Chapter 4: The 'Date'
Today was the day, the day Lucy could actually wait for any day. When she had told her new found group of friends about her 'date' with Sting they all literaly went silent with shock. Except Mira though, she was squealing like a school girl... Wait a minute...
Anyways, they soon started to give her smug grins, Besides Natsu that is though. He gave her a disappointed stare as he just crossed his arms. She just shrugged.
Now looking at herself in the mirror, she wondered why she was getting so dressed up for some lousy date with a guy she had no interest in. She was currently in a light blue shirt with long flowy cuffed sleeves, her shirt was tucked in loosely to a white skirt with frills and she had on blue ballet shoes with white knee-high socks. Her hair was up in it's original half updo with a blue bow.
She sighed and grabbed her purse, heading to the door of her lovely apartment which her daddy was so kind enough to pay for her so she wouldn't need a job yet. She didn't understand her dad at all, first he'll be a prick, then he'll be all nice and bubbly, then he'll be serious, then he won't-ARGH it was so frustrating, her dad, her school, even her lifestyle that she just had to leave.
Lucy didn't even know she was already at her aimed destination until she actually bumped into someone. She looked around.
No Sting in sight.
Lucy sighed and sat down on the lovely fountain that was plastered right in the middle of the centre. She sat and admired the beautiful city which she was so lucky to be able to come to. She didn't notice at all when some shadows came up from beside her.
" Hey gorgeous. What're you doing all by yourself at a place like this." Lucy already new that the guy(s) behind her weren't Sting so she decided not to pay the men any mind.
" I'm waiting for a 'friend'." Two guys sat down on either side of her, and she grumbled.
" Oh? How 'bout we keep you some company while you wait for whoever you're waitin' for." Before Lucy could speak, some one already beat her to it.
" I'd rather you not." The three looked up to the man infront of them and Lucy sighed of relief. She jumped up and hugged his right arm, looking at the shocked men infront of them.
" See? I told you." She smiled at them while they stood up and grumbled mean words before walking off. Once they were out of sight, Lucy immediantly let go.
" Hey, why'd you let go?" Lucy grabbed her purse off from the fountain and eyed him.
" I have no interest in being all up on you." Sting smirked and slung an arm around her shoulder, making her shiver slightly in discomfort.
" I wouldn't mind it, lil' blondie." He whispered in her ear. She shreaked and jumped away from him, a blush plastered on her face.
' Man this guy is hot!' She thought to herself as she finally took a chance to actually get a good look at him for the first time. The way his bisceps rippled when he crossed his arms over his broad chest, and the way he gave her a lop-sided smirk. Ugh! she couldn't stand the handsome man!
" Like what you see?" All of Lucy's attraction suddenly vanished and all emotion was gone. Sting seriously wondered how she did that.
" No. And you're a blonde too." Sting ignored her last retort and slung his arm around the small female that actually stood right to his chin. She was so cute. Lucy sighed and brought her book out of her purse and began reading.
" You're gonna run into someone if you do that."
" Then you would too since you're clung to me."
" Heh. Not unless I let go of you." Lucy stopped her reading and looked up at him. He gave her a curious stare.
" If you do that, I will kill you." Sting gulped slightly and laughed. He squeezed her a littled in the arm that was around her shoulder.
" You're so blunt." Lucy was just about to start reading again when a deliscious aroma filled her nostrils. Her head followed the deliscious scent which lead straight to the bakery she had been wanting to visit. She cried in delight and shoved her book back into her purse and practically ran over there, pretty much diching Sting.
She walked in and took a big whif of the are, sighing contently. Sting soon came in after her and glared at her.
" Way to just leave me there." Lucy waved him off and started walking down the aisle of the pastry selection.
" Yeah, yeah, you're fine." She spoke to the man behind the counter sweetly and pointed to the sweet she wanted. The man smiled and handed her the desert and just as she was about to pay, she turned her head to Sting.
" Aren't you going to get anything?" She asked sweetly. Sting shrugged and shook his head.
" Nah. I'm not into sweet things." Lucy shrugged and turned her head back to the man, paying her bill and thanking him. She dragged Sting by the arm to the eating area outside.
" Come on! I want to eat out here!" She sang all giddily. Sting's eyebrows furrowed. She really did have a strange personality. When they got to the table Lucy picked, she dove into her cake. Her eyes were filled with stars.
