Ms Heartfilia (NaLu)

Ch 7

(Lucy POV)

No...

No, no, no, no, no, ect...

This can't be real, it's him. No freaking way in h*ll. This is impossible, how could the number one thing that I hoped not to happen tonight, happened!

There, in front of us, stood my father. Jude Heartfilia, in his usual suit. He must be the important rich guy that Natsu was talking about, not that I care anymore.

My father must have come here alone too. My mother didn't always come to these sorts of things, she also didn't like to travel. Sting moved out and is doing his own thing and running a business, so that's probably why he isn't here, he's 26.

My stomach dropped, I stood up from my chair as soon as my warm brown eyes landed on my fathers cold black ones.

Natsu followed my actions, and stood up from his chair.

"Mr Heartfilia, how'v you been?" Natsu greeted with his hand out, which my father gladly accepted, "Hey, you wouldn't believe this, she,"He gestured towards me, "has the same last name as you. Cool coincidence, huh?"

"Oh really? How interesting." He smiled and  acted as if he didn't know me.

How could he just say that? Does he not even care about me even in the slightest bit anymore? Is he not happy to see me?!

So that's how he wants to be, fine. I will too.

I fake smiled, "Hi, I'm Lucy Heartfilia." I stuck out my hand.

"Its a pleasure." He greeted back, shaking my warm hand in his cold one.

"So, why don't you take a seat Mr Heartfilia, we're still waiting for some people." Said Natsu.

"Of course, of course."

I don't think I could've cringed more. This is going to be a long night.

Finally, when all the guests that were to sit at our large table arrived, we finally were able to order some food.

During the time we were waiting, Natsu and my father were talking about business and crap I didn't care about, while I just sat there beside Natsu twiddling my thumbs. I couldn't have been more nervous.

"Good evening everyone, are you ready to order?" A waiter asked us all.

I ordered some pasta with rosé sauce and shrimp, while Natsu ordered steak and potatoes with salad.

After everyone ordered their dinner, the waiter smiled and took all the menus, walking to the kitchen.

"So Lucy, tell us about yourself. What is it that you do for a job?" My father asked, bringing everyone's attention at the table on me.

My stomach dropped once again, and my mouth went dry.

The b*astard, he has no business asking me questions that he should already know considering he's my father.

He doesn't actually know where I live or what I do, only my mother does. He never asked 'till now. He never cared, he's just trying to embarrass me now.

"W-well, I teach." I replied.

I didn't say who or what I teach specifically, let's just hope he doesn't ask about that. All these rich people here are already judging due to the looks on their faces.

"How fascinating, and another question if that's alright," he continued, "what is it that you teach?"

Of -f*cking-course. Why is he even talking to me?!
