He Took My Heart

The reporter and the author.

Lucy's P.O.V.
'I can't believe I'm assigned to the Natsu Dragneel! This is a rare chance for a newbie like me so I must do my best for the boss' sake.' I thought to myself. 'He's almost here...
clothes: check
notepad: check
pen: check
hair: check.
Alright I can do this... I can do this... I can do this...' I repeated over and over into my head until he himself appeared. Natsu Dragneel.

I walked up to the crowd slowly, "Excuse me, can I get through? Excuse me? Etto.." I said as I tried to mingle my way thru the crowd, but they threw me back and I hit the hard floor, "ow." I mumbled to myself. I looked around the room for another way thru until I saw a little opening between the rush of people. I walked into the crowd and then I saw him. He looked straight at me with a cheeky grin on his face. I asked, "Sir Dragneel? May I ask you some questions?" To my surprise he replied, "oh of course. Shoot." My face brightened up and I gave him a smile before started to ask him questions. Before I could finish my last question he asked me, "what happened to your arm?" I looked at my arm and I saw a bruise and I decided to lie, "oh I fell down, don't worry about it." I said kindly, but he didn't accept my answer. "Hold on." He said before grabbing my arm and walking me to a private room, leaving the crowd screaming, "hey why does she get to go somewhere" and "why is she so special?!"

When Natsu closed the door behind me he sat me down on a sofa and examined my arm, "Nat- I mean Sir Dragneel really I'm okay" I said. "But your not, there's some bandages in the bathroom to your disposal. Go ahead. Oh and you may call me Natsu if you like." I nodded and entered the bathroom to "clean" my bruise.

After I finished, I found Natsu sitting on the sofa with his eyes closed. "Sir- I mean Natsu? Are you alright?" I asked him and he replied, "huh? Oh yes I'm okay, just a little tired is all." He said with an exhausted smile. "I mean if you want you could use my lap for a pillow and take a nap..." "Really? That would be great." He said. My face went bright red, "I-I said that out loud?! I—I'm so sorry that was really rude of me and- " I was cut off my his strong arms picking me up and putting me on the sofa, then resting his head on my lap. I looked like a tomato by now and thought to myself 'what is the boss going to say about this?!'. He looked up at me after a little while and asked, "why are you red? Do you have a fever?" He then touched my forehead and I replied immediately, "n-no! I'm o-okay trust me!" "Then why are you so red? Don't tell me your embarrassed." He said with a chuckle. "I-I haven't ever had a man on my lap so it was just surprising that's all." I said while looking away, ashamed of how I couldn't score a single guy. "Well your comfy. Wake me up in thirty miss...?" He said. "Lucy. Lucy Heartfilia." I said with a smile. "Alright Lucy."

That's all for now! See y'all on Friday. Oh sorry I forgot to mention I post every Friday, hopefully.
