The Things She Never Spoke Of

Chapter 25

Lucy POV:
My eyes flutter open to be greeted by the glistening sunlight shining from my window.

Rubbing my eyes, I sit up in my bed and look to my phone resting on my bedside table.

Reaching over to grab it, I press the home button to see if I have any notifications.

'New Message' shines back at me in white letters.

Unlocking my phone and clicking my messages, a smile forms on my face.

"Morning Luce, wanna hangout with me today?"

Slightly giggling at the text, I write back, "Of course!"

Almost immediately Natsu replies back with, "Great! I'll meet you at noon!"

My smile only grows bigger until I look at the time.

"Oh my god, it's 11:45!" I panic.

Rushing to my closet, I quickly pick out a cute outfit to wear: a thick, pink and white sweater, black pants, and black ankle boots.

Running into the bathroom, I change my clothes and fix my hair into a side ponytail.

I look at my phone for the last time before exiting the bathroom.

"Five minutes til noon."

Leaving my room and racing down the stairs, I leave the house without a sound.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After about ten minutes of walking, I reach Natsu's house.

There on the front steps is where he happily stands.

As I approach him, he greets with his signature grin, "Good late morning Luce!"

"Good late morning to you too, Natsu." I respond while giggling.

He's wearing a white sweater with black jeans; on his head is a light gray beanie and around his neck is his white, striped scarf.

"So handsome..."

My cheeks warm up at my thought.

"So, what're we doing today?" I ask as Natsu joins me on the sidewalk.

"It's a secret." Natsu answers with a sly grin and a wink.

"Aw, come on not this again." I playfully whine.

"It's gonna be fun, don't worry about it Luce!" he laughs.

Natsu and I continue walking until we reach his car.

Standing next to the car, we open the doors and hop inside.

Buckling our seat-belts and turning the key in the ignition, Natsu and I drive off to the unknown destination.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After about fifteen minutes we arrive at our destination.

Getting out of the car, I'm a little shocked and confused to see what our destination was.

In front of me was the open field that Natsu, the others, and I stargazed at.

Even though I was slightly confused at why we were here, I since examined the beautiful view.

In the sunlight, the grass sparkles as a result of the light amount of melted snow left on them. The sky was painted with white, fluffy clouds here and there and the sun shined brightly down on us. There was a slight breeze of winter air that made the plants sway and dance. Everything was just breathtaking.
