Married At First Sight (NaLu FanFic)

Chapter 9: The Present

Lucy POV

After school, we would go to the same place we usually hang out after school, a cafe near the school. A lot of students would hang out here simply because it's great place to relax and have some coffee and some snacks.

We would buy snacks as well like muffins and milkshakes, while Erza would buy her usual; strawberry cheesecake with whipped cream on top and a strawberry milkshake.

I finally met Jellal, Erza's childhood friend. To be honest, he was pretty good looking, Erza definitely picked a great one. He was a gentleman, every girl's dream of a boyfriend. Even some of the girls that were hanging in the cafe as well were staring at Jellal and whispering about him probably. I overheard that he and Erza might be together. That rumour may be true after a few more months. We, as a group of friends will make that happen.

"Wow, you really like strawberries Erza." Juvia said while looking at her plate. She nodded with some pride. "Of course, I loved strawberries ever since I was little." Every in the classroom knew that Erza like strawberries. She would bring food that has strawberries in it, mostly sweets as well. I'm amazed that she's still has that slim waist.

"Okay, I'm in a hurry as well, my parents are going on a business trip and I'll be helping them to the airport." I added.

"So, it's only going to be the three of us?" Levy pouted. "I wanted to discuss about a sleepover."

"Don't worry, I'll be there." I said to reassure her.

She sighed. "Fine, I'll text you the details." After that, I went straight home, not our home, but my family's home. The Heartfillia Manor. I went in to see my parents sitting down on the couch, discussing about something, and their bags on the side of the room.

"I'm here, so what do you want to give to me?" I asked them.

"Honey! You're here. We were arguing about the present that were about to give you." She saids with a bright smile. "I think it's something that you won't like, but it will help you with your husband, Natsu." My dad added.

my mom put her arms over her shoulders and leaned, making me lean as well. "You and Natsu haven't done anything... with each other, right?" That made me think to what she was saying, until I finally got what she meant, making me blush. I got rid of her arm and stood up and my face blushing red and getting more red by the second.

"Of course not! We've been only been married for 3 days!" I screamed. "Besides, I will never do that to him." I crossed my arms against my chest.

"I'm sorry, Baby. But, we just want you to be comfortable and happy with your husband." She said as she puts stands of my hair behind my ear. "I know that he will be the one for you."

"I don't know about that. I mean, he looks like that he has something for you. I just know it." She holds my face with both of her hands and puts it on her palms. "Just be happy. You look better smiling." She replies with a smile of her own.

We hugged each other and I looked and noticed, "By the way, where's dad?" i finally saw him with the bags, carrying and sliding them through the doors. "Honey, it's time to go." He says.

"Time for us to go. I'll get you something for you, but now." Dad brings a flat present a ribbon knotted to it that looks like it contained some clothing. "Here's for you. To make him and you happy." That made me a little suspicious to what they gave to me. How can this thing make me and Natsu happy?

"Anyways, we have to go. You can go back to your house." She says as she helps Father with the bags. Give your mother a kiss." She came in to give me her big kisses on my cheek. I tried to run away from her kisses, but it was too late. She got me on a hold that I couldn't get out and she gave me the kiss that I remember as a kid that she would give me all the time.

I finally got out of her hold, getting rid of the kiss mark on my cheek. She giggled as she watched me getting rid of the mark. "Ugh, I'm going. See you in a week." I waved at them as they get out of the driveway and headed for the airport. I waved at them until they were out of sight as they disappear out off the corner.

Virgo was outside with me, saying goodbye to me asa I go to my house. "I hope you have a great time with your husband, Princess." She says as she bows in front of me. "I miss you, Virgo. It's pretty boring when you're not around."

All of a sudden, she holding rope, giving it to me. "I'm sorry for your inconvenience, Princess. please punish me." I sweatdropped when she said that. She's always like that. When she thinks she did something bad or something that makes me unsatisfied, she always asks me to 'punish' her.

I just ignored her question and said, "See you later, Virgo. I'm going." I said as I head out to my home.

When I was finally home, I heard the TV on. Knowing Natsu, he's probably asleep while watching TV. I opened the door to that my predictions were wrong. He was trying to make himself some dinner. He was trying to make some, what it appears to look like, chicken teriyaki. Some of what he was doing was half right, half wrong, even though it was as simple as it gets.

Apparently, he didn't heard me or saw me going in as he was focused on making dinner for probably both of us. So, I sneaked past him to the staircase and went to the bedroom. I laid down on the bed, sighing of relief and stretching and getting rid of the stress inside my body. Then I looked at my left to see the present. I was curious to what it was. I got up and looked at the present and it had a note behind it. It said, 'Don't open it for a special occasion. -Mother'

But I ignored it and opened it. I untied the ribbon and saw something that made me blush. It was a black lingerie that you can see through except for the parts that should be covered. In the back of my mind, I was thinking, "how can a mother give a lingerie to her own daughter?"

So, I hid it inside the closet where I can't see it and just forget about it. I went inside the bathroom to take a shower to freshen up, changed into my pyjamas and went downstairs.

While I was going downstairs, I smelled something burning, knowing it had to do with Natsu in the kitchen. I saw a batch of burned chicken on the counter, I didn't see him because he was getting something from the oven. When he finally got up, he was definitely surprised that I'm finally home and at the same time, a little embarrassed of what he has created in the last 2 hours, I mean anyone would be embarrassed burning up food.
