped his hands onto the table chuckling. He managed to catch the blushing woman's eyes before licking his own lips which only made her blush darken.
Before the man could tease her anymore his phone sounded throughout the establishment. Natsu grabbed his phone that was tucked away in his coat pocket.
"I'm sorry for the interruption of our date, but I have a call from work that I must answer." Natsu sent her an apologetic smile her way before turning to leave. He took a step forward before pausing and grabbing her prison book. "For insurance purposes." Was the only thing he said taking his leave.
Lucy blew a sigh of relief having time for her blush to calm down.
"Here you go hun. Your regular meal and the extra large one." The waitress came back with a smile on her face holding a tray at her shoulder she then began to set the plates in the respective places. When she finished she held the tray in front of her hesitant to leave.
Noticing this Lucy looked up mid attack from her fries, before she could even speak a word the waitress swallowed hard.
"Look hun, I know I shouldn't be saying anything but you should be careful with that boy your dinning with. He's some serious problems that a girl like you shouldn't be tangled with." The long green haired woman spoke in a very hushed voice looking toward the door a few times to ensure no one stepped in. She looked more hesitant before nodding her head and leaving.
Lucy sat there dumbfounded for a few minutes processing everything that's been told to her. She shook her head a few times before picking at her fries awaiting for the man's return.
It didn't take that long for Natsu to return.
"Oh the food finally came." He said with a wide smile settling back down in his seat ready to dig in.
"Mhm." Lucy responded back with fries in her mouth.
