Chapter 6

Lucy's pov

I turn away from him and start to take off my hoodie slowly, in my shyness and not really wanting to show him. He's the only person I ever would show them to honestly. I can't look at him while I show this honestly. I cover my face with my hair in front and let it drop slowly regretting it almost immediately. I hear him intake a breath probably trying to control himself and prepare himself for what he might see. I think we all know what he struggles with now. The room is just filled with dead silence you could hear a pin drop. Then he breaks it by saying "I'm sorry that I wasn't there to protect you" he says.

Then he proceeds to lightly laying a finger on my scar and tracing it. He kisses my shoulder and neck finally coming around and kissing my lips. "I don't care about your baggage. I love you either way I'll wait for you" he murmurs in my ear. He winks at me before exiting the room while I'm left with a load of confusion. I knew he cared about me but I didn't think it could possibly be that much though. He sounded pretty sincere about all of that to me but I want to be sure before I jump into anything.

I sit on the bed taking a minute to process everything that had just happened and call Levy for some really needed girl time. I haven't talked to her since I got this job a ton but I still have just not as much as we used to anymore so I owe her a call every once in a while. I feel bad for not calling her earlier. She's probably going to be so mad at me. I go to my room and shut the door for some privacy. I pull up her contact information and press the call button. I hear it ring once and her pick it up. I know it's Levy because she squeals as soon as she hears my voice. "OMG! Hi it's been a while! How are you? Are you still working there? Are you OK? Is he nice and treating you well? Did you make other friends there?" That makes me feel guilty for not calling her in awhile. We were so close ever since elementary school.

Also remember to take a breath and breathe I can't answer all your questions at one time" I say and we both start laughing at that. "Sorry" she apologizes immediately to me." It's been great I have been making new friends. I've gotten closer to Laxus. That's actually what I was calling you to talk about. I wanted your advice on something" I say. I filled her in on everything that has happened in the past week. We laughed and talked for hours catching up on random stuff. The guys in the latest gossip on people like celebrities I have to say goodbye with a heavy heart.

"Sorry Levy I have to go but I promise to call you more often I really missed you." She seems disappointed hearing that but let me go anywhere. I shut off my phone getting ready to prepare dinner. I was actually not really supposed to take that long in the first place. I turn around seeing Laxus in the doorway. I jump a good couple inches off the bed almost dropping my phone. LAXUS! YOU SCARED THE HELL OUT OF ME! YOU BETTER NOT HAVE BEEN EAVESDROPPING!!!" I yell at him. "Jesus woman you're loud he says covering his ears actually pretty loudly. Then he says "sorry I just got here just as you ended your call. I just wanted to ask you to dinner. Sorry for scaring you" he tells me. I breathe a sigh of relief knowing that he didn't hear our conversation I know for sure that I didn't want him to hear us talking about him.

"You should get dressed then if you're coming with me we'll leave at six" he tells me. I nod my head accepting his offer of going out. I choose three different options to choose from depending on where we are going to go. One is a blue dress with turtleneck sleeves which could go with my white shawl. The second one is a black cocktail dress but when I lay eyes on the third one I now that that's the one I want. It's a nice pink ruffle crop top that I paired with skinny jeans that make my butt look bigger and good. I curl my wavy hair ever so slightly and let little bits hang off of each shoulder the rest in the back.

I slip into my pair of maude color skinny high heels that are about three inches high. I bring black converses with me just in case we are going somewhere messier that I thought. They also strategically can go with this outfit too. I think this is a pretty modest outfit considering we are talking about me.

Where is he taking her?

Is this a date?

How will Laxus react to her outfit?

How much of her conversation did he actually hear?
