50 shades of salmon

Chapter 19

<NATSU POV>

"You need to go home, you can't work like this" Mira said pushing herself off the ground "I'll call the limo and your chef to make sure you have food ready and waiting for you when you get home. I'll make sure everything is fine over here and then I'll join you okay?" she said picking up the phone from the desk and dialing a number.

"Okay" I mumbled standing up just to sit down on one of the chairs. 

"Hi, yes this is she. You have five minutes to get here before you get replaced thanks" she said shockingly sweet into the phone before hanging up and dialing a new number. "Yes, just make something that won't make him sick, don't be an idiot" she said once more into the phone before hanging up. "You go downstairs and wait for the car, I'll make sure everything is stable here and I'll meet you in about an hour." 

"Okay" I stood up and walked out, I didn't take the elevator if I sat alone with my thoughts in a place where she just was I would end up crying on the floor again. 

"How's it going boss? Clocking out early?" the new secretary said as I walked past her desk. All I did in response was grunt which prompted her to ask me again. This time I ignored her and continued walking out the double doors of my building and into the limo waiting outside. 

"House" I grunted as I sat in the back and poured some whisky into a glass. 

*******************************************************************************************

I stumbled around the house trying to get to the kitchen. The house seemed more dull without her, even though she was only here a few times. Everyday has been blurred together since she left after Lillian. I thought she would've come by, texted me, called anything. I know what I said about calling her later but she needed that time to cool off after a psycho yelled at her and basically threatened her. Two weeks with nothing from her and then she comes into my office and ends this, whatever this was. It wasn't like the other girls I've come in contact with. Lucy, she was so different than everyone else.

"Good day master, here's your food" the chef smiled at me placing the plate in front of me as I sat at the table. 

"What's so good about it" I scoffed picking up a fork.

"I...I mean. It's just a saying... and its.. nice outside" She stumbled over her words. 

"Get out" I said shoveling food into my mouth. All I can do is think about her, everything about her, her blonde mess of a hair across my pillow, her soft features, the way she would smile without even realizing, she was intoxicating everything about her and I don't know or understand why. The others were submissive, they would do what they were told and would beg to be with me, but I never wanted anyone to see them with me, I would lock them away and they wouldn't ask why. But Lucy, I wanted the world to see her, show off that she was mine, that I had her and no one else. 

I think, I think Mira was right. I like her, I actually truly liked someone for the first time in my life. This hurts and that's why I've closed myself off to everyone else. Lucy is like a breath of fresh air, whenever I see her my world just gets a little brighter. Lucy has planned a life for herself, she has ambitions, a future. The others they don't have ambitions like her, Lillian followed me around like a lost dog and the rest of them just aimlessly wandered around as if they actually had dreams but they didn't and it was very apparent. None of them were in school I met them all when I was at lunch or at my office, but Lucy I met her for a school project, she was trying to do something with her life. 

Just the thought of her with someone else hurt me, I felt everything in my body fail whenever something like that crossed my mind. I can't even sleep in my own bed without thinking of her, everything reminds me of her. My building, my home office, my room, even the front door and the stairs remind me of her. "Natsu, I'm back" I heard Mira's voice call out.

"I think, I'm going to stay in a hotel this week. I just need space. Count this as my vacation" I stood up and went to my room to pack.

"I'll set up the reservations" she quickly grabbed her phone and started typing. 

Day 1: I laid all day not knowing what to do with my life, not knowing what the effect I had on her was. She probably had no idea what effect she had on me. Even in this knew scenery all I could do was just think about her.

Day 2: I showered. But I didn't clean myself. I leaned against the wall as the water pounded against my body. I just stood there as the hot water produced steam that radiated off of my body. I put on fresh clothes and laid in the bed staring at the wall.

Day 3-6: I laid in bed. Day in and day out. Room service would come in and leave meals for me that I would pick at before they came in with a new meal and took away the old one. Mira would stop by and put her phone on speaker during calls, I didn't know how it was but it was silent besides a few sniffles and breathing, other times the calls would be Wendy. She would make fun of me for actually feeling something for once and how I was actually human.

Day 7: At this point I almost had a full on beard, that Mira would poke fun at every time she stopped by. "Hey I brought you someone " Mira smiled wildly.

"Hey Salamander" Lis stepped in the room and smiled at me.

"Lis? What are you doing here" I asked some emotion returning to my face other than pain.

"She called me to get your sorry ass out of bed" She lightly laughed "So come on get out" she waved her arm motioning for me to come with her.

"Mira, what's happening?" I asked looking between the two of them.

"You're getting out of bed and you're going to come with us after you put something else on other than shorts and sweatpants" she told me smiling.

"Fine" I got out the bed and I put on jeans and a long sleeve shirt with some sneakers "Let's go" I sighed running a hand through my hair.
