The Worst Man To Love ♡ NaLu

6th Downfall

Because it takes too long for me to formulate a plot on one chapter, I have to divide a single chapter into two parts so that I could update early and also think thoroughly for the next scene.

"Never play fire with a demon."

I found myself wearing a large white shirt that seemed to be the only decent clothing I have wore with nothing underneath. I was slightly confused to why was I cooking two same dishes for breakfast but it seems that the second dish looks very spicy for me. It felt confusing but deep down it came so natural for me to do so. Slightly tanned arms stealthily wrapped around my waist with his nose sniffing on my neck, a sigh of content escaped the intruders lips.

His warmth... It feels so familar. I couldn't quite pinpoint who exactly it belonged to. It felt so comforting that I couldn't help but lean in his embrace. I felt a small smile appeared on my lips, satisfied with his affection. "Lucy.." He kissed my neck tenderly. My nose perked up at the burning scent. I panicked at the sight of a burnt breakfast. It was his fault for keeping me distracted.

My head ached badly once I woke up from my slumber. What was that dream? I thought to myself, clutching my scalp. It felt so real. I felt terrified of what my dream had showed me but it felt right at the same time.

My phone vibrated in top of the coffee table. I quickly answered the caller. "Ms. Heartfilia" A recognizable voice echoed through the line. His tone seemed to mock my name once more. "Mr. Dragneel." I spat, trying to sound respectful. "Getting riled up are we?" I could imagine his smirk growing wider, making me more irritated than usual. "You're father had instructed me to meet you at the contruction site to see if the general plans need changing." A scowl etched on my face. "I'll be there." I replied, almost pressing my phone to end the call. "Oh and one more thing, Mr. Heartfilia would want us to use the company van." Now my face frowned even more if it was possible.

I wore a cream colored pencil skirt and white buttoned blouse to match it with small heeled sandals since the site was a bit rocky and we need equipment to remove large rocks underneath for the building's foundation. I applied a small amount of lip tint for a glossy touch and mascara to extend my lashes, then I was ready to go.

The driver slid the van open revealing Natsu Dragneel in all his former glory. He was simply wearing a black shirt, a scaled white scarf, blue denim shorts with a black tinted shades. His muscles seems to flex, crossing his arms. I don't know whether or not he was actually looking at me. I feel a bit flustered due to my formal attire. What the hell was this guy making me feel? "Done checking me out?" I narrowed my eyes at him. "Tch. I've seen better." He let out a sly grin. "Really?" My eyes curiously glanced at the woman who sat beside him. She modelled a shiny red hair with small curls at its end. She was wearing a black tank top that makes her breasts fuller for anyone to see. The woman was giggling beside him just as he said something to her that I couldn't even hear. My brows twitched in annoyance.

"Ms. Heartfilia, this is Engineer Itadori who would be with us today. Kamika, this is the Heartfilia heiress, Ms. Lucy."

I took a seat beside him as the engine roared into life. His arms were resting above his head, glancing at the car's window. I couldn't help to glance at him curiously. It was a bit awkward since he sat in between us and I had no place to sit far away from them since the van was filled blue prints and among all other things needed.

It took 5 hours to arrive at our destination. The middle aged man greeted us as we set outside the vehicle. Father had bought a very huge lot in between two private rest houses. We stood atop of a cliff just to see the whole area. It appears that he wanted to open a hotel in which near the ocean and the city's hanging gardens. "This is great." Kamika with glee, standing beside Natsu with her hands wrapped around his arm. The driver who had followed us, stood beside the care taker whom that had told us about the area.

We went to another path in order to take a closer look at the site. The road was muddy since the care taker had said that it had rained last night. Kamika managed to walk fast, wearing shoes for convenience. I however, was struggling with the sticky mud that can't seem to let go of my sandals. "Why do you have to wear those in a place like this?" I yelped in surprise as his tall frame came behind me. "You're slowing us down." His hand suddenly supported my boy, carrying me in his shoulder with my torso facing his back. "What are you doing?!" I shouted, startled at our closeness. "Look Ms. Heartfilia, I'm here to help you." He murmured, taking a small glance on my butt. Pervert. I gritted my teeth in annoyance.

He carried me throughout our walk without even looking struggled with my weight. Kamika gave me a small glance before joining the driver and the care taker.
