CHAPTER #18

2107 Words
My stomach aching, coaxing me from deep sleep to wakefulness. I stretch out and open my eyes. The sun was saying hello to us but here we are still sleeping. Beside me, Natsu Dragneel is fast asleep. He's facing me, and I have an unprecedented opportunity to study him. His lovely face looks younger, relaxed in sleep. His sculptured, pouty lips are parted slightly, and his shiny, clean-salmon hair is a glorious mess. How could anyone look this good and still be legal? I could gaze at him all day, but I have needs – bathroom needs. Slipping off on the bed; then walked into my bathroom. I brush my teeth then wash my face. My hair isn't usually like this mess. I try and bring order to the chaos with my fingers but fail miserably and give up - finding some hair tie on the back of my mirror then tied my hair into a messy ponytail. I'm starving. I head back out to the bedroom. Sleeping beauty is still sleeping, so I leave him and head for the kitchen. I get some food in my fridge for our breakfast. I don't have any idea about what kind of food should I cook right now. But for sure that aliens will eat what I will cook for him since he always eats what I gave to him. I sighed and I decided to make some pancakes, bacon, eggs. I even get some fruits and I made him a coffee. I gasp when I felt his strong arms around my waist and the same time his head buried on my neck, inhaling my scent. "Good morning, Lucy." he murmured against my neck. "Good morning, Master, Sir and boss of all alien," I say. He frowned on me. "Why you keep on calling me like that?" I shrugged my shoulder then the corner of my lips went up "I just want to be unique." I say. He smirked on me but didn't say anything; he buried his face on my neck then hugs me tight. I could feel how hard his body against mine. "Lucy..." "Hmmm?" turning on the coffee maker then try to walk over the fridge but it's too hard since Natsu is hugging me. I groan "Would you please let me go. I need to cook for us. You know." I yelled. He chuckles before he let go of me. "Why don't you go on the shower, we still had an office, you know," I said in the matter in fact tone. "Lucy... I'm the boss I can do whatever I please since I own It," he said leaning against the counter. I rolled my eyes to him then put the coffee in the big mug. I take a small sip then smile on him as I give to him. He shook his head but I could see him smirking towards me; taking a small sip before he put it down on the counter. "But I think something tastes better with this." - Natsu. I look on him curiously. "What?" "This." My eyes got widen when he pulled me closer on him as he kisses me on my lips. I can taste the coffee in his mouth, and his right; its taste better. I moan and wrapped my arms around him. He hoists me up and he put me down on the counter. "hmmm.. yum.. yum." I said "Crazy," he said; the corner of his lips went up. I mentally bite my lower lips. Why he so handsome even though he doesn't know how to smile? Especially, now that; he doesn't wear anything on top. He was about to open his mouth when my phone started to ring. I was about to jump on the counter when he walked over his living room; I didn't say anything and I just continue taking a small sip on the coffee that I made. When Natsu came back he places my phone on my right ear then he buried his face on my neck; my legs are wrapped against his torso. "Hello, Levy." "Oh God you finally picked it up," she said and I could feel her annoyance on me. "Anyway... I'd call you since we'll have an outing. I asked Natsu about this last night and he said that he'll tell you about it, so get your ass on your bed and pack your things." I look down on and I saw Natsu playfully smile on me. "I-I... I mean where are we going?" I asked. "Did you forget that this is the day that the resort of Cana will be open? Cana said that we should go there to have a vacation, did you forget that because of the accident?" Levy-chan said and I imagine her pouting on me while saying on it. I mentally rolled my eyes and let out a sigh "But how about Natsu's Company? He's been out for almost I don't know how long and her secretary was out too." I say. I felt Natsu's smile on my neck. "Pssh... did you forget that Jellal and Gray were there these past days; don't worry that two can handle it," she says making me frown. "Are you sure that they doing great there? As far as I know.. for sure they create havoc on Natsu's office." I say. Levy-chan laughs but she didn't give any comment and that makes me conclude that two made something unexpected on Natsu's office. Levy-chan ended the call and I look on Natsu's who are looking on me tenderly. I arch my brow on him and he smiles on me. I gasp when all of a sudden; he lifts me again and put me down. "You don't need to do that," I say blushing. He didn't say anything but I could see his small smile. I rolled my eyes to him then I continue cooking our breakfast. After that I pack my things; Natsu said that we better go on Erza's Restaurant together, but this time I just want to go alone. I want to go there on my own; I don't know what's wrong on me... I don't know why I'm thinking that I should leave him on my house and just be alone for the meantime. I smiled at my friends when I saw them there in Erza's Restaurant. I wave my hand to them and run to them and greet them. "So