Chapter 47: Making A Move


Today is a busy day again because your shop is swarming of customers.

From having a hard time thinking of new ideas about your clothes, right now, you came back from what you are before.

You're happy that you came back but that's not the case because you knew from the start, after the incident, everything changed already and you are still clinging to your past self because you are afraid of changing.

"It's full of customers again" Lucy is squeezing herself to the crowd.

"W-woah" because it was too crowded inside your shop, she was about to fall down but there is Natsu to catch her before falling.

"Be careful" he said and you saw Lucy blushing.

"L-let go of me" Lucy said flustering.

Because of what you saw earlier, you grinned at Lucy, moving your left eyebrows up and down to tease her.

"Stop that" Lucy is started to get embarrassed.

You laughed at her.

"You go upstairs with Sera" you said while still laughing.

The reason why Lucy is here is not because she wanted to find some new clothes instead she wants to talk to you about something else.

You don't know what she really wanted to talk about but because you're always a type of person who her ears is always open for problems, you lend her an ear even if you're too busy because of your work.

While busy on giving service to your customers, Natsu went towards you to look for Lucy.

"Where's Lucy?" Natsu seems a bit worried.

"She's upstairs, why?" You asked him while you're still busy working.

"I thought it was weird for her to sneak around so I followed her and ended up here. Does she said anything to you?" Natsu is a blockhead when it comes to these situations and so you are when it comes to other things.

"Are you worried?" you asked him.

"Well yeah because she's my friend and my comrade" he said not really understand why you asked him that.

"Maybe she sneaked out because she wanted to have a private time today" you said and gave one of your customers the clothes she chose inside a paper bag.

"Really? Am I bothering her then?" You nodded as a response.

"Well... take good care of her then" he said and waved a goodbye.

You don't really know what's happening but it seems like the problem that Lucy is thinking about right now is somehow related to Natsu. Does Natsu did anything to Lucy for her to be troubled?

After a long day of having too many customers buying your new creations, it exhausted you and went upstairs and it seems like you forgot you had a visitor.

"Ahh....sorry I forgot about you" you said at Lucy while scratching the back of your head.

"It's alright" she said eating one of the pastries that Sera made.

You sat beside Lucy and let out a big sigh.

"Here's a juice" Sera gave you an orange juice and you drink it in one gulped after he gave you the glass.

"You're pretty tired" Lucy said worrying about you.

"It's because this week had too much work and I can't keep up" you said mourning your troubles.
