Tales of a Maid | NaLu✔️

Chapter 12

After our conversation, Luce came back, along with Erza and Wendy's waiters, and brought our drinks.

I saw my father look over at me, then I watched his face as he recognised Luce.
"Natsu, a word outside please?" He said calmly, but with wide eyes.
"Yes father." I nodded, standing up.

(Natsu's POV)

Once we walked out the room and he closed the door, he looked at me like I was stupid.
"I see you have a knew maid." He said.
"Yes, she's pretty, isn't she." I smiled.

"Does she remind you of anyone?"
"No, not really."
"Don't tell me you've forgotten."
"Forgotten what?"
"Forgotten your fiancé, Lucy Heartfilia."
"Don't be stupid. Why would I forget my own fiancé?"

I loved winding my dad up. His facial expressions were to die for.

"Do you remember what Lucy looked like?" He asked me.
"Yes, I'd recognise her face any day." My father face palmed.
"No, no you wouldn't Natsu."
"What makes you say that?" I asked.

"Because your maid is Lucy Heartfilia!" He whisper-shouted.
"Oh, I already know that." I smiled. He looked at me in disbelief.
"You're joking right?" He said.
"Nope." I replied.

"WHY ARE YOU NOT CRYING FOR JOY!?" He yelled. "YOU SHOULD BE DANCING IN CIRCLES BECAUSE OF YOUR LUCK!"

I paused, took a deep breath, then looked him in the eye.
"Because she doesn't remember me." I replied. "She doesn't love me."
"And?"
"If I told her now, she'd think I was crazy and wouldn't believe a word I said, so I'm going to wait until she falls for me." I explained.

"That's my boy!" He slapped me on the back. "You cunning young lad! Always one for the ladies!"
"D-dad, shut up!" I whined.
"Let's get back to the dinner then!" He smiled, opening the door.

(Lucy's POV)

"Did you have a nice meal?" I asked Natsu.
"Yeah, it was good." He replied. Then it went quiet.

Suddenly, he turned around and looked at me. I stood still, staring into his onyx eyes. He walked up to me and gently brushed the hair out of my face.

"Are you tired?" He asked. "You look like you've over-worked yourself."
"Don't be stupid." I smiled. "I don't give in that easily."

"I don't believe you." He smirked, snaking his hand around my waist. "Sleep in my bed tonight Luce."
"B-but I need to tidy th-" I was interrupted.

"I order you to sleep in my bed." He smirked, pulling me closer so our noses nearly touched.

I felt my cheeks blushing.
"F-fine." I mumbled.

Swiftly, Natsu picked me up bridal style and placed me on the left side of his bed. He then walked round to the right and got in himself.
"C'mere Luce." He insisted, holding out his arms. I snuggled up to him and he planted a soft kiss on my cheek. Hold up!

HE KISSED ME!?

"Sweet dreams Luce." He mumbled, before falling asleep.

What's this weird feeling?

I can't be falling for him. Can I?

Could anyone be in love with someone who bought them?

This can't be love. It's pretty much impossible.

But my heart is telling me otherwise.
