'Today was going to be a good day', I told myself. I was on the way into the cinema today watching "Uncharted" which was already reason enough to be happy, seeing Tom Holland in action but even more so, I was going with my crush Natsu Dragneel I knew over work and met last autumn.

We went already out eating with his friends twice and dear lord I was so nervous since I didn't know them at all. But a month plus later, Natsu also asked me out to a house party and I couldn't have been more nervous, I never was the type to go out or party, plus the fact that 50 people I didn't know were invited. But it was fun in the end, the girls tought me drinking games like "Red Cage" or "Beer Pong" and in the end the night and party was over fast. He also asked me to take off next Friday but didn't tell me why so I wondered the whole day and hoped he'd tell in the cinema that we somehow ended up in and ohmygosh it's just us two. Half a part of me was happy to be alone with him, the other part wasn't because what could we talk about, only work related stuff?

Parking into the parking lot, I nervously turned off the car, put out the key and went inside the building to wait for Natsu. Deciding to kill some time and be less nervous I bought the tickets but damn, I was still too early, it was 17:54.

I wrote him a quick 'I'm here and got the tickets'" to let him know and make sure he wouldn't wait outside when it's cold. I only saw one checking mark so I knew it didn't arrive him, which made me wonder and worry.

'Would he come today?'

"Did he forget?'

'Was I nervous all for nothing?'

'Did I switch the days and I'm here and he's not on his way and excited?'

'Maybe it's only me that-'

'Nono, don't be stupid Lucy, you wrote yesterday if 18:15 is good for him and he said yes, there's no way you can forget or skip one day this fast.' I cut my thoughts off and took a deep breath in and checked the time. 'See? It's 17.55, you're just way too early and over punktual.'

Breathing out in relief I stood near the entrance of the cinema and waited for the time to pass. But I was so nervous, that I had to do something so I took small steps for and backwards until I saw him come in and I thought my heart skipped a beat.

"Hey" I greeted him with a wave and thought 'Is waving good enough? Is he a hug person? Ah probably not, otherwise he'd just do it. Don't wanna risk it anyway.'

"Hey" he greeted back and took out his phone to check the time.

"I'll buy the tickets real quick" Natsu added and I held him off.

"Wait, I already bought them. I already wrote you I bought them as well but you didn't get my message or so." I said and looked in his eyes.

"Ah yeah, I always have the data on my phone off, so I don't get or receive messages, unless I turn them on." the green eyed male explained.

'Ah so he's the type to not write when driving, that's very good! Gosh why am I already thinking this far?! Stop it brain, don't think too much.'

"Then I will buy the food, do you want popcorn?" he asked me very nicely and thankfully stopped my thoughts but making me even more nervous in the process.

"Nono, I don't need anything, thank you though." I answered half stuttering, hoping it didn't sound too weird. "I'm not really a popcorn type, I'm more into Nachos and cheese but I don't feel like grabbing them." I told him. 'Plus what if we'd kiss like in these romantic movies, then eating would be bad, doesn't matter what.'

"I'll get popcorn real quick" the pinkette said and left for the queue of people waiting to order food and drinks for the movie.

I didn't know what to do at this time 'Should I just wait here? Is following him and staying in the queue with him too clingy? But he doesn't know me too well so-' I cut off my thought and followed him to the queue he eneded up in, to stay with him and wait. 'Damn Lucy, you didn't think it through! Now what? Talk? About what? I should've stayed put outside.' I half cursed myself and my thoughts, what can I do and what did I do? A swift look to him and it looked like he wasn't nervous at all, leaving me a bit disappointed thinking that maybe he doesn't see me the same way.

'Of course he doesn't, why would he want you?' A voice within said.

'But if he doesn't, why did he invite me to parties and food with his friends?' the other, hopeful voice answered inside me.

'Because he's just a nice guy. Just because he's nice doesn't mean he wants you to be his girlfriend, get it into your brain girl!'

The more I thought about it, the more it dragged me down inside. Somehow it all vanished when he was in line ordering his popcorn, paying and leaving with me for the stairs to get into the right movie room. We ended up with a bit small talk here and there but I had this feeling his impression of me wasn't the best, but I still wanted to try to make the best out of it.

In the movie room itself I felt very excited. My thoughts were about a kiss and "What if's" but I tried to not think too fast. The movie started and at least now I knew, I can lean back, enjoy watching and stop thinking for a while. Though it didn't work over the whole movie. Natsu did eat his popcorn and I thought I would be sneaky and take some, maybe try some hand contact, like in those movies but it didn't really get me anywere, aside him being sweet and putting the popcorn closer to me and an angle I can easily take some out. CUTE!

