I stand there frozen as the small card is shown around to everyone. They all in turn look shocked as they read the card and try to decipher the message. I thank the security guard who gave me the flowers and leave her to stand outside guarding the door again.
"Lucy. Do you think we need to call the police?" Erza asks
"No. I still think that it is a harmless fan who has a crush on me. All that he has said is that I have met him before now. I probably met him at one of the recent signings or meet and greets. Plus I have security everywhere now. No one is going to get near us unless we know them." I argue. I know I'm trying to sound blase about this but I really do not want the hassle.
"Did you know that Jellal had someone like this too?" Erza asked
I nod. "Natsu told me. But Jellal's was a lot more serious than mine. The girl sent him personal stuff other than flowers"
"True. But it can get much worse if we let it go on like this." Levy stated
"Guys. I've only got a week left until the tour finishes and I'm sure that the flowers will stop. They have only been sent to the venues and no where else." I argue "If it gets to the stage where they are being sent to my house then I will be worried but they are not and they are harmless. They have passed security clearance everytime with nothing else being added to them." I argue once more. The girls look back at me not as convinced.
"I think you need to tell Natsu that the messages are getting more serious" Erza says
I shake my head. "No. Natsu will just worry more. Like I said they will probably stop once we finish tour. The guy will not have an address to sent them to. I'm in a flat for crying out loud. If flowers get sent to me, I can refuse them myself if I do not know who they are from."
"Juvia thinks you are not taking this seriously." Juvia argues
"You're right I'm not because it's just a fan who is sending me creepy poems with some flowers and has been for weeks. If this guy had wanted to hurt me, he would have by now! I apparently have met this guy before and met him again at this 'ball' but that it is. The 'ball' can mean anything. It could mean a venue that we have played at, it could be a meet and greet, it could be a signing, I could have waved to him while I was walking into a venue or an interview somewhere. He's only using that word because he calls me 'Princess' and it's related to it. No one has called me 'Princess' in years except when I used to be a little girl in my Dad's mansion and the staff would call me that because they were not allowed to call me anything else!"
"You don't think that this is linked to that time do you?" Juvia asks
"I highly doubt it. Yes it is known that I am part of the Heartfilia company, but all of the people that helped in the mansion had to sign a document to say that they would not disclose anything that happens in the mansion or about the family. Maybe the person found out that I am part of the family company and decided to call me that since I was the young female heir to the company. It could be a fluke you don't know for sure" I say a little concerned
The others look at me concerned but don't say anything else. I shrug my shoulders to shake it off. "It doesn't matter for now. We have a show to play and this is the last week so lets make it big!" I say throwing the biggest grin on my face that I possibly can.
This can wait a few hours. There are three more shows left after this and it will be the end of our first tour…..hopefully so will the flowers.
"Thank you very much, we have been The Mages and this was our final show of our album tour. We just want to say a massive thank you to all of our fans, including you guys, who have supported us right from the start and those of you who have joined along the way! We really could not have done all of this without you all so good night everyone, please enjoy this last song and have a safe trip home!" I scream down the microphone as the crowd roars back at me, knowing full well that the last song that we are going to play of the night is our first single.
Juvia, Levy and myself decided to do something different tonight. As we were given head set mics for tonight's show, we ran up together to where Erza is playing the opening beat, get all of the crowd to clap along to the beat and we play as hard as we can on our instruments, singing loudly with the crowd. With a wink to each other at the last chorus, we all run out to the front of the crowd, Erza coming with us and we all sing the final chorus accapella, with the crowd singing the final line.
With that, the crowd roared back at us. We took our bows together arms linked around each other and ran off stage cheering and feeling just like the first night all over again. We did it! We had finished our first ever album tour and it was a major success! We all could not keep it in as we hugged each other, cried and laughed while we ran to the backstage area to grab our stuff and get out before we get mobbed by the fans yet again. We made that fatal mistake the other night and got stuck for a good two hours. We decided to kill the time by going out and saying hello to everyone while the bus tried to move out on the main curb for us to jump onto for a getaway. The security at the site loved us for our spontaneous idea (not!).
As we ran backstage to our dressing room, we were met by the site of four boys on the sofas, cheering and getting up to hug us all. As a thank you for the help they had given us, we had given the boys tickets to come and watch our final show which they gladly accepted.
That night was a night of congratulations all around as we were passed from one person to another and grabbed by security at one point to move as soon as possible to the tour bus so that they could move away quickly tonight. As we sat on the tour bus with the guys, MiraJane stood up and addressed us all.
"I just want to say thank you and congratulations to you girls. You have been absolutely amazing and every night has been amazing. I can officially say that this tour has been a massive success and once your next album is out, it is a guarantee that you will have another tour like this again! I am so glad that I have met you all and that everything has worked out so wonderfully for you. You all deserve it." She said raising her glass, which we all clinked with in celebration.
We had decided a few weeks ago that we just wanted to go straight home from the concert tonight, so we had decided that the boys would drop us off with our stuff rather than the tour bus. Natsu and I had gone in Gray's car with Gray and Juvia and Levy and Gajeel would drive home with Jellal and Erza. We said a few short goodbyes, as we were meeting up in two days time to start helping Juvia and Gray with wedding planning and a few thank you's to all of the staff on the tour, the tour bus driver and Mira Jane and made our way home.
It was so weird opening up the key to my apartment. I know that this place will not be home for long since I am moving in with Natsu in a few weeks, but it is home for now. So as I open the door, to my familiar surroundings, I drop my bags down and make my way to lie on the bed, before I am grabbed by Natsu into a hug and kissed.
"I am so proud of you Lucy and I am so glad to have you here."
"Thank you Natsu"
"I love you Lucy."
"I love you too Natsu."
Natsu notices that my eyes are starting to droops. Well… it is now almost 4am.
"You tired by any chance?" I nod slightly
He kisses me lightly "But I need to give you your welcome home present"
"Can't it wait until tomorrow?" I ask
Natsu shakes his head "I want to give it to you now" He says kissing me again, but this time moving his kisses over to my neck making me moan.
I finally catch onto what he was saying. "Well I guess I can stay awake a little longer for that" To which Natsu kisses me back on the lips and we are lost again to our own world.
God it's so nice to be home.
So what do you think? Is Lucy being a bit too laid back about the messages from the flowers? Who knows who is sending them!? I've already had the right answer said to me in comments you clever people! You all have time since it will not be revealed for a while! Do you think that they will stop at the tour?
I know that this chapter is a bit fast paced, but I needed to move the girls to off the tour now so I can progress properly with the story! I have so much more to write about!
Can't believe all of the support for this story! Thank you all so much! 22 chapters already and almost 7,800 views! I love you all much for this! Thank you thank you thank you!
I am always welcome for comments from people so if there is anything that you would like to see in this story (or even in another one since I have a few in the pipeline for after this story) then please let me know! Please bare in mind I only write Nalu (and maybe a bit of gratsu if I was asked for it enough times haha)
Also a big shout out to Lavawings and the staff at the community group "Cool Fairy Tail Nalu Fan fiction"! I had no idea that my fan fic was added to this group until now! Go check it out! They have some great Nalu fan fics there!
