Playboy's Attention《Book 1》

17: In Love with her

November 5, Saturday, Natsu's bedroom, 8:30 am

Natsu's POV
Why the hell did I wake up so early?

I walked out of my room and continued down the stairs.

"Mom, why the hell is my alarm so early?" I grumpily asked as I walked to the kitchen.

"Oh, I didn't set that." Mom says as she beats eggs.

Suddenly, Wendy burst out laughing.

"So it was you, huh." I walk over to Wendy as she dies of laughter.

Wendy just continues laughing.

"Oh you're gonna get it now, kiddo!" I yell as I tickled Wendy.

"What's with all the racket?" Dad lazily walks down the stairs.

Mom laughed and pointed to me and Wendy.

"YOU TWO SHUT UP!" Dad yells.

"STAY OUTTA THIS OLD MAN!" I yelled back.

Suddenly, my phone started ringing.
Lucy was calling.

"Hey Lu-" I was cut off by a very angry Lucy.

"SHUT UP! I CAN HEAR YOU GUYS FROM HERE!" Lucy yells and hangs up.

I continued to tickle Wendy, disregarding what Luce just said.

Then when I wasn't paying attention, Wendy got away from my tickle attack. Jeez.

"Natsu, it's such a lovely day outside! Why don't you call one of your friends and ask them to hang out?" Mom suggests.

"Well yeah, I guess I could go with Luce. But she's probably busy with some lousy paperwork." I sighed.

"What about Gray?" Mom suggests.

"Too annoying." I reject.

"Why don't you call Lucy and ask her if she's free?" Wendy suggests.

I took out my phone and called Lucy.

*Start Call*

Lucy: What.

Me: You busy?

Lucy: No, why?

Me: Let's hang out today! I'll pick you up at 10!

Lucy: Oh uh, sure! Okay!

Me: Alright! Later Luce!

Lucy: Bye!

*End Call*

I sighed in relief as Wendy looked at me with excitement and squealed.

"You're in love with her, aren't you?!" Wendy squeals.

I blushed and nodded lightly.

"I'm sure you'll just break 'er heart, like you did with every other girl." Dad groans.

Wendy pinched him on the cheek.

"Dad! Lucy's different! She didn't fall for him, at all! I'm fact, she started off hating him! But now they're really close friends. So don't compare her with those other girls!" Wendy yells.

Dad laughed and patted her on the head. "You're just like your mother, you know that?"

"Well of course, she's my daughter after all." Mom laughs as she places two cups of tea onto a tray.

Wendy didn't like the idea of "step-family", she thinks of us as her real family, which we are.

"Now Natsu, if you want to impress this Lucy, you'll need my help." Mom suggests.
