The promise made but never kept

Chapter Thirty

After the Halloween Party, the school gave us a break till Wednesday-next week.

It was around 4 in the morning and I was surfing the net, trying to take advantage of the mini vacation the school was giving us.

I looked at Natsu beside me snoring lightly.

He's sleeping like an angel, the complete opposite when he's awake.

I found myself yawning and placed the laptop on my side table gently then snuggled beside Natsu.

"Hey knight, how long are you staying with us?" I asked sounding irritated.

"I don't know, princess. That depends on mom and dad." He shrugged.

"My mom and your mom are really close aren't they?" I sighed and he sat beside me giving a small peck on my cheek.

He's been doing this for two weeks now.

"They sure are. They're too excited and noisy for their own good." He complained and I giggled.

"Say, what would you do if we never meet again?" I asked curiously.

"That'll never happen. You can bet on that." He smiled brightly.

"What made you say that?" I asked.

"That's because you're my ultimate best friend and I wouldn't let not meeting you ever again, happen. Simple as that." He reasoned then gave me a bear hug while combing my hair with his fingers.

"Yeah. Whatever you say!" I giggled.

I woke up and held my head for the sudden reaction.

My head hurts.

This is not him that I'm dreaming about anymore.

Who's this childhood friend I had when I was young?

Isn't he the only guy best friend that I ever had when I was a kid?

Then, what's this?

I stood up and stretched briefly.

I went straight to the bathroom and done my morning rituals.

Natsu's not in my room so that means he's on the guest room.

It's 9:24am.

It should be fine since it's a Sunday.

Mother and daughter bonding!

I've also got to ask mom if she knows anything about it.

I went straight to the bathroom for my morning rituals and walked out of the room.

When I reached the living room, I found Natsu watching tv comfortably.

"Morning Natsu." I greeted casually as I walked straight to the kitchen.

"Good morning, Lucy!" he chirped lively and continued watching.

I went straight to the fridge and placed milk on my empty cup.

"Hey Natsu, have you seen mom?" I yelled at him as I placed the milk back to the fridge.

"Mom went out early this morning with Virgo and Capricorn." He yelled back.

"Did she say where she was going?" I asked as I approach him back to the living room.

"She said she has a meeting to attend to." He shrugged.