" It's so good.~" She sighed happily. Sting watched her boredly. Her face was so cute, he smiled.
" Let me have a bite." Lucy eyed him.
" But I thought you said you didn't like sweet things." Sting shrugged.
" Eh. Lemme have a bite." Lucy shrugged.
" Okay... If you say so then, but it's really sweet." She broke off a small peice with her fork and handed it to Sting. He leaned over, just about to bite it when sh snatched it away and put it in her mouth. Sting glared.
" Hey! That's low." Lucy smirked evilly.
" That was payback." Sting leaned back in his chair and eyed her, a smirk forming on his own lips.
" Are you playing hard to get?" Lucy gave him a look and shrugged.
" No. I'm not playing hard at anything." Before Sting could say another word, Lucy shoved a peice of her cake into his mouth. Sting began to gag and spit it out.
" Too sweet!" Lucy sat back and grabbed her stomach, laughing hysterically.
" Lucy? Sting? What's going on here?" The two stopped from there act and turned there heads in curiousity to the fimiliar voice.
There stood Erza, Natsu , Gray, and Mira. Lucy smiled at the group and waved while Sting just glared at a certain someone.
" Hey guys! What're you guys doing here." Natsu huffed angrily, still glaring at Sting, and crossed his arms.
" I got my ass dragged out of my own house to do something with these people again." Gray shoved him in the shoulder with force.
" Hey! I wasn't draggin' no one this time!" The boys stopped from there argument once they felt the deadly glares of the two girls beside them. Once they had settled down, Mira went back to her cheerful state.
" Erza and I wanted to go shopping, but we neede some guy critics as well, so we brought these two!" Mira sang. Lucy smiled and nodded and then titlted her head to the side.
" Then why are you guys here." Gray smirked and nudged Natsu in the shoulder, in which he was getting along with the joke right away.
" Erza can smell cake from a mile away." Gray snickered to Natsu but it could clearly be heard by everyone there. Natsu snickered back.
" That's why she needs to exercize so much." The two were silence soon enough with two big whacks on the back of there heads by none other than Erza.
" Erza wanted cake," Mira said bluntly and then smiled. " Can you guys watch after these two idiots while we get some cake?" Lucy nodded waved to the two girls who entered the bakery. She then turned around to be hit with awkward tension.
Natsu and Sting were literally sending death glares so hard, that if looks could kill, the entire population of Magnolia would be dead. Lucy and Gray leaned away from the two enemies.
" The hell's wrong with them?" Gray asked Lucy as she finished her last slice of cake. She shrugged.
" Who knows. Maybe they're still mad at eachother from the other day." Gray smirked at Lucy.
" Probably since Natsu's got a soft spot for you." He whispered. Lucy blushed and turned her head to Gray.
" What are you talking about!? Stop messing with me." She gave him a playful, yet painful smack on the arm. Gray winced and rubbed his injured arm.
" Hey, I'm just sayin'."
" So Lucy, Where do you wanna go next?" Sting smirked as he turned his head away from Natsu, watching him flare up from the corner of his eyes. Lucy looked up into the clouds in thought.
" I-"
" Nowhere." Natsu stood beside her with his arms crossed. Sting stood up.
" What'cha tryin' to say, tough shot?" Natsu scoffed and gave him an amused glare.
" The only reason she's coming along with you is because ou pretty much gave her no choice." Lucy looked back at the two frantically while Gray just sat back in the backround, fully interested in the moment.
" You guys..." Lucy smiled nervously.
' I see a pattern forming here...' She though to herself with displeasure. Sting stood up in his face and budded foreheads with him. People around them soon began to stare and whisper.
" A lover's quarrel?" Lucy could here somebody ask. Gray then picked her up off her seat and dragged her away from the two.
" Gr-Gray?" Gray was staring at the two in amusement.
" Do you really want to be caught up in that?" Lucy stared at him in confusement before turning her head around, met with Sting and Natsu already fighting. Lucy sighed and smacked her hand to her forehead.
Just then, Erza and Mira stomped out angrily.
" What the hell are you two doing!" Erza screamed before all chaos broke loose.
Just to say the least. Lucy and the rest were banned from ever going back there.
