Hidden princess

The gang.

When me and Erza became aquanted she pulled me into the house. As we walked I seen about a million different faces.

"I'm a grade ahead of you Lucy."
I heard her yell above the noise.

"Would you like to meet some of me and Levy's friends?"

I nodded and she dragged me out side to a pool. Oh I didn't bring a suit.

"You already know Gajeel. Levy's boyfriend. This is Cana, Wendy, Gray, Juvia, Elfman, Lisanna, Evergreen, Bickslow and Natsu. Jet and Droy are around here somewhere, I'll introduce you later."

She turned me in the direction of each person I waved at everyone while doing so. Cana had brown hair with a beer in her hand smiling lazily. Wendy had blue hair and a timid smile. While Gray and Juvia were locking eyes with each other deep in conversation. Elfman was no one new he always screamed about being a man. Lisanna wasn't new either and she looked rather unhappy to see me, geez more drama and I barley knew the girl. Hurray for me. Evergreen was making heart shaped eyes at Elfman though completely emursed in his man talk. While Bickslow was throwing daggers at Natsu whom was walking up to me as we speak. He looked very excited and eager to see me. Only God would know why.

"Hey Lucy didn't expect to see you here. How are ya?"
"Oh. Uhm Levy invited me. Of course after I met." I paused to think of her name.
"Erza! She disappeared on me. I'm good though better than sitting in my room on a Friday night right?"

Erza ran back into the house leaving me with her friends and feeling very out of place too. He laughed and threw his arm around me. I froze and redden getting butterflies in my stomach. And I duked out from his arm.
His gave me a confused look than winked at me. I knew I was blushing now full on.

"Hey Lucy you look flushed are you not feeling well? Or is the heat getting to you?"
Lisanna asked in a kind tone. She smirked at me, I saw past it though. Crap she saw my blush. Natsu threw is arm around my shoulder again a steered me away from the little cluster of Levy's and ahh... Erza, Damn I'm going to have to keep repeating that name so I don't forget it, friends taking me deeper into the back yard, he had a bright smile and his touch felt like he'd set me on fire. But why? Why did I have butterflies in my stomach. I mean I've been touched by boys before not in a dirty way, not like I'd ever had a boyfriend or anything, but still I didn't understand.

"So you're a blusher huh that's funny."
Natsu said after we were a little futher from the noise there were people out here too though.

"I beg your pardon?"

"No need to beg. But you're a blusher I've noticed. It's funny. Didn't mean to put you in the spot light. But I couldn't stand Lisanna staring at you like that."
I just gapped at him. Did this guy have a filter and he was well just so honest I didn't know what to say.

"Hahaha. The flies will start nesting if you open your mouth any wider. I just wanted to talk if you don't mind Lu Lu"

I shook myself.

"It's Lucy by the way. Not Lu Lu if you don't mind. " I retorted. "And I don't mind to talk, but why was Lisanna sending daggers my way?"
This time he blushed and dropped his head. "Well... We ahhh... Don't have the best history, that's all."
I stared him down with a try me gaze. He sighed and sat down motioning for me to do the same. I sat down across from him. He smiled at me sheepishly. And cleared his throat.

"Well it started in summer before 7th grade I really liked her and all she seemed so nice but after I asked her out she changed, gettin all bossy and jealous all the time never wanting me to go out with my friends said we needed quality time and crap. I went along with it at first but after a year it got old. Than right after I graduated 8th grade my grandpa wanted me to go on a summer long trip with him. See my grandpa is a business man so he's not home often."
Natsu paused leaving me with a cliff hanger. That better not be it. Than he threw his hands up and yelled.

"Of course I was going to go with him! I mean the man's barley ever home. She threw a huge fit saying I just didn't love her anymore and I just wanted my space away from her so I could go find other more interesting girls. The chick was crazy. So..... I ended it. She was a lunatic I swear. But ever since I've only had like three relationships. I just don't trust anyone anymore and she kind of ruined my ideas of relationships. Plus I never loved her to begin with, I thought I did thank god I came to my senses."

He stopped and smiled at me then.

"Oh wow I'm sorry Natsu. No wonder she hates me thinks I'm moving in on her turf." I wiggled my eyebrows at Natsu and he blushed than pushed me down.

"Ah Luce hush it. She doesn't hate you. Lisanna's like that with all the girls I talk too."

"A playboy huh?" I questioned honestly curious. He blinked than tilted his head side ways making him look unbearably cute. I flushed slightly, thanks to the dim lighting I knew he couldn't tell and he already commented on it so I definitely didn't need that poping up now.

I giggled than sat back up.
"Huh. Well no answer must be a yes then."

"What? No! No. No. No. I'm not a playboy, at least I wouldn't say I am sure I talk to a lot of girls but I talk to everyone. I like to be sociable."

I smiled crap he's so cute why? I never really thought much of boys my dad always ruined the thought of them with his greed and uncanny ways of treating other women. I didn't want to be with someone like him.

"Psst. Hey Luce you okay? Kinda spacing on me." Natsu said while waving a hand in my face.

"Oh yeah sorry."
"So what's your past huh?"

I sighed. "Ha what past I don't have one. Never dated anybody."

Natsu raised an eyebrow in disbelief.
"You're joking right? A pretty girl such as yourself with no history? You gotta be kidding me."

I shook my head no.

"So no first kiss yet huh? How old are you anyways?"

"W..why? I.. I'm sixteen until october."

I stammered thrown off by the kiss comment.
He smiled than came closer to me. Making me scoot into a tree trunk. He crawled over till he was inches from my face.

"I'm sixteen till September how ironic huh? I'm a month older than you. How oh how has a cute girl like your self never had her first kiss and be sixteen. You're adorable, sweet, shy, and attractive as hell and I want to know why you seem to cloud my mind Luce. What are you doing to me?"

Natsu's breath hit my face he smelled like burnt cinnamon and fire. I was getting foggy from inhaling his sent. S...s..so.. close Lucy push him off come on why won't my arms work? What wrong with me. Why do I want him to close the small distance and just feel how soft his lips look to be. Why do I want him to kiss me! I just met him a couple of days ago. Snap out of it Lucy! But I didn't I just sat there watching him come closer and closer.

"There you are!" I heard a familiar voice shout causing me to jump and bump heads with Natsu in return causing his ouch as well. A little shimmer of blue hair came up right as I made distance from my almost first kiss.

"I was worried Lu-chan I thought you left with out saying goodbye!" Levy's little voice filled with worry. I stood up feeling the ache from sitting to long leave my body.
"I'd never Levy! I couldn't find you earlier either." I accused. She blushed than Natsu spoke.

"Nah I just thought I'd keep her company." Levy shot looks between us making me blush again. Man I need to get that under control!
"Ah huh. Right. Well everyone's looking for you two, so lets go."

She grabbed me and Natsu's hands and pulled us back to the house. Giving me I'm so interrogating you later looks. I smiled than shrugged. Wow what a start to the night.