where is Natsu?" Jellal asked me. I shrug my shoulder then sat down on the empty chair right next to Cana. "Well, maybe his on the way. I haven't seen him since I wake up." I said not sure about what I've said. Jellal was about to speak when we felt the dark aura coming on us. I slowly turned my head I bite my lower lips when I saw how dark his face right now. He looks really mad and angry on me; he glares on me like he wants me to be dead on my sit immediately. "What the f**k did I tell you?" he says angrily. I swallowed hard, trying my best to smile. "Errmm.. waiting for you," I say slowly. He was about to bite heads off and when Erza clears her throat to get Natsu's attention. I sighed, smiling at Erza. Natsu frowned on me "We need to talk later, Ducky." he said angrily. I rolled my eyes to him. Then back to our friends who were staring us; as we turn into a dinosaur. "What?" I said. "Ducky?" they all say making me wince. Aww, my poor ear. "Is that an endearment?" - Jellal. "Are you guys dating? since when?" - Cana. "Oooh! I thought you don't do dating, Natsu? Did you finally hit your head that's why you asked Lucy to be your girlfriend?" - Gray said smiling from ear to ear. "Guys, stop that silly question of yours." Erza glares them. "What? I'm sure you're curious on why Natsu calling Lucy like that. I mean... can you smell it. It smells something fishy." Juvia said; her eyes are gleaming as she talked to Erza. Erza sighed "I'm pretty curious too... But the best question is... Did they 'make love' all ready?" Erza said; she turned her head to me then smile widely. Uh-Huh... I felt Natsu sat down on my sides leaning on the chair as I felt his heavy stares on me. OMG! Don't tell me he wants me to answer all those questions on my own? "Erza you're late in the news. They made love before the accident happens." Levy-chan said making Erza eyes wide. "C' mon, Natsu and Lucy... what stage are you now?" – Cana. I sighed "We're in... stage 4 cancer." I say. Then I cried out when Cana hit me on the back of my head; making me pout. Damn it. >_< "DON'T GIVE US A CRAP, LUCY HEARTFILIA." They yelled. Making Natsu and I jump on our sit. "What? You're asking me about what stage we're now. I'm just telling that we're in stage 4 cancer---" I didn't finish my words when Natsu pulled me and my eyes got widen when his lips collide of mine. Making our friends gasp. When our lips parted, Natsu stare on my eyes then smiles as in smile.. it's not his smirk or grin. It's his real smile and I swear I held my breath the exact moment I saw it. "Were-in-getting-to-know-each-other stage. So stop asking us a question when it's obvious. It just makes you guys idiot." O////////////////////////////////O I rest my head on my sit. I felt tired because of the none-stop-question-and-answer portion of my friends between, I and that alien. To be honest, I really don't know what we had now... Like what I'd said before... I don't want to think it right now, I just want to enjoy the company that alien giving on me. Closing my eyes... and relax myself in my sit. "Damn it, Ducky. Don't sleep over me." the most annoying voice say making me turned my head and frown to him. "And what? killed myself to watch you while driving this car? No.. thanks Natsu." I said rolling my eyes. He glares on me. "I swear, Lucy if you sleep right now. I'll stop this car and make you scream my name" I smirk on him "Is that treat or promise, Natsu?" I tease. "Lucy." he inhale trying himself to calm down. I grin at him and shrug once more. "Oh, don't try and get cute with me." He runs his hand through his hair, and then shakes his head. "Are you really tired and sleepy?" "Yeah!" I murmured. "And whose fault is that?" I say trying my best not to close my eyes. "Guilty as charge. But honestly Ducky, don't sleep on me." "Why?" I yawned trying my best not to sleep. But failed because I felt my heavy lids close but before I peace surround me, I heard him say "I love seeing your eyes." And nothing. ... ... ... I groan when I felt warm lips touches on forehead, on my eyes, on my cheeks, on the tip of my nose. I groan again and the exact moment I open my eyes his lips brush on mine. He pulled away and looks on me; his eyes are sparkling like stars on the sky. "Pervert." I croak. The corner of his lips went up and he gentle runs his fingers on my cheeks; making me leans on his touch "Ducky." I frowned to him, making him chuckle. "I like that endearment." he say. "Well the feeling is not mutual, Alien. I hate that endearment." I pout. "I hate when you called me Alien too." his stare on me amuse. "Ducky, let's go... For sure our friends are on the receptions." he said. I raise an eyebrow and stifle a yawn at the same time. "Am I boring you, Ms. Heartfilia?" My lips twist into smile "Never." He leans across and kisses me gently on my lips. "Let's keep going, you can continue you're sleeping on our room." he said. I groan "But I'm comfortable here." He frowns at me not comprehending. "Lucy Heartfilia." he warms. "Why don't you lift me?" I said half-eyes closed. His lips quirk up, his eyes shining with incredulity. "It's my pleasure, Ducky." I wanted to whine but I'm too tired. I felt his hands on the back and on my thighs lifting me. I snake my hands around his shoulder and buried my face on his neck; making him giggle. I smile secretly and drove myself into sleep.
