The Celestial Café

The meeting of Fate

As the sound of a bell went off. Notifying that someone has entered. Lucy looks up to see a teenage boy who has pink hair. She tilts her head in confusion. Why is his hair pink? Was it a dare? The boy walks up to the counter, "Miss I'd like one medium caramel ice coffee", he states rather quickly. Lucy quickly jots down his order and sends it to the back. The boy pays her, "keep the change", he winks. Her face in disgust. What the blonde hates more than boys or men who use women, she hates boys and men who flirt with her at work. Lucy started working at Celestial Café 2 months ago. She has gotten a total of 20 different numbers, none of which she cared for, Lucy threw them all away.

The blonde looks up and notices that the boy is still there, even tho he has his coffee. "Can I help you?" She asks quite rudely. He lays his head on his hand that was leaning against the counter, "You can actually! By hitting me up sometime", he says sliding his number over. Her hand takes the paper and slides it back to him.

"I'm sorry, but I don't accept numbers of people I don't know", she smirks at him and calls for the next costumer. The boy gets annoyed and decides to sit at a table. He drinks his coffee and watches the blonde work. Ugh! Why can't he just go away? Lucy asks herself. She ignores him till her manger Erza Scarlett stops Lucy from helping anyone else. "Lucy! Please go help that pink haired boy over there! I'll have Levy take care of the counter." Erza tells her while Levy takes Lucy's place. Of course, the blond groans at having to talk to this boy again. Getting a tray and a note pad, she walks over to him.

"Sir, are you wanting anything today?" She's asks him with a harsh tone. The boy tilts his head and smirks.

"Well, now that I think about it. I'd love for your name", he smirks once more. Lucy grits her teeth.

She sighs, "Lucy", she gives up. The boys eyes light up. He smiles at her and stands up. "Well Miss Lucy, I'm Natsu Dragneel. I'd love to see you around", Natsu looks at his watch," but you see if I'm anymore late than I am, I will have my head mounted on a wall", he winks at her and once again hands her another piece of paper before waving and walking out.

Lucy glares at the folded paper and puts it in her back pocket. Cursing under breath, knowing that she will regret saving the paper.

"Erza! I'm heading out! See you tomorrow!" Lucy calls after her boss.

"Be safe walking home!" Erza yells back.

Lucy grabs her purse and walks out the back. The night was still warm from the 92° that it was earlier that day. Lucy takes out her pony tails and soon reaches her new apartment she moved into 3 months ago. She walks into the elevator and presses the 14th floor. The elevator rises. The blonde pulls out the paper and her phone. Rolling her eyes and sighing, she willingly puts the number in her phone.

"I pray that I don't regret doing that..." she says quietly to herself.

The elevator comes to a stop and the doors open. Lucy steps out and walks through the halls and finds door 15. Having the key slide into the lock and unlock the door. The blonde feels relieve when she closes the door behind her. With the lights being on now, she glances around her apartment. It was a 5 room apartment. 1 bedroom with a bathroom, another bathroom, a kitchen, and a living room. It was small but she enjoys living there. Lucy tosses her purse on the couch and sits along side it. Her phone in her hand staring at the screen at the new number under, Annoying boy Natsu.

She pulls the phone closer and presses message.

Lucy: Is this Natsu Dragneel?
