Chapter 4
Lucy panic at seeing the certain blonde who still doesn't feel the presence of the celestial mage. What to do? What to do? Crap I should get out of here! Lucy thought in her mind. She turned around and started walking quietly. Almost there… She thought, the suffocating silence almost killed her, she could hear her heart thumping hard. But a gentle voice called her name startling her and stopped her from walking. " Lucy.. " Sting stopped just a few inch away from her. How she missed that voice of him but suddenly shook her head at the thought. She hesitantly turned around to face him, Sting almost jumped at seeing her beautiful face.
Back at the guild, it's almost evening and the sky was filled with orange color. The guild is starting to get noisy but Gray is too occupied with the thought of a certain blonde woman, how is she now? Should I visit her? He is out of nowhere when someone interrupted him. " Gray something wrong? " The bartender holding a tray of beer looking down at the raven haired boy. " Ahh Mira. Nothing. " he assured, " You sure? " She asked before giving the tray of beer she was holding " Yeah.. " He stand and inserted his hands on his pocket as Mira nodded leaving him. " Maybe I should visit her. " He told to himself as he left the guild.
Lucy who's still froze at the moment, don't know what to do. " S-Sting.. " Finally she uttered a word, Sting could only flash a sad smile remembering how she call his name with enthusiasm " Sting! " But there's no way it will ever happen again. He just stared at her reminiscing all their memories. While on the other side, Lucy couldn't do anything she was now looking at the man who's staring at her with sadness on his eyes. Is he sad? No way he'll be sad. Ha! He's the one who finished our relationship so there's no reason for him to feel that, I should be the one feeling it. She thought to herself, she took a couple of step back but stopped when sting held her arms " Wait Lucy. " She firmly closed her eyes and took a deep breath and sighed heavily. " What? " She said but didn't dare to look on his face.
Gray was walking straight to Lucy's apartment and when he got to her apartment, he knocked and called her name. " Lucy? Are you there? " After waiting for her answer but to no avail, no one answered. " I'll get in Luce! " He shouted and open the door. Ha it's unusual I didn't barge in. He grinned to himself. She entered her bedroom but there's no one, he also went to her kitchen but there's no one too. " Where did she go? Tch, wondering around ei? " He told to himself and left her apartment. He was walking pass the park when he caught two familiar people who seemed to staring at each other at the moment. His eyes widened in realization, Lucy!
" I.. I.. " Sting couldn't even say a word and Lucy just stared at him calmly but her heart was pounding hard in her chest like it's going to leap out of her chest. " Lucy… " Her eyes widened and look behind where the voice came from. She looked at him with save-me-please-look begging him, Gray farrowed his eyes and look intently at the man who's grabbing Lucy's arm, he walked towards them and hold Lucy's other arm " Let's go Luce.. " Lucy only nodded and took a couple of step back away from Sting but suddenly stopped by grabbing her other arm tighter " We're not yet done talking. " Sting told with deep and calm voice but anger was evident in his voice. " You're done talking, month ago.. " He glared at him emphasizing his point and Sting's side lip turned upwards in angriness. " Why you.. " Sting said, and Gray only smirked in Sting's response. Lucy sense the dark aura the two guys emitting between her. " You guys stop. Gray… let's go. " And hearing Lucy spoke, Sting's hold on her arm loosen, and with that he let go of her unconsciously and still dumbfounded.
Lucy and Gray silently walking towards the guild, " We're not going there… " Lucy whispered as she grabbed Gray's sleeve causing Gray to stopped from walking. " No, we're going. It's been days ago since you're not visiting the guild. " Gray said as he continue walking. Lucy couldn't do anything but just to follow him. " Everybody might be worried about you… " Gray suddenly said, Lucy just bowed her head. " And of course me… " That came out in Gray's mouth all of a sudden, didn't even bother taking it back. And of course, Lucy stopped once again. Wide eyes staring at the walking ice exhibitionist.
