Chapter 5
As seconds turn to minutes and as minutes turn to hours,
As hours turn to days and as days turn to weeks,
My longing for you will never cease.
Your memory is ingrained in my heart.
Natsu groaned loudly as he slumped down on his seat. His arms hanging at his side while Happy sat on the table.
"Quit it Natsu. Stop Groaning! It's spoiling my appetite." Gray was sitting across Natsu with Erza by his side. He lifted a glass of cold water and chugged down the liquid in one go.
They were seated at a restaurant in Song City and were waiting for their orders to arrive. It has been a long trip for the gang that they were now as hungry as hell.
After they sat and took a rest at a clearing in the woods, Natsu insisted to Erza and Gray that they should already be travelling along the forest. At first, the two seemed agreeable and so they followed after Natsu in silence.
Things got nasty when all Erza could see were green leaves, brown tree trunks, and ants of different sizes and colours. Gray couldn't care less but the heat made him stripped out of his clothes and all hell broke loose. Erza's temper snapped at that instant.
The moment they caught sight of a town, the two boys immediately went in for a restaurant. They waited for Erza to come near them as she was still busy enjoying the cool breeze that went past her. A pissed Erza was one that they could never face even in their dreams.
"Here are your orders."
Gray turned his head towards the voice and gave the waitress a charming smile. Natsu was still slumping in his chair while Erza and Happy held out their hands to receive their food.
The waitress was grinning and smiling back at Gray while giving Erza her Chicken Barbeque with Rice and Happy his Tuna Paella. She even brushed her fingers against Gray's hands as she hands him his Beef Brisket with Rice. She turned to Natsu lastly as she handed him his Roasted Chicken and Spaghetti.
"Natsu, why are we here again?"Erza asked Natsu as she bit her luscious chicken meal.
Natsu was munching on his meal when his eyes met Erza's, "Because we are looking for Lucy?"
"Nice answer Flame-brain, but how are you sure that she is anywhere near us right now?" Gray lifted an eyebrow at Natsu's direction. "For all we know, she might be in another direction opposite of where we are going."
"I trust my instinct. It never failed me even once."
"So you had us follow you around just because of your stupid animal instinct?"
"Shut up stripper! My animal instinct is perfectly accurate!"
Gray was about to rebut Natsu's comment when Happy beat him to it. "Oh do not make a fuss about it Gray, it's not animal instinct, it is called L-O-V-E instinct."
"Natsu," Erza spoke in a low tone "if you had us in the wrong direction, I swear you will not be seeing the next sunrise."
Slowly, you fill my mind with your smile,
Gently, you reach out and hold my heart in your hands,
Lately, all I wanted to say is I Love You.
"Lucy, what do you want to do today?"
Lucy jerked her head up and smiled at Loki. She just finished writing in her journal when said Lion walked in the room.
"Smiling will not work on me Lucy." Loki walked over to Lucy and teasingly poked her forehead.
"Well, how about we eat something after we checked-out of this place?"
"Okay."
"I'll meet you downstairs. I still need to finish packing my things."
Loki nodded his head at Lucy's request. He was happy that the girl was back to her old cheery self. Seeing a depressed Lucy was always a pain in his eyes, her tears made his heart clenched in anger towards a certain pink-haired man.
As he looked at Lucy's serene face, he could not help but admire the beauty before him. She looks beautiful and he was glad it was all for his sight. He smiled at Lucy one last time before he exited the room. He'd be damned if he allowed this chance to slip by his hands.
Lucy watched Loki's retreating back before she glanced down at her journal. Today seemed a little surreal. She knows it was not because of what happened during her mini-date with Loki, but she was sure of one thing – Loki is definitely someone who can weave into people's hearts.
She collected her notebook and pen and placed it inside her bag. It was a habit that she can never outgrow, for Lucy, writing her thoughts and feelings became her little entertainment for herself. She even laughs loudly whenever she reread some funny entries she wrote.
It took Lucy five minutes to keep her things and another five was spent in front of the mirror. When she was satisfied with her look, she arranged her bag properly over her shoulder and walk out of the room to go downstairs.
Loki was flipping through some magazines when he felt Lucy's presence in the room. He already paid the hotel personnel a while ago before he went into his master's room. They were supposed to be leaving Song City two hours ago but were delayed because he did not have the heart to wake Lucy up.
"Hi Loki, I am really hungry so why don't we go and grab something to eat?" Lucy reached Loki's side and looped her arms around his.
"Sounds good to me Princess."
My fingers can only reach as far as the tips of your hair,
It is like clinging to life even when fate keeps us apart.
"Natsu, what are you going to say to Lucy when you see her again?" Erza asked Natsu as the waitress came to pick up their payment for their food.
"I don't really know, I just want her back with us."
"I really hope she's thinking the same thing Natsu."
"Gray, believe me, I really hope of it as well."
The group went out of the door as soon as the waitress came back with their change. They were turning towards the hotel section when Happy perked up his ears and tapped Natsu in the shoulder.
"Hey, I think I just saw a flash of yellow, must be my imagination."
"Happy you are just tired, though maybe I am too. For some odd reason I kept smelling Lucy's scent."
Erza strained her eyes in the direction where Happy saw a flash of yellow. Everything was muffled and was blocking her sight. She shrugged her shoulders and motioned for the group to get some decent sleep at a hotel.
"How may I help you miss?" The hotel receptionist greeted Erza with a smile. Natsu, Gray, and Happy stood behind her.
"I need two rooms please."
"Oh you're just in luck; we only have two rooms left, two of our guests just left earlier. They were really a nice couple, though I am still wondering why they did not share a room and opted to have separate quarters."
The streets of Song city was as busy as usual. Lucy walked happily at Loki's side while chatting about what train they should ride in order to reach her father's new house.
"Lucy, I thought you wanted to eat some chicken barbeque at the shop we just passed?"
Lucy stopped in her tracks and looked at Loki. "I thought we should just grab some food at the station seeing that we are a little off our schedule."
Loki laughed at her comment and nodded his head."Well, we would not be this late if you woke up earlier. By the way, you should get some sleep during the ride. I love hearing you sleep talk."
"SHUT IT! I don't talk in my sleep!" Lucy punched Loki lightly on the arm and dragged him towards the train station up ahead.
I reached out for you even in my sleep,
But even then, I can never reach you,
Just like how our hearts can never meet.