'No Lucy, not cute. Maybe you just think you like him in this way but you actually doesn't. Think about it!' I tried to warn myself to not get too close to avoid a heartbreak, that wouldn't even be a real one yet.

The movie was over fast, the action got me a few times which I thanked for, to get my thoughts stay fixed on the movie and not wander off somewhere it shouldn't go to.

"Out of a 10, how much did you like it?" the pink haired man beside me asked while the credits started on the screen.

"Uhhh, a 8 maybe?" I put my finger on my chin and thought.

"An 8 huh.." he wandered off.

"What about you?" I asked, not sure if I wanted it or just did it to keep the conversation going.

"I'd give it a 5, maybe 6 but not more, it made no sense somewhat and wasn't that good."

'So he didn't enjoy it? There you have it Lucy, this so called "Date" that wasn't even a real one, was boring for him, he doesn't want or like you in any way while you were excited and just happy in his presence.'

"Yeah the movie itself was a 7 for me, but 8 because Tom Holland was in it" I explained, even tho I don't have to explain it. 'Great I switched back to 7 because of what he said, I'm so manipulable.'

Somehow we talked more about the movie, then he said "I'm hungry, you wanna grab a pizza?"

How can I say no even when I'm not hungry right now at all.

"Sure" I answered and we went downstairs the cinema into a small restaurant that had pizza and took place at a table.

"Salami Pizza is good?" the green eyed man asked me and I just nodded while scanning through the cocktails. The waiter came and I ordered my Sex on the Beach cocktail, while Natsu ordered the pizza. It didn't take long for both to arrive at our table.

I started slurping and watched him eat one slice, until I grabbed a slice myself. Can't say no to pizza!

15 minutes over and Natsu had finished three slices while I had only finished two.

"Boah, one more but then I can't no more." Natsu claimed and took his last slice to start eating it.

"I'm also full" 'not to mention I wasn't even hungry to begin with.'

"But you gotta eat the last three slices, I can't get them down." the pink haired man sitting across told me.

"Yeah but I'm super full, wasn't even hungry and also got the fruits left on my cocktail." I tried to get him to at least eat one more slice to make the last one easier for me. And he did grab it, I grabbed the one slice, then the last one as well and we both finished eating with half a huff, half a moan, not able to move right now. I finished 15 minutes later though and tried to hurry to make him not wait but he didn't mind and told me to take my time. Right when I went to grab my cocktail to finish it, Natsu looked at me and I couldn't drink it and started to laugh randomly, just because he was watching me drink.

Then there was a bit of silence but Natsu then said: "Umm because of next Friday, I can't tell you what we're doing yet but you need to bring something ."

"Of course, should I take some alcohol with me?" Natsu chuckled to my answer and said "Well you can if you want, but I don't think you will need it.

I wondered. 'Is it not a party? Where else could we go? It's gotta be a party, he's surely just teasing me, something like this.'

"Then what should I take with me?" I asked and thought now he'll just say something that made it clear I was right with what I had thought.

"Well the plan is I'll pick you up at 8, we'll drive somewhere and I'll drive you home on Sunday. I can't tell you where to exactly we're going though but you also need to bring a swimsuit."

"Eeehh?" I exclaimed leaning back, my blonde hair following my movements.

Natsu then made a gesture with his hand of shutting his mouth with a key and throw it away, showing me there's no way I can get any information out of him.

'It's gotta be a pool party then, what else? But a pool party that is from Friday to Sunday? Weird..' I finished my thoughts, still no clue of where we'd go and end up soon.

Natsu paid for everything, after I eventually beat my cocktail as well and ate the fruits that were left on top. We stood up and went outside, a woman following us and I had to laugh because we stood right outside the entrance of the cinema and the woman kind of jumped and looked shocked because she didn't see Natsu.

We stood there for like 15 minutes, me laughing at least 5 minutes through, until it hit me that it was all over. My mind started wandering again, not sure if now was a good time to hug him for a "goodbye". It also felt like none of us wanted to go and drive home, because we enjoyed talking and just being in each others company. Though eventually the time has come, we said our goodbye's, and as I was ready to leave on my heel to go to the direction I parked my car, Natsu held me off and hugged me. Shocked as I was, I was happy too and returned the hug. It felt long since none of us wanted to seperate first. I looked in his eyes after we seperated eventually from our hug, super nervous of what just happend and once more and for the like 10th time, we said or goodbye's and I watched him walk off to his car while I went to mine, not knowing what was about to happen soon...
